Ken Ohka has a plan to strengthen Ganbare☆Wrestling in their war with Union. That plan is to bring in his enemy Osamu Namiguchi! Problem is he doesn’t know where to find him. Ohka has gone as far as to publicly post Namiguchi’s phone and mobile numbers. He demanded his fans to contact Namiguchi and tell him to join Ganpuro’s side. He also requested anyone who knows his whereabouts to email Yumehito Imanari.

Immediately after revealing his email address, Imanari got a message from Tigers Mask asking for a booking. Joshi wrestler Miyako Matsumoto then suddenly appeared next to Imanari also asking to be booked. Believing this to be fate, Ohka made Tigers Mask Vs Miyamo Matsumoto for the show.

Dr. Kiriko is the mysterious person who put J-Soul Pandita III to sleep at “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!” in December. Survival Tobita has sworn revenge because he’s sure as Hell not going to start wrestling normal opponents.

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT” Results

March 30, 2014

akito-kudo

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT – PART 1”, 29/03/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
532 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Shun Miyatake with a Small Package (1:31).
1. Soma Takao defeated Gota Ihashi with a Diving Foot Stomp (5:13).
2. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Takeshita pinned Nira with the Touchdown (10:27).
3. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated MIKAMI & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Backslide Pin (9:36).
4. Kikutaro defeated Guanchulo with the Shining Kikuzard (14:31).
5. Lucha Libre Rules: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki pinned Hirata after the PK Mind.
*Daisuke Sasaki wins Kazuki Hirata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
6. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ishii pinned Honda with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (10:40).
7. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Akito when KUDO pinned Oishi with the Buzzsaw Kick (13:55).

After scoring the pin in the main event, KUDO called out for any of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract holders to come out and challenge him. When none of them came out he then turned his attention to his next confirmed challenger Akito and talked about their upcoming match KO-D Openweight Title match. Akito told him it was going to be a war and he is the future of DDT.

Keisuke Ishii is utterly focused on getting an All Asia Tag Team Title shot. He yelled out “Akiyama!” before he delivered an Exploder Suplex to Tomomitsu Matsunaga in their tag match. He and Shigehiro Irie also have a new double team move called the Go 2 Irie Sleep. It involves Ishii lifting up his opponent in the Go 2 Sleep position while Irie kneels down beside them. Ishii then throws the victim face first into Irie’s head. After the match Ishii showed a video of himself confronting Jun Akiyama and Yoshinobu Kanemaru demanding a title shot. Both of them rejected the challenge and walked off. The video then showed Ishii approaching Akiyama in a public toilet only for Akiyama to yell at him “I’m pissing, go away!” Back in the building Ishii said he will got to Akiyama’s dojo to ask again and he will record the meeting to show at next week’s show in Kawasaki.

With the Monster Army disbanded both Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda decided it was time for a fresh start. Sasaki asked if he could team with the Golden Lovers (but not with Gota Ihashi). Both Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega said he could but they were then interrupted by Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Takagi challenged them to a Lucha Libre 6-Man Tag match. Sasaki worked well with the Golden Lovers, he even pulled off the PK Mind with Omega to win the match. Amon Tsurumi granted the new trio a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot for the 12th April Kasukabe Hall show. Omega said he was reluctant to have Sasaki on his team instead of Ihashi but admitted they were a powerful team regardless.

Guanchulo cashed in his Right To Face Your Favourite Wrestler Contract to get a match with Kikutaro before he returns to Chile on 28th May. Kikutaro used his tricks to get Yukinori Matsui involved in the match and they proved to be the deciding factor. Afterwards Kikutaro thanked Guanchulo for choosing him to be his opponent.  Danshoku Dino announced the return of Danshoku Ranch Classic will happen on 20th May and it will be a farewell show for Guanchulo. He will also put his DDT Extreme Title on the line against Guanchulo in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

The DDT trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake pleaded with Amon Tsurumi to let them have another exhibition match. They were both unhappy that their bout at “JUDGEMENT 2014” ended in a draw. Miyatake also wants to prove he is ready to debut properly. Tsurumi allowed the match to happen with the stipulation that Miyatake will earn his debut match if he wins. Miyatake wasn’t able to capitalise on his oppotunity and lost to Katsumata in 91 seconds.

HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano will continue to team together under the name UraShima. They are willing to team with other wrestlers but have no plans to recruit a third member.

The final turned out to be a preview for the 13th April main event as Kota Ibushi and Konosuke Takeshita took each other on, with Ibushi winning. Takeshita told Ibushi he beat his right arm but his left arm is stronger.

After losing his Right To Challenge Contract earlier in the night, Kazuki Hirata quickly replaced it with Masa Takanashi’s contract after he pinned him in a 10-Man Tag match. Hirata spent the night wearing a Magnum TOKYO mask in between his matches.

The night ended with a performance of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics by Antonio Honda.

When Ken Ohka told him that one of his opponents is Osochin Aries, Yumehito asked if he meant Austin Aries from TNA.

Gorikiko approached Ohka and Imanari asking to join the war between Ganbare☆Wrestling and Union. Naturally she will be pitted against Cherry. She admits Cherry would beat her in a normal wrestling match so she instead challenges her to a Judo Jacket Match. Gorikiko has trained in Judo so she will have the advantage in this situation.

Somebody named Dr. Kiriko will also be on the card.

March 21, 2014

5d. Right To Fight Favourite Wrestler: Guanchulo (13:46).
5e. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4: Super Sasadango Machine (15:38).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO defeated HARASHIMA (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (19:54).
*HARASHIMA fails in V7. KUDO becomes the 47th KO-D Openweight Champion!

DDT celebrates its 17th Anniversary with a new KO-D Openweight Champion! After seven months of dominating the main event scene, HARASHIMA was finally knocked off his throne by his former ally KUDO. The new champion gloated about how his win was the result of him leaving UraShimaKudo and he would wait for a rematch anytime. HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano glared at KUDO but both left. With the former champion out of the way, KUDO now has a whole host of new challengers ahead.

The annual free for all that is the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal returned with six prizes on the line. A KO-D Title shot at Korakuen Hall on 29th April was the prize to the winner of the Royal Rumble portion of the match. The other portion was a Ladder Match with five contracts hanging above the ring, four of them with smiley faces and one with a skull on it. Tetsuya Endo, Masa Takanashi, Kazuki Hirata and Super Sasadango Machine each grabbed a smiley face contract, giving them a KO-D Title shot whenever they want. Guanchulo got the skull contract which turned out to be the right to challenge his favourite wrestler to a match. Akito last eliminated Konosuke Takeshita to win the Rumble match and get next month’s title shot. At the end of the show Akito told KUDO that there will be no more HARASHIMA’s challenging him because he will win the belt. The current generation on top in DDT will not last forever and he is here to be the future.

Guanchulo cashed in his contract and decided to have a match with Kikutaro. The match will take place on 29th March. The other contracts can be cashed in at any show until 2nd August. But just like last year, contracts can change hands if the holder is pinned or submitted in any match held inside Japan. Amon asked if anyone was going to cash in their contract before the April Korakuen show. Endo said he wants to cherish the contract because it’s his first time, so he will not cash it in yet. Sasadango also declined because he wants to train for his title match. Takanashi said he will not betray his “big brother” and will not challenge KUDO. Hirata was the only person who said he will cash in his contract at Korakuen next month.

Retired DDT wrestler Atsuo Sawada was a guest at the show and spoke about the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title that he originally created 14 years ago. He said it was amazing that the championship is close to crowning its 1,000th champion. The 999th champion Sanshiro Takagi knew all too well about this since he was chased by Gorgeous Matsuno and Gota Ihashi throughout the show. During his speech celebrating DDT’s 17th Anniversary, Takagi announced he was sealing the Iron Man Title. Takagi said 999 was a nice number for the title lineage to end and he was also sick of wrestlers constantly attacking him. Sawada protested because he created the title to be defended all the time and to be won by any wrestler or thing. Takagi tried to convince Sawada to accept the decision by comparing the number of title reigns to Galaxy Express 999 but eventually gave up. Amon Tsurumi then announced that the title will be defended in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

Despite losing all three matches in their trial series, Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga finally impressed Amon Tsurumi with their performance. Their KO-D Tag Team Title defeat to the Golden Lovers got Tsurumi to say “Michael & Matsunaga did real good!” Kota Ibushi called both wrestlers strong in the post-match interview but he and Kenny Omega also pointed out that there are no immediate challengers for them to face next.

The Monster Army had its final battle and for the occasion Antonio Honda asked the opposing team if they could drop their guard so the entire Army could do a surprise attack one more time. After the match Honda said the unit will live on in his breast. His nipple to be exact.

Keisuke Ishii has been left feeling depressed after he and Soma Takao failed to win the All Asia Tag Team Titles in All Japan last Tuesday. That match was Ishii’s second chance to win the belts and he came up short again. He considered giving up the challenge and no longer chase after the belts. Amon Tsurumi encouraged Ishii to not give up and if Ishii couldn’t win the belts with Takao then he should try again with Shigehiro Irie. He instructed Ishii to record a video of himself asking for another title match and to send the video to Jun Akiyama.

New trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake fought to a five minute draw in a pre-show exhibition. Afterwards Tsurumi announced that Katsumata will have his debut wrestling match on the next Korakuen show on 29th April. Miyatake asked when he was going to debut. Amon was surprised by the question and told Miyatake that he is 100 years too early to even talk about having a debut.

DDT will get a new show on Samurai! TV soon. The show is called DDT Wrestling Banzai ＼(^o^)／.

March 18, 2014

shuten-doji

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN OYAMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOCHIOTOME~”, 16/03/2014
Oyama Municipal Cultural Centre Small Hall
226 Fans – No Vacancy

0. Exhibition Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Shun Miyatake with an Elevated Crab Hold (7:29).
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Lucha Libre Rules: Sanshiro Takagi (c) & Toru Owashi defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Takagi pinned Honda with La Magistral Cradle (8:58).
*V1 for Sanshiro Takagi.
2. Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Kota Ibushi & MIKAMI when Matsunaga pinned MIKAMI with a Ground Cobra Twist (8:53).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi whn Takao pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (11:06).
4. Shigehiro Irie defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Beast Bomber (10:34).
5. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito when KUDO pinned Urano with the Backspin Kick (17:44).

The card got a minor reshuffle when Gota Ihashi suffered a sudden fever and had to be pulled off the show. MIKAMI took his place in the tag team match with Kota Ibushi against Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. MIKAMI’s original opponent Kazuki Hirata got to face trainee Shun Miyatake in an exhibition bout. Amon Tsurumi was impressed with the trainee’s performance and told him he will have another exhibition match on the 21st March Korakuen Hall show.

Shigehiro Irie has added the Axe Bomber to his repertoire. He calls it the Beast Bomber.

A few days before their All Asia Tag Team Title match in All Japan, the Drift team of Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao faced Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. Dino made fun of his opponents’ title match by saying it was a small match. Dino & Oishi announced they have a new double team move they call the Anal Dunk. They also claim to have championships that are more important than the All Asia belts. They have the Interim Eurasia Tag Team Championships! Ishii & Takao no sold their claim and attacked them to start the match. Dino & Oishi used the Anal Dunk, which involves Dino lying on his stomach with his rear end exposed and Oishi slamming the victim’s head into Dino’s ass. Ishii & Takao survived the Anal Dunk and were able to win the match. Dino & Oishi now allowed them to challenge for the All Asia Tag Titles.

Nakazawa & Matsunaga got the surprise win over Ibushi & MIKAMI. They requested for their match against the Golden Lovers on 21/3 to be for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Tsurumi begrudgingly made it so.

The Lucha Libre war between Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi and the Monster Army continues. This time Guanchulo’s friend Anarko Montaña got involved as the referee for the match. Both teams attempted to wrestle Llave style while yelling “Viva Mexico!” Takagi once again won with La Magistral Cradle.

6. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (14:39).

KUDO, Masa Takanashi and Yukio Sakaguchi announced the name of their new unit. They are now called Shuten-dōji, named after a Japanese legend who had a thirst for sake. DJ Nira actually came up with the name while drunk. Unfortunately for them their first match under the new name ended in defeat. HARASHIMA and KUDO had a staredown after the match and both teams stepped in to seperate them.

For the last month Soma Takao has gotten the better of Danshoku Dino, highlighted by Takao pinning Dino to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as part of Team Drift. Dino was finally able to get one back and beat Takao in Singles action.

Sanshiro Takagi and Antonio Honda fought in an Infomercial Match that will be aired on Teletama next month. They had to promote Blackout Energy Drink by drinking cans of the product as they wrestled each other. Fans were also given signs advertising the drink to hold during the match. In a sight similar to Stone Cold’s beer bashes, Takagi made Honda spit out the drink with a Stunner and after the match celebrated by smashing cans together and pouring them into his mouth.

The night did not end there for Takagi. He also became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. What makes it special is he became the 999th champion. Kazuki Hirata came to the show as champion but was attacked and pinned backstage by Daisuke Sasaki. Hirata came out at the start of the show demanding Sasaki give the belt back. The Battle Royal began and the belt changed hands from Sasaki to DJ Nira to Makoto Oishi and then back to Hirata who went on to win the match. Hirata reappeared later in the show to brag about winning back the title, even saying “If you smell what Hirata is cookin’!” Takagi snuck into the ring, grabbed the belt, struck Hirata with it and pinned him to win the title. Takagi said he wanted to be the 999th champion and will hold the title forever so nobody can become the 1000th champion!

Dick Togo made an appearance to announce he has moved to Vietnam and will open up a wrestling school there.
