DDT “DNA 17”, 09/06/2016
Kitasenju Theatre 1010
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yasu Urano defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with the Tombstone Piledriver (12:01).
2. Eddie French defeated Rekka with a Modified STF (7:29).
3. KENSO defeated Rainbow Kawamura with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:54).
4. Guanchulo defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Seijo Scratch (10:06).
5. Daiki Shimomura Return Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Swan Dive X Factor (10:24).
6. Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda defeated Mao Inoue & Mizuki Watase when Umeda pinned Watase with a Right High Kick (16:50).

The main event pitted two classes of DNA students against each other. Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda were here from the start while Mao Inoue & Mizuki Watase debuted for DNA around 9 months later. Higuchi was amazed by the progress Inoue & Watase have made since then. Umeda switched his attention towards KENSO. In no friendly terms, Umeda called KENSO to come down to the ring. Higuchi calmed down the situation by suggesting Umeda and KENSO to have a match on 1st July. KENSO accepted and left the ring. Umeda swore a lot and said he has to beat KENSO next month.

After spending three months on the shelf with an injury, Daiki Shimomura had his comeback match with Shunma Katsumata. From the beginning he was in danger when Katsumata knocked him out of the ring and prepared to do a Quebrada. Shimomura grabbed Katsumata’s leg before he jumped and pulled him out of the ring. Katsumata was later able to hit the Quebrada and put Shimomura away with the Lightning Spiral followed by the Swan Dive X Factor.

KENSO didn’t think much of Rainbow Kawamura. He told Kawamura that his entrance was long and boring. During the match they both shouted “Dondake!” at each other after every move, which is some sort of slang way of saying “what the hell?”. KENSO took control and beat Kawamura with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster.

It was announced Big Japan and DDT will host a joint charity show in Kumamoto in aid of the reconstruction efforts after April’s earthquake. The show will be free to attend. Kumamoto’s own Kota Umeda will be wrestling on the show.

DDT “DNA 16” Results

May 11, 2016

umedadriver1

DDT “DNA 16”, 11/05/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall
225 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Tatsumi Tsukamoto defeated Rekka with a Grounded Manjigatame (8:27).
2. Makoto Oishi defeated Rainbow Kawamura with the Miracle Ecstasy (8:04).
3. KENSO defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Diving Elbow Drop (10:56).
4. Jiro Kuroshio defeated Mizuki Watase with an Arm Lock (10:32).
5. Team Drift Goodbye Series: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Guanchulo & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Ishii submitted Shimatani with a Half Crab Hold (14:22).
6. Kota Umeda defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Umeda Driver I (16:55).

He was gone for a month but Kota Umeda came back wanting to fight and live the pro wrestling life. Umeda was absent because he wanted to protect his relatives in Kumamoto after last month’s earthquake. In the main event against Shunma Katsumata he had to deal with his ring rust quickly because his opponent wasn’t going to take it easy on him. The match quickly went outside where Umeda missed Katsumata and kicked the ring post instead. Back inside Umeda avoided the Nebula Storm, hit a High Kick and pinned Katsumata with the Umeda Driver I. Umeda shook hands with Katsumata afterwards. Umeda said there isn’t enough wrestlers in DNA and that the place is more interesting with himself on top.

A nervous Nobuhiro Shimatani had to take Mao Inoue’s spot in the match against Team Drift after Inoue got injured. Keisuke Ishii bent him backwards with a nasty looking Half Crab Hold to win the match. Shimatani admitted he was scared from the pressure. Kazusada Higuchi was frustrated from losing to Drift again but was also encouraged by Umeda and Katsumata’s performance in the main event.

Kouki Iwasaki tried to stand up for DNA against KENSO but was handily defeated by the veteran. KENSO was left standing in the ring disappointed. Was this the best DNA had to offer? He challenged anyone from DNA to prove him wrong. Rainbow Kawamura answered the call. He’s never wrestled in America or Mexico but he’s been to Shinjuku and got the stuff to beat KENSO! Their match takes place on 9th June.

Daiki Shimomura will return to action on the 9th June show. The rookie was injured in his debut match back in March.

Daisuke Sasaki’s New Pet, Team Drift Goodbye Series, Heaven Summit Begins

April 26, 2016

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SPRING~”, 29/04/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Rekka
1. Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Guanchulo Vs KENSO, Hiroshi Fukuda & Eddie French

6. Daisuke Sasaki & Daisuke Sasaki’s New Pet Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

The new KO-D Openweight Champion has a busy schedule ahead of him. Daisuke Sasaki now has two championships to defend and his “pet” Shuji Ishikawa won’t be there to protect him all the time. To remedy this Sasaki got himself a second “pet” to guard him from the other Right To Challenge Contract holders. All Sasaki has said about his new pet is it’s cute and he thinks it’s male. He’s unsure if he will obtain any more pets after this one because he’s running out of space in his home.

After three years and nine months as a unit, Team Drift have decided to split after their latest failed attempt to chase after a championship. Keisuke Ishii feels that Drift have stagnated as a team. Shigehiro Irie said he now feels lonely after the decision but he has to face reality. Soma Takao thinks he needs to take this chance to grow after he failed to win anything in the Right To Challenge Rumble at “JUDGEMENT 2016”. Their final match as a unit will take place on 29th May but until then they will have a farewell series of matches on DDT shows. Ken Ohka demanded to be inserted into one of Drift’s final matches when he found out about their dissolution. He’s even willing to reform #OhkaEmpire for the occasion.

2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Akito & Yasu Urano

Smile Squash wants to avenge HARASHIMA by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Sasaki & Ishikawa. They are on a roll and take credit for Team Drift disbanding. They also believe to know the champions’ weakness. Although Sasaki & Ishikawa are both strong as individuals, their stamina does not match. Smile Squash thinks that Ishikawa’s large size is actually his weakness because he sweats a lot! If they can tire out Ishikawa and leave him in a dehydrated state they can then beat Sasaki and win the titles.
