Danshoku Dieno then got his hands on him and Okano submitted the title to him in order to get away.

6. Eruption Vs DAMNATION!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie when Higuchi pinned Paulie with the Brain Claw Slam (13:04).
7. PIONEER NEXT Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Hideki Okatani defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Okada pinned Katsumata with the Sudden Death (20:56).

It was an eventful return home for Jun Akiyama. First of all, believe it or not this was the first time Akiyama had a homecoming match in Izumi City. Ever! Before the main event Junretsu were presented with bouquets from his alma mater’s wrestling club and also from the president of the match sponsor PIONEER NEXT. That president also happens to be Hiroyuki Akiyama, Jun’s younger brother. Akiyama’s team came out on top against THE 37KAMIINA despite Konosuke Takeshita claiming his shoulder is in great shape again. Hideki Okatani took out MAO with the Running Neckbreaker. Akiyama & Yusuke Okada gave Shunma Katsumata a Back Drop/Diving Neckbreaker double team move. Akiyama followed up with the Exploder Suplex and tagged in Okada. Katsumata still had fight left in him and wouldn’t be pinned. Okada declined tagging Akiyama back in and was eventually able to win by himself with the Sudden Death.

After the match Okada explained to Akiyama that he taught him never to read the room while wrestling, which is why he never tagged him back in. Akiyama corrected Okada and said you’re supposed to read the room! He never told him to do the opposite! Okada’s excuse is he misheard him. He then asked Akiyama about something serious. Makoto Oishi, the leader of Junretsu, has been forced to take a long break due to injury. Okada is not a member of Junretsu despite always hanging around Akiyama and the rest of the unit. It was Oishi who first welcomed him to DDT and if he is no longer around, then Okada wants to protect Junretsu for him. So today Yusuke Okada is asking to join Junretsu! Not only that but he also wants to team with Akiyama to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 15th August! Akiyama asked for the audience’s opinion and agreed when they gave a positive response.

Eruption got one over DAMNATION in a preview of the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Yuji Hino posed with his title belt to provoke Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi. He did so again even after Higuchi pinned Mad Paulie to end the match in Eruption’s favour. Backstage Hino blamed the loss on the sake his drank before the match.

For a brief moment, Yuki Ueno had the DDT Universal Title belt given back to him by staff after his match. Unfortunately Daisuke Sasaki gave him a Low Blow and stole the belt again. Even Sasaki admitted that he is a shameless belt thief.

Kazuki Hirata instantly went for the kill against Tetsuya Endo but a Lariat ended his hopes pretty quickly. He asked for a rematch but with special rules to even the odds. In the rematch, Hirata only has to pin Endo for a 2 Count to win but Endo needs to pin Hirata for a 4 Count. Endo agreed and made Hirata submit to a Cross Armbreaker after the restart.

Yukinori Matsui announced he will be producing a show in Abeno Ward Center, Osaka on 17th October.

6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Two shows in, two shows to go for the opening round rush of the Tokyo Princess Cup. The big story seems to be Mizuki having a target on her back with both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh wanting to be the ones to eliminate her. If Yamashita and Mizuki both win tomorrow then they face each other in the Quarter Final. That’s if Mirai Maiumi doesn’t deliver the Miramare Shock she is always promising first. Yuki Kamifuku recently got her motorbike license so her dream of winning the tournament and being gifted with a prize bike is as strong as ever. Haruna Neko won a non-tournament 3 Way match today but can she pull it off against Yuki Aino in the Cup tomorrow?

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2021 TOUR IN NAGOYA” Results

July 23, 2021

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2021 TOUR IN NAGOYA”, 23/07/2021
Nagoya City Tsuyuhashi Sports Center
168 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. No DQ Match: Antonio Honda Vs Yuki Iino ended in a No Contest (12:34).
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs The Intelligent Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 ended in a No Contest (3:49).
2a. Urgent Decision 1st Match Vs 2nd Match: Antonio Honda & Yuki Iino Vs Danshoku Dieno & The Intelligent Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 ended in a No Contest (7:59).
3. Toru Owashi, Akito & Yukio Naya defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Saki Akai & Kazuki Hirata when Akito pinned Hirata after the Quetzalcoatl from Akai (11:17).
4. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Chris Brookes defeated Soma Takao, Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie when HARASHIMA pinned Paulie with the Somato (14:56).
5. Nagoya Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Hideki Okatani defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuya Koroku when Okada pinned Koroku with the Sudden Death (14:06).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION!: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo when Ueno pinned Endo with the WR (19:51).

Yuki Ueno got a measure of revenge by pinning Daisuke Sasaki in the main event. However he was too polite for his own good and his request for Sasaki to hand him back the DDT Universal Title was ignored. DAMNATION left ringside with Sasaki still holding the belt. Ueno didn’t let that bother him and he promised to take the belt back on 21st August.

We’re still a month away from “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2021” but Konosuke Takeshita is already showing signs of wear and tear. He had his shoulder taped up for his latest match against Jun Akiyama. On a lighter note, Yuya Koroku is still trying to fit in with The 37KAMIINA by doing their sauna pose. Yusuke Okada also did his part filling in for the injured Makoto Oishi.

Eruption looked a little bit different today. Yukio Sakaguchi wasn’t there so Kazuki Hirata saw an opportunity to take his place. He dressed like Sakaguchi and tried to fight like him too. But the temptation to use the Hirata GO! glasses was too much to handle and he wore them to dance. Saki Akai got fed up and gave him the Quetzalcoatl, leaving the other team to pick up the pieces and take the win.

The wrestlers in the first two matches all decided for themselves to do the match they want to do. So both Antonio Honda Vs Yuki Iino and Danshoku Dieno Vs The Intelligent Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 never ended and we got Honda & Iino against Dieno & Passion Mask instead. Unfortunately they also all wanted to wrestle in their underwear so the impromptu match was called off after Passion Mask was stripped of both his mask and his underwear.

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo

Makoto Oishi was diagnosed with a fractured lumbar vertebrae after sustaining a back injury on Sunday’s show. There is no timeline for his return yet. Yusuke Okada has offered to take Oishi’s place for this Thursday’s 6-Man Tag match. He is not joining Junretsu but owes this debt to help Oishi because he was the first person in DDT to accept him.

Okada’s move up the card causes a few changes to other matches. Toru Owashi replaces Okada in Match #5. The 3 Way Match Owashi was a part of is now just a singles match between Danshoku Dieno and The Intelligent Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4.

Okada was already teaming with Junretsu in the main event. It’s Hideki Okatani that will fill in for the injured Oishi.

The Eruption Vs DAMNATION match means a little bit more now that it is a tune up for the upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles bout.

Oishi Injury Update, Kohei Replaces Shuji, Akai Goes Ahead With DAMNATION Challenge

July 19, 2021

Makoto Oishi tweeted about his back injury he suffered during yesterday’s match. He is currently under examinations at a hospital in Shiroishi. He said he feels sore but doesn’t have any numbness in his back. Other than that he’s just waiting for updates at this point. DDT themselves haven’t said anything about it yet.

However he is taking the safe option and has pulled out of the show just in case something goes wrong. Kohei Sato takes his place in Mad Paulie’s big bash.

4. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Saki Akai is taking the initiative and challenged DAMNATION for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! The concern coming from the rest of Eruption is whether or not Akai is ready to face the powerful trio of Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino. Endo in particular is riding a high as the tourist ambassador of Shiroishi City banishing everyone he beats from his hometown. There are no actual stipulations preventing those wrestlers from visiting that place again but nobody can convince Endo otherwise. Akai isn’t afraid of the mighty task ahead of her. She sees Eruption and DAMNATION as the two strongest groups in DDT so the match must happen to see who is best!

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino (c) defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Endo pinned MAO with the Shooting Star Press (24:41).
*V2 for DAMNATION.

Today Tetsuya Endo was fighting for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles, for DAMNATION and most importantly of all for the pride of Shiroishi City! The match came down to him and MAO fighting on the top turnbuckles. MAO tried to set up the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II. Endo instead hit the Tetsuya In The Sky With Diamonds for a nearfall. Endo then did the Shooting Star Press for the three count. The tourist ambassador for Shiroishi wins in his hometown!

While Endo bragged about “banishing” The 37KAMIINA from Shiroishi, Eruption entered the ring led by Saki Akai. She challenged DAMNATION for the 6-Man Tag Titles to determine which unit is the best. Endo would accept on the condition that Eruption can never step foot in Shiroishi again if they lose. Yuji Hino was confused to see a woman challenge him but Endo liked the challenge and accepted it. Hisaya Imabayashi decided the title match will take place at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2021”!

The pairing of Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda was a mini Happy Motels reunion. Honda worked over Makoto Oishi with a Cobra Twist. Takeshita then caused great damage to Oishi after he threw him away from a Tornado DDT attempt. Oishi was in bad shape from that point onwards and remained lying on the apron after he tagged out to Jun Akiyama. Honda missed the Gongitsune and hit Takeshita by accident. Akiyama then cleaned things up and pinned Hona with the Exploder. Oishi seemed to have an injured back coming out of the match and had to leave ringside on a stretcher.

Akito & Kazuki Hirata entered their match wearing their own Danshoku Dieno wrestling costumes. They later ditched the costumes and danced wearing Hirata GO! glasses. That lowered their guard for Dieno & Yuki Iino to make their comeback and win.

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION!: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie when Ueno pinned Paulie with the BME (20:07).

In a slight reversal of recent fortunes, Yuki Ueno picked up the win in the main event. However, Daisuke Sasaki got away with the DDT Universal Title still in his possession. Ueno promised to get his belt back and also promised The 37KAMIINA will beat DAMNATION for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles tomorrow. Backstage Shunma Katsumata said the unit will show they can get results without needing Konosuke Takeshita on their team. MAO said he will embarrass Tetsuya Endo in his own hometown. When Endo later heard that, his message to MAO was to not say Shiraishi City’s name without his permission! DAMNATION will win and make sure The 37KAMIINA will never step foot in Shiraishi ever again!

Antonio Honda’s antics were enough to convince Tetsuya Endo to join in the fun and do his own Honda mannerisms.

Yukio Naya showed up at the start of the show complaining about being left off the card. When Match #2 took place, Demonio Uno went out of control attacking everybody and forced the match to get cancelled. The mascot Pokotan appeared for the first time in ages to stop him and the match restarted as a 4 Vs 1 Handicap match. Uno couldn’t handle being outnumbered and was unmasked reveal it was Naya all along!
