6. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (16:47).

Shigehiro Irie shook hands with Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie after their match. Sasaki even wished Irie luck on his upcoming trip to America. Irie now has only one match left in DDT before he leaves.

Keisuke Ishii is not pleased with Soma Takao challenging for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Ishii thinks nobody has a stronger desire to win that championship than himself. He refuses to acknowledge Takao’s challenge and declared he will get a title shot instead.

KENSO attacked Kazuki Hirata during his dance before Match #2. He argued with the noisy fans for cheering Hirata then put on his own pair of HIRATA GO! glasses. He danced with Hirata and then pinned him with a Brainbuster. He complained to Amon Tsurumi after the match about having to team with Sanshiro Takagi on 17th July. He found out about the match while his wife was making him tom yum soup and it ruined his dinner. Tsurumi responded by suggesting KENSO might be in love with Takagi. All he ever talks about is coming to DDT so he can fight Takagi. He asked KENSO to put his hand on his chest and tell everyone how he truly feels. KENSO thought about it, yelled “Bakayaro!” and stormed off.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 12” Results

July 9, 2016

endo-takeshita-confrontation

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 12”, 09/07/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
360 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari (c) with a Cobra Twist (2:40).
*D2 for Yumehito Imanari.
1. Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Gota Ihashi when MAO pinned Ihashi with the Cannonball 450° (8:49).
2. When Case Take Anywhere! Owashi Siege Encirclement! 4 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Masa Takanashi, Yasu Urano and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Owashi pinned Matsunaga with La Magistral Cradle (7:31).
3. Infomercial Match – Dramatic Exercise Series: Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai defeated Super Sasadango Machine & Mizuki Watase when Hirata pinned Machine with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:47).
4. DAMNATION’s First Trio Match Stomping!: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Guanchulo when Paulie pinned Guanchulo with the Paulie Buster (9:44).
5. Akito Comeback Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when HARASHIMA pinned Umeda with the Somato (11:01).
6. Soma Takao defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Gin And Tonic (14:43).
7. Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when Endo pinned Honda with the Sky Twister Press (13:20).

Both Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo didn’t want to stick around after the main event. Takeshita returned to the ring to give an end of show speech. He doesn’t like losing when he is supposed to be the champion but he feels prepared for Endo on 17th July.

Soma Takao is on a hot streak and has been on one since the break up of Team Drift. He now has single wins over both of his former partners Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie. Both Takao and Irie were determined to win the match, both of them yelled that they weren’t going to lose as they traded strikes. Takao now has a big goal ahead of him. He wants to win the AJPW J.r Heavyweight Title!

Akito said it felt so long since he was in the ring even though he was only gone for a month. A lot has happened from Endo becoming the No. 1 Contender to Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa losing the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He was even caught off guard by HARASHIMA and Yuko Miyamoto forming Smile Yankee.

The Infomercial Match was used to promote the Dramatic Exercise Series of workout equipment. Super Sasadango Machine produced a PowerPoint project called “Discussion of the Effectiveness of the Exercise Equipment in Combat Martial Arts”. The presentation included pictures of Mizuki Watase working out nude with the equipment. It also revealed that Kazuki Hirata had not used the power ball yet even though it is his own official product. Sasadango’s battle plan was for Watase to grab Saki Akai’s stretch pole and bash it over Hirata’s head. Then when they win they can become the new faces of the brand. The plan didn’t work.

Toru Owashi thought he found himself a new ally in his quest to cash in his Right To Challenge contract. Masa Takanashi said he was going to protect Owashi in the 4 Way Match because they have been good friends for over 15 years and he wants to see Owashi relive his dominant days from the past. But it was all a ruse! Takanashi betrayed Owashi late in the match and joined a 3-on-1 attack. He and Tomomitsu Matsunaga began arguing and that allowed Owashi to retaliate and pin Matsunaga with La Magistral Cradle. After the match Owashi told the fans he will continue to defend the contract until Sumo Hall.

Before the opening match took place Danshoku Dino approached Keisuke Ishii in the locker room to talk about the upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title tournament. Dino wants to enter the tournament but his friends are already in other teams. Dino and Ishii were both members of Belt Hunter X Hunter in 2010 so maybe they could form their own group. Ishii likes the idea and so does Gota Ihashi, who wasn’t part of the conversation until then. However during their match with NωA, Dino and Ishii argued over who should be the leader. The distraction caused them to lose the match when Ihashi was pinned. Dino and Ishii still want the group to go ahead and enter the tournament but without Ihashi. Dino apologised to him.

Yumehito Imanari interrupted the opening announcements demanding a King Of Dark Title match. He said he’s been losing sleep ever since he won the title because he never knows when his next match will happen. All members of DAMNATION came out and approached Imanari. Daisuke Sasaki flipped a coin to decided who from the group will be in the match. Shuji Ishikawa won the toss and easily won the match.

After intermission Amon Tsurumi introduced everyone to three members of Macho29, a group of male bodybuilder idols who are abstinent, don’t smoke, avoid violence and only drink protein. The three members are Koala Koarashi, Saiyaman Great and Ueda Chisei. They announced they will perform at “DDT FES 2016” in November. Makoto Oishi confronted the three and complained to Tsurumi about NωA possibly being left off the show. He backed off when he found out Macho29 has over 50,000 followers on Twitter. NωA only has around 1,000.

The vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship will crown new champions later this month. Smile Squash, Shuten-dōji, Happy Motels, T2Hide, DAMNTION, NωA and two more teams will compete in a tournament beginning on 23rd July with the final on 6th August.

Masa Takanashi is turning over a new leaf and will soon wrestle under his real name Masahiro Takanashi. The name change will take effect on 17th July and he will use a new theme song aswell. He says nothing new will happen to him if he does not change.

DDT will hold their annual street wrestling match at the HandMade In Japan Festival on 24th July. It will be a 3 Way Tag Falls Count Anywhere Match between Sanshiro Takagi & MAO Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Soma Takao & Kota Umeda.

Canadian wrestler “Speedball” Mike Bailey will tour DDT in August. His first match takes place at the 1st August Tavern Wrestling show. He will also be at “PETER PAN 2016”.

Takeshita Vs Endo, DDT Shilling Stuff, Takagi & KENSO Team (What Could Go Wrong?)

July 5, 2016

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 12”, 09/07/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. When Case Take Anywhere! Owashi Siege Encirclement! 4 Way Match: Toru Owashi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Yasu Urano Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Gota Ihashi Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
3. DAMNATION’s First Trio Match Stomping!: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Guanchulo
4. Shigehiro Irie Vs Soma Takao
5. Infomercial Match – Dramatic Exercise Series: Super Sasadango Machine & Mizuki Watase Vs Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai
6. Akito Comeback Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
7. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda Vs Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

The emergence of Tetsuya Endo challenging Konosuke Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Title has created a small rift in Happy Motels for now. Antonio Honda is siding with Takeshita while Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is siding with Endo. This leads to a tag team match between the two teams in Saitama.

DDT is using the Infomercial Match to shill their own exercise equipment. Kazuki Hirata & Saka Akai are two of the faces of the Dramatic Exercise Series brand.

With only two Right To Challenge Contracts left in play and one of them soon to be cashed in, Toru Owashi is now a targeted man. He’s been very patient when it comes to getting his title shot but with every upcoming match he risks losing that chance.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN MAEBASHI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TONTON~”, 10/07/2016
Maebashi Green Dome Sub Arena

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Soma Takao Vs Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito & Nobuhiro Shimatani

3. Tetsuya Endo & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Keisuke Ishii & Guanchulo
4. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie
5. Grudge Settlement! Avenge Kawaguchi In Maebashi! Maebashi Specialty Special Single Match: KENSO Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

KENSO still has beef with Sanshiro Takagi and that will be sorted out later. But he also has Kazuki Hirata bothering him. Will he swat him aside or fall under Hirata’s dancing spell?

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016”, 17/07/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Soma Takao & Akito Vs Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda
2. Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Gota Ihashi, Guanchulo & Cherry
3. DAMNATION Vs NωA: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
4. That’s Breaking The Rut! Saihai Of Super Talented GM Amon Tsurumi! Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Mizuki Watase
5. Shigehiro Irie Send-off Match: Shigehiro Irie & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Keisuke Ishii
6. Dick Togo Return Second Leg! Special Tag Match: Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
*Tetsuya Endo will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Amon Tsurumi has kept an eye over the feud between Sanshiro Takagi and KENSO this year and decided to do something about it. Both wrestlers have been on a rut in DDT so Tsurumi came up with the bright idea of making them team together to break that rut.

DDT “DNA 19”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda

The fight is on to determine who the top wrestler of DNA really is. Kota Umeda has gained a new fire ever since he came back from his recent absence.

DDT “PETER PAN 2016 ~MOST HOT SUMMER IN THE WORLD~”, 28/08/2016
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Terry Funk, Sanshiro Takagi & NOSAWA Rongai Vs Great Kabuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
2. DDT Extreme Title: LiLiCo (c) Vs Danshoku Dino
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka & KAI (c) Vs X & X
4. KO-D Openweight Title – Watase Contra Watase: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The winner of LiLiCo Vs Danshoku Dino not only gets the DDT Extreme Title but also Mizuki Watase. The loser can never touch Watase ever again. That would put a dent on his relationship with LiLiCo for sure!

*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita. Yuko Miyamoto cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

takeshita-beats-miyamoto

There is a lot to talk about concerning the KO-D Openweight Title after today’s show. Konosuke Takeshita went into his title defence against Yuko Miyamoto with only Antonio Honda in his corner. His usual tag partner Tetsuya Endo was absent from ringside after he earlier won a Right To Challenge Contract. Miyamoto handed in his own RTC contract to officially begin the title match. Miyamoto locked in the Manji Cobra and also hit the Fire Thunder and Moonsault but none of those moves could win him the match. Takeshita countered La Magistral Cradle into a Roll Through German Suplex to mark a successful defence.

endo-challenges-takeshita

Takeshita said he enjoyed wrestling Miyamoto and a win over him increases the value of the KO-D Title. He would be happy to wrestle him again numerous times. But now it was time to look to the future. He thought his next title defence will be at Sumo Hall this August. However Endo finally reappeared with his newly won RTC contract. He told “Bamboo-chan” that for two months he’s been happy to see his friend as the KO-D Champion. But from the bottom of his heart it has also been frustrating because he also wants to be the champion! Endo is using his contract for a title match in Korakuen Hall on 17th July! He said he was never able to surpass Takeshita until now. The atmosphere became so tense that Antonio Honda had to come in and strip down to his underwear to end the show on a lighter note.

damnation

Daisuke Sasaki revealed the official name for his unit at the start of the show. He and his pets Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie are now DAMNATION. Sasaki came up with the name when he asked his English teacher the meaning of that word. He was told it is “the state of being in Hell as punishment after death.” For their first act they threatened to make an example out of Amon Tsurumi. Luckily for the GM, Ken Ohka ran out to save him. He said he didn’t care about “Dumb Nation” and when KAI gets here they would take the KO-D Tag Team Titles from them.

kai-tagwin

KAI did show up and they surprised everyone by becoming the new champions! KAI rolled off of Ishikawa to avoid the Doomsday Device then he and Ohka hit a Double Spear of Flame to both Sasaki & Ishikawa. KAI got the three count with the Splash Plancha. Both KAI & Ohka were reduced to tears as they were presented with the belts. Amon Tsurumi told them they will have to defend the belts at “PETER PAN 2016” on 28th August. KAI said he’s already booked that day. He then got confused and said his scheduled booking is for that very show. Tsurumi asked if he can do the title defence. KAI said no, then yes. Ohka said ever since he and KAI teamed together for the first time, a deep bond grew between them.

endo-wins-rtc

Endo won his RTC contract in a 4 Way Elimination Match, eliminating the previous holder Kazusada Higuchi to win the bout. Mad Paulie and Keisuke Ishii were also in the match with Paulie eliminating Ishii first. Higuchi was planning to declare himself the next KO-D challenger if he had won the match and kept the contract.

togo-return

“Insane In The Membrane” was played through the DDT music system for the first time in five years to mark the return of Dick Togo! This was his first match in Japan since his retirement although he had continued to wrestle part-time in South America. With Honda on his side they were able to beat Yasu Urano & Guanchulo with Togo scoring the pin. Togo said this was the best comeback he could hope for, wrestling with his former students Honda, Urano and Guanchulo. Although he felt like he was wrestling five years slower he thinks it will only take two or three more matches to regain his condition. He now looks forward to wrestling Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki on 17th July. He is determined not to lose to those rookies.

somato-wins

The makeshift team of HARASHIMA, Soma Takao & Azul Dragon were too much for Shuten-dōji to handle. HARASHIMA countered Masa Takanashi’s Takatonic into a Buzzsaw Kick then finished him off with what else? The Somato.

yamashita-triumph

Miyu Yamashita was happy with how her homecoming match turned out. She now wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to run a show in Hakata Star Lane.

kisskiss-bangbang

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a passionate Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Death Match. LiLiCo put the title on the line against Makoto Oishi and both of them had their partners stand in opposite corners of the ring. They had to kiss their partner for five seconds to win the match. Easy for LiLiCo because she was with her boyfriend Mizuki Watase. Not so easy for Oishi because his designated partner was Batten Burabura. Oishi took one for the team and tried to kiss Burabura when he could. At one point the referee was knocked out so Oishi’s long kiss didn’t count for ages. Watase then pulled the referee out of the ring before he counted to 5. He aided LiLiCo in Power Bombing Oishi. The champion then locked in the Manjigatame on Oishi while deeply kissing Watase long enough to win the match.

watase-tugofwar

Amon Tsurumi congratulated LiLiCo for the victory and described her kisses like they were from a movie. He told her Danshoku Dino was now the No. 1 Contender for the title and the match will be at “PETER PAN 2016”. Dino came out and called LiLiCo’s relationship with Watase a publicity stunt. He wants Watase to be with him, not LiLiCo! Dino requested his match with LiLiCo to be a Watase Contra Watase match. The winner gets both the DDT Extreme Title and Mizuki Watase! The loser will be prohibited from even laying a finger on Watase ever again.

dino-setup

In the opening match Danshoku Dino used Kazuki Hirata’s dancing powers against him, kissing him multiple times in tune to the “Go! Go! Go! Go!” parts of his music. Hirata was helpless when Dino gave him the Danshoku Driver.

makiitoh-joshi

Maki Itoh from the idol group LinQ appeared with Miyu Yamashita after the intermission. She announced her intentions to wrestle for Tokyo Joshi Pro this year. Itoh has wrestled before in DDT and wanted an opportunity to become a proper pro wrestler. After discussions between her agency and Sanshiro Takagi she is allowed to train in Tokyo Joshi. She is a fan of Nonoko and eventually wants to wrestle like Cutie Suzuki.

NPO Kumamoto Wrestling, Big Japan and DDT got together for a special charity wrestling event held outside Sun Road New Town Arcade. Donations were collected for relief funds that will go to reconstruction efforts around the area.

Both teams in the main event were gifted with watermelons to encourage their match performances. The hometown hero Kota Umeda received a lot of streamers during his ring announcement. A lot of the match focused on him squaring up to all three of his opponents. However despite his efforts in trying to cut down Yuji Okabayashi with kicks, he was defeated with a Lariat and the Golem Splash. Okayabayshi told the crowd he was delighted to wrestle in Kumamoto again and they have an awesome wrestler in Umeda. Konosuke Takeshita told the story of Umeda going home to protect his friends and family when the earthquake struck. When he came back to DDT he was different, a stronger person. He said that when DDT comes back to Kumamoto there is only one person who should get a KO-D Openweight Title shot and that’s Umeda.

DDT “DNA 18”, 01/07/2016
Kitasenju Theatre 1010
165 Fans

1. Rekka defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Single Leg Crab (7:33).
2. There Is Heart In Your Character! Let This Be Assessed! This Is Not A Special Single Match: Kikutaro defeated Rainbow Kawamura with a School Boy (11:50).

5. Kota Umeda defeated KENSO with a Backslide Pin (16:56).
6. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated MAO & Mizuki Watase when Takeshita pinned Watase with the German Suplex (18:49).

Konosuke Takeshita admitted he was feeling envy over his opponents today. One is now a pop idol and the other is dating LiLiCo. Mizuki Watase said he is approaching the end of his first year as a wrestler and he has yet to win a singles match. He wants to challenge Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Title when he is strong enough. He then remembered MAO is also a year into his career.

Kota Umeda scored an upset in DNA’s honour when he defeated KENSO. Umeda was hotheaded and eager to put a stop to KENSO’s reign of terror but it was still a big challenge. Umeda kepy kicking out of KENSO’s moves, prompting KENSO to try a Superplex. Umeda pushed him off and hit a Diving Elbow Drop. He then ducked a Lariat and hooked KENSO in a Backslide Pin for the win. KENSO protested to the ref that it wasn’t a three count while Umeda celebrated. Umeda then challenged Kazusada Higuchi to a match to determine who the strongest DNA wrestler is. Meanwhile KENSO will never forgive Sanshiro Takagi for this injustice.

Higuchi has suddenly found himself back in the KO-D Title chase. He now has a Right To Challenge Contract after beating Kouki Iwasaki. Higuchi said he wants to cash it in fair and square against the winner of this Sunday’s KO-D Title match.

*Yuko Miyamoto will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Once Yuko Miyamoto gets his title shot there will be two remaining Right To Challenge contracts in play. Toru Owashi and Kouki Iwasaki currently have them. Owashi has impressively kept hold of his ever since he earned it back in March. He’s just waiting for the right time to use it.

LiLiCo and Mizuki Watase have been training hard for the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Death Match. And by training hard I mean making out in the DDT dojo.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Dick Togo Return Second Leg! Special Tag Match: Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki
2. Shigehiro Irie Send-off Match: Shigehiro Irie & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Keisuke Ishii

Shigehiro Irie’s final DDT match for now involves his closest allies and rivals. He’s teaming with Yukio Sakaguchi because they rarely if not ever wrestled together on the same side. He’s fighting HARASHIMA because he ultimately wants to surpass him. Keisuke Ishii is also there because of their close ties together in Team Drift. They were champions together but now go their separate ways.

As one of the few remaining Right To Challenge holders, Kouki Iwasaki is in a dangerous position going up against a fresh out of retirement Dick Togo.

DDT “PETER PAN 2016 ~MOST HOT SUMMER IN THE WORLD~”, 28/08/2016
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Terry Funk, Sanshiro Takagi & NOSAWA Rongai Vs Great Kabuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Shuji Ishikawa’s spot in the main event is guaranteed. However the KO-D Champion could change between now and then. Konosuke Takeshita has other title defences to worry about including any possible Right To Challenge cash ins.

Dick Togo and Reika Saiki are scheduled to wrestle on the show. Shigehiro Irie will not due to his excursion to America.

Shigehiro Irie Planning USA Excursion

June 28, 2016

irie-to-usa

Shigehiro Irie held a press conference in the DDT’s Shinjuku office today to announce he will be going on an indefinite excursion to America later this month. DDT GM Amon Tsurumi explained that Irie approached him after Sunday’s show requesting the excursion. Tsurumi told him he is needed in DDT and he would be in better company by staying with them instead of travelling overseas. Irie has unique personality that is both intense and cute according to Tsurumi, losing Irie would be a big blow for DDT. However Irie’s intention to go through with the plan convinced Tsurumi to reconsider.

Irie explained his decision to leave. Ever since Team Dream Futures broke up Irie made it his goal to win this year’s King Of DDT tournament as an individual. He put everything into his tournament run but was eliminated in the semi-final by the eventual tournament winner Shuji Ishikawa. Irie was devastated by the loss and had to reexamine his current abilities. If he wants to get stronger as both a wrestler and a human he would have to start training outside of Japan. He admits this is a selfish decision. Irie’s send-off match for DDT takes place on 17th July in Korakuen Hall. He teams with Yukio Sakaguchi to take on HARASHIMA and Keisuke Ishii. Those wrestlers were chosen because Irie has a strong connection with all three of them. Ishii is a close friend and former teammate, HARASHIMA is who Irie wants to ultimately overtake and Sakaguchi is an opponent he doesn’t think he has teamed with before. His date of return hasn’t been decided but DDT confirmed he will miss “PETER PAN 2016” in August.

Irie hasn’t decided what his plans in America are yet. He has not decided where to stay or where to wrestle but he is studying English little by little. He can say the seasons and days of the week in English, also most of the months. He says he likes American wrestling and WCW was his favourite. Tsurumi agrees and said his favourite wrestler was Disco Inferno. Irie said he was hooked when he saw La Parka’s entrance for the first time. Irie joked he will come back to Japan as Disco Inferno. Tsurumi said he would then just be like Kazuki Hirata and it will be better if he comes back as Goldberg. Irie’s goal is to come back having grown as a human being.

endo-vs-shuji

The Big Dog (no not that one) is this year’s King Of DDT winner! Shuji Ishikawa did his master proud by beating Tetsuya Endo. Now he has a guaranteed spot in the KO-D Openweight Title match main event at “PETER PAN 2016” this August. To get to the final Ishikawa had to beat Shigehiro Irie earlier in the show while Endo defeated HARASHIMA. The two met in the final to continue the feud between Kettaku-chu and Happy Motels. Strength Vs Speed saw Ishikawa Giant Swing Endo into the front row. Ishikawa continued to overwhelm Endo with his size until Endo escaped from the Splash Mountain. Endo hit a Quebrada and Swan Dive Elbow to make things even then locked in a Sleeper Hold. He struggled to lift Ishikawa for the Torture Rack Bomb but eventually did it. He followed up with the Sky Twister Press but Ishikawa kicked out! Ishikawa gave Endo the Fire Thunder but Endo countered the Splash Mountain into a Frankensteiner for a nearfall. Ishikawa regained control and put Endo down with a Knee Lift and a Dragon Suplex. Endo kicked out at one! Ishikawa hit the Splash Mountain. Endo kicked out at two! The crowd were fully behind Endo but it was all for nothing when Ishikawa hit the Giant Slam (Wrist Clutch Angle Slam) and finally got the three count. Ishikawa was given a 1,000,000 yen cash prize from the president of BLACK OUT energy drinks, the sponsor of today’s show. Ishikawa hugged the life out of him. Ishikawa spoke well of both Endo and Irie but was cut off by Daisuke Sasaki. Sasaki bragged about “Adrien” winning the tournament while running down HARASHIMA, Irie and Endo. Especially Endo. He said the KO-D Champion at Sumo Hall will be Daisuke Sasaki…….’s pet, Shuji “Adrien” Ishikawa!

takeshita-german-urano

Yuko Miyamoto wasn’t 100% going into his tag team skirmish against Konosuke Takeshita. He had his stomach wrapped in tape. Antonio Honda kept him occupied while Takeshita pinned Yasu Urano with the German Suplex. After the match Takeshita reminded Miyamoto that their KO-D Title match is just one week away. Takeshita wants to make the championship more valuable and beating Miyamoto is one way to do it.

sakaguchi-rightknee

KUDO joined the rest of Shuten-dōji after they won Match #5. They celebrated with a toast. When Yukio Sakaguchi found out he will be in a match with Terry Funk in Sumo Hall this August he had nothing to say. Kota Umeda also tried to keep it cool. He never saw Funk wrestle live but thinks he himself is a suitable choice to wrestle against the legend. Sakaguchi just said he’ll kill him.

iwasaki-rtc

Among the chaos in the 4 Way Tag Match, Kouki Iwasaki came out on top for his team with Keisuke Ishii. He also won one of the three active Right To Challenge Contracts. He previously held one back in April but did not hold it for long. He said he will consult with Ishii over when he should cash it in and will keep a close eye on Takeshita Vs Miyamoto next month. He also said it is a great honour to wrestle Dick Togo on the same show.

endo-beats-harashima

Endo’s road to the final included a major victory over HARASHIMA. He went in hard from the start, hitting HARASHIMA with a No Touch Dive out of the ring. HARASHIMA picked his spots and cut off Endo during some high risk moments. Endo in turn avoided the Somato and cradled HARASHIMA for a pin. HARASHIMA reversed it but Endo cut him off and pinned him for the surprise three count. HARASHIMA couldn’t believe what happened and admitted he panicked a little. He knows that the only way he can main event Sumo Hall now this summer is to win a Right To Challenge Contract.

shuji-beats-irie

In the first King Of DDT semi-final, Irie focused on trying to choke out Ishikawa with the Tazmission. He even at one point gave Ishikawa the Fire Thunder! However Knee Lifts after Knee Lifts took their toll On Irie. He kept kicking out but Ishikawa hit one too many and that was it. Irie was devastated by the loss.

nwa-debut

The show kicked off with the debut performance of NωA the wrestling idol group formed by Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & Mao Inoue. As part of this project Inoue introduced himself with a new ring name, MAO. They were ready to perform their first song called “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU” when Kazuki Hirata interrupted. He didn’t want to hear their noisy singing. He wants to dance instead and he will fight them for it! As the match between T2Hide and NωA went on “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU” played over the sound system and it turned into a dance battle! When it ended Toru Owashi grabbed Katsumata and put him in La Magistral Cradle for the three count. After the match Owashi said he had an important announcement to make. Everyone thought it was going to be his plan to cash in his Right To Challenge Contract. Instead it was a reveal of the musical acts appearing on the “DDT FES 2016” show this November. Sanshiro Takagi warned NωA that their spot on the show was under threat. He challenged them to launch an official Twitter account and gain 50,000 followers if they want to keep their spot.

guanchulo-jojo1

Guanchulo used an Arm Clutch School Boy called the Yeyos Clutch to pin Rekka in the dark match.

The Muscle Idol Reika Saiki will make her DDT debut at “PETER PAN 2016”. She recently wrestled for Tokyo Joshi Pro. Saiki said she is honoured to wrestle on the big stage and she will do her best on the day to show her full muscle power.

A new match was made for “PETER PAN 2016” and boy is it a doozy. It will be Sanshiro Takagi, Terry Funk & NOSAWA Rongai Vs The Great Kabuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda!

Dick Togo’s second return match with DDT takes place on the 17th July Korakuen show. He teams with Yasu Urano to take on Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki.

KUDO appeared and showed off the new Ebisuko Tavern T-shirt available exclusively in the restaurant. He said he is on track to recover from his ACL injury but only wants to come back to the ring when he is in perfect condition.

Akito is currently out of action with a broken rib. He is scheduled to return on the 9th July.

DDT ring announcer Rikiya Shindo announced he is transferring over to BASARA.

DDT is teaming up with EVERLAST for a T-shirt collaboration. They are also working with BODY MAKER to release DDT “Dramatic Exercise Series” branded training gear and exercise equipment. There will be HARASHIMA and Saki Akai sauna suits, HARASHIMA push up rollers, an Akai exercise pole, a KUDO power slider and Kazuki Hirata power wrist ball.

Mizuki Watase has finally found a suitable choice for Makoto Oishi’s partner in the Stockholm Style Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Death Match. He originally wanted it to be Oishi’s ex-wife but that plan fell through. Instead he found Batten Burabura, a comedy wrestler who has wrestled for DDT in the past as Batten Tamagawa. The winner of the match needs to kiss their partner for 5 seconds. Watase intentionally picked Burabura so Oishi will have to kiss his ugly, rashed face if he wants to win.
