2. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Nodowa Otoshi (9:26).

5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Takao pinned Katsumata with the Gin And Tonic (14:18).
6. KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita when Takanashi pinned Honda with the Takatonic (18:20).

Masa Takanashi pinned Antonio Honda in the main event, possibly earning a DDT Extreme Title match in the process.

Danshoku Dino was left with a massive hand print on his ass after Keisuke Ishii hit him with multiple chops to that area during their match.

Yukio Sakaguchi says he feels like he has reawaken ever since he stood up to KUDO.

After beating Daisuke Sasaki in the opener, Yuji Okabayashi said he has less to fear in their upcoming KO-D Tag Team Title match. Sasaki said today’s match will have no relation to the title match. He also said he is calculating the timing of his Hurricanrana to make it more effective.

Gota Ihashi came out before the show demanding to have a King Of Dark Title match. He desperately does not want to face “Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa in the dark match at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. Amon Tsurumi brought Ryota Nakatsu, Kouki Iwasaki and Suguru Miyatake into the ring. Ihashi chose Nakatsu as his opponent and quickly lost. Ihashi then challenged Iwasaki and again quickly lost. He finally challenged Miyatake and once more took the pin. After gaining three unwanted title defences under his belt, Ihashi was told to leave the ring.

Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way 6-Person Tag Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Hyper Misao defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai and Antonio Honda, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Nonoko when Dino pinned Hirata with the Danshoku Driver onto a table (27:00).

DDT returned to the HandMade In Japan Festival for their annual Falls Count Anywhere match for the event. Before the match began Amon Tsurumi went over the rules. If a wrestler broke any of the products on display in the area, they would have to pay for it. Each of the wrestlers entered the stage wearing handmade masks created by sellers at the event.

Kazuki Hirata’s dance was interrupted by the match starting on the stage. Hyper Misao dove off the stage onto some of her opponents on the ground below. Sanshiro Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream combat bicycle and Lariated Tomomitsu Matsunaga as he cycled past him. Danshoku Dino brought out a giant hammer and swung wild with it. The match travelled into indoors and Dino reminded everyone to be careful around the trade hall. He and Makoto Oishi bought some smartphone covers and wore them on their hands. Takagi and Antonio Honda bought some t-shirts while Saki Akai found a massive mecha fist. She used it to rocket punch everyone. Back at the outdoor stage Honda did some Bionic Elbows and yelled “Dusty!” during each one. Nonoko joined in but she yelled “Busty!” instead. Everyone fought over the HIRATA GO! glasses and the defeated were thrown into Dino’s ass on a ladder. After that Dino and Hirata were the last left standing and Dino put Hirata through a table with the Danshoku Driver for the win.

After the match Dino told the crowd their is no destruction without creation. He noted there was not as much destruction as last year’s match but they were still able to create. He then spoke of a girl who saw last year’s match and afterwards wanted to be a pro wrestler. That girl is now Hyper Misao. She confirmed the story and started to cry. She came all the way from Gotham City in northern Kanto to visit the event and enjoyed what she saw from DDT. Today was also her first victory which makes the match even more memorable for her.

6. Soon Men And Women Will Quietly Sleep Drunk 5 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Soma Takao Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Saki Akai ended in a Draw when everyone was knocked out after drinking liquor.
7. KUDO & Kengo Mashimo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Isami Kodaka when KUDO pinned Kodaka with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi kept their distance in the ring during the opening speeches. Masa Takanashi kept apologising for the sudden change of teams in the main event. For the match itself Takanashi refused to take sides and stood watching at the neutral corner outside the ring. During the closing show speech Sakaguchi briefly thanked the fans for attending and left when it was KUDO’s turn to speak. KUDO said he does not know what will happen to his relationship with Sakaguchi but Shuten-dōji will still exist and their planned Beer Garden show next month is still happening.

Everybody in the 5 Way match had to drink shots of tequila whenever drinking music played over the speakers. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that everyone got drunk. Konosuke Takeshita was stopped from drinking because he was mistaken for a minor. When he pointed out he is 20 years old (the legal drinking age in Japan) everybody congratulated him. All five wrestlers rolled each other around in failed pinning attempts until they all collapsed from dizziness. Everyone was too drunk to get back on their feet and they were all counted out.

Takanashi was blinded with black ink in Match #5. Gorgeous Matsuno tried to capitalise with the Swanton Bomb but missed his target. Takanashi recovered his eyesight and pinned Matsuno afterwards.

Everyone in Match #4 wound up wrestling bare-assed by the end of their bout.

sakaguchi-irie-kneeofgod

After several weeks of setbacks and self-doubt Yukio Sakaguchi finally overcame Shigehiro Irie in the main event of today’s show. For the last month Irie had Sakaguchi’s number everytime they faced off and they wasted no time from the get go. KUDO watched the match from the commentary table knowing that he will be defending the KO-D Openweight Title against either wrestler at Sumo Hall next month. Irie hit the Flying Sausage, Teddy Bear and Beast Bomber but Sakaguchi wouldn’t stay down. Sakaguchi locked in a Sleeper Hold but Irie escaped and hit a Fire Thunder Driver for two. Sakaguchi Headbutted his way out of the Vertical Drop Back Flip and unleashed High Kicks to Irie, finishing him off with the Right Knee Of God. Sakaguchi praised Irie after the match and thanked GM Amon Tsurumi for not listening to his selfish plea of being removed from the Sumo Hall main event. Sakaguchi then called in KUDO and they had a staredown. Masa Takanashi tried to keep both of them calm but KUDO put his hand up to his mouth to shut him up. Sakaguchi told KUDO their match will be a war and they will kill each other for the KO-D Title.

suplex-prefecture-bitch

The Golden☆Storm Riders and Strong BJ had their final skirmish before the big KO-D Tag Team Title match. The 6-Man Tag saw Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki push Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi into each other with trolleys. Strong BJ fought back with a triple Torture Rack spot in the ring. Ibushi stopped a German Suplex pin from Sekimoto by Double Stomping onto him. Unfortunately for Sasaki he got tossed around some more including a Double German from the tag champs. Sasaki’s flash Hurricanrana was blocked and Sekimoto destroyed him with the Lariat followed by the Deadlift German Suplex. In the post-match interview Ibushi said Sasaki was damaged pretty badly but he’ll recover in time for Sumo Hall. Meanwhile Ibushi will now focus on the G1 Climax that begins tomorrow.

mikami-farewell

After being with DDT for its entire 18 year existence MIKAMI has finished up his contract and is now a freelancer. DDT gave him a special sending off even though he is still going to wrestle for them from time to time. MIKAMI gave a speech thanking everyone for supporting him and continuing to support him. He also gave special mention to Gorgeous Matsuno and said they will team again someday.

fall-to-the-hell

Akito’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion has come to an end after Antonio Honda beat him in a Fall To The Hell Match. The ropes and turnbuckle pads were removed from the ring and the match could be won by ring out as well as pinfall or submission. There was a lot of ground wrestling as both men didn’t want to risk getting knocked out of the ring. Akito busted open Honda with Headbutts but Honda won out in the end when he Dropkicked Akito out of the ring. Honda said blood on his face is like beautiful make-up on a beautiful woman. It was announced afterwards that Honda will have his first defence at Sumo Hall. His opponent will be determined on 1st August. Honda is thrilled to have a big title match at Sumo Hall.

last-minute-powerpoint

Due to the warm summer weather Super Sasadango Machine did not wear his usual long wrestling tights for his match. He also had a migraine so he did not create a PowerPoint presentation in time for the match. Danshoki Dino & Makoto Oishi asked how long it would take to make one and he said 5 minutes. Dino & Oishi told Sasadango to go make it and they will wrestle without him. Sasadango finished it and midway through the match he begun his analysis. He compared his opponents to the Takeda Cavalry from the Warring States period of Japanese history. The Takeda Cavalry was defeated with guns in the Battle Of Nagashino so Sasadango’s team should do something similar, just instead of guns they should use their asses. Sasadango said the anus is their muzzle, the rectum is their barrel and that’s where the bullet exits from (I can’t believe I’m typing this). He then revealed his plan “The Anal Three Stage Shoot”. The plan was for all three to use ass based offence and it worked! The trio won the match and look like they will be challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall.

saki-takanashi-go

The 3 Way Tag devolved into dancing and fighting over the Hirata GO! glasses. Takanashi rolled over both Kazuki Hirata & Hiroshi Fukuda for a near fall. Saki Akai then followed up with a Double Jackknife Pin and that was enough to get the win. Hirata & Fukuda argued over who lost after the match.

higuchi-backbreaker

Kazusada Higuchi has a new entrance song. He tapped out Kota Umeda by countering the Tornado Bomb into the Canadian Backbreaker.

urano-ihashi-dark

Even with all the rules in his favour Gota Ihashi could not beat Yasu Urano in the King Of Dark Title match. Urano was being punished for losing the KO-D Title to Ken Ohka and only had to be pinned for 1 second to lose the match. However an Oklahoma Roll saved him from dark match hell. Ihashi then found out his next title match will be at Sumo Hall against Dragon Gate’s own lovable loser “Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa! Ihashi thinks this is the match that will finally free him from his nightmare.

More matches were booked for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. Genichiro Tenryu, Sanshiro Takagi & Saki Akai will take on Shuji Ishikawa, Kazusada Higuchi & Meiko Satomura. Also Tetsuya Endo returns from injury and his first match back is against his tag team partner Konosuke Takeshita!

5. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated KUDO & Masa Takanshi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (10:53).

The show began at 5am over in Japan as part of an all day live stream on Niconico. No tickets were available so the entire wrestling show took place in an empty Korakuen Hall. The Niconico “Bullet Hell” style chat appeared on the screen for the wrestlers to see and interact with.

Even without an audience Super Sasadango Machine held a PowerPoint presentation to figure out how to beat two 20 year old wrestlers early in the morning.

Danshoku Dino and Hiroshi Fukuda could only use certain moves depending on viewer donations. By spending Nico Points, viewers could purchase single use moves for the wrestlers to do. For example Dino could only do the Danshoku Driver if somebody in the chat purchased the move for 300 points. For some reason Fukuda’s Perfect Plex was priced at 99,999 points. Late in the match the price was cut down to just 30 points but nobody bought it. Fukuda did the move anyway but Dino kicked out at 1 and then beat Fukuda with the Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver.

Yoshihiko was given a DWANGO internet gift package for winning the Rumble match.

At the end of the show Kazuki Hirata entered the ring wanting to dance but the stream cut off as he was getting ready.

Ayumu Honda is from K-DOJO. Macho Michaels is from the indie sleaze scene and forms the Bodybuilding Army with Seiya Morohashi. They sent a message to Kazuhiko Ogasawara proclaiming that muscles are more exciting than karate. Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda also sent a message warning Ogasawara of their Judo abilities. This lead to Ogasawara challenging both teams to a 3 Way Tag Match which might be too much for his new protégé Ryu Gouma to handle.

The main event was a mess like all Brahman Brothers matches tend to be. Everyone was soaked in beer and water. The pig head, carrying case and bowling ball all came into play. Hiroshi Fukuda interfered and Clotheslined both Brahmans while the fans chanted “USA!”. The Brahmans later brought in buckets of noodles to turn the tables. They blinded their opponents with black ink to get the win.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Ryuichi Kawakami both sang “Subaru” by Shinji Tanimura together during their match.

The next Tavern Wrestling show will have Isami Kodaka Vs Atsushi Maruyama as well as Zhao Yun & Cao Zhang Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano.

Antonio Honda did a good job convincing Akito for a DDT Extreme Title match. They will fight under Fall Into The Hell rules. The ring ropes will be removed and victory can be achieved by pinfall, submission or knocking the opponent out of the ring.

There is no official stipulation added to Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie. However if Irie beats Sakaguchi again for the third time this month it will surely lead to changes in the Sumo Hall main event.

Konosuke Takeshita won in impressive fashion by German Suplexing Kazusada Higuchi in the main event. Higuchi had Takeshita in the Canadian Backbreaker but Akito cut him off with a Dropkick. Takeshita cut down Higuchi with a Lariat before deadlifting him into the German Suplex.

The situation between Shuten-dōji seems to be improving a little bit. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi shared a drink when they defeated Smile Squash in the semi-main event.

Kota Ibushi got to experience what it is like in Kuishinbo Kamen and Kikutaro’s world. He beat the both of them immediately and all three congratulated each other until an unsatisfied Yukinori Matsui told them to restart the match. At one point Ibushi noticed someone was standing behind him and thinking it was one of his opponents he did a low blow mule kick. The person turned out to be Matsui. Kikutaro removed his mask and threw it to Ibushi, claiming that he was illegally unmasked. Matsui said he didn’t notice anything different about Kikutaro and allowed the match to continue. Ibushi put on Kikutaro’s mask and did some of Kikutaro’s comedy spots with Kamen. He then knocked out both Kamen and Kikutaro with punches and pinned them with a Diving Body Press from the top rope.

Super Sasadango Machine held another PowerPoint presentation for his match with Atsushi Maruyama. Sasadango figured out the three elements that make up his opponent. Maruyama is fierce like a wild tiger, drinks one litre of vinegar a day to stay healthy and wears a mask on weekdays. Sasadango wondered if Maruyama was Tigers Mask. He then brought out the IMGP World Title. The International Muscle Grand Prix was the governing body that promoted the old MUSCLE brand and Tigers Mask was the last champion before the title disappeared. Sasadango then announced he and Maruyama will fight over the vacated championship. Sasadango’s plan was to make Maruyama cry, use a diaper to absorb his tears and then wear the diaper to make himself heavier and in the process boost the power of the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock. When the match began both men were quickly gassed. They decided to fight outside the ring Big Japan style to cover up their lack of fitness. As they did so they noticed a woman in the first row and discovered it was Shigehiro Irie’s mother. She gave a heartfelt message of support for her son which made Maruyama cry. Irie came out and said his mother was the most important woman in the world to him. He talked about the first time she brought him to Delfin Arena to watch wrestling and they hugged. Now Sasadango was crying. Maruyama took advantage and kicked Sasadango in the head to win the IMGP Title.
