The main event was changed when it was reported Bob Sapp hadn’t arrived in the arena yet and was suffering from enormous damage after his defeat to Sachiko Kobayashi yesterday. Super Sasadango Machine took his place and was victorious with Sanshiro Takagi over the Michinoku Pro team. Sapp finally appeared after the match and challenged M-Pro’s guest San-chan to a fight. San-chan was outmatched and overpowered but was encouraged by the others to continue. Chibi Tiger and members of the TV show Mecha-Mecha Iketeru! came down to help him and everyone had to be seperated. San-chan swore he will do his best to have his debut wrestling match later this year.

niconico13

An example of the stream chat making memes took place in the semi-main event. During the match Yasu Urano told Hiroshi Fukuda that he is no big deal. This caused the chat to be flooded with “Fukuda is no big deal” comments.

niconico14

Kazuki Hirata was physically stopped from dancing during his entrance. Hirata sulked throughout the match until he got his glasses back.

niconico15

Kota Ibushi just couldn’t help himself and made his match spread across the convention hall. With Michael Nakazawa in his corner once more, Ibushi dragged Daisuke Sasaki, Danshoku Dino and Makoto Oishi over to exhibits like the Guinness World Record Challenge booth, a dinosaur skeleton display and a Niconico van which Ibushi of course Moonsaulted off of.

niconico16

A single Right To Challenge Contract was passed around three times in the Rumble Match. Tomomitsu Matsunaga pinned Yoshihiko to win its contract, then DJ Nira pinned Matsunaga. Saki Akai tapped out Nira with a Modified Camel Clutch but there was one more person left to enter. Out came Michael Nakazawa back from Singapore! He greeted the crowd and then went straight for Akai and her contract. Akai pulled down the ropes behind her and Nakazawa went flying out of the ring to end the match. Akai said she wants to cash in her contract at the next Korakuen Hall show. She also credited meeting Genichiro Tenryu yesterday for giving her extra fighting spirit.

niconico17

The Kamen Joshi musical performance was interrupted by Homoiro Clover Z members Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi and Hiroshi Fukuda. The two groups had a dance contest which Kamen Joshi won. Homoiro Clover Z took the defeat badly and attacked the idols. Help came in the forms of Shigehiro Irie and Yoshihiko. They and the Kamen Girls overpowered Dino’s crew and chased them off before performing another song.

niconico18

Super Sasadango Machine repeated yesterday’s strategy on Shigehiro Irie. That is he encouraged the stream chat to type “Irie, behind you!” whenever Irie climbed the top rope. Sasadango also did som calculations and discovered his strategy to beat Ibushi yesterday only caused 35% damage instead of the 70% he originally predicted. There was also a ring girl present and Sasadango gave her a piece of paper that said “Room No. 2735” to use as another distraction. The plan backfired when another Super Sasadango Machine appeared and flirted with the ring girl, distracting the original. Irie capitalised and pinned Sasadango with the Flying Sausage. He then unmasked the imposter Sasadango and revealed him to be Hiroshi Fukuda.

niconico19

The ring suffered some damage during the King Of Dark Title match. When the match was over Gota Ihashi did some impersonations of Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi to keep the crowd entertained while the ring was being repaired.

Over the space of a day DDT with the help of au held a bunch of matches inside the Niconico Chokaigi Super Conference. Airing live on Niconico, DDT claims the stream had over 130,000 viewers at its peak. The stream chat had a vital role during the show. The chat appeared on the arena screen in real time for all to see, scrolling across sideways in a “bullet hell” format.

niconico2

There was a “wedding” between a 39 year old man named Atari and a 17 year old woman named Mayutan that devolved into a pie fight and was interrupted by Danshoku Dino. Also Mr. AKIBA was there to catch the bouquet. Dino got his hands on the groom until HARASHIMA and Akito came to the rescue. A match was then held between HARASHIMA & Akito versus Dino & Makoto Oishi to determine if the bride and groom could get married. HARASHIMA & Akito won but Dino had one more trick up his sleeve to stop the marriage… Bob Sapp! Dino fought off HARASHIMA & Akito while Sapp overpowered Atari to stop him from kissing the bride. All hope was lost until “TAKE THE DREAM” played over the speakers. Out came Kensuke Sasaki! There was a masked woman next to him who was revealed to be famous singer Sachiko Kobayashi. She easily destroyed both Dino Sapp to bring an end to the fiasco. Atari and Mayutan finally kissed while everyone around them cheered.

niconico3

The Niconico Super Conference was the perfect location for a Super Sasadango Machine PowerPoint presentation. Today’s strategy to beat Kota Ibushi involved using the Niconico chat on screen to distract Ibushi from doing the Phoenix Splash. Sasadango told the viewers to post “Ibushi, behind you!” whenever he was going up to the top rope and faced the screen. This would confuse Ibushi and give Sasadango time to climb up and do a top rope Brainbuster that would inflict 70% HP damage. Sasadango was certain that it would work so well that Ibushi would move full time to New Japan as a result. The distraction worked several times and in the end Sasadango hit the top rope Brainbuster followed by the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock. Ibushi then kicked out at one. Sasadango was stunned, so much so that he removed his mask in shock. Ibushi got up and did his own Lehmann Shock to win the match.

niconico4

Genichiro Tenryu and Yukio Sakaguchi had a staredown after their match. Tenryu offered a handshake but Sakaguchi chopped him instead! Tenryu struck back with a chop of his own and the two stared each other down again. In a backstage interview Sakaguchi said he would fight Tenryu one-on-one anytime.

niconico5

Racial tensions highlighted the match between Hiroshi Fukuda and Yoshihiko. Fukuda was angry he had to fight a doll instead of somebody American or a white Hispanic. He then accused Yoshihiko of just being a sex doll and attacked it to start the match. Yoshihiko turned the tables with a Swan Dive Swinging DDT but Fukuda was back in control when he applied the Sleeper Hold. After doing the Michinoku Driver three times, he climbed up top and yelled he would do a 450 Splash. Yoshihiko suddenly sprang up to Fukuda and threw him off the top rope. Daisuke Kiso was then accidentally knocked out in the crossfire. Fukuda saw his chance and struck Yoshihiko with his tambourine while the ref was down. Unfortunately Kiso was still unconscious when Fukuda went for the pin. Fukuda revived him but Yoshihiko was back up and hit the Yoshihiko Destroyer for the three count, winning Fukuda’s Right To Challenge contract in the process!

niconico6

Sadly the mascots in Yuru-chara Pro Wrestling did not actually wrestle. Actually, I’m not quite sure what it is they did. In fact some of them had a lot of trouble trying to get into the ring and the entire entrance portion of the segment took 23 minutes. Kumamon shook the ropes like the Ultimate Warrior and attacked the others with a towel (Why? For the glory of Satan of course!). Okazaemon brought in a chair for all the mascots to play musical chairs with. One of the mascots removed its head to reveal a smaller, lightweight mask for it to see better. Burikatsu-kun spoke and complained about being tired so Amon Tsurumi stopped the match. Guest ring announcer Terashima Yufu picked Fukka-chan as the winner because she believed it worked the hardest. It is also her favourite mascot so favouritism probably played a part in this. The mascots then played a proper game of musical chairs which Fukka-chan also won. Kumamon did not give a fuck during this and heeled on everyone.

niconico7

M.S.S.P is a Let’s Play group and they were at the event challenging Danshoku Dino to some video games. The first game was Fire Pro Returns on the Playstation 2. Dino played as the Fire Pro version of himself and his opponent picked Taiji Ishimori. Dino won with the Danshoku Driver. The next game was Kinnikuman Muscle Tag Match for the Famicom. M.R.R.P won this round. The final round was on Kinnikuman Tag again after an audience vote. Dino defeated M.R.R.P to win the challenge. He then chased after them to do some lewd things end the segment.

niconico8

Kazuki Hirata was too busy dancing to notice Tomomitsu Matsunaga sneaking behind him for a flash three count. The screen filled with lines of 88888888 from the stream chat which represents an applause in Japanese internet speak. An immediate rematch was held and Hirata redeemed himself by getting the win for his team.

niconico9

Gota Ihashi continues to be stuck in dark match hell. He lost to DJ Nira not once but twice in two successive King Of Dark Title matches. The second match was a sumo bout with a masked Hoshitango as the referee. Nira somehow won when he tried to lift Ihashi and the champion collapsed under his own weight.

MIKAMI missed the show due to a high fever. Kouki Iwasaki took his place.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

So two of the wrestlers fighting over the last Right To Challenge Contract already have contracts. That’s a little unfair. I assume Hiroshi Fukuda’s and Yasu Urano’s contracts will be safe if they are just eliminated by ring out.

I’m assuming the KO-D Openweight Champion, if it’s either Kota Ibushi or HARASHIMA will be on all three shows on the week beginning 4th May. Maybe a Right To Challenge cash in can take place here?

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Akito has picked Shigehiro Irie to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. It means a lot for Irie to get the title shot in Nagoya where he wrestled for several years before joining DDT.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The DNA stand out Kazusada Higuchi has made it public that he will cash in his Right To Challenge Contract in his home prefecture of Hokkaido. All he has to do is not lose it until then. He’s on the right track because he has yet to drop a fall in his young pro wrestling career.

Saki Akai and Tomoya will wrestle on the show.

– Sudden Death: Akito (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Perfect Figure Four Leglock (6:48).
*V1 for Akito.

The DDT Extreme Title was up for grabs in a gruelling 60 minute Ironman match, continuing the trend of the championship being defended in serious skill-based matches. The champion Akito had already lost to the challenger Daisuke Sasaki in March. A rematch went 30 minutes without a winner and now even 60 minutes isn’t enough to determine who is more worthy of being champion. Sasaki scored the first fall with a Hurricanrana but Akito equalised with a Scorpion Armlock submission. Akito thought outside of the box with La Mistica into the Crossface Lock to go ahead again. A double countout occurred shortly afterwards when the two fought outside and did what they could to prevent the other from re-entering the ring. Akito made it a tie score at the 45th minute with the Kinniku Big Move. In the dying moments of the match Sasaki used TAKA Michinoku’s Dick Killer submission (Sasaki was trained by Dick Togo, the wrestler TAKA designed the move to use against) but Akito persevered until the bell rang to end the match at 2 falls a piece. A draw would have counted as a successful defence for Akito but the champion refused and wanted the match to restart so they could determine a winner. Sudden death overtime began and the two were able to fight for 6 more minutes until Akito finally got the better of Sasaki with an Arm Clutch Figure Four Leglock. With nowhere to escape Sasaki had to give up. After the match the two reminisced about their first matches together at the Monthly Young Communication shows DDT used to do. Akito said he will continue to wrestle Sasaki any number of times in the future if they can.

Akito pointed out that his next title defence will be in Nagoya on 17th May. He nominated Shigehiro Irie as his next challenger since Nagoya is a place close to Irie’s heart. Irie was “amazingly happy” to be chosen and he knows he will be fighting the best.

HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano signalled their intentions to go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after beating Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao. Ishii has no time to worry about that. His full attention is on the KO-D Tag Team Title shot at the end of the month.

We almost had the first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract cash in. Hiroshi Fukuda entered the ring after the BOYZ Vs YaroZ match with the intention of challenging a tired Kota Ibushi for the KO-D Openweight Title. Problem is Ibushi wasn’t feeling tired. In fact he was ready to wrestle again there and then. Fukuda suddenly got cold feet and changed his mind. He remembered he has other errands to attend to and will challenge Ibushi another time. Amon Tsurumi told Fukuda he could cash in after the Ibushi Vs HARASHIMA match at Korakuen Hall. Fukuda played dumb and acted like he wasn’t sure what time that show is taking place before leaving the ring.

The YaroZ team had a secret weapon prepared for their BOYZ opponents. Brother Tommy introduced another MC midway through the match, Rashiki Ihashi. Unfortunately Ihashi’s interference backfired and cost YaroZ the match. Sanshiro Takagi was annoyed by losing because of an outside party and demanded a rematch without any interference from either side. BOYZ Vs YaroZ will have one final match at the 29th April Korakuen Hall show.

Before the latest Tokyo GO! match took place, Yukio Sakaguchi presented KUDO with the HIRATA GO glasses he wore in Yokohama. KUDO stubbornly refused to wear them. Kazuki Hirata came down to the ring angry that his glasses were stolen by Sakaguchi but he luckily had a spare one with him. As the match went on KUDO was eventually convinced to put on the glasses to go against Hirata’s. KUDO brought an end to the nonsense when he kicked Hirata in the head so hard the glasses flew off.

Ever since Danshoku Dino begun his “Danshoku Life” pilgrimage, MIKAMI has lost to him three times in a row.

Yasu Urano avoided dark match hell when he beat Gota Ihashi in the King of Dark Title match. Urano submitted Ihashi with a tight Headlock, the very same ending that happened in Ihashi’s debut DDT match almost 6 years ago.

Izuguranparu Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and DDT did its part by holding a street wrestling match there. This was the largest area for a match DDT has ever wrestled in. Sanshiro Takagi claimed that 220,000 square metres of land was the maximum range they could fight in. The match begun in a small square acting as a makeshift ring. Takagi came out with a guitar and Gota Ihashi was armed with a steel basin. Danshoku Dino was not acting like a Buddhist pilgrim and was back to his normal self just for today. Jun Kasai was jealous of the crowd support for Saki Akai and stomped on a fan’s sign that was made for Akai.

Obviously the match could never be contained in the square and the action quickly spread across the park. They reached the adventure park where there was nets, swings and a low zipline for everyone to do moves from. Next up was a public restroom where everyone took a quick toilet break. After that they found a go kart track and had an imprompty race. Takagi & Kasai came first and afterwards they tried to run over everyone else.

The match travelled over to River Island where there was a water slide for the wrestlers to dunk each other in. Daisuke Sasaki was dunked the most. Takagi returned with the Combat Bicycle and easily beat Kota Ibushi on a small Ladybug Bike. Unfortunately Takagi then crashed straight into Kasai on another Ladybug Bike. Dino then threw Takagi into a castle of chairs that was set up nearby.

Ibushi found the trampoline play area and immediately jumped in. He bounced Suguru Miyatake with the Sit Down Power Bomb and then did a Bouncing Phoenix Splash onto Ihashi. Elsewhere Kasai and Sasaki found a shooting gallery and had a duel with cork guns. Kasai tried to take a female fan hostage with his cork gun. Ibushi with the help of Dino stuck a cork gun up Ihashi’s backside. Dino then stuck the same cork gun up Takagi’s nose.

When that was done all eight wrestlers went to a lake where there was floating water spheres for them to enter. Sasaki put Miyatake in the Cross Facelock inside one of the spheres. Apparantly Miyatake gave up but Yukinori Matsui was outside the sphere and couldn’t hear him.

As the match length was heading towards one hour the match moved over to its final location, the 110m long Super Slide! Makoto Oishi was there and he held Ihashi in place at the bottom as wrestler after wrestler plunged down the slide to Dropkick him. Dino was the last one and he intentionally crotched himself on Ihashi.

There was also a zipline next to the slide and Miyatake used it to slam himself into his opponents until Takagi sprayed him with a hydrant of carbon dioxide gas. With an opportunity to win the match presenting itself, Takagi found a table and placed Ihashi on top of it while Kasai climbed up the slide. Kasai positioned himself over Ihashi and hit the Pearl Harbour Splash from the slide through the table!

After the match Kasai told Takagi that while the height of his jump was no big deal, the table was still positioned too close to the slide and could have been very dangerous. Kasai has a policy to think before he dives. Takagi apologised. Everyone then went back to the starting area where they met the president of the park and also held a Q&A session for the fans.

During a promotional event for the show, Mio Shirai appeared and asked Ken Ohka to team up with her on the 29th April Union show at Korakuen Hall. They’ve had their differences in the past. When Shirai began wrestling for Union Ohka became smitten with her. He stalked her but Shirai caught him every time and choked him out with the Figure Four Neck Lock. They later became a tsundere tag team, sticking together until Ohka left Union to form Ganbare☆Wrestling. Ohka at first refused Shirai’s request. After losing the war against Union he feels that he would be lowering himself by returning there. But when Shirai tearfully asked him to reconsider, Ohka changed his mind and agreed to join her on 29th April.

Tomoya Kawamura pulled out of the main event. Taking his place is his Union colleague Mitomi Masayuki returning to Ganbare☆Wrestling for the first time since his suspension.

Mr. AKIBA is an American otaku who approached Ohka for an opportunity to become a wrestler. Once he went away Ohka decided AKIBA will fight the monster J-Soul Pandita III IV.

30 minutes isn’t enough fo Akito and Daisuke Sasaki. A 60 minute Iron Man Match will determine who deserves to be the DDT Extreme Champion.

Tetsuya Endo’s foot injury has not healed so he will not be able to compete on the show. A replacement was needed for the King Of Dark Title match. Amon Tsurumi picked Yasu Urano to take Endo’s place and “challenge” for the title. Tsurumi explained that during the Right To Challenge Rumble Urano secretly swapped his prize with Endo’s when the referee wasn’t looking. So when it was time to reveal who got what, Urano got the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract while Endo got the King Of Dark Title shot booby prize. Amon (and the audience) knew this at the time but he kept silent on the matter until now. Amon also announced that the winner of the match has to work double duty and will team with HARASHIMA later in the show.

30 minutes was not enough for Akito and Daisuke Sasaki to settle their score. The prelude to their DDT Extreme Title match ended without a winner when the time expired. As champion Akito gets to choose the stipulation for the title match on 19th April. He decided it will be a 60 minute Ironman match!

HARASHIMA is feeling positive about his upcoming KO-D Openweight Title match against Kota Ibushi. The results show it as HARASHIMA has so far been on the winning side of matches against Ibushi ever since he became the No. 1 Contender.

We got the first of what will be no doubt many Right To Challenge Contract transfers. Tomomitsu Matsunaga won Antonio Honda’s contract when he pinned him in Match #3.
