*KUDO fails in V3. HARASHIMA becomes the 48th KO-D Openweight Champion! HARASHIMA cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

There is just no stopping HARASHIMA. He is now a 6 time KO-D Openweight Champion after defeating KUDO in a rematch of their “JUDGEMENT 2014” bout back in March. HARASHIMA cashed in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract to have this match and he is the second person to successfully get a championship for it. Masa Takanashi was the first but his cash in was on a weakened Sanshiro Takagi who had wrestled won the title moments before. Here the difference was HARASHIMA announced in advance he was cashing it on this day and KUDO was not wrestling anyone else. But no matter how much time KUDO had to prepare, HARASHIMA wound up being on top of the DDT mountain once again. There is no immediate challenger for the new champion due to the King Of DDT tournament beginning soon but two contracts are still in play. They are currently being held by Shigehiro Irie and Super Sasadango Machine.

It was a good day for Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie as they successfully defended the All Asia Tag Team Titles for the second time. Today they faced Yasu Urano & Akito from the newly formed Smile Squash faction. Irie says he wants to defend the belts more not just against DDT wrestlers but against All Japan teams too. But they are not interested in going after the KO-D Tag Team Championships right now. They waited so long to become the All Asia Champions that they are cherishing every moment they have with the belts.

Konaka = Pehlwan and his brethren threatened to unleash a capsule monster into the arena but Ultraman Robin and his Robin Rangers came to the rescue. The two forces fought a foracious battle under Lucha Libre rules. Ultraman gained possession of the capsule and decided to use it on the Pehlwans. He threw it down to summon the monster but nothing happened. The match continued until Endo = Pehlwan missed a Moonsault and Takagi Robin pinned him with La Magistral Cradle. Ultraman Robin checked the capsule after the match and came to the conclusion it was faulty. No matter, he protected Nagoya and that’s what matters. He threw away the capsule but then there was a bang. All of a sudden, Hirata Robin appeared from the capsule. Everyone looked at him in shock and then he danced.

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in an Idol Lumberjack Death Match. Makoto Oishi brought along the idol group Sizukaze & Kizuna to stand by his side while the champion Masa Takanashi called up Emi Sakura and some of her Gatoh Move girls to do the same. Each of the lumberjacks were given a weapon they could use on the opponent whenever he wound up outside the ring but the items on offer were a little unbalanced. Oishi’s idols were all given plastic toy hammers, paper fans and wooden swords while Sakura brought along a barbed wire baseball bat! Oishi’s idols used their numbers advantage well, one of them trapped Takanashi in an Abdominal Stretch while all of the others whacked him with the hammers. Sakura did what she could to interfere including pulling the ref out of the ring when Oishi had Takanashi pinned for a three count. The interference finally backfired when a flying kick from Sakura aimed for Oishi was dodged and Takanashi was hit instead. Mizuno Haruko slapped Sakura out of the way and Oishi pinned Takanashi with the Tornado Clutch to become the new Extreme Champion!

Danshoku Dino revealed that he challenged Akitoshi Saito to a match in order to prove that Saito is gay. Saito denied it and called Dino an idiot. However he was interested in the Danshoku tights Dino was wearing, so much so that he stripped them off of Dino and put them on himself! Saito then Hip Thrusted Dino into the turnbuckles and gave him the Danshoku Driver to win the match. Dino approached Saito for a handshake and a kiss after the match but Saito immediately fled the ring.

Kota Ibushi had more important things to worry about today than an opening tag match in DDT. He was also scheduled to wrestle Tomohiro Ishii in a NEVER Openweight Title match over at Yokohama for New Japan. The New Japan match wasn’t taking place until the evening but Ibushi still needed time to travel, so he quickly and easily pinned Michael Nakazawa in the opener. Nakazawa’s team appealed for the match to restart and it was accepted by Ibushi’s team. Ibushi again won the match, this time pinning Guanchulo. After the match Ibushi and Kenny Omega said their goodbyes to Guanchulo and both raised his hands in the air.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY!”, 25/05/2014
Nagoya Congress Centre

0. Dark Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Shun Miyatake (Trainee)
1. King Of DDT Qualifying Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way Tag Team Match: MIKAMI & Antonio Honda Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Yasushi Sato Vs Soma Takao & Kengo Takai
3. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & DJ Nira Vs Michael Nakazawa, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Guanchulo
4. Takagi Robin, Owashi Robin & Ultraman Robin Vs Endo = Pehlwan, Takeshita = Pehlwan & Konaka = Pehlwan
5. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yasu Urano & Akito
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Akitoshi Saito
7. DDT Extreme Title – Idol Lumerjack Match: Masa Takanashi (c) (w/ Emi Sakura) Vs Makoto Oishi (w/ Sizukaze & Kizuna)
8. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs HARASHIMA
*HARASHIMA cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The Drift Vs Smile Squash match is now for the All Asia Tag Team Titles. This time DDT really does have the official certificate signed by PWF President Dory Funk Jr. The press conference announcing the match was interrupted by All Japan wrestler SUSHI. Amon Tsurumi did not know who he was and he got into an argument with SUSHI over who he is. SUSHI then challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to a title match but was told he was too late. But Tsurumi suggested he could challenge the winners. SUSHI did just that. Ishii & Irie suggested he could team with Raideen Hagane. SUSHI got annoyed by the suggestion and left.

Due to strong demands from Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi there is a change to their planned Six Man Tag Team match. Apparently there is a feud between Ultraman Robin and Konaka = Pehlwan that must be settled once and for all. Robin and Konaka will team with distant members of their families for the match. Robin has Takagi Robin & Owashi Robin on his team while Konaka will bring along Endo = Pehlwan & Takeshita = Pehlwan.

A confident Ihashi will announce his group’s name after their spectacular victory over the Storm Riders.

Poison Sawada JULIE is happy to see the hardest man in pro wrestling, Jun Akiyama as the reigning Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. However, Sanshiro Takagi is determined to win back the championship and has thrown his name into the Battle Royal.

DDT “DANSHOKU RANCH CLASSIC – SAYONARA GUANCHULO” Results

May 20, 2014

goodbye-guanchulo

DDT “DANSHOKU RANCH CLASSIC – SAYONARA GUANCHULO”, 20/05/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
211 Fans – No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Daisuke Kiso defeated DJ Nira with a Hurricanrana (5:39).
0. 4 Way Dark Match: HARASHIMA defeated Masa Takanashi, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (8:42).
1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Shun Miyatake (Trainee) with a Dropkick (10:07).
2. Antonio Honda & Sayaka Obihiro defeated Tetsuya Endo & Shunma Katsumata when Honda pinned Katsumata with the Diving Fist Drop (11:22).
3. Yasu Urano defeated Guanchulo with the Tombstone Piledriver (24:57).

Guanchulo’s year long stay in DDT has come to an end. A special farewell show was held today before he goes back to his home in Chile. The show was filmed for a future DVD release and video segments of Guanchulo talking about his time in Japan aired on the big screen inbetween the matches. The first video began with him saying “I think Japan is a good country.” Guanchulo talked about studying to become an English teacher in Chile until he took a leave of absence to wrestle in Japan. He became friends with Tetsuya Endo, Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake during his stay. He also got to do a lot of cool things like meeting the famous mask maker Mister Cacao and wrestling Kikutaro one on on. He had fun every day and learnt a lot but today he had to say goodbye to everyone. He ended by saying his favourite wrestlers are Mick Foley and Kikutaro.

The next video featured other wrestlers talking about Guanchulo. Daisuke Sasaki & Antonio Honda said they first met him at Dick Togo’s retirement show in Bolivia. Afterwards Honda sent him a message in English saying they should wrestle together. Amon Tsurumi said Guanchulo was indispensable to DDT while he was there and he worked harder than anyone else during the annual Beer Garden shows. Sayaka Obihiro tearfully said Guanchulo’s favourite phrase was “chance” because he worked hard for every chance he got. Sanshiro Takagi told Guanchulo to do his best because he is a part of DDT. The video ended with everyone saying “Adios, amigo!”

The main event was Guanchulo versus Yasu Urano. Despite the good feelings and emotion on display throughout the show, Urano was in a serious mood for the match. At one point Urano yelled “Go home!” as he was kicking Guanchulo. The Chilean replied “I don’t want to go back!” After 25 minutes of the two going back and forth, Guanchulo hit Urano with a Lariat. He then paused and told the crowd “Please listen carefully! Everyone really, thank you. Thank you very much!” He then gave Urano the Lightning Spiral and tried to end the match with a Brainbuster. But Urano reversed the move and finished Guanchulo with the Tombstone Piledriver.

After the match Urano passed a microphone over to Danshoku Dino. He told Guanchulo that he gained a lot of trust in him and thanked him for being with them. Guanchulo introduced himself to the fans one last time and thanked them for coming to the show. Finally the other wrestlers went up to Guanchulo and said one by one “Adios, amigo!”

Since Shun Miyatake hasn’t officially debuted yet, his name in the results will be followed by (Trainee) from now on, just like on the DDT website.

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 3” Results

May 17, 2014

smile-squash

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 3”, 17/05/2014
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Wall Of Takeshita (6:26).
2. Antonio Honda defeated Guanchulo with a Cradle (10:21).
3. King Of DDT Qualifying Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Tiger Driver (14:30).
4. Infomercial Match – Oscar Promotion Saki Akai Latest DVD “Beautiful Day”: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Saki Akai defeated Makoto Oishi, Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Akai pinned Nakazawa with a School Boy (12:13).
5. Kesiuke Ishii, Soma Takao, MIKAMI & Kazuki Hirata defeated Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Takao pinned Ihashi with a Diving Foot Stomp (10:44).
6. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Aja Kong ended in a No Contest (6:07).
7. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Akito submitted Takanashi with the Triangle Scorpion (14:39).

Akito’s first match teaming with HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano was a big success with a victory over Shuten-dōji. The new unit name for the trio is Smile Squash. After the match HARASHIMA told KUDO he will absolutely win the KO-D Openweight Title from him on 25th May. Urano and Akito then challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to an All Asia Tag Team Titles match. Amon Tsurumi stepped in and said he will negotiate with All Japan to make the match but warned he would not get an immediate answer. Ishii accepted the challenge and said the title match will happen.

Before the Love Triangle 3 Way match began, Danshoku Dino was seen leaving Aja Kong’s locker room, possibly attacking and eliminating her from the match. Shigehiro Irie was distraught when he found out but whatever Dino did to Kong did not work because she made it to the ring eventually. Dino demanded Irie to choose between him or Kong. Irie then elbowed him in the face. The match fell apart when Dino’s Lip Lock took out not one but two referees. Kazuki Hirata made his Magnum TOKYO entrance and took up the role of replacement referee. He was then knocked out by a Double Lip Lock from both Dino and Kong. The match was called off and Irie was left alone in the ring. He began to weep as he realised he he might have lost something important.

The Golden Rendezvous is no more. Gota Ihashi took the pinfall loss in the 8-Man Tag match and Kenny Omega blamed him afterwards. Ihashi was on the top turnbuckle ready to do a high risk move when his own partner Daisuke Sasaki shook the top rope, causing Ihashi to lose balance and fall to the mat. Omega told the both of them “You are all bad!” Kota Ibushi agreed. Ihashi quit the stable and immediately decided to team with Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Nakazawa asked Ihashi what he wants to do and Ihashi said he wants to stand out. They then sang “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen. After that they challenged Ibushi, Omega & Sasaki (who are now called the Golden Storm Riders) to a 6-Man Tag match on 29th May.

The Infomercial Match was all about promoting Saki Akai’s gravure DVD “Beautiful Day” which comes out on 30th May. Images from the DVD was shown on the big screen as the match went on. However Michael Nakazawa was jealous of Saki and her DVD so he made his own amateur gravure DVD two days ago. Whenever he took control of the match clips of his movie appeared on the screen instead of Akai.

DDT announced a new Theme Music Project. They are working with Sizuk Entertainment to produce new entrance songs for the roster. Konosuke Takeshita is the first person to get a new song and it debuted on today’s show.

Ibushi and Omega will not be at the next Saitama show on 8th June because they will be wrestling in New Japan. DDT are considering bringing in special guests to make up for their absence.

On yesterday’s All Japan show, Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie successfully defended their All Asia Tag Team Titles against Kento Miyahara & Kotaro Suzuki. On today’s All Japan show Masao Inoue pinned Jun Akiyama during a Battle Royal to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Akiyama pinned Inoue after the match to win it back. Looks like he wants to be the champion after all. DDT has invited whoever the champion will be to defend the belt in Shinjuku on 29th June.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 11/05/2014

595 Fans – Super No Vacancy

*V4 for The Golden Lovers.

The Golden Lovers retained their KO-D Tag Team Titles over Shuten-dōji in a brawl of a match. After the match Kenny Omega said that the trio of him, Kota Ibushi and Daisuke Sasaki will now be called the Golden Storm Riders.

Keisuke Ishii apologised for him and Shigehiro Irie not having the All Asia Tag Team Titles with them. All Japan currently has possession of their titles belts and Ishii was unable to get permission to bring them to Sapporo.

Kenichi Yamamoto was impressed with Sanshiro Takagi when they teamed up and won their match. So much so that he had an idea for the next time DDT returns to Hokkaido. Yamamoto wants Takagi to help him form a new Golden Cups unit. The Golden Cups were originally a group in WAR featuring Yamamoto, Yuji Anjo and Yoshihiro Takayama. Together the three invaded New Japan. Takagi accepted the offer He and Yamamoto together yelled “We Are Golden Cups!”

Danshoku Dino won the 4 Way Match when DJ Nira had his head shoved into Dino’s backside, forcing Nira to give up.

After wrestling for 25 minutes earlier in the afternoon, Michael Nakazawa was still feeling energetic and enthusiastic for his opening match with Daisuke Sasaki. The bell rang, Nakazawa yelled “Here we go Sapporo!” and Sasaki quickly locked hm in the Crossface Lock for the sudden submission victory. Amon Tsurumi called for an immediate rematch. Nakazawa was able to avoid the Crossface Lock and then covered himself in lotion to make his body slippy. The plan backfired when Nakazawa could not keep his grip for a German Suplex and Sasaki slipped away. Sasaki then grabbed Nakazawa’s loose tights and used them to apply the Crossface Lock to win a second time.

Takeshita wound up hurting his knee but had to fight Oishi again. He was about to submit Oishi with the Walls Of Takeshita when Dino ran into the ring and attacked Takeshita for the DQ. A chair was used often in the No DQ match and at one point Takeshita had Dino beat with a German Suplex but the referee was knocked unconscious. When Takeshita checked on the ref Dino rolled him over with the Gay-do Clutch. That was when the ref recovered and counted the pin, giving Dino the victory.

First up is Danshoku Dino Vs Konosuke Takeshita. Dino was originally began wrestling in a college club while Takeshita entered pro wrestling when he was still in high school.

Close buddies Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa are next up. They previously fought in a one match show back in February 2013. That match was a crazy Last Man Standing match that left both men battered and bruised. The last time they were in the ring together, Nakazawa was again beaten up pretty badly. By booking this match, Kenny is convinced DDT wants Nakazawa dead and he doesn’t understand why.

May 9, 2014

nakazawa-suzuki

DDT “SHINJUKU MAY 9TH DRAMA”, 09/05/2014

550 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Makoto Oishi defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Miracle Ecstasy (6:05).
2. MIKAMI, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hoshitango defeated Antonio Honda, DJ Nira & Guanchulo when Matsunaga pinned Guanchulo with a Back Drop (8:27).

5. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Ibushi pinned Hirata after the PK Heart (13:54).
6. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Times Fall Match: Masa Takanashi defeated Danshoku Dino (c) with a Leg Roll Clutch (13:48).
*Danshonu Dino fails in V2. Masa Takanashi becomes the 27th DDT Extreme Champion!
7. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when KUDO pinned Urano with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

Akito found himself at a crossroads now that he is out of the KO-D Openweight Title picture. He could have gone back to teaming with Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi but he instead decided to do something new to become more powerful. What that was he didn’t reveal until after the main event. He approached the victorious Shuten-dōji with a can of beer in his hand. But just when it looked like he was about to have a toast with them he instead sprayed the beer in Masa Takanashi’s face! Akito then walked over to HARASHIMA and said they could make many dreams come true if they teamed together. HARASHIMA welcomed him to the team and he told Yasu Urano it was pretty nifty that Akito wanted to join them.

The DDT Extreme Title was up for grabs in a 3 Times Fall Match. The goal of the match is to pin your opponent for three seconds in a row. The catch is it did not have to happen in the same pinning attempt. For example at the start of the match Masa Takanashi quickly cradled Danshoku Dino for a two count. If Takanashi pinned Dino again he would just need a one count to win since he would have scored 3 seconds in a row. However quickly afterwards Dino pinned Takanashi for a two count, so Dino’s pin score was set back to zero while Takanashi was now in danger of losing. Takanashi was able to pin Dino to win the champiosnhip with a straight three count (pun not intended) when he countered the Gay-do Clutch into a Leg Roll Clutch. The new Extreme Champion then “honored” the former champ by calling him a “dumb bastard” and an “ugly fucking loser”. Makoto Oishi came to Dino’s aid and challenged Takanashi to a title match. Amon Tsurumi booked the match for Nagoya on 25th May. Oishi then said he wanted it to be the return of the Idol Lumberjack Death Match! Takanashi accepted and said he would have Emi Sakura on his side. Oishi mentioned she’s too mature to count as an idol but whatever.

Michael Nakazawa had a mountain to climb as he took on the no nonsense badass Minoru Suzuki. Nakazawa was convinced he could win and tried his best, he even attempted to summon his fighting spirit by getting into a chop battle. Suzuki wasn’t impressed and easily trapped Nakazawa in different submission holds. Every time Nakazawa was put in a hold he yelled “Impossible!” and wanted to give up. But Suzuki didn’t want the match to end so soon and he let go of his opponent just so he could apply more submissions. Suzuki eventually choked out Nakazawa with a Sleeper and was going to do the Gotch-Style Piledriver until Nakazawa tapped out before he was lifted off his feet. Suzuki didn’t care and he lifted up Nakazawa for the move until Yukinori Matsui stepped in and stopped him. When Nakazawa regained consciousness he asked Suzuki if they could team together. Suzuki shook Nakazawa’s hand but refused to let go. If Nakazawa wants to team with him so much then he’ll do it! In three months time they will team together. During those three months he’ll be training very hard and he wants Nakazawa to do the same so by the time they team up Nakazawa won’t be what he is now but he will instead become a hybrid wrestler! Suzuki already ordered Nakazawa to begin his first training session by doing 100 push ups right there in the ring. Nakazawa complained but Suzuki yelled that he summoned the demon instructor and must do what he says. Nakazawa could only do 10 push ups before collapsing. It’s going to be a long road ahead for him.

The Falls Count Anywhere Match was chaos. First of all, Kazuki Hirata did not appear with his team mates when they entered the ring. The match began with Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi suffering a 3-on-2 Handicap disadvantage until Hirata finally appeared in the crowd dancing to Magnum TOKYO’s theme song. When he entered the ring, Owashi stopped the dancing by Shoulder Blocking his partner. Takagi dragged Kota Ibushi out of the ring and then attacked him with a kewpie doll. Ibushi defended himself by twisting Takagi’s arm over and over. Hirata threw Kenny Omega into a closing elevator and turned around thinking he was now gone. The elevator opened up and Kenny reappeared to School Boy Hirata for a nearfall. Takagi and Daisuke Sasaki brawled over to a place selling adult DVDs and they had a duel using the DVDs as swords. Ibushi got a bicycle!!! He cycled into Hirata’s crotch while Omega and Sasaki held him in place. A box of posters was then brought in and used to great effect. Ibushi did his best Steve Blackman impression and attacked Hirata with the rolled up posters. Omega then somehow used a poster to power up his Hadouken launching Hirata into Ibushi’s German Suplex. Omega then placed the cardboard box over Hirata’s head and with Sasaki performed the PK Heart to win the match. Afterwards Takagi talked about Minoru Suzuki training somebody as useless as Michael Nakazawa. Suzuki then walked out with Nakazawa and forced him to wheelbarrow down to the ring. Suzuki said he can turn a useless dickwad into a hybrid wrestler in three months. He then lifted up Nakazawa for a Gotch-Style Piledriver and forced him to do push ups from that position.

Danshoku Dino passed a message on to Guanchulo from his mother. Guanchulo wanted his mom to attend his final show for DDT on 20th May but according to her message she will be visiting China on that date. However, she will send another message that will be shown to Guanchulo on the 20th.

Shun Miyatake was again told he will not debut properly if he keeps losing so easily in his exhibition matches.

Akitoshi Saito will compete on the 25th May show. Danshoku Dino expressed interest in having a match with him that night.

The line-up for King Of DDT 2014 was revealed. The winner of the 16-man tournament gets a main event KO-D Openweight Title shot at Sumo Hall on 17th August. This year there will be three qualifying matches for tournament spots. Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Daisuke Sasaki, Akito, Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata and Tetsuya Endo will have to wrestle each other in matches that will take place on the 17th, 25th and 29th of May. The rest of the field are Makoto Oishi, Keisuke Ishii, Konosuke Takeshita, MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Yasu Urano, Yukio Sakaguchi, Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi and the loser of KUDO Vs HARASHIMA. Shigehiro Irie will not enter because he has a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Cherry announced the main event of her 10th Anniversary show on 1st June will be her against Aja Kong! They previously had a singles match on 13th November 2011 for Cherry’s “FANTASY ILLUSION” show. Cherry wrestled that match with a broken jaw so she was given a special rule where Jaiko Ishikawa was allowed to interfere and fight Kong. This time Cherry is in full health and she wants to face Kong under normal circumstances. Cherry also decided she will team with Danshoku Dino for her mixed tag match against Ladybeard & Saki Akai in Union on 18th May.

Antonio Honda announced a new match for his Anniversary show also on 1st June. It will be HARASHIMA, Riho & DJ Nira Vs Yuji Hino, Emi Sakura and The Great Kojika.
