DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN HIROSHIMA ~ DRAMATIC DREAM TOUKASAN”, 01/03/2014
Hiroshima Industrial Hall West Exhibition Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – New York Rules: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Much like the KO-D Openweight Division, there has not been a strong contender for the DDT Extreme Title lately. Danshoku Dino stepped up and challenged HARASHIMA for a title shot in his home prefecture of Hiroshima. Dino wants the match to be under New York Rules, an idea he got when he wrestled MEN’S Teioh back in 2007. Under New York Rules you must kiss your opponent while pinning him to win. HARASHIMA accepted the rules and said he will go through special training for the match. He will go into the woods to search for a hibernating bear to kiss. He will then build a snowman and use that for more intense kissing training. When he watched Dino wrestle MEN’S Teioh all those years ago, he felt a chill down his spine. But he knows he cannot back down now and will train hard to beat Dino.

package-for-amon

During the announcement of the match, a courier approached Amon Tsurumi claiming to have a package he needed to sign for. But just when Tsurumi was about to sign it, HARASHIMA noticed something was wrong and took the piece of paper from him. The paper turned out to be a contract for the HARASHIMA Vs Masa Takanashi KO-D Openweight Title match on 23rd February. According to the contract, the match would be fought under handicap rules with HARASHIMA needing to pin Takanashi for five seconds to win while Takanashi would only need to pin HARASHIMA for one second. Tsurumi caught the courier and she was revealed to be Sayaka Obihiro!

Takanashi entered the room to rescue his friend while Tsurumi yelled at him for trying to trick him into signing another contract. But Takanashi had a backup plan, he had the key for DDT’s ring truck! Tsurumi began to panic and asked if Takanashi was going to sell off the truck, the ring, the sound system or even the chairs. Takanashi said he was found something more important than any of those things, the championship belts! He was going to steal the belts and become champion without having to fight anybody. Takanashi began taunting Tsurumi until HARASHIMA simply grabbed the keys and gave them back to Daisuke Kiso, who explained they were stolen from him while he was stuck in Yokohama yesterday. Their plan foiled, Takanashi and Obihiro needed a distraction so Obihiro bit her tongue and Takanashi yelled for an ambulance as they fled.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN FUJI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUKENAPORITAN~” Results

February 16, 2014

goldenlovers-moonsault

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN FUJI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUKENAPORITAN~”, 16/02/2014
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe
264 Fans – No Vacancy

1. MIKAMI defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Swanton Bomb (9:51).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi when Takagi pinned Ihashi with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (5:24).
3. Antonio Honda defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Octopus Hold (7:40).
4. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Now Or Never (13:57).
5. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ibushi pinned Oishi after the PK Mind Ω (12:23).
6. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Masa Takanashi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (14:54).

The show was lucky to go ahead when snowy conditions around Japan prevented the DDT ring truck from travelling to Shizuoka. Thankfully DDT got a replacement ring from a local promotion called Numazu Pro Wrestling. The Golden Lovers held an autograph session to make up for the show running late while the new ring was being constructed.

Masa Takanashi has not been able to present himself as a strong contender for HARASHIMA and today’s show proved that. The KO-D Champion pinned his next challenger in the main event. KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi continued their aggressive fighting with each other in the same match.

Today also happened to be Makoto Oishi’s 35th birthday and his mother was in the audience to watch her son team with Danshoku Dino against the Golden Lovers. She got a hug and kiss on the cheek from the Golden Lovers after the match.

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2014 ~WINTER~” Results

February 11, 2014

masa-kudo-yukio-shima

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2014 ~WINTER~”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
364 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Lucha Libre Rules: Daisuke Sasaki, Guanchulo & Anarko Montaña defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki submitted Hirata with the Campana (9:42).
2. 4 Way Match: Hoshitango defeated MIKAMI, Gota Ihashi and DJ Nira when Hoshitango pinned Ihashi after the Swanton Bomb from MIKAMI (3:55).
3. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi & Akito when Soma pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (9:36).
4. Danshoku Dino defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Danshoku Destroyer (8:19).
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yasu Urano (c) defeated Tetsuya Endo with a Cradle (13:00).
*V1 for Yasu Urano.
6. Kenny Omega defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the One-Winged Angel (18:04).
7. Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & KUDO when Takanashi pinned KUDO after a Knee To The Face from Sakaguchi (13:16).

Call it luck or fortunate circumstances but Masa Takanashi pinned KUDO in the main event to send a message to HARASHIMA. Sure, Yukio Sakaguchi was the one who knocked out KUDO with a knee to the face but Takanashi was the one who pinned him. KUDO got a measure of revenge when he struck Takanashi with a Spin Kick during the post-match promos. KUDO then brawled with Sakaguchi as the show drew to a close.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga tried to summon the powers of Daniel Bryan by getting the fans to chant “Yes! Yes!” during his match with Kenny Omega. Unfortunately the One-Winged Angel put a stop to that harder than Rey Mysterio’s entrance at this year’s Royal Rumble.

Team Dream Futures built some momentum for their upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot when Soma Takao pinned Makoto Oishi. But that momentum was stopped one match later when Danshoku Dino defeated Keisuke Ishii.

Guanchulo’s friend from Chile turned out to be Anarko Montaña from MAX Lucha Libre. Montaña wrestles in a Robin Mask mask and a tartan kilt. Guanchulo & Montaña have sided with the Monster Army for the time being. The opening match was fought under Lucha Libre rules after Sasaki’s team demanded it. Ring announcer Rikiya Shindo was forced to be the second referee with Daisuke Kiso, a decision that angered Yukinori Matsui because he wasn’t picked and he also had to hand over his referee shirt. When the match ended, Matsui got his shirt back by force.

It was announced that Konosuke Takeshita passed his entry exam into the Nippon Sport Science University. To celebrate, he will go through a three match series beginning at the 23/2 Korakuen Hall show. His first match will be himself and Tetsuya Endo against Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga.

Former DDT wrestler Daichi Kakimoto announced he was leaving his job as store manager for the DDT Drop Kick Bar in Shinjuku. Isami Kodaka will become the new store manager next month. Kodaka said he will make Drop Kick become a fun place for people to drink happily.

DDT “YAROZ PART 1” Results

February 9, 2014

assholezpart1

DDT “YAROZ PART 1”, 09/02/2014
Shin-kiba 1st RING
183 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Solidly Single Match: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Daichi Kazato with the Combine (8:16).
2. White Doe & Aoki Wolves – 3 Way Embarrassment Match: Misaki Ohata defeated Antonio Honda and Seiya Morohashi when Ohata made Morohashi say “I’m embarrassed!” (8:05).
3. YaroZ Hardcore Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Kankuro Hoshino with the Splash Mountain onto a chair (12:01).
4. Talk To The Fist – Boxing Match: Gota Ihashi Vs Kengo Mashimo ended in a No Contest (4R).
5. Clash At Last! Sudden Realisation Of The Forbiddon: Keizo Matsuda defeated Danshoku Dino with a Tombstone Piledriver (9:36).
6. Value Of Man Is Not A Plane! BOYZ Vs YaroZ: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (17:29).

Turns out I was using a non-vulgar translation of the show name and this show was indeed vulgar. AssholeZ it is, then.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Amon Tsurumi were originally supposed to host the show but they were mysteriously absent. Taking their place were guest MCs Brother Tommy and Brother Mon. They explained this was a show for bastards, by bastards. They wanted to encourage everyone wrestling to unleash their inner bastard just for today.

The main event saw Team YaroZ facing Team BOYZ with the latter being uncomfortable with the surroundings. Makoto Oishi complained about a stinking smell coming from the audience. He also called his opponents ugly, fat and old. Shigehiro Irie was very upset at being called old. He got his revenge by pinning Oishi with the Flying Sausage.

Keizo Matsuda discovered his Danshoku side during his victory over Danshoku Dino. While at first overpowered by his opponent, Matsuda pulled down his tights to reveal he was wearing Danshoku tights underneath. He then used his newly found Danshoku ability to Lip Lock Dino and then pin him with the Tombstone. After the match Matsuda got his hands on some fans in the front row. He and Dino then did a Danshoku version of the Steiner Brothers pose on the stage. Brother Mon called it the birth of the Japanese Steiner Brothers.

The boxing match between Gota Ihashi and Kengo Mashimo was set for 45 one minute rounds with Yuzuki Aikawa providing some bouncy eye candy as the round girl. Aikawa however appeared in her regular everyday clothing because she had other things to do today. Ihashi and Mashimo had a slugfest but everybody noticed that everytime a round ended, Aikawa would remove a piece of clothing before holding the next round card. So Yukinori Matsui did everything he could to make sure the match continued even though Ihashi and Mashimo were beating the tar out of each other. At the end of the third round Aikawa promised to reveal her swimsuit if the fight made it to Round 5. Mashimo knocked out Ihashi in the 4th Round but Matsui counted as slowly as he could. Mashimo got sick of the stalling and said he was going home. With Mashimo leaving and Ihashi still unconcious, Brother Mon had no other choice but to call off the match. The arena broke out into chaos until Aikawa decided to strip down to her Stars & Stripes swimsuit much to the excitement of every man in the building.

Both Shuji Ishikawa and Kankuro Hoshino wrestled their hardcore match wearing fundoshi instead of their usual gear.

The Embarrassment Match involved Antonio Honda, Seiya Morohashi and Misaki Ohata trying to humiliate each other to win. The first person to make another wrestler yell “I’m embarrassed!” would be crowned the winner. At first they all tried to strip each other but soon Honda brought in a whip. Ohata got rid of Honda and whipped Morohashi’s bare backside enough to make him say he was embarrassed. Brother Tommy said afterwards that it was a terrible match.

A main event of burly men versus pretty boys, two tough assholes in a hardcore match and an opener mocking the relationship status of both participants. As far as I can tell this is an anti-BOYZ show.

4. Value Of Man Is Not A Plane! BOYZ Vs YaroZ: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie Vs HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo

As best as I can tell, this is DDT parodying their own BOYZ spin-off brand. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will be the special ring announcer for the show.

The boxing match will be only one round but that round has a 45 minute time limit. Yuzuki Aikawa will be the ring girl.

2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Aja Kong (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Toma Sakao
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles Match: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
4. KO-D Openweight Title Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

DDT’s eternal underdog has gotten himself a KO-D Openweight Title match. Despite a poor record preventing him from earning a title shot normally, Masa Takanashi got his friend Emi Sakura to trick Amon Tsurumi into signing the contract to make the match official.

Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega are going to face a team unlike any other in wrestling today. The Brahman Brothers have terrified many wrestlers, referees and fans alike with their antics. Expect insects, slime and maybe a decapitated animal head or two.

February 2, 2014

feet-only-deathmatch

DDT “GALAXY EXPLOSION IN NAGOYA 2014”, 02/02/2014
Nagoya Telepia Hall
550 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kengo Takai defeated Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Guanchulo when Takai pinned Guanchulo with the Dera HOF Bomb (11:13).
2. MIKAMI & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when MIKAMI pinned Nakazawa with a Lariat (0:07).
2a. MIKAMI & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when MIKAMI pinned Nakazawa with a School Boy (6:46).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito defeated KUDO & Tetsuya Endo when Akito submitted Endo with the Triangle Scorpion (12:48).
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when Omega pinned Kodaka after the PK Mind γ (14:01).
*V1 for The Golden Lovers.
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yasu Urano (c) defeated Masa Takanashi with the Tombstone Piledriver (9:57) (Special Referee: Amon Tsurumi).
*V1 for Yasu Urano.
6. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Takao pinned Dino with the Gin And Tonic (11:11).
7. DDT Extreme Title – Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii 2-1 (13:48).
7a. Feet Only Death Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Somato (5:01).
7b. Cliff Death Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated HARASHIMA with a Frankensteiner from the apron to the floor (7:27)
7c. 5 Count Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Somato (13:48).
*V4 for HARASHIMA.

HARASHIMA overcame some odd handicaps to defeat Keisuke Ishii in today’s main event. With the DDT Extreme Title on the line, the match was 2 out of 3 Falls with each fall having a different stipulation. Fall 1 had both wrestlers compete with their hands taped to the side of their bodies. Fortunately for both men, their respective finishers did not need use of their arms. But it was HARASHIMA who dodged the Kneel Kick and flattened Ishii with the Somato to win the first round. Fall 2 was a Cliff Death Match as chosen by Ishii, who is a big fan of spots where you throw a wrestler from the apron to the floor. This round went quick because they immediately went to the apron to achieve their goal. Ishii won through with a Frankensteiner, sending HARASHIMA crashing onto the floor outside. Amon Tsurumi announced the final fall would be won when somebody is pinned for five seconds. Ishii came close to victory with a Tiger Suplex and Kneel Kick both getting four count nearfalls. The Somato once again proved to be the difference maker and HARASHIMA kept his championship.

Masa Takanashi had two reasons he needed to beat Yasu Urano. The first was to get back his Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the second was a win over Urano would make him No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. Amon Tsurumi originally refused to give Takanashi a shot at HARASHIMA and made himself the referee to insure it would not happen. Tsurumi constantly got in the way to ruin Takanashi’s momentum and Urano eventually won the match. After the match Amon asked if Takanashi wanted to give up chasing after the title and he sadly said yes.

However, Takanashi showed up at the end of the show challenging HARASHIMA to a KO-D Title match. He even had a contract signed by Tsurumi granting him the match. Tsurumi said it was fake until Takanashi showed him a video he recorded a few days ago. In the video Tsurumi was seen drinking lots of beer with Emi Sakura and Sayaka Obihiro from Gatoh Move. Sakura handed a sheet of paper to a drunk Tsurumi and asked him to sign it, which he did. That piece of paper turned out to be a contract that allowed Masa Takanashi to face HARASHIMA in a KO-D Title match at Korakuen Hall on 23rd February! Back in the arena, Tsurumi apologised to HARASHIMA for what happened but the champion welcomes the challenge.

The Golden Lovers can now without a doubt call themselves the KO-D Tag Team Champions after beating the previous title holders. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto took their defeat gracefully and shook hands with Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega while appealing for one more match. They also said they have now graduated from DDT during a backstage interview. Ibushi & Omega now have to prepare for a very different team, the Brahman Brothers! They were shown a video of the Brahmans challenging them to a match but the way they spoke was difficult to understand. Kenny asked what were they talking about? Ibushi simply said “Insects.” The Golden Lovers Vs Brahman Brothers will take place on 23/2.

KUDO Vs Yukio Sakaguchi was booked for 23/2 after they had to be pulled apart at the end of Match #3.
