– KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (10:58).
*V6 for Shigehiro Irie. Daisuke Sasaki cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Shigehiro Irie now has the record for the most KO-D Openweight Title defences in a single reign thanks to back to back defences in Korakuen Hall tonight. First off, Irie’s friend and Drift stablemate Keisuke Ishii cashed in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract as scheduled. Takao Soma said in the pre-match video he was worried that his two friends knew each other so well something bad could happen because of it. He chose no side by standing in the neutral corner outside the ring for the entire match. Irie defeated Ishii but had little time to rest as Daisuke Sasaki (who according to himself was not scheduled to be on the show due to injury) suddenly appeared and cashed in his contract for an immediate title match. Irie showed he had the heart of a champion and was able to defeat Sasaki to keep the championship. Then Yuji Okabayashi arrived with his contract and told Irie to “polish the beautiful belt” because he will cash in his contract next month at the 21/7 Korakuen show. That’s if he does not lose the contract to somebody else before then of course.

That wasn’t the end of the KO-D Title planning. Irie requested a KO-D Title defence against his mentor Sanshiro Takagi and for it to be held in Nagoya. Irie noted that Takagi beat him in a singles match back in January and also beat him in a tag team match the last time they wrestled in Nagoya, the city where he began his wrestling career. Tsurumi Amon said it was impossible to book the match. Takagi wanted it and said he would forfeit his spot in the King Of DDT tournament to make the match happen. Amon backed down and booked the match for Nagoya Telepia Hall on 6th June. Once all of that stuff was over with, Keisuke Ishii reappeared to congratulate and shake hands with his friend Irie.

The Monster Army’s counter attack on the Golden Rendezvous was a success. They are once again the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi threw out a challenge to the new champions and gave a hint that their third partner is somebody who hates Antonio Honda. The title match is booked for the 21/7 Korakuen show.

Yukio Sakaguchi’s younger brother Kenji Sakaguchi will compete at “PROGRESS AND HARMONY OF WRESTLING” the first of DDT’s two shows in Sumo Hall this year on 17/8. Kenji is a former soccer player turned actor. The main event for the show will be Kota Ibushi Vs Danshoku Dino.

The newest Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion is a painting created by Akihiro Miwa. The Iron Man Battle Royal will be held again in Sumo Hall for the “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013” show on 18/8.

The King of DDT 1st Round draw was held in the ring after the show. The matches are Kenny Omega Vs MIKAMI, Takao Soma Vs X (Takagi’s vacant spot), Konosuke Takeshita Vs Masa Takanashi, Kota Ibushi Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi, Danshoku Dino Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Hikaru Sato Vs Akito and HARASHIMA Vs KUDO.

Not sure if it was curiosity or an insult but Guanchuro asked Tetsuya Endo if he is a virgin during the dark match. The bout was Aggressor’s last match in Japan for the time being.

Full Card For “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, King of DDT 2013, Kanazawa Matches

June 17, 2013

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, 23/06/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & Tetsuya Endo Vs Guanchulo & Aggressor
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
2. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & FUMA
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Yoshihiko (c) Vs MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Takao Soma Vs DJ Nira Vs Toru Owashi

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Current Right To Challenge Contract Holders: Keisuke Ishii (cashes in at this show), Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Okabayashi.

The Monster Army are launching the counter attack to reclaim the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. This time they have added heavy artillery in the form of Hoshitango taking Daisuke Sasaki’s place. Could Sasaki’s absence on the card be a hint that he will cash in his contract?

The 2013 KING OF DDT tournament will take place on three shows. Round 1 will be held at Shinjuku FACE on 28th June, Round 2 will be in Nagoya Telepia Hall on 6th July and the remaining rounds will be held in Umeda Nasci Hall the day after. The winner of the tournament will get a main event KO-D Title shot at DDT’s biggest event of the yeat, the 18/8 Sumo Hall show. The entries this year are Sanshiro Takagi, Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, HARASHIMA, KUDO, MIKAMI, Danshoku Dino, Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi, Takao Soma, Akito, Konosuke Takeshita, Antonio Honda, Hikaru Sato and Yukio Sakaguchi. The first round draw will be held straight after the 23/6 Korakuen show.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN FUKUOKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORIMON~”, 16/06/2013
Fukuoka Make Utopia
403 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Lucha Libre Rules: Mentai☆Kid & Toru Owashi defeated MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi when Owashi pinned Takanashi with La Magistral Cradle (6:45).
2. Real Lucha Offer Match: Jiraiya, RANMA & Huracan Marino (w/ Van Vert Jack) defeated Azul Inferno, Van Vert Negro & VENGADOR★13 when Jiraiya submitted Negro with the Palo Special (13:12).
3. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki by Disqualification when Honda attacked the referee (10:59).
4. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Yuto Aijima, Azul Dragon & Michael Nakazawa when HARASHIMA pinned Nakazawa with the Somato (15:49).
5. Rings or Retainer Supplanting His Lord! Good Battle Plentifully Heisei!: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Batten Tamagawa with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (12:04).
6. Keisuke Ishii defeated Akito with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (11:18).
7. Hakata Specialty 3 Way Super Tag Battle: Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega and Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (14:51).

Keisuke Ishii is now all clear to cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract at Korakuen Hall on 23/6. Tsurumi Amon told Ishii and Shigehiro Irie after the main event that their KO-D Openweight Title match will be the first time he will see two wrestlers from the same young generation fight over the championship. Both champion and challenger said they will win because they will be at their best at Korakuen.

By winning the main event, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma were rewarded with a 10,000 yen meal ticket for the local mall.

Antonio Honda saved Daisuke Sasaki from losing his Right To Challenge contract to Yukio Sakaguchi in their tag team match. Sakaguchi had Sasaki in the Choke Sleeper and was about to win by ref stoppage when Honda ran in and attacked Daisuke Kiso, instantly getting his team disqualified but preventing the contract from switching hands. Honda also taunted Sakaguchi during the match by impersonating Antonio Inoki and yelling “Sakaguchi! Come!” whenever Yukio hit him with a Leg Kick.

Mentai☆Kid replaced the injured Tetsuya Endo in the opening match. Toru Owashi was not happy with the choice. The tag team match was fought under Lucha Libre rules and Owashi succeeded with his new partner. He even got into the Lucha spirit a little bit by using La Magistral Cradle to win the match.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KOKURA” Results

June 14, 2013

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KOKURA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORI KASHIWA RICE~”, 14/06/2013
Fukuoka Kokura Gymnasium
282 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Masa Takanashi defeated Isamu Taniguchi with a Crucifix Pin (6:33).
2. DDT x Gamushara Pro Wrestling Collaboration: MIKAMI, Sexy Rosie & Nicholas Jolly Imanaka defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Dynamite Kyushu & Tetsuo when MIKAMI pinned Kyushu with the 450 Splash (10:23).
3. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Danshoku Dino & Michael Nakazawa when Sasaki submitted Nakazawa with the Crippler Crossface (11:20).
4. HARASHIMA & Rion Mizuki defeated Akito & Kubo Kibo when Mizuki pinned Kibo with a German Suplex (10:14).
5. Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Makoto Oishi when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (9:26).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) defeated KUDO & Yasu Urano when Sakaguchi submitted Urano with the Choke Sleeper (17:19).
*V2 for Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi.

Tetsuya Endo was pulled off the show after he suffered a mild concussion at yesterday’s show in Kumamoto when Hikaru Sato kicked him in the head. A lot of the undercard was changed due to this. Michael Nakazawa was upset at the card change because his handicap match with Danshoku Dino against Daisuke Sasaki was changed into a tag team match, removing any advantage he would have had to win the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract from Sasaki. Dino was also upset that he now had to wrestle with Nakazawa in a norml tag team match since Nakazawa is so mentally weak Dino might as well be wrestling on his own.

With a second successful KO-D Tag Team Title defence in the bag, Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi were quick to pick their next challengers. Hikaru nominated Konosuke Takeshita & Akito as their next opponents. Akito accepted the challenge and the match is set for 23rd June in Korakuen Hall.

Keisuke Ishii reminded Shigehiro Irie that they are two shows away until he cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. After today’s show, Ishii now only has to defeat Akito in Fukuoka Make Utopia on Sunday to keep his contract and then he will be all clear to cash it in at Korakuen.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KUMAMOTO” Results

June 13, 2013

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KUMAMOTO ~DRAMATIC DREAM VERMICELLI SOUP~”, 13/06/2013
Kumamoto Prefecture Hall
184 Fans

1. MIKAMI defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Swanton Bomb (7:35).
2. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Akito & Tetsuya Endo when Sato pinned Endo with a High Kick (9:01).
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuto Aijima defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Aijima pinned Honda with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:31).
4. Crazy Independent Tag Team Match: Kota Ibushi & TAKA Michinoku defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ibushi pinned Oishi with the Sit Down Last Ride (9:00).
5. DDT Extreme Title – Two Count Penalty Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Masa Takanashi with a Dragon Suplex (17:08).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.
6. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma when KUDO pinned Soma with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:10).

The rules for the DDT Extreme Title between Kenny Omega and Masa Takanashi match was a penalty was put in place whenever a pinfall resulted in a two count. A new penalty replaced the old one after every two count. After the first nearfall, Kenny had his arms tied together. Next nearfall, Kenny had to wear a blindfold. When Masa got his first two count, both wrestlers then had to wear a blindfold. The audience helped guide them towards each other but they still had trouble, mostly when Kenny threw Masa towards the ropes and then did a Dropkick into thin air. Masa then attacked both Daisuke Kiso and Michael Nakazawa at ringside, thinking they were both Kenny. They fled outside the ring and upon hearing the noise, Kenny dove at them through the ropes while still blindfolded. With the referee down, Masa took off his blindfold, stole Kiso’s referee shirt, put it on himself and guided Kenny towards Kiso. Kenny pinned Kiso, Masa counted to three and then he attacked Kenny as he was celebrating what he thought was his victory. Yukinori Matsui ran down to the ring to sort out the confusion but that led to him and Kiso officiating the match at the same time. Each ref called a two count when Kenny and Masa exchanged pinfall attempts so they decided both wrestlers had to have their hands restrained and their ankles bound together. Omega finally won when he was somehow able to give Takanashi a Dragon Suplex for the three count.

Hikaru Sato is considering giving a KO-D Tag Team Title shot to some younger wrestlers. He and Yukio Sakaguchi will face Akito & Tetsuya Endo and they will judge if their opponents are good enough to fight for the championship. Konosuke Takeshita was also brought up but Sato thinks he is not entitled to get an opportunity.

6. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Yuto Aijima, Azul Dragon & Michael Nakazawa
7. Keisuke Ishii Vs Akito

As explained below, the main event determines who will face Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title at Korakuen Hall later this month.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, 23/06/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Yoshihiko (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The main event will change if Keisuke Ishii loses his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract at any show before then. The contract is the only claim Ishii has to a title shot and he has confirmed he will cash it in at Korakuen Hall. Between now and then he risks losing the contract to either a member of Ura-Shima-Kudo, a member of the Golden Rendezvous or Akito. If Akito beats Ishii, he will also cash it in at Korakuen Hall and take on Irie for the KO-D Title.

Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto are scheduled to wrestle on the show, most likely teaming together.

The first round draw for this year’s King Of DDT tournament will take place in Korakuen Hall on 23rd June.

Keisuke Ishii Vs Akito is booked for the show on 16th June. This is the last DDT event before the Korakuen show. So if Ishii still has his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract then the winner of this match will most likely cash it in at Korakuen. In other Right To Challenge news, Kazuki Hirata won the contract back from the Gatoh Move group.

Daisuke Sasaki will miss the 23/6 Korakuen show to recover from a knee ligament injury. He will still wrestle at the shows he is advertised for before then.
