2. 4 Vs 4 Vs 1 Irregular 3 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata, MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Makoto Oishi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, DJ Nira & Kazuhiro Tamura and Michael Nakazawa by Referee Stoppage when Ishikawa used the Giant Venom Arm on Nakazawa (8:43).
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Emi Sakura defeated Guanchulo, Ivan Markov & Bonnie when Urano pinned Guanchulo with the Tombstone Piledriver (13:15).

6. KUDO defeated Masa Takanashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:40).

The spotlight today was on Masa Takanashi for his 10th Anniversary Show in Edogawa. The main event was Takanashi and KUDO squaring off with KUDO earning the win at the end. Takanashi apologised for his bad form during his end of show speech and he thanked KUDO for assuming the unpleasant role of being his opponent. Takanashi also brought his parents into the ring and they gave him a cake to celebrate his 10 years. Takanashi said he lives in a world of his own, he intends to live there forever and he thanked everyone for letting him exist in this ring.

Emi Sakura was upset with HARASHIMA for no longer being a Triple Crown champion like herself. They still posed with their titles in the ring together after the match. Ivan Markov meanwhile turned on Guanchulo for losing the match by giving him the Neck Hanging Bomb.

By request of everyone involved in the match, the Battle Royal turned into a 3 Way Team match with all of the wrestlers teaming with whoever they want. Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata, MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa were on one team. Makoto Oishi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, DJ Nira & Kazuhiro Tamura were on another team. Nobody wanted to team with Michael Nakazawa so he had to wrestle on his own. Nakazawa actually did pretty well given the circumstances. He gave everyone the Ultimate Venom Arm two by two until it was down to himself and Shuji Ishikawa, who was wearing a towel and holding the pair of shorts he was originally wrestling in. They had a showdown and Ishikawa got Nakazawa with the Giant Venom Arm first, causing the referee to step in and award the win to Shuji’s team.

DDT “MASA TAKANASHI TRIUMPH ANNIVERSARY RETURN” Results

June 15, 2012

DDT “MASA TAKANASHI TRIUMPH ANNIVERSARY RETURN”, 15/06/2012
Edogawa Eastern Friend Hall
399 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma defeated Hoshitango & Tetsuya Endo when Soma pinned Endo with the Boma Ye (8:55).
2. Emi Sakura defeated DJ Nira with a Mexican Surfboard (4:26).
3. HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki pinned Oishi with the NOW or NEVER (8:32).
4. Shuji Ishikawa, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Kenny Omega, Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa when Ishikawa pinned Nakazawa with the Splash Mountain (11:26).
5. Kota Ibushi & Danshoku Dino defeated Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda when Ibushi pinned Honda with the Sit Down Last Ride (16:36).
6. Masa Takanashi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Avalanche Takatonic (23:34).

Even though Masa Takanashi is from Ichikawa City in Chiba, this show in Edogawa was treated as his triumphant homecoming in a broad sense. The posters advertising the show also had Masa posing with championship belts, none of which he currently has.

Masa won his big match in the main event, defeating Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Avalanche version of his Takatonic finisher. Masa once again fell victim to the dreaded Axe Guillotine Driver, a critical move which has been used in the past to counter the Takatonic. Yet he was able to kick out of the pin. He even kicked out of the Tiger Driver and avoided the Tiger Driver ’91.

After the match, Takanashi apologised to the fans for false advertisement. He admitted that the show should have been advertised for another special occasion, the 9th Anniversary of Shuji Ishikawa’s wrestling debut! Shuji had his first match in DDT on 15th June, 2003 against Super Uchu Power. Shuji was invited down to the ring while the fans chanted his name. They also invited Daichi Kakimoto into the ring since he is also approaching the 9th Anniversary of his debut. To mark the special occassion, all three performed a Triple Dropkick on Ken Ohka.

KUDO & Makoto Oishi suffered a minor setback by losing a match just one day before they challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Championship. Luckily for them one of the champions also lost today as Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda fell to Kota Ibushi & Danshoku Dino. Speaking of that match, Dino promised that it was going to be a very serious match between the two teams. Instead, by the end of the match everyone had the back of their tights pulled down and their rear ends exposed. Afterwards, Dino simply told the crowd “That was our serious match. Thank you.”
