enzui-diving-double-knee

If you were expecting HARASHIMA to go on another lengthy KO-D Openweight Title run, prepare to be surprised. KUDO has kicked his way to the top instead. The Shuten-dōji leader is one of the few to win the KO-D Title with a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract cash in. He countered the Somato with a high leaping Double Knee Drop stopping HARASHIMA in mid-air. He also dodged the Swan Dive Somato and stuck HARASHIMA with Buzzsaw and Back Spin Kicks for a few nearfalls. KUDO sealed the deal with the Diving Double Knee Drop to the back of HARASHIMA’s head as the champ was on all fours followed by the regular Diving Double Knee Drop for the finish.

ohka-appears

Ken Ohka and Yumehito Imanari suddenly appeared during KUDO’s victory toast. Ohka had his own Right To Challenge contract in possession. Ohka congratulated KUDO and pointed to his contract. Ohka said in Ganbare☆Wrestling he works hard everyday to achieve his goal of turning it into a major wrestling league. Tonight is not an appropriate time to cash in but the warning was clear. Ohka is going after the title for Ganpuro! KUDO wasn’t bothered by the threat and said tonight the Ebisuko Tavern will serve him its best wine to celebrate his championship win!

miyatake-tablets

Suguru Miyatake consumed some mysterious tablets to go with his usual energy drink in a bid to boost his performance during the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles Match. It gave him enough power to Lariat each Team Drift member a bunch of times and also the strength to Body Slam Shigehiro Irie. But he was stopped dead by Keisuke Ishii’s Kneel Kick.

mikami-ishikawa

Shuji Ishikawa is confident that he and MIKAMI can beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 14th June. Ishikawa is used to wrestling the champs but they are not used to wrestling MIKAMI.

new-t2hide

The T2Hide audition turned out to be an 8-Man Tag Match. Those who impressed Sanshiro Takagi and Kazuki Hirata enough would be accepted. The two American participants Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis fared well and the time came for dancing they were there with Hirata step for step. One of them missed a Coast To Coast Diving Headbutt but the attempt still impressed Takagi. He accepted both Sparks & Ellis into T2Hide after the match and said they are probably better and more interesting than Hirata.

mizuki-watase

DDT introduced Mizuki Watase of the comedy duo Tenori Tiger as their newest trainee. Mizuki said it has been his dream since elementary school to become a pro wrestler. His goal is to become a wrestler while continuing his career as an entertainer. He hopes to have his debut match as soon as possible.

Genichiro Tenryu was announced to compete at this year’s Sumo Hall show on 23rd August!

Dick Togo made an appearance to announce his new venture New Vietnam Pro Wrestling. He has opened up a wrestling school in Vietnam and is aiming to hold its first shows at the end of August.

Isami Kodaka and the Dropkick Bar are organising Tavern Wrestling shows over the next couple of months in the Wrestle Fighter Museum and Shin-kiba. Similar to the Beer Garden series, the shows are all about fans getting to drink loads of beer while watching live wrestling.

Soma Takao announced he will spend all of June competing exclusively in All Japan Pro Wrestling. This means he will not be wrestling in the King Of DDT tournament. Takao explained that he wants to improve his skill and learn how to wrestle in a different environment.

The King Of DDT 2015 1st Round was determined by lottery after the show. The matches are Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Makoto Oishi Vs Hiroshi Fukuda, Akito Vs Masa Takanashi, Konosuke Takeshita Vs Antonio Honda, either Ryota Nakatsu or Kota Umeda Vs Daisuke Sasaki (Nakatsu Vs Umeda takes place in DNA on 4th June), Kota Ibushi Vs Kazuki Hirata, Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazusada Higuchi and Yasu Urano Vs Shigehiro Irie. The 1st Round takes place in Kasukabe Hall on 6th June. The 2nd Round on 14th June is in Osaka and will be Winner #1 Vs Winner #2, Winner #3 Vs Winner #4 and so on.

The 2015 Beer Garden schedule in Shin-kiba 1st RING is DDT on 1st August, DNA and DDT doubleshot on 2nd August, Team Drift on 3rd August, T2Hide on 4th August, Smile Squash on 5th August, Happy Motel on 6th August, Shuten-dōji on 7th August, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Danshoku Dino/Super Sasadango Machine doubleshot on 8th August and the final night is DDT on the 9th August.

Sapporo will get a taste of Beer Garden wrestling at the end of the annual weekend of Sapporo shows held by DDT, Big Japan and K-Dojo. And of course that’s not the only co-promoted show those companies will have this year…

“NEW YEAR’S EVE WRESTLING 2014”, 31/12/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Unification! Three Company Powerhouse Tournament:

Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka
Ryuji Ito & Jaki Numazawa
Kankuro Hoshino & Masato Inaba
Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazuki Hashimoto
HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi
Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo
Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
Kengo Mashimo & Tank Nagai
Saburo Inematsu & Ryuichi Sekine
Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi
Sanshiro Takagi & Abdullah Kobayashi
Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
Yuji Hino & Yuji Okabayashi
Daisuke Sekimoto & Danshoku Dino
TAKA Michinoku & X

The three companies return to Korakuen Hall on New Year’s Eve for the annual big bash. This year’s show is built around a one night tag team tournament. 16 teams compete with special rules in effect to ensure the matches are lightning quick. Every match in the first two rounds will have a 10 minute time limit. If time runs out the match goes to sudden death and will end with a one count pinfall. The semi final has the same rules but with a 15 minute time limit. The final has no time limit. There will be a playoff tree for the first two rounds but who faces who in the semi finals will be determined by a lottery.

The rules are similar to the singles tournament held last year. Sanshiro Takagi joked that next year they could do a trios tournament and continue adding an extra team member every year. TAKA Michinoku has not decided on a tag team partner yet.

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – DDT FINAL DAY” Results

August 2, 2014

beer-garden-2014

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – DDT FINAL DAY”, 02/08/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
661 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Akito & Tetsuya Endo defeated Toru Owashi & Shunma Katsumata when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Torture Rack Bomb (10:29).
2. Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Nakazawa submitted Ihashi with the HVS (11:44).
3. Jun Kasai defeated DJ Nira with the Pearl Harbour Splash (7:11).
4. Yasu Urano defeated MIKAMI with a School Boy Crush (11:59).
5. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Makoto Oishi and Kazuki Hirata when YAZAWA pinned Hirata with the Upstart Kick (13:21).
6. Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao when Takanashi pinned Takao with the Takatonic (11:50).
7. Beer Garden Specialty! 6-Man Lottery Tag Match: KUDO, Kenny Omega & Shigehiro Irie defeated Danshoku Dino, Konosuke Takeshita & HARASHIMA when Omega pinned Dino with the One-Winged Angel (15:59).

A lottery was held to determine the two teams in the main event. We wound up getting KUDO, Kenny Omega & Shigehiro Irie Vs Danshoku Dino, Konosuke Takeshita & HARASHIMA. The match ventured back and forth between serious and nonsense. HARASHIMA and Omega squared off in a 2/3rd preview of the “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014” main event. Meanwhile Irie and Dino wrestled each other while wearing stockings over their heads. The finish came when Dino Hip Thrusted Omega into the corner and was preparing to deliver the Danshoku Driver. Omega suddenly spat beer in Dino’s face and knocked him down with the Hadouken. Irie did a Brainbuster, KUDO delivered the Diving Double Knee Drop and Omega finished it with the One-Winged Angel to pin Dino.

Shuten-dōji got a win over Team Drift in their final skirmish before their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot at Sumo Hall. Soma Takao taunted Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi by spitting alcohol at them throughout the match. Shuten-dōji got their revenge when Takao had Takanashi in position for the Gin And Tonic. Sakaguchi punched Takao in the gut and Takanashi was able to counter the finisher into the Takatonic for the win.

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match forced wrestlers to either dance or drink depending on what song was being played. When “Kuroku Nuritsubuse” by Eikichi Yazawa was used, everyone had to dance. When “Nippon Zenkoku Sakenomi Ondo” was used, everyone had to find beer and drink it.

Yasu Urano told the audience that this year’s Beer Garden Week was a great success. He called DDT a great organisation with jam-packed dreams. Urano then went on to beat MIKAMI in a match. MIKAMI afterwards noted that he lost again but will not give up wrestling. He said his dream was to be in DDT when they first ran Sumo Hall. When that was achieved he now had one goal left and that was to keep wrestling no matter what age he is. MIKAMI promised to show a new side of himself at Sumo Hall on 17/8.

Jun Kasai also wore stockings over his head during his match with DJ Nira. After the match Nira announced the name of his one man unit for the DDT Dramatic General Election. His unit is called the Yasu Urano Federation. Since Yasu Urano is already part of a team, Tsurumi Amon corrected it to the Nira Federation. Nira thinks it is a nice idea for him to be the only member of his team.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga is beginning to get into his new title of DDT Sumo Yokozuna. He was using more shoulder blocks and pushing around opponents in his match. He also invited Gota Ihashi to join himself and Michael Nakazawa for the General Election, pointing out that the Golden Storm Riders left him out of their group for the contest. Daisuke Sasaki denied the accusation and even admitted he now likes Ihashi a little bit. Ihashi said he liked being in the Golden Storm Riders but then gave Sasaki a German Suplex. He wants to be the best but felt he was being buried when he was with the Storm Riders. He will now get to show his true ability with Matsunaga & Nakazawa! Their new unit is called Leaders Thinking and they are the “Darkness Heroes who do not get the spotlight everyday!”

A 4 man tournament was announced to determine the next KO-D Openweight Title challenger. Keisuke Ishii, Akito, Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo will take part. The wrestlers were chosen because they are all in their 20s or younger. The semi finals take place in Kasukabe on 24th August and the final is in Shinjuku on 31st August. The winner gets his title shot in Osaka on 13th September.

The KO-D Tag Team Titles will next be defended on the 24/8 Kasukabe show.

DDT will be releasing their own Kewpie dolls of Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dino.

Next stop Sumo Hall!

3. Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Urano pinned Hirata with a School Boy (13:49).
4. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Yasu Urano and Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Somato (15:25).

All members of Smile Squash faced each other in the main event of their Beer Garden show. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano and Akito kept on switching their alliances with each other as the match went on. Akito got rid of Urano with the Kinniku Buster but HARASHIMA then gave Akito the Reverse Frankensteiner followed by the Somato to win the match. HARASHIMA told both his friends after the match that he had a lot of fun and there was a good atmosphere inside Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

A sumo wrestling tournament was the other highlight of the show. Tomomitsu Matsunaga won the 8-Man tournament to be crowned the DDT Sumo King. Konosuke Takeshita made it to the final and said it was good preparation for Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Akito and Danshoku Dino bumped heads and switched bodies during the show introductions. When it was time for Dino’s match with Shunma Katsumata, Akito came out wearing Dino’s clothes and wrestled the match as Dino. Later in the show Dino wrestled as Akito in the semi-main event. They eventually bumped heads again and everything went back to normal. Akito was left wondering why the Hell was he wearing Dino’s tights?

The semi-main event tag match turned into a massive dance party.

Some fun and games took place before the show. Konosuke Takeshita and timekeeper Mic Inoue faced each other in a race to complete a series of challenges. They had to do 30 squats, use their mouth to search for candy inside a bowl of flour, sell 5 drinks to the audience and finally eat an ice lolly. Takeshita took the lead by finishing the squats first but Inoue caught up and took the lead when he found the candy before Takeshita could. Inoue was able to sell 5 drinks but Takeshita caught up and was able to eat his ice lolly faster than Inoue to win.

Hiroshi Fukuda challenged an employee of the TEC video team to a Singing Showdown. They sang “We Will Rock You” by Queen and “Your Song” by Elton John. A winner could not be determined.

Finally, Shun Miyatake (Trainee) and Daisuke Kiso had a bra modelling contest that neither of them won. Amon Tsurumi was hosting the contest and at some point was stripped of his shirt, revealing he was wearing a bra too. Tsurumi received the most fan applause and therefore won the contest.

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – TEAM DRIFT DAY”, 31/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
456 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Former Student Wrestling Rhapsody: Soma Takao defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:21).
2. I Will Show You Pro Wrestling In Nagoya: Shigehiro Irie defeated Grampus Mask No. 4 with a Lariat (18:02).
3. Era Of Lariat Pro Is Over, Next Comes Knee Pro!: Danshoku Dino, Jumbo Kiku & Riho defeated Keisuke Ishii, Antonio Honda & Makoto Oishi when Riho pinned Oishi with the Somato (12:28).
4. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Soma Takao & Atsushi Aoki when Ishii pinned Takao with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (23:01).

The main event featured the All Asia Tag Team Champions against the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion… and Soma Takao. On the one hand, Takao had to face against his two friends Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. On the other, he was teaming with Atsushi Aoki. Ishii pinned Takao and thanked everyone in the ring for their efforts, even Aoki. He then asked Aoki for a Jr. Title shot. Irie also went to ask for a title shot but Aoki immediately told him he was over the weight limit. Takao thanked Aoki for teaming with him, then asked for a title shot.

The Knee Pro Wrestling match featured everyone, including the referee doing Jumping Knee Strikes and pulling Jumbo Tsuruta poses.

The match between Shigehiro Irie and Grampus Mask No. 4 was supposed to celebrate wrestling in Nagoya. Unfortunately it took place under sadder circumstances because Nagoya’s Sportiva Arena will be closing down on 3rd August. Both Irie and Grampus cried over the news before their match began. Irie declared his love for Nagoya as he landed the match ending Beast Bomber.

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – HAPPY MOTEL DAY” Results

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – HAPPY MOTEL DAY”, 30/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
605 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Bra & Blindfold Watermelon Splitting Death Match: Antonio Honda defeated Daisuke Sasaki when Honda split the watermelon (13:50).
2. Wrestling Classroom From Those Days: Shigehiro Irie & Kazuaki Mihara defeated Konosuke Takeshita & TORU when Irie pinned TORU with the Beast Bomber (15:14).
3. Superman Comes To Japan!?: USA Offer Match: Hara Cena & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Tsuyoso Michaels & HHHH (w/ Choina) when Fukuda pinned HHHH with the Perfect Plex (15:07).
4. Entetsu Challenge: Kenny Omega defeated Tetsuya Endo with the One-Winged Angel (19:52).

Tetsuya Endo was given a big opportunity by having a main event singles match against Kenny Omega. Endo had the crowd support which made Kenny feel a little bitter. Despite pulling out all the stops, Endo was eventually defeated but Kenny had to pull out the One-Winged Angel to win. Kenny said he was surprised at just how good Endo was today and that Endo worked hard because it was Happy Motel Day. Endo thanked him and said he joined DDT wanting to be like Kota Ibushi but he thinks Kenny is the best wrestler in the company. Kenny told Endo he could become a future KO-D Openweight Champion.

Ultimate Superstars Action returned for a special match. Hiroshi Fukuda came out as his Mr. Perfect character and teamed with Hara Cena (HARASHIMA) to battle HHHH (Danshoku Dino) & Tsuyoso Michaels (Antonio Honda). HHHH & Michaels were accompanied by Choina (Seiya Morohashi) and she interfered several times to dish out some low blows. One of those low blows was given to Michaels for some reason and he had to be taken to the back. HHHH used a hammer to weaken his opponents and then gave Fukuda the Pedigree. All of a sudden “Real American” played over the speakers and out came Antonio Hogan! HHHH hit Hogan with the hammer and followed with the Pedigree but Hogan Hulked up. He fought back and gave HHHH the Leg Drop. Hara Cena followed up with the Attitude Adjustment and Fukuda brought the match to an end with the Perfect Plex.

Kazuaki Mihara made himself look like Shigehiro Irie when they teamed together. He had the matching gear and also the matching green mohawk. After the match Konosuke Takeshita told the audience that Mihara and TORU may become big stars someday.

For the opener a watermelon was placed in a neutral corner of the ring. Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki had to wear bras and blindfolds in order to wrestle. The first person to either split the watermelon or strip off their opponent’s bra would win. Honda wandered out of the ring and into the audience while Sasaki grabbed Daisuke Kiso and took off his shirt, revealing Kiso was wearing a bra too. Honda found Shun Miyatake (Trainee) at ringside and also discovered that he was wearing a bra under his shirt. Both Honda and Sasaki gave up trying to strip each other and instead went searching for the watermelon. Sasaki thought he found it and performed an Elbow Drop, hitting nothing but the canvas. Honda then tripped over Sasaki and landed on the watermelon, smashing it to pieces. Honda celebrated by eating a piece while the rest was cleaned off the ring and thrown into a garbage bag.

July 29, 2014

beergarden-lightsaber

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – KENNY OMEGA, DAISUKE SASAKI AND GOTA IHASHI DAY”, 29/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
585 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. 4 Way Ladder Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Daisuke Sasaki, SAGAT and Goro Jr. when Fukuda grabbed the beer (12:48).
3. Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa defeated Hikaru Shida & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Nakazawa submitted Matsunaga with the HVS (23:42).
– Special Dark Match: Yasu Urano defeated Daisuke Kiso and DJ Nira by Neon Genesis Evangelion Gainax Ending (7:37).
4. Daisuke Sekimoto, Ryuichi Sekine & Antonio Honda defeated Kenny Omega, Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Sekimoto pinned Ihashi with the Deadlift German Suplex (19:51).

The main event was created when each of the active Golden Storm Riders chose which wrestlers they wanted to fight against. Gota Ihashi picked Ryuichi Sekine, Daisuke Sasaki picked Antonio Honda and Kenny Omega picked Daisuke Sekimoto. Their choices were to make sure they would be working hard. Depsite taking the pinfall and losing the match, Ihashi was praised by Omega for putting up a good fight. Ihashi even said he wanted to have a singles match with Sekimoto someday. The show ended with Sekimoto raising a toast to DDT and pro wrestling.

The delightful Hikaru Shida was there to team with Tomomitsu Matsunaga against Kenny & Michael Nakazawa. Shida’s butt word for today was “Beer” and Matsunaga joined in by having the word “Garden” scribbled on his backside. Kenny was happy to team with Nakazawa again and Nakazawa was happy to get physical with Shida. Nakazawa asked if lotion could be used in the match. Shida agreed but only if it meant she was allowed to use her bamboo sword as a weapon. Nakazawa agreed “because I use anything.” Omega and Matsunaga covered themselves in lotion and then slapped each other over and over. Everyone was eventually covered in oil and Shida used her sword to great effect. She and Matsunaga chased off Omega and found a bat to shove up Nakazawa’s backside. Omega returned armed with a lightsaber while wearing a Darth Vader helmet. Omega and Matsunaga had a lightsaber duel until Kenny said he was Matsunaga’s father. Omega wounded Matsunaga with the lightsaber and Nakazawa applied the HVS for the victory. After the match Kenny, Nakazawa and Matsunaga all began to sing the Frozen song “Let It Go” but Shida grabbed the mic from them. Kenny offered a handshake and then tried to hug Shida only to get blasted in the face with the bamboo sword.

All of the Ladder Match contenders were very thirsty so the obvious prize to hang above the ring was a can of beer inside a bucket. Hiroshi Fukuda lost a tooth in the match but won the beer.

Gota Ihashi had a rough day. Before he even had to think about the main event he had to go through a series of boxing style matches. First up was Boxing Vs Kickboxing against FUMA. Ihashi was knocked out with a High Kick. Next up was a Lucha Libre rules boxing bout against Tetsuya Endo. This was more of a wrestling match but both men still had to wear boxing gloves. Endo countered La Magistral Cradle to give Ihashi two losses in a row. Finally there was a Dance Boxing bout against Kazuki Hirata. Ihashi danced with Hirata for a bit but then pinned him with a School Boy. Kota Ibushi was there to watch over the match and when Yukio Sakaguchi suddenly appeared at ringside, Ibushi allowed him to fight Ihashi in a Vale Tudo match. Sakaguchi pretty much killed Ihashi with punches and kicks. Even though FUMA threw in the towel, Ibushi thought Ihashi still had a chance and let the fight continue. Sakaguchi beat the crap out of Ihashi even more to the point where the ref wanted to stop it but Ibushi was still convinced Ihashi had a chance. Finally Ibushi called for the end and awarded the fight to Sakaguchi. Ibushi said he was satisfied and assured the crowd Ihashi was all right.

There were two bonus matches on the show. One was planned by Sasaki and it was a Falls Count Anywhere bout between DJ Nira and Daisuke Kiso. Nira was placed in submission after submission. Yukinori Matsui was pulled out of the ring right before Nira submitted. Nira called Kiso a bully but also said if Kiso just went for the pin, he would let him win. Kiso did what Nira asked him and counted to three. However, the bell never rang and there was no announcement. Instead a bunch of people circled round Kiso and told him “Congratulations!” one after the other. Nira then attacked Kiso and dragged him under the ring. Matsui recovered, looked under the ring and decided that Yasu Urano was the winner because he was the only wrestler visible at ringside.

Kenny’s bonus match took place at the beginning of the show. When he said that he was suddenly greeted by a new masked gaijin wrestler who goes by the name Super Strong Sasadango Scorpion Machine Jr. Kenny decided the newcomer would face Shunma Katsumata. Machine beat him and offered a handshake afterwards but Katsumata rejected it.

Everybody sang Happy Birthday to Yukio Sakaguchi after the main event. He turned 41 on 26th July. Masa Takanashi said that the show was not Shuten-dōji Day but Yukio Sakaguchi Day instead.

One thing to expect during Beer Garden week every year is a ghost story from Hisaya Imabayashi. This time around there was a 6 Way Match taking place in the ring. If the match didn’t end in 3 minutes, Imabayashi would begin his story. Danshoku Dino was scared but Yoshiko bragged that she would win in 3 minutes. She lived up to her word and pinned Shunma Katsumata with 2 seconds left to spare. However the match had to be restarted with a 30 second time limit and this time Yoshiko couldn’t pin Katsumata before the clock ran out. And so, Imabayashi began his tales…

I once knew a couple who decided to have a barbecue with their friends by the river during their summer vacation. Everyone was happy until the boyfriend whispered “When I say run away. We run. Got it?” “Eh? Why do you say such a thing?” A few minutes later the boyfriend yelled “Run away!” At that moment both of them ran far away from the river. When they finally stopped to catch their breath, the girlfriend asked “Why did we run away?” The boyfriend answered “Everybody was eating food out of their left hand.” “Is that strange? Are not all of them left handed?” “It is impossible for all of them to be left handed. They must be ghosts!”

…

I killed my wife. Fortunately our kindergarten son was fast asleep when I put the wife’s dead body in the car. I drove up to the mountains and dug a hole to bury her in. The next morning my son ate breakfeast as always and went to kindergarten as always. I never explained what happened to her and he never made a fuss about it. But soon he became curious and would look me in the eye. Soon it became unbearable and I wondered if he knew I killed my wife. Then one day when we had our meal he just stared at me and at last he spoke “Why are you giving Mommy a piggyback ride all the time?” I looked behind me but couldn’t see anything. My son then said “Mommy jumped off your back and ran away.” I was left with chills.

…

I killed a man’s wife while she was pregnant. I buried her beneath a bench under a cherry tree in the park. A few years later I walked past the tree and saw a child crying. I asked him “Where is your Mom?” In tears, he pointed to the bench under the tree. No way… He looked at me when I asked where his Dad was. “Dad is… You!”

Everybody in the ring was anticipating the jump scare but this time it did not happen. Imabayashi admitted he was feeling tired. He just returned from a funeral of his friend who died in a sudden accident. There was a strange atmosphere in the train that day. There were only a few passengers but everyone according to Imabayashi was as dumb as a bag of hammers. He felt a cold sensation in his back muscles as if something just gave him a tight hug. As the train journeyed on into the night he fell asleep until he heard a strange whisper, “You… Next up is you…” Imabayashi woke up and looked around but nobody was speaking to him.

Back in the ring Imabayashi pointed at the wrestlers everytime he said you, hoping to get some sort of frightened reaction. Toru Owashi just slapped his hand away. He looked forward Imabayashi’s ghost stories and was left disappointed. Katsumata said he became a pro wrestler just so he could get to hear the ghost story! Dino encouraged Imabayashi to try one more time. He did and this time his “YOU!” jump scare worked! He pointed at everyone in the ring one after the other, causing them to pass out in fright. Then “Wild Thing” played over the speakers while Imabayashi dumped bottles of water into the audience.

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – DDT DAY”, 27/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
616 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hoshitango when Ishii pinned Hoshitango with a Small Package (11:01).
2. Akito defeated Makoto Oishi by Referee Stoppage with the Wedding Clutch (7:52).
3. Beer Garden Specialty – Drunkers High: Saki Akai & Shunma Katsumata Vs Masa Takanashi & DJ Nira ended in a No Contest (12:34).
4. Michael Nakazawa, MIKAMI & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Nakazawa submitted Hirata with the HVS (8:49).
5. Enter Sandman Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Match: Super Sasadango Machine defeated Danshoku Dino and Antonio Honda when Machine pinned Dino with the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock (12:52).
6. New Year’s Eve Revenge!?: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Tetsuya Endo with a High Angle German Suplex (15:58).
7. Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Sasaki pinned Urano after the Freedom Call (18:34).

Kenny Omega was on the winning side of the main event with Daisuke Sasaki. Omega told HARASHIMA that it was a good warm up for Sumo Hall but noted the absence of Isami Kodama. He then told the crowd that his first appearance for DDT was during Beer Garden week and some of his favourite memories are from the annual event.

DDT’s two new generation stars Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo got to have their rematch from “NEVER MIND 2013” last December. The two Happy Motel members went full blast but like last time, Takeshita wound up on top. Takeshita was happy to show everyone how much he and Endo have grown since then. Endo thinks he has grown stronger and has more stamina. He is still young and will evolve more and more in the ring while having fun too.

If for some reason anybody in the audience was still feeling nostalgic for ECW, they got their fill with the Enter Sandman Falls Count Anywhere match. Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine and Antonio Honda all did The Sandman entrance and attacked each other with Singapore Canes and cans of beer. Sasadango eventually pinned Dino with the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock.

Michael Nakazawa’s hybrid training with Minoru Suzuki is beginning to pay off. He now has a new finishing move called the HVS, the Hybrid Venom Arm Sleeper. It’s a Sleeper Hold that is applied while Nakazawa smothers his opponent with his loose tights.

The rules of the Drunkers High Match was a wrestler had to drink a cup of sake everytime a pin attempt failed or a submission hold reached a rope break. Masa Takanashi and DJ Nira were already a little tipsy before the match even began. They and their opponents Shunma Katsumata & Saki Akai would go on to get hammered, toasting each other after every pin attempt and filling their cups over and over. Referee Daisuke Kiso even joined in and was accidentally knocked down by a Diving Cross Body from Akai who was too drunk to aim properly. Kiso kept getting attacked by everyone trying to stop the pinfalls and he demanded the match end as a No Contest. Akai gave him a Big Boot and was then joined by in the ring by KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi for more rounds of sake.

The show ended with Kazuki Hirata dancing alone in the ring.

New information about the DDT Dramatic General Election was revealed at the start of the show. There will be 48 wrestlers involved but they will all be competing as part of their unit. The units announced so far are:

Smile Squash (HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito)
Shuten-dōji (KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi)
Team Dream Futures (Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao)
Golden Storm Riders (Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki)
Happy Motel (Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo)
T2Hide (Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata)
Otoko-Kata-Shinki (Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata)

Sanshiro Takagi wanted to name his team T2P because his and Toru Owashi’s first name begin with T and Kazuki Hirata begins with P. Hirata said that wasn’t true so Owashi tried to rename him Pira Hirata. Takagi eventually decided on naming his team T2Hide and then demanded they wrestle in a hexagonal shaped ring. Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga asked MIKAMI to join their unit but he rejected them and said he’d rather team with Gorgeous Matsuno because of the two of them go back a long way to DDT’s early days.
