4b. Tetsuya Endo eliminated Tadaware with a Jumping Knee (3:50).
4c. Yukio Kubota eliminated Tetsuya Endo with a Front Neck Lock (10:40).
5. Hikaru Sato (2D/2E/0P) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi (2D/2E/0P) ended in a 4-4 Time Limit Draw (15:00).

The KO-D Tag Team Champions fought to a stalemate in the main event. Hikaru Sato and Yukio Sakaguchi went through 15 minutes battling each other in a match that would have fit in with UWF no problem.

Yukio Kubota won a future Hard Hit fight against HARASHIMA by beating Tetsuya Endo, Hoshitango and Tadaware in the Battle Royal.

Michael Nakazawa was allowed to change the rules in his favour to give him a chance against Tanomusaku Toba. In Round 1 Nakazawa banned Toba from using his boxing gloves because they were too dangerous. He also allowed himself to cover his body in oil. The plan backfired when he couldn’t apply any submissions on Toba because they both became too slippery. In Round 2 Michael ordered Toba to give him his training bag containing supplement pills and a bottle of tequila. In Round 3 a knockdown only counted when the dominant fighter drank the bottle of tequila. Toba convinced Nakazawa to just fight under normal wrestling rules for Round 4 and he was able to beat him.

Yasu Urano Produce – Sambo Vs Judo Bonus Track: Hiroshi Fukuda (Judo) defeated Daisuke Kiso (Sambo) with an Okurierijime (3:40).

The madness that is Beer Garden Fight 2013 continued with UraShimaKudo Day. The main event saw all four members of the group fight each other in a 4 Way Elimination match. The eliminations all happened in a short space of time with HARASHIMA surprisingly getting knocked out first by FUMA. KUDO pinned Yasu Urano and then a minute later knocked FUMA out of the ring to win.

KUDO was the referee for the Ebisuko Bar Battle Royal where the winner would get free meals at the bar for one year. Danshoku Dino and Konosuke Takeshita accidentally bumped heads during a handshake at the beginning of the show. They ended up swapping bodies (and wrestling gear) for this match as a result. If that wasn’t bad enough, Tanomusaku Toba accidentally knocked out KUDO with the Backblow during the match.

FUMA’s match was a tribute to Okinawa Pro Wrestling. He wrestled as Jinbeizamen, which was his masked gimmick during his stay in Okinawa.

HARASHIMA wrestled an old friend of his in the opener. Eririn Takagi was a part of the same student wrestling club HARASHIMA was in during his college days.

A Sambo Vs Judo challenge was set up between Daisuke Kiso and Hiroshi Fukuda to determine which martial art was better. They competed in five unique challenges that were all chosen because they did not give any advantage or disadvantage to either martial art. They were also activities that had nothing to do with anything. The five events were kanji writing, drawing Buffaloman, selling food and drink to the audience, a song contest and a bodybuilding contest. Daisuke Kiso won all five events. Well, “Daisuke Kiso” won all five to be accurate. Kiso was replaced by someone else in Rounds 2-5. At the very end of the show, Kiso and Fukuda agreed to have a proper competitive match to decide which martial art was better. Fukuda won and even got cheered by the crowd for finally being able to win something today.

1b. Hyper Aihara Choshu defeated Shinya Ihashimoto with the LAriat (1:41).
*Kota Ibushi was satisfied.
2. NAKAZAWA Looking Back: Michael Nakazawa defeated Shunma Katsumata with a Boston Crab (5:20).
3. Men Who Are Fascinated By Pantyhose: Yasu Urano Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Takao Soma Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Konosuke Takeshita ended in a No Contest when everybody was Disqualified for grabbing the referee.
3a. Makoto Oishi, Daisuke Sasaki & Takao Soma defeated Yasu Urano, Tomomitsu Matsunada & Masa Takanashi when Oishi pinned Matsunaga with the Miracle Ecstasy (7:40).
4. Take Back Yoshiko’s Smile: “Hulk Hogan” (Antonio Honda) made Yoshiko laugh with a “hippie” headband (10:24).

Much like how the American heroes lined up inside the USS Intrepid to take on the Yokozuna Body Slam Challenge, many of DDT’s finest attempted the herculean task of making Stardom wrestler Yoshiko laugh. Many tried and failed (Kota Ibushi even escaped just so he wouldn’t have to be near her again) but just when all hope was lost, none other than “Hulk Hogan” appeared to save the day! It took a lot of effort. He hulked up, it didn’t work. He drew a chicken on his belly, it didn’t work. He stripped down to fishnets and pantyhose, it didn’t work. He got everyone to form a train behind him and dance for Yoshiko but she still wouldn’t laugh. Hogan gave up and removed his bandana in shame, revealing a headband with “hippie!” written on it. Yoshiko finally cracked a smile and was able to laugh. Success!

Match #3 was a Battle Royal where everyone involved wore pantyhose over their head (it was a running theme for today’s show). There was also a points system in place but the rules were pretty much made up as they went along. The match was eventually thrown out and a 6-Man Tag Team match was made in its place. Kyohei Wada appeared wearing pantyhose over his head to officiate the match.

Shunma Katsumata is a trainee wrestler who was given an opportunity by Michael Nakazawa to wrestle inside a DDT ring. Danshoku Dino gave him a welcoming kiss after the match.

Kota Ibushi wanted to do some research on former G1 Climax winners to help him prepare for this year’s tournament. Gota Ihashi helped out by roleplaying as Shinya Hashimoto to take on Riki Choshu parody Hyper Aihara Choshu. Ibushi watched on with enthusiasm but Ihashi lost the match quickly. Ibushi was not satisfied with what he saw and asked for a rematch. Choshu beat Shinya Ihashimoto again and Ibushi asked for another restart. Choshu won a third time and Ibushi was finally happy with what he saw.

No joke, Hiroshi Fukuda and Konosuke Takeshita had a 60 minute Ironman match together for the dark match.

1. Emi Sakura defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with La Magistral Cradle (7:22).
2. Yuji Hino & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Masa Takanashi & Gota Ihashi when Hino submitted Ihashi with a Dragon Sleeper (10:49).
3. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated MIKAMI & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Sakaguchi submitted Matsunaga with the Dojime Choke Sleeper (10:17).
4. Kota Ibushi G1 Send-Off Party: Kota Ibushi Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs DJ Nira was a No Contest.
5. Antonio Honda & Hoshitango defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Hoshitango pinned Hirata with the Nodowa Otoshi (8:59).
6. KUDO, Yasu Urano & FUMA defeated Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Tetsuya Endo when Urano pinned Endo with an Oklahoma Roll (16:14).
7. HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Shigehiro Irie & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Somato (14:49).

Kota Ibushi was given a send-off party before he left to prepare for the G1 Climax beginning later this week. As you would expect from DDT, the party was weird. It began with Danshoku Dino and Makoto Oishi in the ring sitting at a table with actor Hisaya Imabayashi (who looks a lot like Tsurumi Amon). Mr. Imabayashi told a ghost story while the arena lights dimmed down. The story that I loosely translated goes as follows:

You enter a bathroom stall and as you squat down you see graffiti written on the wall. The graffiti says “Look right”. You look to the wall on the right and there is graffiti that says look left. You look to the left and see graffiti on the wall that says “Look back”. You look back and see the graffiti has changed. It now says “Do not look behind you”. You fearfully look behind you only to see that there is nothing there. Then you find out there is no toilet paper. The end.

(If you were expecting something that at least matches Tales of the Crypt in the quality department you’ve come to the wrong place.)

Anyway, the three men in the ring then talked about the ghost story when DJ Nira interrupted and convinced everyone to take part in a quiz challenge along with Yukinori Matsui. Makoto Oishi got most of the questions right. “Wild Thing” began playing from the speakers and everybody threw water around the ring like Atsushi Onita until Michael Nakazawa came out and told them to stop. Kota Ibushi finally appeared and everybody in the ring gave him a message of support. They then played “Wild Thing” again and everybody dumped “ritual water” over Ibushi while declaring that he will win the G1.

Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi have decided who will team with them in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title challenge at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013”. What’s Sumo Hall without a sumo wrestler? Their partner is Akebono!

Emi Sakura was added to the All Night Nippon GOLD Battle Royal at the 17/8 Sumo Hall show. It took a lot of convincing from herself and Tetsuya Endo to get her in.

The show began with a performance by DPG, Hiroshi Fukuda’s music group consisting of himself and his friends dressed as superheroes. They played their debut song “Demon of the Ring” which is the theme song of Beer Garden Fight 2013.

4. Idea Pocket Presents: Menso~re Oyaji defeated Hiroshi Fukuda and Mio Shirai when Oyaji pinned Fukuda after an Ashtray Strike (1:36).
4a. Mio Shirai defeated Hiroshi Fukuda and Menso~re Oyaji when Shirai pinned Fukuda with the Purple Flash (2:08).
5. Union Fly To Everywhere Title: Cherry (c) defeated Aoi Kizuki with the Spring Night Love (10:11).
*V2 for Cherry.
6. Best 2 out of 3 Time Admission 8-Man Tag Team Match: Nazo Fukumen M, Nazo Fukumen K, Nazo Fukumen P & Fukumen Queen defeated Isami Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Naomi Susan (2-1) (12:53).
6a. Nazo Fukumen K defeated Naomi Susan with a Boston Crab (0:52).
6b. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Nazo Fukumen P with the Running Knee Lift (7:58).
6c. Nazo Fukumen M defeated FUMA with a Power Bomb (12:53).

The main event was a Best 2 out of 3 falls match fought with a Wargames style entry system put in place with each wrestler drawing a random number. The Union Sekigun had the disadvantage from the start when Naomi Susan drew No. 1. She bravely attempted to take down Nazo Fukumen K when the bell rang but it was easily countered into a Boston Crab and Susan tapped out in the first minute the match. As the ring filled up, Shuji Ishikawa evened the score when he pinned Nazo Fukumen P. But in the end, the Nazo Fukumen won the battle with FUMA taking the fall for Union. After the match, Nazo Fukumen P demanded Union to disband because of their defeat. Nazo Fukumen M suddenly low blowed P and then knocked him down with a Lariat. Nazo Fukumen M then unmasked to reveal himself as Seiya Morohashi! He begged Susan to be accepted back into Union and she said “Of course!”

Rika Seibi and Tsubasa Amami were working as beer girls for the show, which as you can see in the photo above is quite the lovely sight. Their future services was also the prize for the Idea Pocket 3 Way Match. Menso~re Oyaji won it almost immediately when he grabbed an ashtray, called over Hiroshi Fukuda for a high five and then bashed him over the head with it. Both Fukuda and Mio Shirai complained about the result and the Idea Pocket divas allowed the match to restart. Fukuda, Oyaji and Shirai all decided to hold a toast during the rematch. As they all drank a beer, Shirai rolled over Fukuda and pinned him to win the idols. Shirai then invited everyone to visit her stall at the 24/8 Shin-Kiba show where the idols will be selling her merchandise. While all of this was going on Shigehiro Irie was in attendance so he could see his crush Seibi again.

Mitomi Masayuki finally had his debut match for Union six months after he signed with the promotion. Masayuki originally suffered an injury in a car crash but he believes that was no excuse to postpone his debut for so long. He has big dreams for wrestling and had six months to deliver that dream to the fans. Shuji Ishikawa defeated him as expected but this is only the beginning for the newcomer.


DDT Sets Up The Beer Garden

Keep an eye on the main event. Not only do we have next month’s “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013” headline match involved but also two of DDT’s brightest potential stars in the mix too. As already shown in the King Of DDT tournament, ignore Konosuke Takeshita and his Touchdown finisher at your peril.

Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, Michael Nakazawa and DJ Nira are planning a special going away match for Kota Ibushi. What could go wrong?

Gatoh Move shows some presence on the show with Emi Sakura appearing on the card.


Union Vs Fukumen: The Final Battle, Shirai’s Sexy Slaves, Yoneyama Injured

UNION “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ UNION PRODUCE”, 28/07/2013

1. Mitomi Masayuki Debut Match: Mitomi Masayuki Vs Shuji Ishikawa
2. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Ryu Gouma Vs Sayaka Obihiro
3. Taichi Kazato & SAGAT Vs Madoka & Guanchuro
3. Idea Pocket Presents: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Menso~re Oyaji Vs Mio Shirai
4. Union Fly To Everywhere Title: Cherry (c) Vs Aoi Kizuki
5. Isami Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Naomi Susan Vs Nazo Fukumen M, Nazo Fukumen K, Nazo Fukumen P & Fukumen Queen

The final battle between Union and the Nazo Fukumen takes place at Beer Garden Fight week. The Nazo Fukumen revealed their true leaders at the last event, one of them being Fukumen Queen. The Nazo Fukumen treat her like a god and have demanded that Union put their “god” Naomi Susan into the match! The challenge was accepted by Isami Kodaka and the main event is now an 8-Person Tag Team match. Susan’s response was she does not see a bright future inside the ring for herself, but she will do her best.

The double date Hiroshi Fukuda & Menso~re Oyaji agreed to have with Riki Seibi & Tsubasa Amami at the last show never happened. So another Idea Pocket sponsored match was booked with the winner getting the services of Seibi straight away followed by Amami’s services at the Union Shin-Kiba show on 24/8. Mio Shirai added herself into the match because she thinks having two sexy idols working for her will boost her merchandise sales.

Kaori Yoneyama is out of action with a “left inner collateral ligament rupture” according to the DDT website. Sayaka Obihiro from Gatoh Move takes her place in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match.

Mitomi Masayuki requested Shuji Ishikawa to be his opponent for his debut match.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yuji Okabayashi

It’s time to find out who goes into Sumo Hall as the KO-D Openweight Champion. Shigehiro Irie and Yuji Okabayashi both debuted in 2008 and were looked upon to fill up the strong heavyweight roles that were missing from the independent scene. Okabayashi was quicker than Irie to taste success, winning tag team championships with Daisuke Sekimoto in both All Japan and their home Big Japan. It was only just recently that Irie has become the dominant force DDT wanted him to be, holding the record of most KO-D Title defences in a single reign.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yuji Okabayashi

The very last Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract will be cashed in by Yuji Okabayashi on 21/7. Of course, the entire plan could be thrown out the window if Okabayashi loses a match anywhere in Japan before then.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi visited the Diamond Ring office and after a somewhat perverted confrontation with a male member of staff, were able to meet Kensuke Sasaki and convince him to team with them for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Title match.

Looks like Guanchuro will continue his MIKAMI impersonation and this time teams up with the man himself.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. FUMA Produce:
2. Yasu Urano Produce:
3. KUDO Produce:
4. HARASHIMA Produce:

HARASHIMA’s Beer Fight plans are usually just playing it straight. Matches himself with a worthy opponent while giving the younger wrestlers a chance to size up with the veterans. Don’t know about the others though. KUDO and Yasu Urano fought each other one year in a match where instead of three counts, you had to drink a full glass of beer while pinning your opponent in order to win.

HARD HIT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2013 ~ HARD HIT PRODUCE”, 31/07/2013

3. HARASHIMA Vs Ryuichi Sekine
4. Hard Hit Experiment – HARASHIMA Ultimate Royal: Hoshitango Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Yukio Kubota Vs Tadaware
5. Hikaru Sato Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Hard Hit lightens up a little with a few experimental rules and concepts added some of the matches on the card. The main even though will probably be one of the more intense fights in Hard Hit history.

Tadaware comes from a micro indy called Pro Wrestling Nightmare.

White Eyebrow Ma Liang wrestles in Japan for the first time since 2007. Back then he represented Big China Wrestling. Not sure what he’s been up to since then, maybe formed a Union of some sort.

Don’t care if I made a mistake with the translation. Match #1 is possibly the greatest match name I have ever written on this site. And this is Goku the monkey warrior, not the guy from Dragon Ball Z.

The ghost story during Match #4 was read by actor Hisaya Imabayashi, who looks absolutely nothing like Tsurumi Amon. The story was so scary it made all of the wrestlers involved in the match faint one after the other. It somehow ended with Imabayashi impersonating Atsushi Onita and throwing water at everyone while “Wild Thing” played over the speakers.

Sanshiro Takagi, Michael Nazazawa and referee Daisuke Kiso all had to wear pantyhose over their head during the Lumberjack Death Match. The winner was the first person to pull off their opponent’s pantyhose.

In preparation for his debut match at Budokan Hall, Konosuke Takeshita took part in a sparring exhibition with Hiroshi Fukuda. Takeshita suprised everyone and submitted Fukuda, winning the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title in the process. Tsurumi Amon congratulated Takeshita on winning a championship before his official debut. However, Fukuda then Low Blowed Takeshita and pinned him to win the belt back almost immediately.

Fukuda returned later in the show to face Tanomusaku Toba in their scheduled match. DJ Nira came out to be the sub-referee along with Yukinori Matsui during the match and they constantly got in each other’s way. It got so bad that Matsui pounced at Nira and attacked him. The distraction allowed Fukuda to Low Blow Toba and pin him with School Boy while his feet were on the top rope for leverage. Both Matsui and Nira counted the pin. After the match, Nira took out his “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere” contract and “cashed it in” to get an Iron Man title shot right there and then. He immediately pinned Fukuda with a Small Package to become the new champion. Nira grabbed the mic and said he will go to the Budokan as champion and this belt best symbolised DDT. Tsurumi Amon decided that the Iron Man Title will be frozen from now until the Budokan show. That means no 24/7 challenges and that Nira will be the defending champion in the Battle Royal.

Rion Mizuki announced he will transform into Leon from Saint Seiya at Budokan Hall.

It was confirmed that KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs MIKAMI & Tatsumi Fujinami at Budokan Hall will be for the KO-D Tag Team Title.

DDT will be launching a new stretch gym business in September. Seiya Morohashi will be in charge.
