DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO were in Korakuen Hall for their annual New Year’s Eve event. This year the show was entirely built around a tag team tournament featuring wrestlers from all three promotions. Matches that ended in a Time Limit Draw went to Sudden Death with one count pinfalls. Danshoku Dino and Keisuke Ishii were originally supposed to compete but were both pulled from the show, Dino due to a hernia and Ishii due to a fever. Antonio Honda and Soma Takao took their places.

Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka capped off a successful 2014 by winning the tag team tournament. Yankee Nichokenju defeated four strong teams to be claimed the winners: KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi, Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi, Ryuji Ito & Jaki Numazawa and in the final Yuji Hino & Yuji Okabayashi.

Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo fought Big Japan’s deathmatch duo Ryuji Ito & Jaki Numazawa. The bout was turned into a hardcore match with steel chairs placed around the ring. Endo was left a bloody mess but he and Takeshita fought until the time expired. Unfortunately in Sudden Death, Ito pinned Endo for his team to advance. Backstage Endo said he will nominate Ito & Numazawa as the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after they beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi in Saitama Super Arena!

Ito & Numazawa took the violent road up to the semi-finals. Each of their matches in the tournament were Hardcore Matches. Their semi-final against Kodaka & Miyamoto was also a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match! It was also the match that was taking place when the clock struck midnight.

Takayuki Ueki was in the Brahman Brothers’ corner for their match against HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano. Ueki pulled out a gun and threatened to use it on everybody but it was just to distract everyone for a Diving Cross Body. Everybody just moved out of the way and he missed.

TAKA Michinoku waited until the show began to announce his mystery partner. It was The Great Kojika! Their opponents Sanshiro Takagi & Abdullah Kobayashi brought in a bucket of rice cakes to use as weapons. The plan backfired when Kojika forced a rice cake into Takagi’s mouth and pinned him in the process.

The Japan Indie Awards 2014 were presented by Samurai! TV during the show. DDT won the Best Box Office (17th August “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”), Best Bout (Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo, 28th September) and MVP (HARASHIMA) awards. Best Unit went to Muno Taiyo (The Great Sasauke & Brahman Brothers) from Michinoku Pro and Best Newcomer went to Takayuki Ueki from Big Japan.

DDT celebrates the start of 2014 with an idea that killed the AWA, a team challenge series. DDT has been doing their own version in Korakuen Hall as their annual kick off show for the year. HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dino were the team captains this time but they did not face each other until the bonus main event. The HARASHIMA Army looked to have the contest won by 90 points when it was announced one last match was to happen with 300 points on the line. That match was a 30-Man Tag Team free for all, another annual tradition for the January kickoff show. Any chances for a heroic comeback by Team Dino were dashed when HARASHIMA himself scored the pin on Kazuki Hirata. Amon Tsurumi came out to give the big prize to every member of the HARASHIMA Army and it turned out to be… 100 yen for each wrestler on the team. Tsurumi complained that the prize money was his own cash and the total pot was half a month’s worth of his pocket money.

Sanshiro Takagi announced that starting from April DDT will have regular programming on Teletama, a terrestrial TV station based in Saitama. Takagi says DDT is building their base in Saitama to prepare their big plans for a show inside the Saitama Super Arena. Meanwhile the big annual “PETER PAN” event will take place on 17th August this year. It was announced without any mention of where it will take place. Could it be at the Saitama Super Arena this year?

HARASHIMA successfully defended his DDT Extreme Title against Super Sasadango Machine in a New Year Wrestling Card Death Match. The match involved a deck of cards, each card would have a wrestling move written on it. Every time a card was pulled and read out, the first wrestler who did the called move would earn a point. The match would end either by somebody getting 7 points or if somebody won the match by normal means. Some of the moves called out included Yoshiaki Yago’s Cobra Twist, Danshoku Dino’s Danshoku Nightmare and Satoshi Kojima’s “Bakayaro!” Machine Gun Chops. One of the cards even called for slow motion wrestling with “Etupirika” by Taro Hakase playing in the background. In the end the extra rules weren’t needed as HARASHIMA pinned Sasadango with the Somato.

The semi-main was a 10-Man Tag Team Elimination match. Danshoku Dino was in action teaming with Team Dream Futures and the returning Yoshihiko. The Golden Rendesvouz, Tetsuya Endo and Akito were their opponents representing the HARASHIMA Army. The crowd were excited to see Yoshihiko and Kota Ibushi face off again and they didn’t disappoint with some crazy exchanges. The two were eventually eliminated at the same time when Yoshihiko performed a Reverse Huracanrana on Ibushi from the second rope to the outside of the ring! The match eventually came down to Dino and Endo as the final two. Endo did everything he could against the veteren, even hitting the Phoenix Splash for a nearfall. Dino found his opening and pinned Endo with the Gay-do Clutch to win it for his team.

Sanshiro Takagi and Michael Nakazawa faced off in a Weapons Rumble in a match Nakazawa demanded after he refused to sign a new contract with DDT. If he won the match, he would sign the contract. There was a castle of chairs already set up in the ring and then a bicycle was brought down. Takagi ran down Nakazawa with a Lariat but accidentaly cycled into the chairs. More weapons were introduced until Nonoko from Tokyo Women’s Wrestling was introduced into the match to help Takagi. One more weapon was left to enter and Nakazawa said it was the weapon Takagi hates the most. “Kaze Ni Nare” played over the speakers and out came Minoru Suzuki! Suzuki gave Takagi the Gotch-Style Piledriver and a groggy Nakazawa crawled on top to pin him. Nakazawa celebrated his first win in 2014 and asked Suzuki if he could coach him. Suzuki tried to back out of it by saying he’s busy but Nakazawa asked him about wrestling at “PETER PAN” again. When they told Suzuki the date he said the G1 Climax is happening during that time but he was eventually convinced to do it.

Away from the ring, a series of Achievement Tests took place before the show. Saki Akai (the only person in the entire challenge who did not wrestle on the show), Tetsuya Endo & Guanchulo competed for HARASHIMA while Team Drift played for Dino. They all had to take three exams based on the subjects language, English and social. Tetsuya Endo scored highest with 175 points while Akai scored the lowest with a measly 57 points. They and Guanchulo still scored enough points to win the contest for HARASHIMA. Danshoku Dino complained afterwards because the exams were worth more points than any of the wrestling matches.

Kazuki Hirata now does the Emerald Frosion. Don’t know why that surprises me but it does.

Gorgeous Matsuno gave a New Year speech to the audience while his match was going on behind him.

Makoto Oishi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi and Yoshiko from Stardom will take place at the next Korakuen show on 26th January.

A promotional gimmick for today’s show was every ticket for the event was priced at 2,000 yen. During the end of show speech, HARASHIMA said DDT will do the gimmick again next year. Amon Tsurumi cut in and said they weren’t going to make a profit that way. Sanshiro Takagi admitted he was going to secretly increase the price to 3,000 yen next year but was caught. This joke is in reference to a controversial 500 yen price increase for DDT tickets that will come into effect starting this April.

Another year has come and gone as several Japanese wrestling companies joined together for the annual New Year’s Eve Wrestling show at Korakuen Hall. This year’s selling point was a one night tournament featuring wrestlers from DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO. Each match that ended in a 10 minute time limit would go into sudden death where pinfalls only had to last a second for the match to declare a winner. HARASHIMA ended a strong year for himself by winning the tournament, defeating KAZMA SAKAMOTO, Yasu Urano, Shiori Asahi and finally Kengo Mashimo throughout the night. Abdullah Kobayashi made an appearance and congratulated HARASHIMA for winning. He joked “I’m the next challenger!” He then said he will wait until the summer for his return from illness.

Danshoku Dino provided a change of pace with an “Insanely Funny Game” Battle Royal. He had invited Sanshiro Takagi, Amon Tsurumi, Eiji Tosaka, Nikkan Lee, TAKA Michinoku and Tank Nagai down to ringside for a challenge. Takagi, TAKA and Tosaka had to sit down at ringside while Tsurumi, Nagai and Lee had to stand beside them with their mouths full of milk. It was up to Tsurumi, Nagai and Lee not to laugh and spit out milk onto the people sitting beside them. Needless to say, there milk was everywhere by the end as all of the different wrestlers in the match did what they could to make the milk drinkers laugh. Nagai still had some milk left in his mouth when the match was over. Dino asked him if he “liked TAKA’s milk?” and Nagai spat it out in laughter.

During the show, Samurai! TV announced their Occupation Of The Indies Awards for 2013. Isami Kodaka was the big winner, grabbing the MVP Award, Best Match Award with Shuji Ishikawa in Big Japan and Best Tag Team Award with Yuko Miyamoto. Kodaka beat out Kota Ibushi and Daisuke Sekimoto to win the MVP Award. DDT won the Best Event Award for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013”. Sanshiro Takagi was in the middle of having a shower during the ceremony and accepted the award with just a towel around his waist. He said he will continue to dominate that award every year. Masaya Takahashi from Wrestling New Classic was Best Rookie. He was surprised to win it so suddenly.

11. Bonus Match – Falls Count Anywhere: Abdullah Kobayashi defeated Shiori Asahi with the Diving Bakachinga Elbow Drop (4:05).
Other Participants: Everyone else who was still in the building.

New Year’s Eve in Korakuen Hall was a very busy day with many different promotions getting together to celebrate the final hours of 2012. DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO got together to celebrate the alleged 100th Anniversary of pro wrestling with Shiori Asahi and his fellow generation of wrestlers leading the way and booking the show. With two rings set up beside each other in the arena, there was plenty of space for some crazy shenanigans.

An Olympic Games style competition between the three companies took place throughout the evening with a large percentage of the box office on the line for the winning side. Not only were there points on the line in matches but other non-wrestling contests such as Judo, karaoke and a quiz were part of the competition. Unfortunately after the main event Shiori Asahi lost track of the results and a winner could not be decided. So a special bonus match took place, a sudden death Falls Count Anywhere free for all between all the wrestlers who were still in the building. Abdullah Kobayashi got the pinfall on Asahi and got to close out the show with a speech.

Hiroshi Fukuda faced a big challenge in the form of Osamu Nishimura. He used many tricks from American wrestling such as the trick handshake, the 10 Punch in the corner and using the ropes to choke his respectful opponent. However, the difference in skill and experience was far too much and Nishimura targeted Fukuda’s knee. He broke him down from there and submitted the young Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold. After that match, Nishimura told Fukuda he knew about his love of American wrestling, but the 70’s style of American wrestling that Osamu knows is more deep and interesting than the 80’s style that Fukuda obsesses over. Fukuda didn’t listen and was convinced Nishimura used magic to beat him. Fukuda thinks Nishimura is the best magician he has ever wrestled and that he himself will have to increase his MP (magic points from RPGs) to go along with his physical stength and wrestling technique.

Despite being left in a bloody state, Ryuichi Sekine said that wrestling in the Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match was a lot of fun.

Sanshiro Takagi & Abdullah Kobayashi went into the Tag Team Gauntlet determined to win. They named their team GET MILD for the match and appeared to have won after they eliminated the dominant duo of Tommy End & Michael Dante. But a surprise came when the actual GET WILD team from All Japan made their entrance as a last minute final entry. Takao Omori & Manabu Soya quickly eliminated Takagi & Kobayashi to easily win the Gauntlet.

Korakuen Hall will contain two wrestling rings for the show and a WHCTLC (which stands for Double Ring Hardcore Tables, Ladders & Chairs) Match has been booked to utilise both of them. Meanwhile parts of the card have an emphasis on the young generation. The semi-main event has Hiro Tsumaki from Union, Hideyoshi Kamitani from Big Japan and Tank Nagai from K-DOJO taking on the heavyweight aces of their companies Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Hino. Union’s Hiroshi Fukuda won a Samurai TV! poll to earn a match against Osamu Nishimura. We also have CZW and wXw appearances with Drake Younger, MASADA, Danny Havoc, Tommy End and Michael Dante all competing.

The other theme of the show is an Olympic Games style competition taking place between DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO. Not only will points be on the line for each inter-promotional match but there will also be non-wrestling contests taking place throughout the night as well. Pre-show Olympic wrestling matches will also take place with the competitors yet to be decided.

It wouldn’t be a New Year’s Eve puroresu indie show without a giant clusterfuck in the main event. The Ken Ohka Vs Ryuichi Sekine team challenge turned out to be a massive 74 person tag team match to close out the show. Ohka’s team won out in the end.

The Danshoku Dino Produce was weird. The match itself was a Royal Rumble match. But before it begun, a Samurai TV! assistant director (who oddly enough looked a lot like Tsurumi Amon) invited DDT President Sanshiro Takagi, K-DOJO founder TAKA Michinoku and Big Japan executive Eiji Tosaka down to the ring. The director challenged them not to laugh during the match. If anyone of them did laugh, either Michael Nakazawa or Tomomitsu Matsunaga would run down to the ring and spank them with a paddle. The director then called in DDT’s Kazuki Hirata and BJW’s Kazuki Hashimoto to try and make them laugh. Hashimoto was only able to make Hirata laugh, which caused him to get spanked with a paddle. That made Hashimoto laugh, which caused him to get spanked. The director said a joke and made TAKA laugh, so he got paddled too. Highlights (for a lack of a better word) from the match include Yuji Okabayashi refereeing the match while wearing a referee shirt with a midriff, Karate Brahman performing a song, Mio Shirai introducing herself as a lesbian, Atsushi Ohashi entering the match tied up in bondage rope, Kaji Tomato dancing with more and more wrestlers as they entered the match, (including CZW’s Sabian), Kaji Pot-au-feu (Ivan Markov) eliminating himself with a Tornado DDT, Okabayashi being unable to count above the number 6 and Takagi, TAKA and Tosaka getting constantly paddled for laughing at the nonsense directed at them.
