7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Somato (21:42).
*V5 for HARASHIMA.
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yasu Urano defeated Masa Takanashi (c) with a School Boy (2:58 pm).
*Yasu Urano becomes the 989th champion.

If he hasn’t proven it already, HARASHIMA is a dominant champion. Shigehiro Irie in my mind had the best shot at becoming the man to win the KO-D Openweight Title from HARASHIMA and he was struck down by the champ today. HARASHIMA called Irie a very strong fighter and told him to challenge again and again. HARASHIMA was asked who he wanted to defend the belt against next. Masa Takanashi came out but Amon Tsurumi flat out told him no. He won’t give him the match because his win-loss record lately is bad. Takanashi said he should get the match because he is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Yasu Urano then snuck behind Takanashi and pinned him with a School Boy to become the new Iron Man Champion. Takanashi then begged for a match with Urano so he can win back that title. Tsurumi booked it for the 2nd February Nagoya show. Tsurumi then apologised to HARASHIMA for not finding a No. 1 Contender.

Yankii Ni Cho Kenji’s goal of achieving 100 KO-D Tag Team Title defences has been cut short by the Golden Lovers. Even worse for the former champions, neither Yuko Miyamoto or Isami Kodaka were pinned to lose the belts. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo were also involved in the 3 Way Tag match after they fought the Golden Lovers to a time limit draw in Osaka two weeks ago. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega were able to isolate Endo and give him the PK Mind Double Tombstone to become the new champions. After the match Kodaka told Ibushi to give them back the belts but Ibushi said no. Kodaka refused to accept the result because neither he or Miyamoto were pinned. Miyamoto demanded a title match against the Lovers and Amon Tsurumi booked it for Nagoya next week. Kenny was okay with the decision because he wants a good challenge and the Yankees are a strong team.

Hikaru Sato fought his final match for DDT today, teaming with Sanshiro Takagi to face Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito. Sakaguchi decided to wrestle the match bare footed when he squared up with Sato. Both had big smiles on their faces as they fought and taunted each other. Sato won his final DDT match by submitting Akito and “Dream Fighter” by Perfume played over the speakers as Takagi, Sakaguchi and Michael Nakazawa gave him their goodbyes. Sato and Nakazawa even shared a kiss! Sato then threw his leg guards and knee pads into the crowd as they chanted his name.

Toru Owashi thought that he and Yoshiko were like brother and sister when they teamed together to beat Makoto Oishi & Saki Akai. Yoshiko pinned Akai to serve the model her first loss in wrestling. When asked about Akai during a post-match interview, Yoshiko said she has not grown as a wrestler since her debut last year. She was asked to compare Akai with Yuzuki Aikawa and she said they don’t compare at all. Akai admitted she was afraid if she messed up and if her body cannot keep up with the other wrestlers in the ring. Oishi consoled her as she began crying. Akai said she will practice more and more and will get revenge on Yoshiko.

A chain of Figure Four Necklocks resulted in the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changing hands four times in four seconds. Masa Takanashi went into the Battle Royal as champion and was able to win back the title before the time ran out. He then lost the belt to Urano at the end of the show.

DDT has a new sponsor on their corner posts. They are sponsored by a PC web browser game called Joshi Wrestling War Ring☆Dream (女子プロレス大戦リング☆ドリーム). As part of this deal Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda and Michael Nakazawa will get gender-swapped versions of themselves added to the game! T-shirts of their characters will also be sold at future DDT shows.

MMA fighter Mitsuyoshi Nakai announced he will compete at the 28th February Hard Hit show. Mitsuyoshi is the son of manga artist Yoshinori Nakai, one half of the Yudetamago duo famous for making Kinnikuman. Hikaru Sato described his fight style as Pancrase-like and he scouted him because of that style. Nakai received an offer to do pro wrestling by Takagi and Sato last year but he wasn’t sure to accept it. However he became a fan of Hard Hit and wanted to take part.

The Brahman Brothers will be on the 23rd February Korakuen Hall show.

Double Trouble For HARASHIMA, Mio Shirai Signs Many Contracts

January 22, 2014

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2014”, 26/01/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Saki Akai & Makoto Oishi Vs Yoshiko & Toru Owashi
2. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Hikaru Sato Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito
4. KUDO Vs Danshoku Dino
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs MIKAMI Vs Yasu Urano Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Gota Ihashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Guanchulo Vs DJ Nira Vs Hoshitango
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

DDT held a press conference at the TEC Offices in Shinjuku to promote HARASHIMA’s next two title defences. First up is the KO-D Openweight Title match versus Shigehiro Irie. The rematch of last year’s Peter Pan main event is something that has been on Irie’s mind for a while. He felt great frustration over losing the title and wants to get rid of that by winning it back. HARASHIMA told Irie that kind of frustration is a good thing because it encourages him to become a stronger human being.

DDT “GALAXY EXPLOSION IN NAGOYA 2014”, 02/02/2014
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
*Fall 1: Feet Only Death Match. Fall 2: Cliff Death Match. Fall 3: To Be Determined by Amon Tsurumi.

The press conference continued with the appearance of Keisuke Ishii, who immediately attacked HARASHIMA. Tempers calmed down and the two were able to continue the conference as if nothing happened. HARASHIMA decided the rules for their upcoming DDT Extreme Title match in Nagoya. After wrestling Antonio Honda in a Blindfold Bra Match where he had to rely on just his hands, HARASHIMA now wanted to see what it was like to wrestle with just his feet. So for the match, both men will have their hands tied together and will have to rely on their legs to wrestle. However, Ishii had an idea of his own. He wanted to have a Cliff Death Match where you have to do a move from the ring apron to the floor in order to win. Ishii is a big fan of apron spots. He even has a Top 3 all time favourite apron spots. His Top 3 apron spots are:

3. Akira Taue giving Kenta Kobashi the Dynamic Bomb from the apron to the floor (21st March, 1995).
2. Kenta Kobashi giving Jun Akiyama a Brainbuster from the apron to the floor (10th July, 2004).
1. Mitsuharu Misawa giving Kenta Kobashi the Tiger Suplex from the stage walk to the floor (1st March, 2003).

Amon Tsurumi decided that both rules will be used in a 2 out of 3 Falls match. Fall 1 will be HARASHIMA’s Feet Only Death Match and Fall 2 will use Ishii’s Cliff Death Match rules. The rules for a possible third fall will be created by Tsurumi the day before the show.

mioshirai-4contracts

Mio Shirai had been spending the last week teasing a very important announcement. Rumours going around the Japanese wrestling scene included Mio announcing her retirement, a marriage engagement or even a pregnancy. Instead the big reveal was Mio had signed a contract and will end to her status as a freelancer. However, it turned out that Mio was signing a contract with not one, not two, not even three but four different wrestling companies. Taking a cue from Kota Ibushi, Shirai signed contracts with Pro Wrestling WAVE, Oz Academy, Ice Ribbon and Union.

After wrestling for seven years, Mio felt it was time to form an afilliation with one of the companies she works for. However she couldn’t decide who to choose. Inspired by Ibushi’s dual contract with DDT and New Japan, Shirai was inspired to do the same and wanted to be with the promotions she enjoyed working for most. Union boss Naomi Susan said she was very surprised to hear about Mio’s idea at first but is happy that she chose Union to be one of the companies. Since the Union roster is mostly filled with men, Susan hopes Mio’s signing will begin an expansion of Joshi in Union. Mayumi Ozaki said she was the only person in Oz Academy who knew about Mio’s plans. Ice Ribbon’s Tsukasa Fujimoto is amazed at the idea and thinks it is a boost that comes just in time for Mio to replace Hikaru Shida, who will be leaving the company in March. WAVE’s Mikiko Futagami (formerly known as GAMI) is expecting more merchandise sales to come from this signing and pointed out she might be actually working for 5 or 6 companies if you include her Osaka Joshi shows.

Mio’s first show with Union under the contract will be at Yokohama on 11th February.

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.

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2013 ~WINTER~” Results

November 23, 2013

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2013 ~WINTER~”, 23/11/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
373 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Hona pinned Takao with the Long And Winding Roll (11:09).

7. DDT Extreme Title – Best 2 Out Of 3 Handicap Rules: HARASHIMA (c) defeated DJ Nira 2-1 (16:48).
-7a. 1 Count Vs 10 Count Handicap Match: HARASHIMA defeated DJ Nira with a Wristlock (5:06).
-7b. Do Not Speak Death Match: DJ Nira defeated HARASHIMA when HARASHIMA said “Here I Come” (10:30).
-7c. Shiritori Technique Match: HARASHIMA defeated DJ Nira with the Ultra Somato (16:48).
*V2 for HARASHIMA.

HARASHIMA went through what has to be the weirdest challenge of his career today. DJ Nira stepped up to challenge him for the DDT Extreme Title but the champion couldn’t decide what match to have. Nira thought this meant the show was now cancelled. They eventually decided to make it best two out of three rounds with a different stipulation for every round. Round 1 had the rule where Nira would win if he pinned HARASHIMA for one second while HARASHIMA had to pin Nira for ten seconds to win. HARASHIMA avoided that handicap by making Nira tap out to a Wristlock. Round 2 had the rule where you were disqualified if you spoke. You could still make noise and Nira did ever time HARASHIMA kicked him, you just could not speak. Nira found a note and wanted HARASHIMA to read it, but he didn’t fall for the trap. Instead HARASHIMA embarrassed himself and lost the round when he yelled “Here I come” when he was about to finish off Nira. The deciding round was a Shiritori match. Shiritori is a Japanese version of the game where you have to say a word that begins with the last letter of the previous word. In this case, the players had to perform a wrestling move instead of just saying the word. A wrestler loses if he fails to do a suitable move three times or if he cannot continue.

The game went as follows. HARASHIMA began the round with an Iron Claw. Nira did the Rocket Punch. HARASHIMA did a Chin Crusher. Nira did a Desperation Rocket Punch. HARASHIMA did a Chickenwing Armlock. Nira did another Desperation Rocket Punch. HARASHIMA did a Chickenwing Facelock. Nira did a Rocket Punch to the neck (noticing a pattern?). HARASHIMA did a Choke Sleeper but that was disallowed, so he did a Choke Slam instead. Nira did the “Rocket Punch of Useless Resistance”. HARASHIMA did a Chop. Nira did the Rocket Punch Push. HARASHIMA did a different Chop but it wasn’t allowed. He struggled to think of a move until he figured out he could do the Ultra Somato. Nira tried to get up and do the Rocket Punch but he collapsed, giving HARASHIMA the victory!

Yukio Sakaguchi gains momentum for his upcoming KO-D Openweight Title match by pinning former champion KUDO in the semi-main tag match.

Danshoku Dino used his match against Tetsuya Endo to interrogate what the young wrestler has been up to during his absence. Makoto Oishi told the audience a rumour that Tetsuya Endo was not really Tetsuya Endo but someone pretending to be him. Guanchulo told Dino & Oishi that he saw Endo leaving the DDT dormitory late one night and ever since then he has acted differently. Dino did his usual tricks in the match and got Endo to confess. Endo said it was Kazuki Hirata’s birthday two days ago and he couldn’t afford to buy him the gift he wanted, so he got a part time job to get extra cash. The reason Endo has been acting differently is because of exhaustion. With the mystery solved, everyone began to sing Happy Birthday to the absent Hirata.

Michael Nakazawa used his appearance in the 4 Way Match to plug his new DVD. The DVD includes matches of Nakazawa and Tomomitsu Matsunaga teaming together as the Nuru Nuru Brothers. They brought the gimmick back during the match, covering themselves in lotion to slip out of their opponents’ moves. The plan backfired when Nakazawa tried to pin Makoto Oishi with La Magistral Cradle only for Oishi to slip away and roll up Nakazawa for the three count instead.

Amon Tsurumi announced the next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence will take place inside the Musashi Koganei Station shopping centre in Tokyo on 15th December. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto will defend the belts in a 3 Way Match against Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata and HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano. The winners will then defend the titles in Hakata later that day against Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2013” Results

November 17, 2013

yankii-golden

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2013”, 17/11/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,851 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Battle Royal: Guanhculo defeated Hikaru Sato by Ring Out (12:05).
Other Competitors: MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Michael Nakazawa, Hoshitango, Soma Takao, Gota Ihashi, DJ Nira and Daisuke Sasaki.
3. KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when KUDO pinned Endo with the Diving Double Knee Drop (11:50).
4. Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito defeated Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii by Referee Stoppage when Sakaguchi knocked out Irie with a Knee To The Face (11:33).
5. DDT Extreme Title – Blindfold Hidden Breasts Match: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA stripped Honda’s bra with the Somato (12:03).
*V1 for HARASHIMA.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when Kodaka pinned Omega with the Rasengan (20:57).
*V3 for Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.

Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto made it clear they are the very best tag team in DDT right now after defeating the Golden Lovers to retain the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Their next defence will be in Hakata on 15th December. The champions pointed out that two wrestlers from Union and 666 now currently dominate both the DDT and Big Japan tag team divisions and they should not be treated like fools because they come from “smelly indies”. Kodaka even asked for the title match to take place in the streets or the local shopping mall. Backstage, Kenny Omega said being defeated was the worst and both he and Kota Ibushi wrestled with injuries. He wants a Falls Count Anywhere rematch in DDT next year and even Ibushi said he wants revenge.

HARASHIMA defended the DDT Extreme Title in a Blindfold Hidden Breasts Match against Antonio Honda. The rule were both men had to wear blindfolds and bras. The first man to find and strip his opponent’s bra would win. Yukinori Matsui got caught in the crossfire a few times and narrowly avoided the Somato from the champion. HARASHIMA was able to knock down Honda with a High Kick and then flattened him with the Somato, pulling off Honda’s bra afterwards to win. HARASHIMA complimented Honda for coming up with a great match idea which taught him some valuable experience.

DJ Nira suddenly appeared with Daisuke Kiso by his side. He told HARASHIMA it would be either him or Kiso who will be the next challenger. He then gave Kiso the Rocket Punch and said he was the next challenger. The match is booked for the 23rd November show in Yokohama However, Guanchulo earlier won a Battle Royal that granted him a shot at HARASHIMA’s Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. It was agreed that he will face HARASHIMA in Sendai on the 24th. Kazuki Hirata snuck into the ring and attacked HARASHIMA. He rolled over HARASHIMA for a pin but only got a two count. He then fled the ring. If that wasn’t enough, Amon Tsurumi announced that HARASHIMA will defend his KO-D Openweight Title against Yukio Sakaguchi at the 23rd December Korakuen Hall show. HARASHIMA offered a handshake to Sakaguchi but he gave him a fist bump instead.

Speaking of Sakaguchi, he knocked out Shigehiro Irie with a Knee Strike to the face during their tag team match. Irie actually kicked out of the pin but was too groggy to stand up so the referee called for the match to end. A stretcher was brought out but Irie was helped out to the locker room by Keisuke Ishii and Soma Takao instead. Irie had no idea what happened and didn’t know the match was over.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have found the perfect partner to go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. That wrestler is Aja Kong! The trio earned a title shot by beating two thirds of the champs and Kazuki Hirata. Dino said they are all ready to bukkake on the grand champion Akebono.

Saki Akai will return for her third wrestling match at the 23/12 Korakuen show.

Masa Takanashi will be holding a special 10th Anniversary show in Edogawa on 17th December. Shuji Ishikawa, Kazuhiro Tamura, Emi Sakura and the UMA Corps will all appear on the show.

*V3 for HARASHIMA’s KO-D Title. V1 for HARASHIMA’s Iron Man Title. Antonio Honda fails in V2. HARASHIMA becomes the 24th DDT Extreme Champion!

HARASHIMA continues to dominate in DDT and now finds himself as a Triple Crown Champion! He defeated Antonio Honda in a triple title match. HARASHIMA defended his KO-D Openweight and Iron Man Heavymetalweight Titles while Honda put his DDT Extreme Title on the line. It was a chance for Honda to bring out his best for the championship just like he did against GENTARO and Dick Togo over two years ago. But HARASHIMA proved too strong and was the last man standing. After the match HARASHIMA told Honda he is amazing and thanked him for a fun match. Amon Tsurumi approached the champion and asked him who he wanted to face in Korakuen Hall on 17th November for a KO-D Title match. However, HARASHIMA instead wanted to defend the DDT Extreme Title and he wanted to defend it against Honda! The two shook hands to confirm the rematch.

Akebono may be the new AJPW Triple Crown Champion, but he had more pressing matters to deal with today in DDT. That’s right, he had to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! He, Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi were able to beat Team Dream Futures to mark their second defence of the titles. Takagi said Team Drift were strong but were also stunk as opponents. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi showed up afterwards to challenge the champions and Akebono was not happy to see Dino. Since Akebono will be busy in All Japan, Takagi arranged a Six-Man Tag Team match between himself, Owashi & Kazuki Hirata against Dino, Oishi & their currently unknown partner to determine if they will be No. 1 Contenders. Dino told Akebono he is looking forward to facing him. Akebono then told Takagi to “Please win!”

The Golden Lovers have become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after winning the 3-Way Tag match. They will face Yuko Miyamoto and the new BJW Death Match Champion, Isami Kodaka at the 17/11 Korakuen show.

Saki Akai told Mio Shirai after their tag match that she does not play around. She told the crowd that she was really happy to wrestle here because she was born in Osaka and her father competed and even retired in this building. She promised to be stronger when she returns. She also thanked Yukio Sakaguchi for encouraging her and wants to team with him again.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall
DDT48 General Election Ranking In Parentheses

0. Dark Match – 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (#23) Vs Michael Nakazawa (#14) & DJ Nira (#25)

7. KO-D Openweight Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) (#4) Vs Danshoku Dino (c) (#1)

The entire reason the DDT48 General Election exists finally pays off with this show on Sunday. Everyone on the card was voted in by the results of the election.

The main event is now a double title match. Danshoku Dino won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from KUDO in Sapporo last week. He promises to defeat HARASHIMA so he can hold both the KO-D Openweight Title and Iron Man Title at the same time. The last time both titles were defended in the same match was Kota Ibushi Vs Yoshihiko in 2009, one week shy of it being exactly four years ago. Ibushi won that match but Yoshihiko won back the Iron Man Title almost immediately afterwards. So yeah, don’t be surprised if something like that happens again.

The stipulations for the DDT Extreme Title match between Antonio Honda and the instantly popular Super Sasadango Machine will be announced during the show.
