10. Grappling Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Final: Takafumi Ito & KEI Yamamiya (3) defeated Atsushi Aoki & Takuya Wada (0) by Judges’ Decision (15:00).

Hikaru Sato is hoping to hold another Hard Hit event in November with Gifu as a possible location. He would also like to put together a show for Ryo Kawamura’s 10th Anniversary at the end of the year.

Daisuke Nakamura requested a rematch with Sato when their bout ended in a draw.

Jun Kasai & Masaharu Tsuchihashi smashed lighttubes over their heads after their fight. They did it in the front row forcing fans to flee from the flying glass.

I think Emi Tomimatsu Vs Hiroyo Matsumoto was the first ever women’s fight in Hard Hit.

Hard Hit Results

June 27, 2015

hard-hit-reboot

HARD HIT, 27/06/2015
Kanagawa Bayside Yokohama
??? Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine (1D/0E/0P) defeated Jun Ando (1D/0E/0P) with a Rear Naked Choke (3:36).
2. Manabu Hara & Ryota Nakatsu (1D/0E/0P) defeated Hiroshi Kobayashi & Kenta Hattori (1D/1E/0P) by KO when Hara knocked out Hattori with a German Suplex (12:47).
3. Shigehiro Irie (3D/0E/0P) defeated Nobuhiro Tsurumaki (1D/1E/0P) by TKO with a Package Piledriver (4:56).
4. Super Tiger (0D/0E/0P) defeated Hoshitango (0D/0E/0P) by KO with a Low Kick (2:47).
5. Takafumi Ito (0D/1E/0P) Vs KEI Yamamiya (0D/1E/0P) ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
6. Atsushi Aoki (1D/1E/0P) defeated Takuya Wada (1D/0E/0P) by Points Decision (10:00).
7. Grappling Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Mitsuhisa Sunabe defeated Shunichi Shimizu & Shunpei Ota when Katsumura submitted Ota with a Ninje Choke (12:28).
8. Koji Iwamoto (2D/1E/0P) defeated Ryo Kawamura (0D/0E/0P) with a Shoulder Lock (8:03).
9. Hiromitsu Kanehara (0D/2E/0P) defeated Hikaru Sato (2D/1E/0P) by Referee Stoppage (10:18).

Hard Hit held its first show since going independent from DDT in Bayside Yokohama today. While several DDT wrestlers took part in the show this is now very much Hikaru Sato’s promotion. While the attendence figure was not given, the show was sold out. Sato hopes today’s show will open up many possibilites for Hard Hit in the future.

Unfortunately for Hikaru Sato, his first fight under Hard Hit’s reboot ended unexpectedly when Sato dislocated his left ring finger. The injury happened when his opponent Hiromitsu Kanehara tried to fight out of a Cross Heel Hold. Kanehara tried to cheer Sato up by saying they had a good fight. Sato said it did not matter if an injury caused it but the right guy won.

From what I understand Koji Iwamoto beating Ryo Kawamura was quite the upset. Iwamoto blocked a Flying Knee Strike, took Kawamura down and tapped him out with a Shoulder Lock. Iwamoto had Shigehiro Irie and Ryuichi Sekine in his corner and they raised him onto their shoulders to celebrate the victory.

Catching Up On The News I Missed

June 22, 2015

Missed out on a few stories that happened earlier this month. So let’s catch up.

mikami-freelancer

MIKAMI announced he will become a freelancer with his last match as a DDT affiliated wrestler taking place on 19th July. MIKAMI has been with DDT since the very beginning, wrestling on the first DDT show all the way back in 1997. He hopes his new status will help him nurture new young wrestlers in his hometown of Shimane as well as try new things. He pointed out his recent tag team match with Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabayashi as something he would like to do again. MIKAMI will still be wrestling in DDT from time to time and will be at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” in August.

sato-hardhit

The management rights of the Hard Hit sub-brand has been transferred from DDT to Hikaru Sato. Previously Sato has been part of Hard Hit as a producer but the box office was managed by DDT itself. Now Sato is pretty much in full control of everything. DDT is still fully cooperating with Hard Hit and there is no change to the staff and talent they will provide for future shows. Sato describes the change as him finally being able to buy the home he has been renting for years. Hard Hit’s first show as an independent brand will be in Yokohama on 27th June.

ResOCRcH

Over in Vietnam Dick Togo is launching New Vietnam Pro Wrestling, the country’s first pro wrestling organisation. Togo along with Mitsuhiro Yoshida set up a wrestling school in the country last year. Togo wants the school to train people from all over the world. The first set of shows will take place at the end of August. Michael Nakazawa, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango and Yusuke Kubo are the wrestlers announced so far.

Shibata fought dirty at the start of his bout with Super Tiger. He refused to shake hands and instead immediately locked in a Front Neck Lock. Super Tiger calmly escaped from the hold and kicked the hell out of Shibata until the referee stopped him.

Right To Challenge Returns

March 9, 2015

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Tomoya & Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
3. Teletama Presents Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & MIKAMI Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Do It Or Die! – Special Single Match: Aja Kong (c) Vs Saki Akai
5. Eat Or Be Eaten! – Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Tetsuya Endo
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

Saki Akai gets one more good shot at regaining the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Aja Kong. That is if Kong is still the champion.

The winning team in the dark match will qualify for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal on 29/3.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2015”, 29/03/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
1. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango Vs MIKAMI & Shunma Katsumata
2. Sanshiro Takagi 20th Anniversary Falls Count Anywhere Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake
3. Next KO-D Tag Team Titles Challenger Final: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi
4. Next KO-D Openweight Title Challenger And Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs X Vs X
5. DDT Extreme Title: X (c) Vs Akito
*X is Shiori Asahi.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine

The time has come for my favourite DDT match to take place again. The Right To Challenge Battle Royal is a combined Royal Rumble and Ladder Match. The winner of the Rumble portion becomes the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. However there are usually extra prizes hanging over the ring which is where the ladder comes in. In recent years the prize has been Money In The Bank style contracts that allow the holder to get a title match at any show they want. However there are also extra stipulations used to keep the contract holder on his toes. For example, last year the contract could change hands like a title if the holder was directly defeated in any match he wrestled in. The rules change or get altered every year so we won’t know for sure what the prizes and conditions are until right after the match.

The Drift Vs Shuten-dōji feud has extended itself into the regular tag team division. The two sides will collide again with a future KO-D Tag Team Title shot on the line.

Sanshiro Takagi will celebrate 20 years in wrestling with a good old fashion Falls Count Anywhere Match.

I think this is the first time anywhere a champion has been labelled as X.

HARD HIT “~NEVER GIVE UP~”, 04/04/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Kenta Hattori Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Takafumi Ito Vs Hiroshi Kobayashi
4. Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Masaharu Tsuchihashi
5. Hikaru Sato & HARASHIMA Vs Ryo Kawamura & KEI Yamamiya
6. Mitsuya Nagai Vs Takaku Fuke

Hard Hit returns with a Dradition Vs Pancrase main event.

KEI Yamamiya is from the GRABAKA gym and is a former King Of Pancrase Light Heavyweight Champion. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki is representing Super FMW.

Yukio Sakaguchi will also be in action.

Hikaru Sato was really pleased to have held six Hard Hit shows in 2014. He said that UWF style is a phenomenon that should be recognised by the pro wrestling world again. Sato was able to finish the year with a submission victory over Ryo Kawamura in the main event. In Sato’s end of show speech he said wrestling has existed for hundreds of years and he believes in his style.

The Alpine Emperor Yoshihiro Takayama stepped into the Hard Hit ring and defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with a big German Suplex. Katsumura was back up to shake hands with Takayama after the match but collapsed from his beating afterwards and had to be helped to the back by his cornermen.

*X is Shiori Asahi.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Soma Takao

This is it for Soma Takao. Can he prove he is on the main event level or was he just lucky to get the title shot?

Despite being out of action to recover from a fracture right heel, Sanshiro Takagi is being forced to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles along with Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Probably not the best timing to do this given the big story in wrestling this week. But it will most likely be a comedy match so he should be ok.

KUDO will debut a new theme song on this show. Farewell Shaolin Soccer soundtrack!

5. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi

The main event is protein shakes vs liquor. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo plan to drink protein shakes as a toast for their victory on Sunday. Masa Takanashi is pretty insulted that they would drink protein shakes instead of alcohol.

Akito has decided his DDT Extreme Title match against Soma Takao will just be a normal singles match. Akito still remembers when he lost to Takao in a King of DDT qualifying match back in May. He is still bitter over the defeat and wants to prove he can beat Takao without any crazy stipulation aiding him. He’ll start defending the Extreme Title the way it is supposed to be defended once he beats Takao. Also since DDT is currently being passed over to a new generation of wrestlers, Akito wants to make the Extreme Title as prestigious as the KO-D Openweight Title.

Farewell Pigging, we hardly knew you. The unit has been forced to disband after they finished last in the DDT Dramatic General Election. This weekend they have one more match together against Happy Motel. But this is something like the fifth time Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga were forced to split up so they’ll probably be teaming up again in the future.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
