7. DDT Extreme Title – Hiroshima Toyo Rules: Danshoku Dino (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Lip Lock (11:37).
*V1 for Danshoku Dino.

To celebrate the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team winning the Central League pennant for the first time in 25 years, Danshoku Dino decided to base the DDT Extreme Title match rules on the team’s history and achievements. During the match every second of a pinfall will be added together. Whoever is doing the pin on the 25th total second will win the match. Other ways to win were to name the ten most recent managers of the Hiroshima baseball team or name at least ten foreigners who played for the team. The match began with Dino and Keisuke Ishii trading two count pins. Dino then got to pin Ishii for 5 more seconds after doing multiple pins and also the Danshoku Nightmare. The count went up to 11 when Ishii pinned Dino with a Diving Senton, then up to 13 after a Missile Dropkick. Dino put Ishii in the Lip Lock and pinned him for two seconds. Ishii then Kangaroo Kicked Dino for another two count, then brought the count up to 24 with a Fisherman Suplex, the Kneel Kick and a Tiger Suplex. Dino avoided a Brainbuster but could not hit the Danshoku Driver. Ishii tried to roll him over for the final pin count but Dino caught him in another Lip Lock and scored the winning 25th second pinfall. After the match Dino remembered they could have named the managers and foreign players instead of wrestling so he listed them off. Dino thanked Ishii for helping him create a nice memory for such a historic day in the city. They then led the fans in chanting for the team to end the show.

Konosuke Takeshita said he had a strange feeling while wrestling Dick Togo. It was amazing and intense and he wants to do it again. Antonio Honda said Togo hasn’t changed even though he last wrestled against him five years ago.

As DAMNATION entered the ring for their match, Shuji Ishikawa held the KO-D Openweight Title belt in Kazusada Higuchi’s sight. The two looked ready to face off when Tetsuya Endo stepped in wanting to start the match. Higuchi then stepped back and Yoshihiro Takayama took his place. Endo and Daisuke Sasaki tagged back and forth while trying to weaken Takayama with Low Kicks. DAMNATION were able to keep the two larger opponents away while Sasaki tapped out Kouki Iwasaki to win. Ishikawa began a promo about how both he and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp were both champions but Sasaki kicked him aside and cut him off to brag about DAMNATION’s dominance. He called both Higuchi and Takayama “Dwarf Motherfuckers”.

After yesterday’s defeat, Kazuki Hirata bounced back by pinning Soma Takao in another tag match. Hirata now thinks he has the momentum going into Osaka for the AJPW Jr. Title match. He thinks he has turned everyone’s expectations around.

From 15th to 18th September DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro will be providing wrestling matches at the annual Tokyo Game Show in Makuhari Messe, Chiba. Each day will have two sessions taking place containing two or three matches. The Ring☆Dream online game will be collaborating with DDT on the 15/9 event, which will have five matches. The matches might find their way to Youtube but I don’t know if DDT’s channel will have them or another channel will.

DDT “THREE OF A DREAM 2015” Results

November 22, 2015

nakajima-higuchi

DDT “THREE OF A DREAM 2015”, 22/11/2015
Hiroshima Industrial Hall East Exhibition Hall
346 Fans

0. King Of Dark Title – 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Kouki Iwasaki (c) and Suguru Miyatake when Fukuda pinned Iwasaki with a School Boy (5:10).
*D3 for Kouki Iwasaki.
1. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Irie pinned Matsunaga with the Flying Sausage (6:54).
2. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Joey Ryan defeated Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi & Yuto Aijima when Ryan pinned Oishi with the Super Kick (11:53).
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine (c) when Hirata pinned Dino with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (12:58).
*#OhkaEmpire fails in V2. T2Hide become the 21st KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
4. Hardcore Special Single Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Rope Assisted Pin (11:10).
5. Tetsuya Endo defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Sky Twister Press (13:47).
6. Hiroshima Specialty! Deadly Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kazusada Higuchi ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
7. Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Sakaguchi pinned Nakatsu with the Right Knee Of God (15:07).

Yukio Sakaguchi says he is in the middle of perfecting his Right Knee Of God finisher. Looks like it will reach perfect status by the time “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” takes place.

A rare 30 minute draw was the highlight of the show. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kazusada Higuchi was a pairing that worked in DNA and they felt they were the better team than HARASHIMA & Akito. The time expired right when Higuchi Choke Slammed Akito while Nakajima took care of HARASHIMA. They said they would have won for sure if there was five seconds left. Higuchi also wants to team with Nakajima in DDT again and aim for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles.

It’s now full sail ahead for Tetusya Endo after he beat Keisuke Ishii. Endo hit the Torture Rack Bomb for a two count but immediately followed up with the Sky Twister Press to earn the victory. Endo said power was a major weapon for him in this match but he might need something else to beat either Sakaguchi or Isami Kodaka at next month’s KO-D Title match.

Daisuke Sasaki celebrated his 30th birthday with a special Hardcore Match against Yuko Miyamoto. Sasaki had Suguru Miyatake in his corner but he was taken out with the Fire Thunder Driver. Miyamoto used a megaphone to call in Hiroshi Fukuda with a birthday cake. They sang Happy Birthday to Sasaki then Miyamoto smushed the cake into Sasaki’s face. Miyamoto later used rope leverage to get the three count on Sasaki.

Kazuki Hirata’s GO! Glasses went missing before the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Without them he struggled to find the enthusiasm to dance. Instead he focused on the task at hand and did quite well in the match. Super Sasadango Machine stopped him in his tracks by pulling out his missing glasses. He placed them down for Hirata to take it but Hirata refused, saying he does not need to rely on them anymore. Danshoku Dino took them instead and began dancing and fighting to the music. However Hirata was able to avoid the Lip Lock and pin Dino out of nowhere to make T2Hide the new champions! #OhkaEmpire demanded a rematch and it will take place in Hakata on 13th December.

In the King Of Dark Title match, Hiroshi Fukuda distracted Kouki Iwasaki by singing “Imagine”. Suguru Miyatake tried to get involved but ended up bumping into Iwasaki. Fukuda took advantage and pinned Iwasaki with a School Boy. Iwasaki dropped his shoulders in disappointment when it was confirmed he will be wrestling in the dark match at “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015”.

9. DDT Extreme Title – UWF + 3 Count Rules: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Kendo Kashin
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title went through 10 title changes during yesterday’s “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” press conference. Cherry took offence to Saki Akai talking about her hopes of winning the title in Osaka and tried to steal her spotlight. Akai responded by trying to pin Cherry to win the title. Cherry kicked out and pushed Akai away but was then pinned by Makoto Oishi. That led to a Headscissors chain that saw the title go through Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Masa Takanashi, Suguru Miyatake, Shunma Katsumata, Cherry and last but not least Gota Ihashi. Ihashi tried to woo Akai by taking off his wrestling tights but Akai knocked him out with a Head Kick. The tights fell on top of Ihashi and after a three count was declared the champion! Cherry was the only person brave enough to touch the tights and pin them to win back the title. She then ran away with everyone chasing after her.

Antonio Honda has confirmed his DDT Extreme Title match with Kendo Kashin will be fought under UWF Rules with pinfalls also allowed. However both Honda and Kashin have admitted at the time not knowing what the UWF Rules were.

Not only is there the KO-D Openweight Title match that’s been built up for the last month, there is also Antonio Honda facing his weirdest challenger yet Kendo Kashin, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title’s return to glory with a large Battle Royal, two big singles matches that have seemingly come out of nowhere and a crazy 5 Way Hardcore match.

2. MIKAMI defeated Kenshin Konno with the Swanton Bomb (8:50).
3. Lucha Libre Rules: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Yuto Aijima defeated Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Rey Paroma when Takagi pinned Honda with La Magistral Cradle (11:49).

5. Yukio Sakaguchi & Makoto Oishi defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Sakaguchi submitted Takao with the Cobra Clutch (8:47).
6. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Akito, Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita when KUDO pinned Endo with the Diving Double Knee Drop (15:55).
7. DDT Extreme Title – New York Rules: Danshoku Dino defeated HARASHIMA (c) with a Kissing Pin (12:05).
*HARASHIMA fails in V5. Danshoku Dino becomes the 26th DDT Extreme Champion!

Very few men can beat Danshoku Dino in a kissing contest. HARASHIMA found that out the hard way. The two fought in a New York Rules match for the DDT Extreme Title. In order to win you had to kiss your opponent as you pin them for the entire three seconds. HARASHIMA trained as much as he could but when it came to actually kissing Dino in the match, he couldn’t find the courage to do it. This came to be his downfall as he had victory in his hands when he flattened Dino with the Somato. But when HARASHIMA finally had to courage to do the kiss, Dino had enough time to recover and roll the champion into a Kissing Small Package for the three count! Dino now holds the Extreme Title for the sixth time in the title’s history.

Masa Takanashi has a new diet to make himself strong. He will go around Japan drinking the best liquor the country has to offer and that will somehow help him become the KO-D Openweight Champion. Bottoms up.

Trouble just seem to have a habit of finding Yukio Sakaguchi lately. After spending a month getting in fights with KUDO, trouble now seems to be brewing between Sakaguchi and Shigehiro Irie. The two came close to blows after Sakaguchi submitted Soma Takao in their tag team match.

The ring truck parked inside the building was featured in the 4 Way Match. Kota Ibushi tried to reverse the truck over Michael Nakazawa and also Moonsaulted off the truck onto everyone else.

This time around it was Antonio Honda who requested for Lucha Libre rules against Sanshiro Takagi’s team. Unfortunately the Monster Army’s record in Lucha Libre continues to be poor as Takagi avoided the Diving Fist Drop and pinned Honda with La Magistral Cradle. Toru Owashi told the fans afterwards that they will do more and more Lucha Libre matches around Japan. Viva Mexico!

Gota Ihashi replaced Guanchulo in the opener because of an injury Guanchulo suffered during training a few days ago.

Amon Tsurumi has been disappointed in the performances of Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga lately so they now have to face Zeus & The Bodyguard. How that is supposed to motivate them, I don’t know.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2014”, 21/03/2014

2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal: X Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs KUDO

My favourite match in DDT returns for its annual appearance. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal combines the Royal Rumble and the Money In The Bank to create something bonkers in the usual DDT manner. Last year their was four identical prizes, all KO-D Openweight Title matches but with the extra stipulation the the contracts could change hands like championships. Prizes from previous years have included contracts for promoting shows, winning romantic dates and even temporarily morphing into other wrestlers.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN HIROSHIMA ~ DRAMATIC DREAM TOUKASAN”, 01/03/2014
Hiroshima Industrial Hall West Exhibition Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – New York Rules: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Much like the KO-D Openweight Division, there has not been a strong contender for the DDT Extreme Title lately. Danshoku Dino stepped up and challenged HARASHIMA for a title shot in his home prefecture of Hiroshima. Dino wants the match to be under New York Rules, an idea he got when he wrestled MEN’S Teioh back in 2007. Under New York Rules you must kiss your opponent while pinning him to win. HARASHIMA accepted the rules and said he will go through special training for the match. He will go into the woods to search for a hibernating bear to kiss. He will then build a snowman and use that for more intense kissing training. When he watched Dino wrestle MEN’S Teioh all those years ago, he felt a chill down his spine. But he knows he cannot back down now and will train hard to beat Dino.

package-for-amon

During the announcement of the match, a courier approached Amon Tsurumi claiming to have a package he needed to sign for. But just when Tsurumi was about to sign it, HARASHIMA noticed something was wrong and took the piece of paper from him. The paper turned out to be a contract for the HARASHIMA Vs Masa Takanashi KO-D Openweight Title match on 23rd February. According to the contract, the match would be fought under handicap rules with HARASHIMA needing to pin Takanashi for five seconds to win while Takanashi would only need to pin HARASHIMA for one second. Tsurumi caught the courier and she was revealed to be Sayaka Obihiro!

Takanashi entered the room to rescue his friend while Tsurumi yelled at him for trying to trick him into signing another contract. But Takanashi had a backup plan, he had the key for DDT’s ring truck! Tsurumi began to panic and asked if Takanashi was going to sell off the truck, the ring, the sound system or even the chairs. Takanashi said he was found something more important than any of those things, the championship belts! He was going to steal the belts and become champion without having to fight anybody. Takanashi began taunting Tsurumi until HARASHIMA simply grabbed the keys and gave them back to Daisuke Kiso, who explained they were stolen from him while he was stuck in Yokohama yesterday. Their plan foiled, Takanashi and Obihiro needed a distraction so Obihiro bit her tongue and Takanashi yelled for an ambulance as they fled.

KENICHI wrestled under his real name Konno Kenshin.

Akito announced that as of yesterday he has quit Sportiva Entertainment and has signed a full time contract with DDT. Akito thanked the fans for accepting him into DDT.
