DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN HIROSHIMA” Results

January 15, 2022

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN HIROSHIMA”, 15/01/2022
Hiroshima Marina Hop
143 Fans – No Vacancy

1. MAO defeated Yuki Ishida with the Michinoku Driver I (8:12).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Toui Kojima when Sasaki submitted Kojima with the Crossface Lock (11:00).
3. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Rey Paloma & Antonio Honda when Iino pinned Honda with the Ketsugoye (12:46).
4. Yuji Hino, Chris Brookes & Akito defeated Toru Owashi, Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani when Brookes pinned Okatani with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:27).
5. Hiroshima Specialty Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Soma Takao defeated Kenshin Chikano & Kazuki Hirata when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (12:03).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the WR (20:47).

There is a lot going on with both The 37KAMIINA and BURNING as we are on the long journey to the 25th Anniversary show. Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno are getting ready to enter the Ultimate Tag League while Takeshita is trying to build even more muscle because he knows Tetsuya Endo is getting stronger. Endo believes the matches between the two groups will get even more intense the closer we get to Sumo Hall. The unit advisor Jun Akiyama is laying out the plan to make Endo gain more power when he gets to Ryogoku. They lost today but Endo understands that losing is important because it can make you stronger.

Kazuki Hirata got ready to enter the Tag League with Shuji Kondo by teaming with another face from his past, Kenshin Chikano. That would be a big story but it just so happened to be in the same match where HARASHIMA & Soma Takao teamed together for the first time since 2018 when Takao betrayed HARASHIMA to join DAMNATION. HARASHIMA pretty much knocked out Hirata with the Somato and moved him like a puppet to dance and revive him afterwards.

Imagine the Kamigoye but instead of a knee to the face it’s your butt. That is what the Ketsugoye by Yuki Iino is like. Rey Paloma also wrestled with his costume pulled down to his ankles but that isn’t a declaration of joining or supporting Pheromones. He’s been doing that in his matches long before they showed up.

The “Super Dragon” Tatsuhito Takaiwa already took down Ken Ohka in his first Spirit Of Ganbare Title defence. With the face of Ganbare☆Pro taken down it will be up to someone younger to win the title. Takaiwa instantly had someone in mind and told Kouki Iwasaki to step forward and take the shot.

The Hottest Feud In Wrestling

January 10, 2022

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN HIROSHIMA”, 15/01/2022

2. Yuji Hino, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya Vs Toru Owashi, Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku

For the first time in a long time HARASHIMA & Soma Takao are teaming together. Takao’s heel turn in 2018 was when he betrayed HARASHIMA to join DAMNATION and kill off what was left of Smile Squash. A chance to reunite took place in March last year but that was just a ruse for Takao to embarrass him. He has since turned over a new leaf so it is up to HARASHIMA to trust him again.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN FUKUOKA”, 16/01/2022
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

1. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata

5. DDTeeeen!! Special Single Match: El Unicorn Vs Vent Vert Jack
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku

Oh right, saying The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING is the hottest feud in wrestling would be a pun.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 20/01/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Winners Of Match 1D
2. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Winners Of Match 1C
3. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
4. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai

Two teams have advanced past the Max Heart Tournament opening round. The rookie sensations Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai are going up against Arisuzu in Round 2. Meanwhile the newly named Free WiFi face a much larger threat in the form of The Bakuretsu Sisters. There is still the other side of the bracket to get through first. The remaining matches in Round 1 take place this Saturday.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022 ~DDT 25TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 20/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

At first Saki Akai welcomed Maya Yukihi to DDT on the condition that Yukihi had good intentions for coming here. Instead years of jealousy quickly emerged and reared its ugly head. Yukihi originally wanted to start her wrestling career in DDT but her attempts to join the company were rejected. So when she saw Akai do what she couldn’t it made her jealous. However Yukihi took a different route and is proud of the joshi career she has created for herself. A personal issue such as this is considered by Sanshiro Takagi to be big enough to be settled in Sumo Hall.

BASARA Invades Dove Pro

August 15, 2017

I was only able to find partial results of the BASARA related matches from the DDT website.

DOVE PRO “CLASH! DOVE X BASARA OSAKA GAMES”, 10/08/2017
Osaka Theater Sekaikan
??? Fans

1. 3 WAY THRASH: SAGAT & Takumi Tsukamoto defeated HAYATA & Taniyuki Ota and Gunso & Kabuki Kid when SAGAT pinned Kid with the Gore Grind (?:??).
2. Hide Kubota & Yasu Kubota Vs Yuki Aoki & Kohei Kinoshita (?:??).
3. 3 WAY THRASH: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Shoichi Uchida and Rey Paloma when Hiroshi pinned Paloma with a Cradle (?:??).
4. DOVE Tag Team Titles: YO-HEY & Kenshin Chikano (c) defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu when Chikano pinned Nakatsu with the Buzzsaw Kick (?:??).
*V3 for The Gingin BOYS.
5. Isami Kodaka defeated “brother” YASSHI with the European Clutch (?:??).

BASARA was invited over to Dove Pro’s house for a weekend series of inter-promotional matches. Day 1 was held in Osaka and BASARA almost dominated the challenge by winning 3 of the 4 inter-promotional matches. Isami Kodaka beat “brother” YASSHI but he was saved from defeat when the referee was knocked down during the match, missing a vital pinfall by YASSHI. Kodaka countered YASSHI’s Locomotion Suplex into the European Clutch to steal the win.

Cavalry were the only losers on team BASARA. They failed to win the DOVE Tag Team Titles from The Gingin BOYS and they blamed the BOYS’ female fans over it.

Both Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Rey Paloma ignored Shoichi Uchida for most of the 3 Way Match. They were more focused on wrestling each other until Hiroshi convinced Paloma to sing with him. Hiroshi then rolled Paloma into a pin as they were singing to get the three count.

The 3 Way Tag match was fought under Hardcore Rules and it got violent. SAGAT was unstoppable with the chairs while Takumi Tsukamoto used a ladder to great effect. Their opponents were no match for them and SAGAT got the pin on Kabuki Kid to win. Kid’s partner Gunso had a stare down with SAGAT after the match.

DOVE PRO “CLASH! DOVE X BASARA HIROSHIMA GAMES”, 11/08/2017
Hiroshima Marina Hop
??? Fans

1. Shoichi Uchida & Sauser Vs Takeshi Okada & Van Veer Negro (?:??).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Rey Paloma with a Cross Armbreaker (?:??).
3. Yuki Aoki & Kohei Kinoshita Vs HAYATA & YO-HEY (?:??).
4. Kenshin Chikano defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Buzzsaw Kick (?:??).
5. Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: “brother” YASSHI, Naoki Tanizaki, Kabuki Kid & Gunso defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryuichi Sekine & SAGAT (?:??).

The next day’s show took place in Dove Pro’s home location in Hiroshima. It was highlighted by a crazy 4 Vs 4 Elimination brawl between Dove Pro and BASARA. Kodaka was busted open early after chairshots and a collision with the ring post. He later scored the first elimination over Naoki Tanizaki. Kabuki Kid got rid of Tsukamoto but was then eliminated by Ryuichi Sekine. YASSHI evened the sides by escaping Sekine’s Let’s Combine and pinning him with La Magistral. YASSHI and Kodaka eliminated each other when a tackled took both of them over the top rope and out of the ring. This left SAGAT and Gunso as the last members of each team. Gunso came out on top with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster and the Diving Guillotine Drop.

Chikano pinned Nakatsu with the Buzzsaw Kick for the second show in a row.

Hiroshi and Paloma continued to sing at each other duiring their second match. Hiroshi trapped him in a Cross Armbreaker to win but continued to attack him after the match. Paloma fought him off and hit the Paloma Bomber to make Hiroshi flee out of the ring.

Next up, Dove Pro will be back in BASARA for another inter-promotional challenge series on 23rd & 24th August.
