DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN ICHIHARA ELEPHANT KINGDOM ~WHY IS THE ELEPHANT’S NOSE LONG~”, 11/07/2019
Ichihara Elephant Kingdom
126 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yuki Ueno defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Tsubasa Kuragaki, MAO & Shunma Katsumata, Chris Brookes & Mizuki Watase and Hiroshi Yamato & Gota Ihashi when HARASHIMA pinned Ihashi with the Somato (33:04).

A rainy day did little to prevent DDT from hosting a wrestling match inside Ichihara Elephant Kingdom. When it was time for the entrances each team had something different. Sanshiro Takagi came out on the Dramatic Dream Cycle with Tsubasa Kuragaki following him. Chris Brookes & Mizuki Watase came out next. MAO & Shunma Katsumata brought out a chair and a ladder. Hiroshi Yamato & Gota Ihashi were accompanied by idol Akira Itsuki. Finally HARASHIMA entered riding an elephant named Yumehana with Yuki Ueno leading the way. Other wrestlers who were not in the match hung around dressed like employees to make sure nothing went wrong.

The match began with Yumehana spraying water out of her trunk onto the wrestlers. They then found a large football and a goal nearby so the wrestlers challenge the elephant to a penalty shootout. One by one the wrestlers played goalie while the elephant took penalty kicks. When it was over the handler said Yumehana was tired and it was time for her nap so that was the end of the animal interactions for the match.

The wrestling resumed with Brookes & Watase dumping a large bucket of water over Yamato and MAO. When HARASHIMA armed himself with hula hoops Takagi instructed everyone to take the match outside to one of the animal gardens. Takagi did a Jinsei Shinzaki rope walk across a rail to Katsumata. He later wound up getting put through a table by Ihashi from a ladder. A chain of chokes lead into a chain of Headscissors on the ground. Trainee Keigo Nakamura then got involved and turned everyone over with a chained Crab Hold.

The action returned to the square where the wrestlers were lured into slaps across the face from Akira Itsuki. Ihashi in particular was very happy to get slapped. Brookes jumped off a podium to hit a Back Senton onto both Ihashi and MAO. HARASHIMA took out a hose and sprayed everyone, claiming he was only doing it to get them clean. MAO & Katsumata found another ledge that Ueno was standing on. They threw him off onto everyone below and then both Moonsaulted onto the group afterwards.

As the match was reaching the half hour mark Brookes found a wheelbarrow filled with elephant dung. This being pro wrestling, Brookes decided it was a good idea to bring this wheelbarrow out to be used as a weapon. He probably regretted that idea when HARASHIMA & Ueno lifted Brookes upside down and lowered him head first into the dung. The wheelbarrow was then emptied and moves were done into the pile of dung. MAO threw Takagi face first into the pile with a Hurricanrana, Watase gave Katsumata a DDT into the pile, Ihashi pressed dung into Watase’s face to break up a pinfall and Ueno gave Ihashi a Facebuster into the pile. The finish came with Ueno placing a bucket over Ihashi’s head and HARASHIMA ran in from a long distance to hit the Somato.

Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao are all set to defend their KO-D Tag Team Titles at Ota Ward Gymnasium. But their next challenge has Soma Takao going back into his past to a place he would rather forget. He spent a year teaming with HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano as part of Smile Squash before he joined DAMNATION. Whatever memories he has of that time makes him upset so Sasaki has promised to help him remove those memories by beating his old teammates.

The IPPON Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match is back. Akito’s specialty death match features only one lighttube and the goal is to break it over your opponent or throw them through it. It is something Asuka has never been in before which is what Akito promised when he was choosing what kind of match they should have.

DDT has put together a collaboration with snack food companies Calbee and Frito Lay. Calbee is celebrating its 70th year in business this year as well as the 10th anniversary of their partnership with Frito Lay. DDT will host a special match sponsored by the companies that will also promote their new brand of Dragon Potato crisps. The match will feature the debut of two masked wrestlers on opposite teams: King Potato Chips (orange mask) and Dragon Potato Mask (blue mask). Dragon Potato is a fan of Ricky Steamboat and his moves include the Dragon Potato Sleeper and the Dragon Potato Suplex. He also does the Dragon Potato Ring In jump when he enters the ring. King Potato Chips doesn’t know what his moves are because none were written on his script and he wasn’t able to improvise any pun names.

In completely unrelated news, Antonio Honda and Toru Owashi will not be at the show. Honda has family responsibilities that day and Owashi will be busy with his part time job as a pool guard.

Hideki Suzuki will be on the show.

Shoko Nakajima and Mizuki are no strangers to each other. They have fought each other plenty of times in big tag matches but only have one previous singles match together. That happened around 18 months ago and Nakajima was the winner back then. Yuka Sakazaki and Miu Watanabe also had only one singles match between each other until now. That was back during Watanabe’s rookie year, which was only 8 months ago but you get what I’m saying.

The injury came from one of the ladder spots during his impromptu KO-D Openweight Title match with Sanshiro Takagi. He has been pulled out of the remaining bookings for the rest of June. But all he is missing is this weekend’s BOYZ show and the Korakuen Hall show at the end of the month. Mad Paulie takes Endo’s place at the BOYZ show.

7. Road To Wrestle Peter Pan! Special 3 Way Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Chris Brookes Vs Sanshiro Takagi

Endo sent a message to the DDT office alerting them to his injury. The message also said Endo admired Takagi’s cash in on him so much that he wants Takagi to be his replacement for the Korakuen main event. Takagi’s failure to win the KO-D Title means he is currently locked out of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019” with no place for him available on the card. Now he finds himself in a Korakuen main event for the first time in ages with something to prove.

HARASHIMA, Sanshiro Takagi, MAO, Chris Brookes, Hiroshi Yamato, Tsubasa Kuragaki and more.

DDT found an elephant zoo and wants to book a match there. They also got Tsubasa Kuragaki from Oz Academy to take part. I honestly don’t know what else to say.
