8. KO-D Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Isamuashi Zan (21:59).
*V1 for Isami Kodaka.

Isami Kodaka put away the young Tetsuya Endo in his first KO-D Openweight Title defence. Endo went high risk when he tried to do the Torture Rack Bomb from the top rope but it was countered into a Frankensteiner. Endo somehow had some fight left in him after that but Kodaka kept up the pressure until Endo stayed down. There were no hard feelings between the two afterwards and both said it was a fun match. Kodaka welcomes another challenge from Endo in the future but he warns that he will crush him again. Konosuke Takeshita caught Kodaka’s attention and threw down the challenge for the next title match. After a discussion with Amon Tsurumi the challenge was accepted for 3rd January!

Akito is now the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. His submission style was too much for Antonio Honda to take and a clever Arm Trapped version of the Scorpion Deathlock made Honda submit. Akito will get his title match against Kendo Kashin on 23rd December. He is interested in Kendo’s idea to wrestle under modified amateur rules with three count pinfalls.

#OhkaEmpire learned the hard way that Batten X Burabura is not a good replacement for Ken Ohka. Everytime Kazuki Hirata put on the HIRATA GO! glasses and began dancing, Super Sasadango Machine would stop him with the Lehmann Shock. When the move was attempted for the third time Hirata countered it into his Miracle Cradle for the sudden win. Sasadango & Danshoku Dino demanded another title rematch. Amon Tsurumi told them Ohka was too busy to team with them and Burabura was too useless to deserve another chance. Suddenly KENSO walked out to again challenge Sanshiro Takagi to a match. Tsurumi instead decided to make KENSO team with #OhkaEmpire and go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Dino is pleased. KENSO isn’t.

Saki Akai opened the show to speak about how enthusiastic she is to defend her Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. But as she spoke Cherry snuck into the ring and gave her a School Boy to become the new champion. Akai was able to get the title back by winning the Battle Royal later in the show. Cherry snuck up to her again after the match but this time Akai fought her off. Akai thinks Cherry’s recent obsession over her and the title is an age thing.

Pop idol Maki Ito was embarrassed to be eliminated so quickly from the Battle Royal. She approached Makoto Oishi after the match and asked him to be her wrestling teacher. Oishi wasn’t interested but she pestered him until he said yes.

There has been some concern over Dai Suzuki’s lack of matches since he debuted in DNA last November. So it’s come of no surprise to see him as the new King Of Dark Champion. Amon Tsurumi is concerned because this means he may be forced to book less King Of Dark Title matches due to Suzuki’s limited schedule. Tsurumi even shouted advice and encouragement to Suzuki over the microphone during the match. He didn’t even care if Suzuki cheated by bringing in a chair. The plan backfired and Kouki Iwasaki won the match to get rid of the title. Tsurumi threw the belt at Suzuki in disgust afterwards.

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.

*Cherry becomes the 1,043rd champion.

Isami Kodaka and SAGAT rubbed in their victory by having a toast while Yukio Sakaguchi was leaving ringside. Sakaguchi flipped out and charged the ring, forcing the BASARA wrestlers to flee the ring. SAGAT tried to ambush Sakaguchi but Sakaguchi fought him off. Isami told SAGAT that was a strategic mistake.

Future KO-D Openweight Title challenger Tetsuya Endo was pinned by Keisuke Ishii in Match #5. In the post-match interview Endo considered challening Ishii to a single match. He feels he should not be entitled to the title shot if he is losing matches. Ishii admitted he was bitter over Endo getting the title shot when he finished higher in the Dramatic General Election. He didn’t deserve to lose in the 1st Round of the Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament while Endo won the entire thing.

After spending most of the year in one woman’s possession, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was back with a vengeance going through 19 title changes throughout the show. Poor Saki Akai was the only wrestler in the actual match who could not win the title. Everytime she prepared to hit a big move on the champion somebody else would sneak up to the champion and pin them to win the belt.

KENSO successfully got rid of the King Of Dark Title, passing it on to Kouki Iwasaki by pinning him in the 3 Way Dark Match. Afterwards KENSO said he had a gift for everyone, a singles match with Sanshiro Takagi to take place right here in Saitama! Amon Tsurumi came out and said he didn’t like that idea so it won’t happen. He then summoned the young DDT wrestlers to come out and drag KENSO away from ringside. They threw KENSO into a restroom and locked the door. KENSO eventually escaped and returned to the ring after Match #4. He succesfully convinced Tsurumi to add him into the Hardcore 5 Way match on the 28/11 Osaka show, turning it into a 6 Way.

Isami Kodaka ran down to save Hiroshi Fukuda from a further beating after the match. “Hulk Hogan” (Antonio Honda) then appeared and yelled “You!” at Kodaka. Suddenly Nerima Sting attacked Kodaka with his baseball bat. Hogan and Sting did some posing for the crowd and then left. Fukuda said to Kodaka that Ultimate Superstars Action has finally come to Tavern Wrestling. He warned they will grow more dangerous until Tavern Wrestling is buried in darkness. He knows Hogan and Sting will return on the 25th November so they must join forces to stop them!

Kodaka challenged Jun Kasai to a singles match sometime down the line.

Aja Kong came to the show on short notice for an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title defence. She faced off against four opponents and defeated them with little trouble. Suguru Miyatake asked Kong after the match if they could begin a relationship together. Kong rejected him and called him LiLiCo’s hand me down. Miyatake attacked Kong and Cherry suddenly entered the ring to help Kong fight him off. Cherry hugged Kong but it was a trap! Cherry used a Judo throw to slam Kong onto the canvas and she then pinned her to win the Iron Man Title! Cherry said she was taking the belt with her all the way to Osaka.

phoenix-plex

DDT made it a day to remember in Saitama Super Arena. Every championship changed hands during the show. That means HARASHIMA has finally been toppled off the mountain. Much like their last meeting for the KO-D Openweight Title six years ago, Kota Ibushi beat HARASHIMA with the Phoenix Plex to become champion. At one point Ibushi dove off of the entrance stage onto HARASHIMA. He later hit HARASHIMA with his own finishing move the Somato! But HARASHIMA kicked out of almost everything Ibushi threw at him, even the Last Ride Power Bomb and Phoenix Splash. The champion fought back with a Headbutt, a Buzzsaw Kick and the Swan Dive Somato but Ibushi caught him and hit the rarely used Phoenix Plex for the victory! The new champion celebrated with a sparkler as the show drew to a close. Ibushi’s first defence is set for Kasukabe Hall on 21st March.

fuuuuuuuuuuck-suplex

What does it take to demolish Happy Motels? Turns out Strong BJ does the trick. The KO-D Tag Team Champions were taken to the limit and then some. Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi were just too much for Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo. The Sky Twister Press from Endo to Okabayashi got a nearfall. Strong BJ recovered and focused on Takeshita, smashing him with Lariats. Takeshita was down for good after the Golem Splash. Amon Tsurumi admitted being frustrated by the result when he congratulated the new champions. He told them their first title defence will be on 29th March. Their opponents? Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine!

sasadango-sakuraba

Speaking of Super Sasadango Machine, he had a big time entrance coming out in a white costume to the song “Lonely Days”. He was ready for his big moment… a PowerPoint presentation. Today’s topic was “How To Eliminate The Disparity Problem In The World Of Professional Wrestling”. When he was done Kazushi Sakuraba was there waiting for him. Sasadango tried to beat him with a banana peel. It didn’t work. He tried to beat him with the Lehman Shock three times. It didn’t work. A montage with narration took place during the match. That also didn’t work. Sasadango just couldn’t figure Sakuraba out and that became his downfall.

ddt-romance

Although Michael Nakazawa has already moved to Singapore he had one problem he needed to settle back in Japan. He wants his wife to come join him in his new life. So he got singer Shigeru Matsuzaki to be in his corner for the match against Danshoku Dino. Matsuzaki stopped Nakazawa from using a chair late in the match. After all, cheating to win isn’t going to help him get his wife back. Dino thanked Matsuzaki by kissing him. Dino later gave Nakazawa a goodbye kiss before ending the match with the Danshoku Destroyer. Nakazawa was dispondent after the match. He asked Dino what is a pro wrestler because he doesn’t know. Dino admitted he doesn’t know for sure but a pro wrestler should love wrestling. Nakazawa said he loves wrestling but he still does not have his wife with him so he will be going back to Singapore alone. Matsuzaki returned and began to sing. All of a sudden Michael’s wife Keiko appeared wearing a wedding dress! The two embraced. All together now. Awwwwwww!

Unfortunately the stinger at the end of the show was Keiko telling Michael backstage that she still didn’t want to go to Singapore. She then ditched him. All together now. Awwwwwww…

supertlc

The Super TLC match had Sanshiro Takagi immediately thrown into a castle of chairs. He was also put through a table by Shigehiro Irie’s Flying Sausage. Shuji Ishikawa wiped out Keisuke Ishii with the Fire Thunder through a table. MIKAMI made good use of the largest ladder but was also one of its victims. Jun Kasai put Suguru Miyatake through a bunch of tables with the Pearl Harbour Splash. This left Takagi as the last man standing and he was able to grab down the bag to win. The prize Crazy & President won is a Street Wrestling match scheduled for 15th April in Izuguranparu Park. It will be the largest outdoor area DDT has ever wrestled in. With this victory Sanshiro Takagi got to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his wrestling debut early. His 20th anniversary is tomorrow.

this-is-normal

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title Match quickly turned into an arena wide brawl. Shuten-dōji were prepared for the champions’ shenanigans and isolated Gorgeous Matsuno from the Brahman Brothers. KUDO hit the Diving Double Knee Drop and Yukio Sakaguchi then submitted Matsuno with the Cobra Clutch.

egg-is-shioriasahi

The rules for the DDT Extreme Title match changed every 90 seconds. It started off normal, then grappling was prohibited, then it became a 2 Count match, then it was Give Up Only and finally a No Rope Escape when the match reached its finish. Akito got a taste of his own medicine when Shiori Asahi used the ropes to add leverage to his pin. Asahi is now your “X = treme” Champion!

super-kong-ironman

The first Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change of the day took place before the Battle Royal even took place. Champion Aja Kong was ambushed and pinned in the hallway by the cameraman following her down to ringside! The cameraman fled down to the ring and found himself face to face with Yasu Urano to start the Battle Royal. He actually did alright, throwing Urano across the ring with a Spinning Headscissors. But his bizarre fairytale was cut short when Shunma Katsumata eliminated him to win the belt. The title was then passed around from Katsumata to Hikaru Sato to Soma Takao. Zeus was a force to be reckoned with and he eliminated 4 men on route to winning the title. Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Makoto Oishi were able to eliminate Zeus but down came Aja Kong to get her belt back. The match came down to Kong and Saki Akai. The model tried a Diving Body Press but Kong responded with a Back Drop and the Uraken. Akai somehow kicked out but was then put away with the Brainbuster. Kong then got revenge on the cameraman by knocking him out with the Uraken on the stage.

yoshihiko-akebono

The HIRATA GO! glasses are an unexpected hit at the merch stands and were sold out. Hirata kept a few spare ones to give to Akebono and Toru Owashi but they rejected them. Hirata then tried to dance but Antonio Honda attacked him every time. Team captains Akebono and Yoshihiko went at it as promised while everyone else battled and danced over Hirata’s glasses. While Honda was too busy dancing to realise what was going on behind him, Akebono and his team triple teamed him and then squashed him for the victory. Hirata got his glasses back and finally got to dance for everyone. Afterwards Owashi wondered if the team should continue under the name AT Hide. Meanwhile the Great Kojika was amazed at how large Akebono is in person.

dna-6man

Kazusada Higuchi continues his winning streak by submitting Kota Umeda with the Canadian Backbreaker in the DNA dark match. Higuchi hopes when the next big show comes around he will be on the main card.

kingofdark-ihashi

Gota Ihashi has the unfortunate pleasure of becoming the first ever King Of Dark Champion. He is now banished to doing the dark matches until he wins one. Ihashi tried to convince himself it’s a good thing, even calling it the KO-D Title because it has the same initials as DDT’s top belt. He eventually accepted his fate and said no matter what he will win his next dark match and pass the title over to the loser.

DDT will run Sumo Hall twice in 2016. The shows will be on 21st March and 28th August. The Beer Garden series in Shin-kiba 1st RING returns for 9 shows from 1st August to 9th August. This year’s DDT General Election will include wrestlers from Ganbare☆Wrestling and Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Complete Card For “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”

January 5, 2015

saitamasuperddt

DDT “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”, 15/02/2015
Saitama Super Arena – Community Arena

1. Love Of Memory: Danshoku Dino Vs Michael Nakazawa (w/ Shigeru Matsuzaki)
2. Special Single Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs X
3. Akebono Army Vs Yoshihiko Army: Akebono, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko, Antonio Honda & Great Kojika
4. Super TLC Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miytake Vs MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Aja Kong (c) Vs Yasu Urano Vs Soma Takao Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Gota Ihashi Vs Hoshitango Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Saki Akai Vs Bernard Ackah Vs Yuto Aijima Vs DJ Nira Vs Makoto Oishi
6. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs X
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Gorgeous Matsuno, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi
9. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kota Ibushi

Kota Ibushi is currently reeling from yesterday’s defeat to Shinsuke Nakamura in the Tokyo Dome. He’ll have another chance at claiming some gold back in DDT when he faces the most dominant KO-D Openweight Champion in the company’s history, HARASHIMA.

Happy Motels face their greatest challenge yet in the form of Big Japan’s literal strongest duo, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi. The young champions have already gone through many of DDT’s regular teams but none of them are on the level of Strong BJ.

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles have gone through its most craziest matches ever since it went around the waists of Gorgeous Matsuno & the Brahman Brothers. Their title defences have turned into hardcore brawls with suitcases, bowling balls, a pig head and black ink all involved. So pretty much your regular Brahman Brothers match. Hardcore drinkers Shuten-dōji are the next team stepping into the ring with them.

The loser of the 25th January DDT Extreme Title match between Akito and Makoto Oishi will be in the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal. The winner will defend the Extreme Title against someone to be determined. Since most if not all of the active roster is booked already I think the challenger will come from outside of DDT. Maybe a Union guy now that I think about it.

Speaking of the Iron Man Title, Aja Kong now possesses the belt and has challenged all comers to try and take it off her. Among them is the previous champion Saki Akai who will surely love to get revenge for Kong spoiling her big moment. Bernard Ackah will also be there after the failed bodyguard and second Super Sasadango Machine admitted he wanted to do pro wrestling.

The Super TLC Match involves 10 Tables, 3 Ladders (1x3m high, 2x2m high) and 100 Chairs. Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai reform their Crazy & President team to face members of Team Dream Futures, Golden☆Storm Riders and the veteran team pairing of MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa.

The teams led by Akebono and Yoshihiko have been chosen. Akebono has T2Hide members Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata on his side. This means we could see Akebono be forced to do the Magnum TOKYO dance with Hirata! Yoshihiko has recruited Antonio Honda and The Great Kojika. At 72 years old Kojika is still going at it in the ring.

Super Sasadango Machine faces a mystery opponent. Heck if I know who it is. What’s worse is Machine may not be able to figure out how to prepare for the match. How can he set up a PowerPoint presentation if he doesn’t know what he is up against?

Michael Nakazawa’s final match in DDT, at least for now, is against a fully recovered Danshoku Dino. Nakazawa is moving to Singapore to focus on his career as a fitness instructor. Dino is returning from a hernia.

ddt-peterpan-2014

DDT earned a Super No Vacancy Full House crowd at Sumo Hall for this year’s big “PETER PAN” show. The show lasted just under 5 hours with eleven matches in total. DDT announced they will return to Sumo Hall on 23rd August 2015.

somatolol

The big main event was a 3 Way Elimination match for the KO-D Openweight Championship. HARASHIMA pinned both Kenny Omega and Isami Kodaka to successfully defend the title. The first elimination happened when Kodaka countered Omega’s One-Winged Angel into a Victory Roll. HARASHIMA stopped the pin by hitting the Somato on Kodaka, then he hit Omega with the Somato for the pin. Kodaka used the Somato against HARASHIMA for a close nearfall but the champion fired back with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster and the Swan Dive Somato to put him away. HARASHIMA complimented his opponents for their strong performances but considered himself the strongest for winning. He now looks forward to his next challenger, the winner of the young generation tournament taking place later this month. The show ended with the roster celebrating as foam rained down onto the ring.

tanahashi-beats-takeshita

Two years ago Konosuke Takeshita had his debut match in Sumo Hall against El Generico. Last year Takeshita celebrated his first year in the business by facing Katsuhiko Nakajima. This year he was graced with the presence of New Japan star Hiroshi Tanahashi for the semi-main event. Takeshita took a page out of Generico’s book and tried to hit the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! But Tanahashi was able to avoid it and eventually hit the High Fly Flow for the victory.

ibushi-diveson-kondo

The return of Kota Ibushi saw him in the ring with Shuji Kondo for the first time since the “ALL TOGETHER” charity show from 2011. Kondo hit the King Kong Lariat several times until Ibushi unleashed a few of his own. Ibushi finally won with the Phoenix Splash and the two hugged each other after the match. In the post-match interview Kondo said Ibushi should move up to Heavyweight class. Ibushi said he wants to evolve and he will practice more and more. He called this a successful comeback.

ddt-street-fight

The craziest specatacle of the day was the Tag Team Street Fight between Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai against the combination of hybrid fighter and pervert, Minoru Suzuki & Michael Nakazawa. A castle of chairs was set up inside the ring even though the match began outside the arena. The fight quickly dragged itself into a bathroom before finally making its way towards ringside. Suzuki attacked Takagi with a giant poster and they brawled amongst the crowd. They reappeared cycling down to the ring on Takagi’s custom battle cycle. Takagi would eventually crash into the chair castle. Suzuki’s attempt to use the bicycle backfired when he accidentaly ran over Nakazawa. Another attempt at teamwork backfired when Nakazawa accidentely gave Suzuki the Ultimate Venom Arm. Suzuki no sold it and he gave his partner the Gotch-Style Piledriver. Kasai then hit the Pearl Harbour Splash from the top of a ladder onto Nakazawa.

DDT announced they will be making their own movie called Wrestling Cannonball. Starring a mixture of DDT wrestlers and being directed by Muscle Sakai, the movie is set for release next February. Sakai has asked Suzuki and Kasai to feature in the film.

i-dont-know

The DDT Extreme Title match was probably the most bizarre thing to ever happen in Sumo Hall and with six DDT shows at the arena in the bag that’s saying something. The challenger Muscle Sakai produced a Powerpoint presentation to explain how the match was set up. For some reason the main rule was if the match lasted 10 minutes then comedy actor Ryota Yamazato, who was brought in as a guest, would be blown up with no questions asked. Not trusting Danshoku Dino to win in under 10 minutes, Yamazato attacked him backstage and took his place in the match, even stealing Dino’s wrestling gear to wear. The match began but instead of wrestling, Sakai and Yamazato took part in a quiz instead until Sakai attacked the actor. Dino came to the rescue and the advertised match finally went ahead. But time ran out and security dragged Yamazato out of the arena to face his destiny. Dino and Sakai continued to fight as time slowed down and we got to hear their inner monologues. That ended when Dino pinned Sakai with a School Boy. Meanwhile outside the building the security blew up Yamazato with Anus Dynamite and a tribute for him appeared on the screen. Thus ends one of the weirdest paragraphs I have ever typed out.

kod6-drift

The streak continues! Soma Takao is still undefeated in “PETER PAN” after he and his Team Dream Futures partners won the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Takao also changed his colours from red to blue so he, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie would be more colour coordinated with the Powerpuff Girls. After losing the All Asia Tag Team Titles on Saturday, Ishii & Irie quickly bounced back with this title win. Former champions Shuten-dōji demanded lots and lots of alcohol to get over their title loss.

cute-connection

The Cute Connection of Saki Akai, Makoto Oishi & Ladybeard defeated the random team of Aja Kong, Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda. After the match Oishi celebrated with the Up Up Girls, who performed their song “Chopper☆Chopper”. They also shot t-shirts into the crowd.

lilico-pins-matsuno

There were three Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes in the Battle Royal. The champion Akihiro was in the ring with Yoshihiko and together they were almost unstoppable. DJ Nira brought their reign of terror to an end and pinned Akihiro to win the belt. Nira went on to the final two but in the end fell to Gorgeous Matsuno. Singer LiLiCo awarded Matsuno the belt after the match but Nira suddenly knocked out the new champ with a Rocket Punch before fainting. Encouraged by the audience chanting her name, LiLiCo pinned Matsuno to become the new champion.

mikami-450

The show opened properly with GENTARO’s first match in DDT in over two years. He and MIKAMI triumphed over Yasu Urano & Akito. MIKAMI thanked GENTARO for giving him motivation to continue wrestling.

hoshitango-midnight-buenos-aires

DDT beat Union in an 8-Man Tag Team bout presented as one of the dark matches held before the show.

miyu-yamashita-crash-rabbit-heat

Tokyo Women’s Wrestling presented the first match of the day. Miyu Yamashita pinned Erin with the Crash Rabbit Heat to win the match for her team. While they were happy to perform in the dark match, all of the girls involved hoped they will grow enough to perform on the main card at next year’s Sumo Hall show.

Here we are again back at Sumo Hall for another “RYOGOKU PETER PAN”. Last year DDT ran two shows in the building over two days. This year they are back to doing just one but they also now have a date inside a modified Saitama Super Arena to look forward to in February. This Sunday’s show is already reported to be sold out and no walk up tickets will be available on the day. The show will air on Samurai TV! at 10pm local time that night. Highlights this year include a 3 Way main event, puroresu’s biggest active superstar facing a rookie phenom, the return of the Golden Star and the possibility of seeing the most serious wrestler this side of Lance Storm fighting inside a Ryogoku restroom.

0. Dark Match – DDT Vs Union: Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura Vs Hoshitango, Rion Mizuki, Gota Ihashi & Shunma Katsumata

The first dark match is a DDT Vs Union affair with a mixture of low carders, part timers and rookies involved.

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Women’s Wrestling Offer Match: Miyu Yamashita, Chikage Kiba & KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Erin

After a stalled beginning in 2012 and some baby steps taken in 2013, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling became a lot more active in 2014. With a roster of nine women all in training they now regularly hold shows in small idol stages around Tokyo. Six of the girls get to perform inside Sumo Hall for a dark match. Out of the six, Miyu Yamashita and Chikage Kiba are the standouts. The queen bee of the promotion Nonoko will be part of the Battle Royal on the main card.

akito-urano-gentaro-mikami

1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs MIKAMI & GENTARO

The show opens properly with two members of Smile Squash facing against two DDT veterans. Akito levelled up a lot this year by getting a KO-D Openweight Title shot in April and establishing the Triangle Scorpion has his submission finisher of choice. Yasu Urano also had a KO-D Title match (the same day as Akito thanks to a Right To Challenge Contract) and held the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title a bunch of times. MIKAMI had a bad year and seems to be in the twilight years of his career. His recent poor form brought in GENTARO to slap some enthusiasm into him. GENTARO returned to the ring this year after health problems took him out of action for 21 months. Depsite being a shell of his former self, GENTARO still wrestles for the love of it and wants MIKAMI to have the same attitude.

ironman-peterpan2014

2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Akihiro (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Toru Owashi Vs DJ Nira Vs Shiro Koshinaka Vs Nonoko Vs Ai Shimizu Vs FUMA Vs Kizaemon Saiga Vs Yoshihiko

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was almost put out to pasture this year when it approached a major milestone. Sanshiro Takagi became the 999th champion but out of greed wanted to retire the championship before it could crown a 1,000th champion. The creator of the championship Poison Sawada returned to DDT and did everything he could to keep the belt active and prevent Takagi from sealing it away. Everything from convincing him that the belt was actually a map for secret Aztec treasure to controlling other wrestlers with S-Cells to fight on his behalf. The conflict finally ended when the actual title belt pinned Takagi and became the 1,000th champion. Since then it went around Jun Akiyama’s waist and enjoyed a brief trip to All Japan before winding up in possession of Akihiro, another blow up doll. Now the belt will be up for grabs in a Battle Royal with Shiro Koshinaka and Kizaemon Saiga among the guest entries. What will happen if Akihiro and Yoshihiko are the only two left in the ring? Reality might glitch out the same way a Nintendo 64 wrestling game does when you play an AKI Man Vs THQ Man match.

oishi-ladybeard-akai-honda-kong-fukuda

3. Saki Akai, Makoto Oishi & Ladybeard Vs Aja Kong, Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda

This is an odd mix of personalities. Saki Akai made her pro wrestling debut at last year’s “RYOGOKU PETER PAN” and has made several appearances for DDT since then, wearing as much red as Eva Marie. Makoto Oishi took part in a bunch of Idol Lumberjack Death Matches just so he could hang out with his favourite popstars. Ladybeard is a cross dressing gaijin heavy metal singer and part time wrestler who is currently dominating Union’s women’s division. Those three have bonded over how cute they are and they’re calling themselves the Cute Connection. Then on the other team you have joshi monster Aja Kong, Happy Motel founder Antonio Honda and the most patriotic American in Japan Hiroshi Fukuda.

4. Street Wrestling Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Minoru Suzuki & Michael Nakazawa

So some of you may have been watching the G1 Climax this year and thought “Gee, that Minoru Suzuki fella is pretty great. I wonder what he will be up to after this?” Well he’s going to be brawling around Sumo Hall with Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai and Michael Nakazawa, that’s what he is up to next. In a parody of John Cena Vs The Rock, DDT booked Takagi Vs Suzuki as their Once In A Lifetime match two years ago. The rivalry came back to life at the beginning of this year when Nakazawa used Suzuki as his secret weapon to beat Takagi in a Weapons Rumble match. Sensing the advantages of staying with Suzuki and being more desperate for attention than an indie wrestler with a Twitter account, Nakazawa asked to be coached by him so he could become a hybrid fighter. It took a couple of months but Suzuki finally agreed and put Nakazawa through a hellish training program. Nakazawa came out of it learning the Hybrid Venom Arm Sleeper and has been winning matches with the move left, right and centre since then. Takagi needed to find someone to team with and found just the man crazy enough to fight Suzuki, Jun Kasai! Not only that but they constructed a special combat bicycle to use against the hybrid fighters. With the teams set, DDT decided to bump up the annual Street Wrestling dark match into the main card for such a heated rivalry.

5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

If it wasn’t for the existence of the Iron Man Title, then the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles would be known as the hot potato of DDT. Ever since its creation in 2013 no team has been able to defend the belt more than twice. Shuten-dōji are the current holders, they are a trio who formed over their shared love of alcohol. Their leader KUDO had mixed fortunes during the Spring, winning the KO-D Title in March only to lose it one month later. Yukio Sakaguchi is one of the most dangerous fighters in the roster due to his MMA background. His presence is always a little jarring in DDT but he seems to fit in with the nonsense that goes on around him. Rounding out the team is Masa Takanashi, the little guy with a high tolerance for liquor. Challenging them for the belts is Team Dream Futures. Formed as a united attempt to take over DDT’s main event scene Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao are the most tightly knit unit in the company. Irie in particular has seen a lot of success, being a former KO-D Champion and one half of last year’s Ryogoku main event. Also Irie and Ishii held the All Asia Tag Team Titles in All Japan, only losing them today as I type this (bloody wonderful timing there). Meanwhile Soma Takao is doing… I don’t know. He takes a back seat to Ishii & Irie’s plans. With that being said, Takao is currently undefeated at “PETER PAN” shows. Ever since his debut match at the very first “PETER PAN” show in 2009, Takao has had a 5-0 record at DDT’s biggest show of the year (6-0 if you include both of last year’s Sumo Hall shows, Day 1 was not a “PETER PAN” show). While this isn’t on the level of the the most important streak in wrestling today (*cough*R.D. Evans*cough*), it is still a pretty impressive record. He’s probably going to get pinned now that I said it.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Important Something Timed Blast Death Match: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Muscle Sakai

The DDT Extreme Title has been associated with Danshoku Dino for a lot of its 8 year existence. Dino is a seven time champion and has come up with plenty of bizarre match stipulations in the past. Dino was given the opportunity to choose his challenger for DDT’s biggest show of the year. He wanted a match with a close friend and one of DDT’s more memorable wrestlers, Muscle Sakai. Despite being retired, Sakai reappeared on the scene last year under the Super Sasadango Machine gimmick. Even when his cover was blown he kept wrestling under the mask. This year he became an expert in using Powerpoint presentations and used his knowledge to create the Lehman Shock, a Wrist Clutch Impaler DDT that depletes 35% of a wrestler’s health points. If used three times in a match it guarantees victory (unless it’s used against HARASHIMA who always wrestles with 110% HP). Now back as himself, Sakai has a powerful move in his arsenal. He also had sex with a cross dresser to prepare for Dino’s hyper homosexual offence. Dino decided that he and Sakai will fight in an Important Something Blast Death Match. A blast of some sort will happen at ringside after the 10 minute mark. Dino admits he was lazy with coming up with the idea. However he and Sakai demand that every person who criticises their idea should apologise to Atsushi Onita and Terry Funk for showing disrespect.

7. Special Single Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Shuji Kondo

A poorly timed concussion prevented Kota Ibushi from being involved in both this year’s G1 Climax and from celebrating his tenth year in pro wrestling. With Sumo Hall confirmed as the location for his return match, Ibushi picked Shuji Kondo from Wrestle-1 to be his opponent. The two competed together years ago in El Dorado and dragondoor. Ibushi looks up to Kondo and could not be happier to get the match against him. Ibushi confirms that he was given the all clear and isn’t anxious at all to return to the ring.

8. Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi

The Present versus the Future. This is DDT’s big crossover match for the year as their rookie phenomenon Konosuke Takeshita takes on New Japan’s biggest star Hiroshi Tanahashi. Takeshita’s year saw him form a team with Tetsuya Endo and wrestle the Golden Lovers to a 30 minute draw. They also became allies with Antonio Honda and formed a unit called Happy Motel. When this match was announced Takeshita said he wasn’t impressed with Tanahashi’s moniker of being a once in a century talent. Why? Because Takeshita is a one in 200 million million years (including Jurassic era) talent! Oddly enough, Takeshita did not watch any of Tanahashi’s matches during the G1. He did not dare watch a second so he could experience his matches for himself when they both get in the ring.

9. KO-D Openweight Title – 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kenny Omega Vs Isami Kodaka

For the first time a 3 Way match main events DDT’s biggest show of the year. HARASHIMA has been DDT’s John Cena this year, holding the KO-D Openweight Title for most of the last twelve months. He’s been happy to wrestle any challenger and in the end overcame every obstacle in his way with the Somato. When the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contracts came into play HARASHIMA defended the belt against all comers. He even had two successful defences back to back on the same day. When Union’s Isami Kodaka was the dark horse winner of the King Of DDT tournament, everyone expected him and HARASHIMA to be the Sumo Hall main event. Then Kenny Omega came in with the final Right To Challenge Contract and fought HARASHIMA to a Double KO stalemate. With two viable contenders available DDT decided to have both of them face the champion at Sumo Hall. Will HARASHIMA win again? Will Kenny climb back to the top of the DDT mountain? Or will Isami bring DDT’s biggest prize back to Union?
