5e. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4: Super Sasadango Machine (15:38).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO defeated HARASHIMA (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (19:54).
*HARASHIMA fails in V7. KUDO becomes the 47th KO-D Openweight Champion!

DDT celebrates its 17th Anniversary with a new KO-D Openweight Champion! After seven months of dominating the main event scene, HARASHIMA was finally knocked off his throne by his former ally KUDO. The new champion gloated about how his win was the result of him leaving UraShimaKudo and he would wait for a rematch anytime. HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano glared at KUDO but both left. With the former champion out of the way, KUDO now has a whole host of new challengers ahead.

The annual free for all that is the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal returned with six prizes on the line. A KO-D Title shot at Korakuen Hall on 29th April was the prize to the winner of the Royal Rumble portion of the match. The other portion was a Ladder Match with five contracts hanging above the ring, four of them with smiley faces and one with a skull on it. Tetsuya Endo, Masa Takanashi, Kazuki Hirata and Super Sasadango Machine each grabbed a smiley face contract, giving them a KO-D Title shot whenever they want. Guanchulo got the skull contract which turned out to be the right to challenge his favourite wrestler to a match. Akito last eliminated Konosuke Takeshita to win the Rumble match and get next month’s title shot. At the end of the show Akito told KUDO that there will be no more HARASHIMA’s challenging him because he will win the belt. The current generation on top in DDT will not last forever and he is here to be the future.

Guanchulo cashed in his contract and decided to have a match with Kikutaro. The match will take place on 29th March. The other contracts can be cashed in at any show until 2nd August. But just like last year, contracts can change hands if the holder is pinned or submitted in any match held inside Japan. Amon asked if anyone was going to cash in their contract before the April Korakuen show. Endo said he wants to cherish the contract because it’s his first time, so he will not cash it in yet. Sasadango also declined because he wants to train for his title match. Takanashi said he will not betray his “big brother” and will not challenge KUDO. Hirata was the only person who said he will cash in his contract at Korakuen next month.

Retired DDT wrestler Atsuo Sawada was a guest at the show and spoke about the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title that he originally created 14 years ago. He said it was amazing that the championship is close to crowning its 1,000th champion. The 999th champion Sanshiro Takagi knew all too well about this since he was chased by Gorgeous Matsuno and Gota Ihashi throughout the show. During his speech celebrating DDT’s 17th Anniversary, Takagi announced he was sealing the Iron Man Title. Takagi said 999 was a nice number for the title lineage to end and he was also sick of wrestlers constantly attacking him. Sawada protested because he created the title to be defended all the time and to be won by any wrestler or thing. Takagi tried to convince Sawada to accept the decision by comparing the number of title reigns to Galaxy Express 999 but eventually gave up. Amon Tsurumi then announced that the title will be defended in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

Despite losing all three matches in their trial series, Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga finally impressed Amon Tsurumi with their performance. Their KO-D Tag Team Title defeat to the Golden Lovers got Tsurumi to say “Michael & Matsunaga did real good!” Kota Ibushi called both wrestlers strong in the post-match interview but he and Kenny Omega also pointed out that there are no immediate challengers for them to face next.

The Monster Army had its final battle and for the occasion Antonio Honda asked the opposing team if they could drop their guard so the entire Army could do a surprise attack one more time. After the match Honda said the unit will live on in his breast. His nipple to be exact.

Keisuke Ishii has been left feeling depressed after he and Soma Takao failed to win the All Asia Tag Team Titles in All Japan last Tuesday. That match was Ishii’s second chance to win the belts and he came up short again. He considered giving up the challenge and no longer chase after the belts. Amon Tsurumi encouraged Ishii to not give up and if Ishii couldn’t win the belts with Takao then he should try again with Shigehiro Irie. He instructed Ishii to record a video of himself asking for another title match and to send the video to Jun Akiyama.

New trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake fought to a five minute draw in a pre-show exhibition. Afterwards Tsurumi announced that Katsumata will have his debut wrestling match on the next Korakuen show on 29th April. Miyatake asked when he was going to debut. Amon was surprised by the question and told Miyatake that he is 100 years too early to even talk about having a debut.

DDT will get a new show on Samurai! TV soon. The show is called DDT Wrestling Banzai ＼(^o^)／.

6. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (14:39).

KUDO, Masa Takanashi and Yukio Sakaguchi announced the name of their new unit. They are now called Shuten-dōji, named after a Japanese legend who had a thirst for sake. DJ Nira actually came up with the name while drunk. Unfortunately for them their first match under the new name ended in defeat. HARASHIMA and KUDO had a staredown after the match and both teams stepped in to seperate them.

For the last month Soma Takao has gotten the better of Danshoku Dino, highlighted by Takao pinning Dino to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as part of Team Drift. Dino was finally able to get one back and beat Takao in Singles action.

Sanshiro Takagi and Antonio Honda fought in an Infomercial Match that will be aired on Teletama next month. They had to promote Blackout Energy Drink by drinking cans of the product as they wrestled each other. Fans were also given signs advertising the drink to hold during the match. In a sight similar to Stone Cold’s beer bashes, Takagi made Honda spit out the drink with a Stunner and after the match celebrated by smashing cans together and pouring them into his mouth.

The night did not end there for Takagi. He also became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. What makes it special is he became the 999th champion. Kazuki Hirata came to the show as champion but was attacked and pinned backstage by Daisuke Sasaki. Hirata came out at the start of the show demanding Sasaki give the belt back. The Battle Royal began and the belt changed hands from Sasaki to DJ Nira to Makoto Oishi and then back to Hirata who went on to win the match. Hirata reappeared later in the show to brag about winning back the title, even saying “If you smell what Hirata is cookin’!” Takagi snuck into the ring, grabbed the belt, struck Hirata with it and pinned him to win the title. Takagi said he wanted to be the 999th champion and will hold the title forever so nobody can become the 1000th champion!

Dick Togo made an appearance to announce he has moved to Vietnam and will open up a wrestling school there.

*V6 for HARASHIMA.

harashima-masa-somato

HARASHIMA just cannot be stopped, even though not many expected Masa Takanashi to stop him in the first place. Takanashi tried to do everything he could from playing possum to actually trying his best to win but in the end he fell to the Somato just like almost everyone else has during HARASHIMA’s KO-D Openweight Title reign. The next wrestler stepping up to the plate for a title shot is someone close to HARASHIMA, KUDO! HARASHIMA told KUDO he’s been waiting for him and gladly accepted the challenge for the next Korakuen Hall show on 21st March.

golden-lovers-pig

In a company filled with weirdness, it really takes a lot of effort to become the most bizarre challenge for a team like the Golden Lovers. Today that team appeared. The Brahman Brothers are infamous for their matches filled with foreign objects you would never expect to see in wrestling matches. The Brahmans made their entrance spitting water at everybody and soaked Tsurumi Amon with bottled tea. Throughout the match they used bamboo swords, a bucket of water, a chocolate cream cake, a bowling ball, a suitcase, pig feet and finally a decapitated pig’s head to try and defeat the KO-D Tag Team Champions. They also blinded the champions with black ink, Poison Mist style. But Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega later gave them a taste of their own medicine and spat the ink in the faces of the Brahmans. The PK Mind put an end to one of the messiest matches in DDT history.

kudo-sakaguchi

The grudge between KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi was formed when the two would not stop fighting each other during their matches. They finally got a singles match between each other and needless to say, they kicked the crap out of each other! KUDO was the last man standing and got the win with a Backspin Kick.

takao-dino-tonic

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles switched hands as Team Dream Futures defeated The Homo-sapiens. The story of the match was whether or not Keisuke Ishii had the mental strength to resist the Lip Lock from Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Aja Kong. Even though Kong got to kiss Shigehiro Irie, she also got an accidental kiss from Dino when Soma Takao kicked them into each other. Soma went above and beyond to win by countering the Danshoku Driver into the Gin And Tonic and pinning Dino while his head was still in his tights. Keisuke Ishii was thrilled to be a 6-Man Tag Champion again because Drift were the first champions and they had not held the belts for 393 days. Oishi decided to dissolve The Homo-sapiens but also demanded that he, Dino and a new partner should get a rematch.

endo-nakazawa-twister

Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo got off on a great start for their 3 match series. The rookie team defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga in an impressive display. After the match Endo said he and Takeshita were second to none. He then asked Tsurumi who their next opponents are going to be. Tsurumi admitted Nakazawa & Matsunaga were disappointing first choices and announced the rookie’s next match in Osaka on 2nd March will be against Zeus & The Bodyguard!

kakimoto-ironman

Daichi Kakimoto celebrated his final match for DDT by winning the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and then losing it afterwards. The Rumble match saw the belt change hands several times. Yasu Urano went in as champion but was pinned by Emi Sakura with the help of Gaunchulo and DJ Nira. Nira then betrayed Sakura to win the belt from her. Akito submitted Nira and then Kakimoto with the help of Guanchulo and Gota Ihashi won the belt from Akito. Kakimoto went on to win the match as champion and was given a farewell ceremony. Kakimoto said he felt 100 times stronger returning to the ring. Everyone celebrated until Kazuki Hirata suddenly gave Kakimoto a School Boy and ran off with the belt.

takagi-hoshitango-magistral

The opener was fought under Lucha Libre rules, which is becoming common for matches between Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi and the Monster Army. When the rules were announced Owashi got “T2P” chants. The Monster Army suffered another defeat and Antonio Honda was left frustrated. He told his team mates that after working so hard for a year and a half he now realises their goal of purchasing a tank is too great for them to achieve. Honda then announced the Monster Army’s last match will take place next month.

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2014 ~WINTER~” Results

February 11, 2014

masa-kudo-yukio-shima

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2014 ~WINTER~”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
364 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Lucha Libre Rules: Daisuke Sasaki, Guanchulo & Anarko Montaña defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki submitted Hirata with the Campana (9:42).
2. 4 Way Match: Hoshitango defeated MIKAMI, Gota Ihashi and DJ Nira when Hoshitango pinned Ihashi after the Swanton Bomb from MIKAMI (3:55).
3. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi & Akito when Soma pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (9:36).
4. Danshoku Dino defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Danshoku Destroyer (8:19).
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yasu Urano (c) defeated Tetsuya Endo with a Cradle (13:00).
*V1 for Yasu Urano.
6. Kenny Omega defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the One-Winged Angel (18:04).
7. Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & KUDO when Takanashi pinned KUDO after a Knee To The Face from Sakaguchi (13:16).

Call it luck or fortunate circumstances but Masa Takanashi pinned KUDO in the main event to send a message to HARASHIMA. Sure, Yukio Sakaguchi was the one who knocked out KUDO with a knee to the face but Takanashi was the one who pinned him. KUDO got a measure of revenge when he struck Takanashi with a Spin Kick during the post-match promos. KUDO then brawled with Sakaguchi as the show drew to a close.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga tried to summon the powers of Daniel Bryan by getting the fans to chant “Yes! Yes!” during his match with Kenny Omega. Unfortunately the One-Winged Angel put a stop to that harder than Rey Mysterio’s entrance at this year’s Royal Rumble.

Team Dream Futures built some momentum for their upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot when Soma Takao pinned Makoto Oishi. But that momentum was stopped one match later when Danshoku Dino defeated Keisuke Ishii.

Guanchulo’s friend from Chile turned out to be Anarko Montaña from MAX Lucha Libre. Montaña wrestles in a Robin Mask mask and a tartan kilt. Guanchulo & Montaña have sided with the Monster Army for the time being. The opening match was fought under Lucha Libre rules after Sasaki’s team demanded it. Ring announcer Rikiya Shindo was forced to be the second referee with Daisuke Kiso, a decision that angered Yukinori Matsui because he wasn’t picked and he also had to hand over his referee shirt. When the match ended, Matsui got his shirt back by force.

It was announced that Konosuke Takeshita passed his entry exam into the Nippon Sport Science University. To celebrate, he will go through a three match series beginning at the 23/2 Korakuen Hall show. His first match will be himself and Tetsuya Endo against Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga.

Former DDT wrestler Daichi Kakimoto announced he was leaving his job as store manager for the DDT Drop Kick Bar in Shinjuku. Isami Kodaka will become the new store manager next month. Kodaka said he will make Drop Kick become a fun place for people to drink happily.

4. Value Of Man Is Not A Plane! BOYZ Vs YaroZ: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie Vs HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo

As best as I can tell, this is DDT parodying their own BOYZ spin-off brand. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will be the special ring announcer for the show.

The boxing match will be only one round but that round has a 45 minute time limit. Yuzuki Aikawa will be the ring girl.

3. KO-D Tag Team Titles Match: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
4. KO-D Openweight Title Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

DDT’s eternal underdog has gotten himself a KO-D Openweight Title match. Despite a poor record preventing him from earning a title shot normally, Masa Takanashi got his friend Emi Sakura to trick Amon Tsurumi into signing the contract to make the match official.

Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega are going to face a team unlike any other in wrestling today. The Brahman Brothers have terrified many wrestlers, referees and fans alike with their antics. Expect insects, slime and maybe a decapitated animal head or two.

DDT “GALAXY EXPLOSION IN NAGOYA 2014”, 02/02/2014
Nagoya Telepia Hall
550 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

*V1 for Yasu Urano.
6. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Takao pinned Dino with the Gin And Tonic (11:11).
7. DDT Extreme Title – Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii 2-1 (13:48).
7a. Feet Only Death Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Somato (5:01).
7b. Cliff Death Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated HARASHIMA with a Frankensteiner from the apron to the floor (7:27)
7c. 5 Count Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Somato (13:48).
*V4 for HARASHIMA.

HARASHIMA overcame some odd handicaps to defeat Keisuke Ishii in today’s main event. With the DDT Extreme Title on the line, the match was 2 out of 3 Falls with each fall having a different stipulation. Fall 1 had both wrestlers compete with their hands taped to the side of their bodies. Fortunately for both men, their respective finishers did not need use of their arms. But it was HARASHIMA who dodged the Kneel Kick and flattened Ishii with the Somato to win the first round. Fall 2 was a Cliff Death Match as chosen by Ishii, who is a big fan of spots where you throw a wrestler from the apron to the floor. This round went quick because they immediately went to the apron to achieve their goal. Ishii won through with a Frankensteiner, sending HARASHIMA crashing onto the floor outside. Amon Tsurumi announced the final fall would be won when somebody is pinned for five seconds. Ishii came close to victory with a Tiger Suplex and Kneel Kick both getting four count nearfalls. The Somato once again proved to be the difference maker and HARASHIMA kept his championship.

Masa Takanashi had two reasons he needed to beat Yasu Urano. The first was to get back his Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the second was a win over Urano would make him No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. Amon Tsurumi originally refused to give Takanashi a shot at HARASHIMA and made himself the referee to insure it would not happen. Tsurumi constantly got in the way to ruin Takanashi’s momentum and Urano eventually won the match. After the match Amon asked if Takanashi wanted to give up chasing after the title and he sadly said yes.

However, Takanashi showed up at the end of the show challenging HARASHIMA to a KO-D Title match. He even had a contract signed by Tsurumi granting him the match. Tsurumi said it was fake until Takanashi showed him a video he recorded a few days ago. In the video Tsurumi was seen drinking lots of beer with Emi Sakura and Sayaka Obihiro from Gatoh Move. Sakura handed a sheet of paper to a drunk Tsurumi and asked him to sign it, which he did. That piece of paper turned out to be a contract that allowed Masa Takanashi to face HARASHIMA in a KO-D Title match at Korakuen Hall on 23rd February! Back in the arena, Tsurumi apologised to HARASHIMA for what happened but the champion welcomes the challenge.

The Golden Lovers can now without a doubt call themselves the KO-D Tag Team Champions after beating the previous title holders. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto took their defeat gracefully and shook hands with Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega while appealing for one more match. They also said they have now graduated from DDT during a backstage interview. Ibushi & Omega now have to prepare for a very different team, the Brahman Brothers! They were shown a video of the Brahmans challenging them to a match but the way they spoke was difficult to understand. Kenny asked what were they talking about? Ibushi simply said “Insects.” The Golden Lovers Vs Brahman Brothers will take place on 23/2.

KUDO Vs Yukio Sakaguchi was booked for 23/2 after they had to be pulled apart at the end of Match #3.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Somato (21:42).
*V5 for HARASHIMA.
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yasu Urano defeated Masa Takanashi (c) with a School Boy (2:58 pm).
*Yasu Urano becomes the 989th champion.

If he hasn’t proven it already, HARASHIMA is a dominant champion. Shigehiro Irie in my mind had the best shot at becoming the man to win the KO-D Openweight Title from HARASHIMA and he was struck down by the champ today. HARASHIMA called Irie a very strong fighter and told him to challenge again and again. HARASHIMA was asked who he wanted to defend the belt against next. Masa Takanashi came out but Amon Tsurumi flat out told him no. He won’t give him the match because his win-loss record lately is bad. Takanashi said he should get the match because he is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Yasu Urano then snuck behind Takanashi and pinned him with a School Boy to become the new Iron Man Champion. Takanashi then begged for a match with Urano so he can win back that title. Tsurumi booked it for the 2nd February Nagoya show. Tsurumi then apologised to HARASHIMA for not finding a No. 1 Contender.

Yankii Ni Cho Kenji’s goal of achieving 100 KO-D Tag Team Title defences has been cut short by the Golden Lovers. Even worse for the former champions, neither Yuko Miyamoto or Isami Kodaka were pinned to lose the belts. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo were also involved in the 3 Way Tag match after they fought the Golden Lovers to a time limit draw in Osaka two weeks ago. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega were able to isolate Endo and give him the PK Mind Double Tombstone to become the new champions. After the match Kodaka told Ibushi to give them back the belts but Ibushi said no. Kodaka refused to accept the result because neither he or Miyamoto were pinned. Miyamoto demanded a title match against the Lovers and Amon Tsurumi booked it for Nagoya next week. Kenny was okay with the decision because he wants a good challenge and the Yankees are a strong team.

Hikaru Sato fought his final match for DDT today, teaming with Sanshiro Takagi to face Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito. Sakaguchi decided to wrestle the match bare footed when he squared up with Sato. Both had big smiles on their faces as they fought and taunted each other. Sato won his final DDT match by submitting Akito and “Dream Fighter” by Perfume played over the speakers as Takagi, Sakaguchi and Michael Nakazawa gave him their goodbyes. Sato and Nakazawa even shared a kiss! Sato then threw his leg guards and knee pads into the crowd as they chanted his name.

Toru Owashi thought that he and Yoshiko were like brother and sister when they teamed together to beat Makoto Oishi & Saki Akai. Yoshiko pinned Akai to serve the model her first loss in wrestling. When asked about Akai during a post-match interview, Yoshiko said she has not grown as a wrestler since her debut last year. She was asked to compare Akai with Yuzuki Aikawa and she said they don’t compare at all. Akai admitted she was afraid if she messed up and if her body cannot keep up with the other wrestlers in the ring. Oishi consoled her as she began crying. Akai said she will practice more and more and will get revenge on Yoshiko.

A chain of Figure Four Necklocks resulted in the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changing hands four times in four seconds. Masa Takanashi went into the Battle Royal as champion and was able to win back the title before the time ran out. He then lost the belt to Urano at the end of the show.

DDT has a new sponsor on their corner posts. They are sponsored by a PC web browser game called Joshi Wrestling War Ring☆Dream (女子プロレス大戦リング☆ドリーム). As part of this deal Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda and Michael Nakazawa will get gender-swapped versions of themselves added to the game! T-shirts of their characters will also be sold at future DDT shows.

MMA fighter Mitsuyoshi Nakai announced he will compete at the 28th February Hard Hit show. Mitsuyoshi is the son of manga artist Yoshinori Nakai, one half of the Yudetamago duo famous for making Kinnikuman. Hikaru Sato described his fight style as Pancrase-like and he scouted him because of that style. Nakai received an offer to do pro wrestling by Takagi and Sato last year but he wasn’t sure to accept it. However he became a fan of Hard Hit and wanted to take part.

The Brahman Brothers will be on the 23rd February Korakuen Hall show.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2014”, 26/01/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Saki Akai & Makoto Oishi Vs Yoshiko & Toru Owashi
2. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
3. KUDO Vs Danshoku Dino
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs X
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo
6. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie gets his rematch with HARASHIMA from last year’s second Sumo Hall main event. This time Irie is the challenger and HARASHIMA is dealing with now just having two title belts instead of three.

DDT rookies Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo achieved a remarkable result yesterday, wrestling Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega to a 30 minute draw. Both teams were rewarded with a KO-D Tag Team Title shot but it will be in a 3 Way Match against the champions. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto can prove their dominance of the tag team division even more by beating two teams at once.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO CIRCUIT 2013 ROUND 1”, 18/01/2014
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Ayumi Takada
2. Nonoko Vs Yuka Sakazaki
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs KANNA

Miyu Yamashita and KANNA have their first proper match together after a year of facing each other in exhibition bouts. KANNA has yet to beat Yamashita.

Chikage Kiba is unable to wrestle because she has a high school exam on the day of the show.

DDT “GALAXY EXPLOSION IN NAGOYA 2014”, 02/02/2014
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

HARASHIMA’s other title will be defended against Keisuke Ishii. HARASHIMA’s DDT Extreme Title defences have been a wild departure from how he usually wrestles but Ishii seems to be a fairly normal wrestler. Will we get a more traditional stipulation or will HARASHIMA or Ishii show some imagination with their match choice.

UNION “DEMON UNION 2014”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Richard Burn

Union returns to the Pro Wrestling Vs Martial Arts match up that built the company when it was brought back to life in 2005. But I do not expect Shuji Ishikawa and Richard Burn to have such a heated feud that they will eventually fight in a ring filled with scorpions.

ibushi-omega-takeshita-endo

DDT “REVIVAL! OSAKA DOTONBORI STORY 14”, 13/01/2014
Osaka Dotonbori Arena
380 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. La Pete defeated Guanchulo with the RKO (6:41).
2. Next Iron Man Challenger Battle Royal: Masa Takanashi defeated Sanshiro Takagi, MIKAMI, Soma Takao and DJ Nira when Takanashi pinned Nira with the Takatonic (4:20).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Toru Owashi & Akito when Irie pinned Akito with the Flying Sausage (11:06).
4. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Hikaru Sato, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa when KUDO pinned Nakazawa with the Diving Double Knee Drop (14:22).
– Ironman Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA (c) with a School Boy (1:59 pm).
*Masa Takanashi becomes the 980th champion.
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Aja Kong (c) defeated Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Shoichi Uchida when Kong pinned Uchida with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (16:17).
*V1 for The Homo-sapiens.
6. Next KO-D Tag Challenger Final: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

A 30 minute draw was not an expected result in the main event. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo stepped up big time against the Golden Lovers in a match where the winners would get a KO-D Tag Team Title shot. Amon Tsurumi said after the match that he was delighted with the rookies for their growth and now had to decide who would get the title shot. Members of the audience called for a 3 Way between the teams and the champions. Kenny Omega agreed. Kota Ibushi just said he would do his best. Endo called himself and Takeshita the “Future Leaders of DDT” and said they will win the belts.

Masa Takanashi became the No. 1 Contender for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and was quick to use it. He snuck into the ring while HARASHIMA was cutting a post-match promo and pinned him with a School Boy to win the title and end the DDT Triple Crown. HARASHIMA admitted he let his guard down and wants to win back the title.

DDT is aiming to hold a show in Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium for 13th April. It will be a special event for Yukinori Matsui since he will be celebrating his 20th anniversary in wrestling.
