2. Kyushu Selection Army Vs DDT Sekigun – All Out War: Kota Ibushi, Yuto Aijima & Azul Dragon defeated Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa when Ibushi pinned Nakazawa with the Sit Down Last Ride (12:18).

4. 3 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Maki Ito defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi when Oishi pinned Takagi after Ito used the Poison Mist (11:44).
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi, MIKAMI & Tetsuya Endo defeated HARASHIMA (c), KUDO & Yasu Urano by Referee Stoppage when Sakaguchi used the Sleeper Hold on HARASHIMA (13:50).
*Yukio Sakaguchi becomes the 978th champion.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Miyamoto pinned Ishii with the Pivot Fire Thunder (13:26).
*V6 For Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.

The defences just keep on coming for the KO-D Tag Team Champions, this time with a victory over Team Dream Futures. After the match Yuko Miyamoto said that even though a certain newspaper didn’t give them an award this year, they have defended the championships well. Isami Kodaka welcomed many more challenges from Drift because they will beat them every time. Keisuke Ishii doesn’t see the funny side. Today was his 6th straight KO-D Tag Team Title match defeat (including the match where he and Irie lost the titles). He thought the experience gained in All Japan recently would help himbut instead he is left feeling very frustrated. However he will not give up and still wants to go after the KO-D Tag Titles and also the All Asia Tag Team Titles. Shigehiro Irie promised Ishii he will work hard and Soma Takao said he wants to get a Tag Title shot too.

Yukio Sakaguchi scored a major victory over HARASHIMA just over a week before they face off for the KO-D Openweight Title. Sakaguchi choked out the champion with a Sleeper Hold, forcing the referee to stop the match and award his team with the win. As a result, Sakaguchi also became the new Iron Man Heavymtalweight Champion, ending HARASHIMA’s DDT Triple Crown reign.

Sanshiro Takagi’s weird grudge with idol groups not called AKB48 returned with this 2-on-3 Handicap match. Takagi and Toru Owashi will soon reunite with Akebono to defend their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Aja Kong. But today Takagi & Owashi faced Dino, Oishi and Maki Ito from the group LinQ. Ito’s wrestling debut was not pleasant. When she got into the ring with Takagi, she was given a Giant Swing while her group’s new song “Colourful Days” was playing over the speakers. She also was the victim of a backfired double team move involving her face being shoved into Dino’s exposed backside. Things were looking bleak until Oishi countered Takagi’s Sunflower Bomb into a Frankensteiner. Ito then suddenly spat Poison Mist into Takagi’s eyes, distracting him enough for Oishi to pin him afterwards.

Batten Tamgawa riled up the crowd with his Americanisms before his match with Antonio Honda by mocking the local food. Honda however was not buying it and wrestled the match trying to get Tamagawa to admit he actually eats the Japanese food he was making fun of. Honda succeeded and a defeated Tamagawa admitted he loves the food in Hakata. He apologised for pretending to be American and will move to the area next year.

Michael Nakazawa bragged to his Kyushu opponents about how cool Tokyo is before the DDT Vs Kyushu 6-Man Tag match. Naturally he was defeated.

Maki Ito is a member of idol music group LinQ, who all appeared at DDT’s Sumo Hall shows back in August.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi came out to side with Ito and it was decided those three will face Takagi & Toru Owashi in Hakata next month.

*V3 for HARASHIMA’s KO-D Title. V1 for HARASHIMA’s Iron Man Title. Antonio Honda fails in V2. HARASHIMA becomes the 24th DDT Extreme Champion!

HARASHIMA continues to dominate in DDT and now finds himself as a Triple Crown Champion! He defeated Antonio Honda in a triple title match. HARASHIMA defended his KO-D Openweight and Iron Man Heavymetalweight Titles while Honda put his DDT Extreme Title on the line. It was a chance for Honda to bring out his best for the championship just like he did against GENTARO and Dick Togo over two years ago. But HARASHIMA proved too strong and was the last man standing. After the match HARASHIMA told Honda he is amazing and thanked him for a fun match. Amon Tsurumi approached the champion and asked him who he wanted to face in Korakuen Hall on 17th November for a KO-D Title match. However, HARASHIMA instead wanted to defend the DDT Extreme Title and he wanted to defend it against Honda! The two shook hands to confirm the rematch.

Akebono may be the new AJPW Triple Crown Champion, but he had more pressing matters to deal with today in DDT. That’s right, he had to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! He, Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi were able to beat Team Dream Futures to mark their second defence of the titles. Takagi said Team Drift were strong but were also stunk as opponents. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi showed up afterwards to challenge the champions and Akebono was not happy to see Dino. Since Akebono will be busy in All Japan, Takagi arranged a Six-Man Tag Team match between himself, Owashi & Kazuki Hirata against Dino, Oishi & their currently unknown partner to determine if they will be No. 1 Contenders. Dino told Akebono he is looking forward to facing him. Akebono then told Takagi to “Please win!”

The Golden Lovers have become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after winning the 3-Way Tag match. They will face Yuko Miyamoto and the new BJW Death Match Champion, Isami Kodaka at the 17/11 Korakuen show.

Saki Akai told Mio Shirai after their tag match that she does not play around. She told the crowd that she was really happy to wrestle here because she was born in Osaka and her father competed and even retired in this building. She promised to be stronger when she returns. She also thanked Yukio Sakaguchi for encouraging her and wants to team with him again.

Popularity power can only take you so far. Danshoku Dino earned his place in the main event by winning the 2013 DDT48 General Election. He put his Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line against HARASHIMA, with his KO-D Openweight Title up for grabs as well. Dino dug deep but was not strong enough to dethrone the champion. However, he kept fighting until he could not do so anymore. HARASHIMA got near falls with the Somato. Dino got one last chance shot with the Gay-do Clutch but HARASHIMA kicked out and followed up with a Running Knee Lift. Dino collapsed and the referee called for the match to end in HARASHIMA’s favour. Dino was dejected after the match and hid his head under his hands sadly reminding himself that he won the DDT48 Election.

The dreaded Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament made a surprise return after the main event. The 18-person tournament was done to determine the No. 1 contender for the KO-D Title. Antonio Honda was the last man standing and he will face HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title in Osaka on 2th November. Sanshiro Takagi appeared to officiate the semi finals but couldn’t do the final due to muscle tension. Luckily Ryota Yamasato, the Nankai Candies member who was involved with DDT’s Sumo Hall shows this year was in the audience and stepped in to judge the final.

Some bad blood between Kota Ibushi and Hikaru Sato was rekindled after the semi-main event. The two brawled with each other even though the match was over. The match itself spilled out of the ring and into the crowd, highlighted by Ibushi Moonsaulting onto Sato from one of the spectator entrances.

Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Konosuke Takeshita with a little help from his tambourine. Afterwards he happily thanked everyone and Takeshita for the match, then told Takeshita that there is no need for two people in the entertainment industry to be nicknamed “The Future”. He will now take the name solely for himself. Takeshita shut him up with a Dropkick but Fukuda was still able to have the last word. “Perfect…”

There was a problem with the DDT Extreme Title match. Antonio Honda and Super Sasadango Machine both arrived to the building feeling incredibly tired. When the time came for the champion Honda to decide what the rules of the match should be, both he and Sasadango fell asleep in the ring. When it became time for the match to begin Amon Tsurumi made the decision himself and made it a Sleep Prevention Death Match where the goal is to make your opponent fall asleep for three seconds. A futon was placed in the ring and the lights dimmed as the match began. Sasadango gave Honda a Suplex onto the futon for a “two count”. Honda then put Sasadango in a Sleeper Hold for another “two count”. An energy drink was brought into the ring only for the spokesperson to Lariat both wrestlers and Hulk out afterwards. Honda got to the energy drink first and then knocked off Sasadango’s mask with a Diving Fist Drop, revealing him to be Muscle Sakai. Sakai recovered and hit Honda with a Missile Dropkick. He did one more but landed on top of the futon where he fell asleep. Honda gently pulled the duvet over Sakai for the “three count” and successfully defended his DDT Extreme Title. After the match Honda thanked the fans for coming to see the show or for watching it on Samurai! TV and said the match felt like he was in a dream.

After Super Sasadango Machine woke up, Saki Akai appeared and said she will team up with Yukio Sakaguchi for a mixed gender tag match in Osaka on 11th November. Amon Tsurumi titled their match the Eagles II Rocky Of Naniwa II Tag.

Isami Kodaka, Makoto Oishi and Yasu Urano together yelled “We are KAIENTAI DOJO!” before their match with the Team Dream Futures. The three wrestlers all began their careers in K-DOJO before eventually finding their way to DDT and Union.

Tetsuya Endo announced he will return to action on 27th October after recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

Tokyo Women’s Wrestling announced a new trainee, Ayumi Takada. She will debut on their first proper show in Kitizawa on 1/12.

The dark match had everyone involved break into song midway through the contest.

DDT48 General Election Ranking In Parentheses

0. Dark Match – 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (#23) Vs Michael Nakazawa (#14) & DJ Nira (#25)

7. KO-D Openweight Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) (#4) Vs Danshoku Dino (c) (#1)

The entire reason the DDT48 General Election exists finally pays off with this show on Sunday. Everyone on the card was voted in by the results of the election.

The main event is now a double title match. Danshoku Dino won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from KUDO in Sapporo last week. He promises to defeat HARASHIMA so he can hold both the KO-D Openweight Title and Iron Man Title at the same time. The last time both titles were defended in the same match was Kota Ibushi Vs Yoshihiko in 2009, one week shy of it being exactly four years ago. Ibushi won that match but Yoshihiko won back the Iron Man Title almost immediately afterwards. So yeah, don’t be surprised if something like that happens again.

The stipulations for the DDT Extreme Title match between Antonio Honda and the instantly popular Super Sasadango Machine will be announced during the show.

ddt-harashima-irie

HARASHIMA is once again the man to beat in DDT. He defeated Shigehiro Irie in the main event of DDT’s biggest show of the year. He ended the most successful KO-D Openweight Title reign to date and in the process cements his own dominance of the belt by becoming a 5-time (x5) KO-D Champion.

ibushi-rainmaker

Kota Ibushi got his own Rainmaker entrance for his match against Kazuchika Okada. But instead of raining dollars, he got raining lottery tickets instead.

The Yankees are taking over the tag team division! Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka are now the KO-D Tag Team Champions. They immediately set a goal to defend the titles 100 times to prove how strong they are. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma earned the first title shot by winning the 4-Way Tag match earlier in the show.

danshoku-train

Yuzuki Aikawa made an appearance as a bouncy reporter for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Title match. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi and Akebono won the Falls Count Anywhere dark match against the Monster Army to get the title shot. Even with the disadvantage of already wrestling outside the arena earlier in the day, Takagi’s team were able to win the titles from Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Kensuke Sasaki. The dark match involved bicycles, Akebono trying to flush Jun Kasai down the toilet, brawling inside a locker room bath and a castle of chairs toppling down.

Konosuke Takeshita requested a rematch with Katsuhiko Nakajima after their bout.

Saki Akai admitted after her debut match that she did not realise how tiring pro wrestling is. However, she can see wrestling becoming a habit for her and she now wants to love it.

akahiro

DJ Nira got a measure of revenge on the painting that won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. Nira got past Komyo’s bodyguards, knocked it over, climbed the top rope, opened up his umbrella and delivered a Diving Stomp onto the painting to win back the title. But his celebration was short lived when Akihiro appeared. Who is Akihiro you ask? She is Yoshihiko’s sister! The doll cleared through everyone that was left in the ring including Nira to win the Battle Royal and become Iron Man Champion.

DDT returns to Sumo Hall on 17th August 2014. They will also announce their business strategy for 2014 and 2015 at the 29/9 Korakuen Hall show.

Applications are currently being accepted for the 2013 DDT48 General Election and with 22nd August as the closing date for wrestlers to declare their candidacy.
