King Of DDT 2019

April 16, 2019

It’s a little early this year but the King Of DDT is back for its 2019 edition. This time around the prize is a KO-D Openweight Title shot at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019” in Ota Ward Gymnasium on 15th July as well as 1,000,000 yen from the distributors of the DDT energy drink BLACK OUT. Only 14 wrestlers are taking part this year and the layout will be explained below. No newcomers, every entry has been in at least one previous King Of DDT tournament.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2019 1ST ROUND”, 29/04/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1A: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda
2. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1B: Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO
3. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1C: Mike Bailey Vs Soma Takao
4. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1D: Akito Vs HARASHIMA
5. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1E: Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1F: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita
7. King Of DDT 2019 – Round 1G: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Every match in the tournament has no time limit. The big match of note is the rematch of Round 1’s final bout from 2018, Kazuki Hirata against Naomi Yoshimura. Hirata was a last minute replacement and he defeated Yoshimura to start a miracle run in the 32 man tournament. Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita is a match between two friends and generational rivals. Akito against HARASHIMA may be a preview of a future DDT Extreme Title match since Akito is challenging for that belt in May. Mike Bailey and Soma Takao are currently clashing in the chaos that is the KO-D Tag Team Titles scene. Last one to keep an eye on is Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda. Those two click as both opponents and tag partners.

Shuten-dōji Farewell, Max Bump Matches, Kaiju Princess, Injuries

April 16, 2019

DDT “SHUTEN-DOJI 5TH ANNIVERSARY ~DRINKING TURNS YOUR LIFE AROUND~”, 17/04/2019
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ebisuko Tavern Presents Tag Gauntlet Match: Poison Sawada JULIE & Hoshihebi Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kappa Kozo (w/ Miyako Haru) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Gorgeous Matsuno & X Vs Emi Sakura & Riho Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda Vs Ryuichi Sekine & SAKAI (w/ Sayaka Obihiro)
2. The Final Battle Of The Last Order Of Peace! Group Drama Of Human Beings Born In Showa And Heisei! Which Is Tomorrow! ☆Saki Akai Styling Match☆: Saki Akai & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Rina Yamashita & Naomi Yoshimura
3. KUDO & HARASHIMA Vs MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba
4. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Masahiro Takanashi

Saki Akai will be creating costumes for everyone involved in her match. The designs will be based on the Showa era of fashion for her team and the Heisei era of fashion for her opponents.

Kazusada Higuchi was missing from this past weekend’s shows because of an infection. He has been given permission from his doctor to take part in tomorrow’s Shuten-dōji farewell show.

Poison Sawada JULIE and one of his creations Hoshihebi have been added to the tag gauntlet. JULIE warns everyone that he will burn down Shinjuku FACE with glowing lotus flames!

Kazuhiko Ogasawara has a left knee injury and will be unable to wrestle. Gorgeous Matsuno will now have a mystery partner for the tag gauntlet.

BASARA “BASARA 94 ~BANQUET~”, 23/04/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizawa
2. Takumi Tsukamoto, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Yasu Urano Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Jun Masaoka
3. Aiseki Tag Vs Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial Combination!: Fuminori Abe & Ikuto Hidaka Vs Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga
4. Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Isami Kodaka, Minoru Fujita & Ryuichi Sekine (c) Vs FUMA, Yusuke Kubo & SAGAT Vs Abdullah Kobayashi, Hideki Suzuki & Yoshihisa Uto
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Best Stretchman V3

For years now Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga have been rivals in the court. They get along when they are away from the criminal justice system so let’s see how they work as a tag team.

Jun Masaoka doesn’t want to get along with anybody but he is pretty much a part of the current BASARA rookie generation. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino have been teaming together anyway. A third partner for them wouldn’t hurt.

DDT “SOUKEN HOLDINGS PRESENTS MAX BUMP 2019”, 28/04/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Pokotan (w/ Danshoku Dieno)
2. Keisuke Okuda Farewell Match: Keisuke Okuda, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kota Umeda, Mizuki Watase & Yuki Iino
3. Saki Akai & Asuka Vs Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani
4. Legendary Wrestler Yoshiaki Yatsu First Match In DDT: Yoshiaki Yatsu, Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Akito, Kazusada Higuchi & Hiroshi Yamato
5. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Antonio Honda
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 4 Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) & Soma Takao Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (?) Vs MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Makoto Oishi

For his first KO-D Openweight Title defence, Tetsuya Endo has chosen Makoto Oishi to be his opponent because he is guaranteed to beat him. That was proven over the weekend when Endo submitted Oishi in the main event of Sunday’s show. Oishi thinks he has a chance because he could outsmart Endo with his wrestling knowledge. Endo thinks he has everything in his arsenal to beat Oishi anyway no matter how Oishi uses his head when they wrestle.

There is a lot of craziness surrounding the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Konosuke Takeshita challenged the new champions DAMNATION because he wants to get revenge for losing the KO-D Title to Daisuke Sasaki in New York. The Moonlight Express want to get their rematch because they are the former champions. Newcomers Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins saw an opportunity to get involved in the title picture and also want to be in the match. So we are getting a 4 Way Match for the belts. Now there is a new bump in the road for ALL OUT because it was announced today that Shunma Katsumata is out of action for an undetermined amount of time with a left ankle injury.

The mascot Pokotan wrestles in a DDT ring for the first time since its debut at “JUDGEMENT 2019”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HEISEI 31 YEARS “AH” IT’S BUSY!”, 29/04/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku
2. Raku Vs Mina Shirakawa
3. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa Vs Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino & Thunder Rosa
5. Sakisama & Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma & YUMI
6. Miyu Yamashita, Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi Vs Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

With Marika Kobashi taking a break from wrestling soon to focus on her education, this may be the last time the Muscle JK Strikers will team together for a while.

Thunder Rosa makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2019 ~OPPORTUNITY IS THERE~”, 03/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi Vs Riho & Raku
2. Sakisama & Misao Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
3. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Maki Itoh
4. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

With 10 defences under her belt and two championships over her shoulders, Miyu Yamashita has been looking mighty unbeatable lately. Yuka Sakazaki has been the same and both of them have more overseas bookings they’re looking forward too. Sadly for Shoko Nakajima when it comes to the most established power trio of Tokyo Joshi she’s been feeling left out. Well no more! Nakajima has challenged Yamashita for the TOKYO Princess Title at Korakuen Hall. Will Anguirus topple Godzilla?

Misao is constantly telling everyone that Hyper Misao is dead and never coming back. Rika Tatsumi doesn’t believe her and is willing to fight her to prove the superhero is still alive in there somewhere. Miu Watanabe has been constantly fighting and losing to NEO Biishiki-gun ever since Misao joined the unit. With the Up Up Girls now down one member and her other partners currently taking separate paths, she gets another chance to stand up to Sakisama.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS VOL. 6 ~YUKINORI MATSUI REFEREE 25TH ANNIVERSARY MEMORIAL CONCERT RUT~”, 26/05/2019
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Gongitsune Vs US Freelance Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kikutaro
2. Super Space Time Wars Kaientai DX Vs Kishiwada Brigade ~ Special Tag Match: Dick Togo & MEN’S Teioh Vs Magnitude Kishiwada & Buffalo
3. Special Tag Match ~Dramatic Dream~: Konosuke Takeshita & HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie & Kazusada Higuchi

Kikutaro’s original opponent Kuishinbo Kamen cannot compete because of an injury so the match has been cancelled. Antonio Honda has asked to be Kikutaro’s new opponent because it is what he wants more than anything else in his life.

Ryota Nakatsu defeated Best Stretchman V3 in a tag match this week but enjoyed wrestling him so much that he granted him a Union MAX Title shot when he asked for one.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WE WILL ROCK YOU 2019” Results

March 23, 2019

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WE WILL ROCK YOU 2019”, 23/03/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
168 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii, Takeshi Okada & Mitsuo Momota defeated Kouki Iwasaki, Chikara & Shuhei Washida when Ishii submitted Washida with a Double Arm Neck Lock (8:02).
2. Heisei Last GanJo Special Tag Match: “Showa”-ko (Bambi) & “Heisei”-ko (Cherry) defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when “Showa”-ko pinned HARUKAZE with the Omata (11:48).
3. Tiger Vs Dragon: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura when Shota submitted Shimomura with the Sharpshooter (9:59).
4. The Challenge Of Cameraman Imanari: Yumehito Imanari Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Double Knockout (18:08).
5. Union Pro Wrestling Memoirs! Daihyo Vs Daihyo, Single Match Of Fate ~ No DQ Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Ken Ohka with the Isamuashi Zan (15:14).

The first singles match between Ken Ohka and Isami Kodaka in many, many years (only one I could find happened in 2007) was a bloody one. It was revealed at the start of the show that the match was now No Disqualifications. Ohka’s head got bloodied when Kodaka threw him into the ring post outside. Kodaka then caused more damage by focusing on the head wound. Ohka returned the favour and busted Kodaka open before hitting him with the Spear Of Fire. Ohka hit a Superplex but Kodaka fired back with a Top Rope Frankensteiner. Kodaka then used a Wrist Clutch to get behind Ohka and hit him with a Knee Strike to the back of the head. That left Ohka as a sitting duck for the Isamuashi Zan.

After the match Kodaka joked that Ohka needs just a little bit more wrestling practice. He also brought up that the first thing he noticed when he showed up in Ganbare☆Wrestling was the enthusiastic atmosphere in the room because of the Ganpro fans. They shook hands and Kodaka declared that Sento Minzoku will withdraw from Ganpro. The feud is over. Kodaka then saw Cherry standing in the corner of the room and said he wanted Naomi Susan to be at the show today too. Kodaka finished his promo by saying even though he lost to Ryota Nakatsu in BASARA, he won’t give up and will climb back up to the top of the independents one more time! Finally, Ohka should call him if he has any problems. Ohka invited him for a drink but Kodaka turned him down because he has a match in K-DOJO tomorrow to prepare for. When Sento Minzoku left, Ohka praised Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota for winning their match against Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura earlier. Ganpro may have ultimately lost the feud but the group will continue to wrestle otherwise there will be no growth for them.

There was one other notable result in the Ganpro Vs Sento Minzoku feud. Yumehito Imanari wasn’t able to beat Minoru Fujita but he didn’t lose either. After a hard fought battle, a strike exchange left both wrestlers down on the mat. Imanari didn’t have enough strength to get back up so instead he used all of his remaining energy to clasp onto Fujita’s leg and keep him from getting up too, resulting in both men getting counted out and the match ending in a Double Knockout. Fujita was confused but he accepted the result because he had no strength left to stand without any support.

Bambi returned to Ganpro in the guise of her old gimmick “Showa”-ko. She wore a mask and a school gym outfit. Cherry joined in by becoming “Heisei”-ko. She wore a sailor uniform and had her face painted to look like heavy ganguro makeup. It looks veeeeery dodgy without context so let’s just leave it at that.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’19 ~ READY SET, GO!” Results

March 23, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’19 ~ READY SET, GO!”, 23/03/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
260 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Hikari Noa defeated Pinano Pipipipi with the Modified Ground Cobra Twist (6:44).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mina Shirakawa and Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Shirakawa with a Crushed Oklahima Roll (9:37).
3. Miyu Yamashita & YUMI defeated Himawari Unagi & Mahiro Kiryu when Yamashita submitted Unagi with the Modified Cobra Clutch (11:40).
4. Natsumi Maki, Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko defeated Rika Tatsumi, Marika Kobashi & Raku when Maki pinned Raku with the Backlash (9:34).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Yuki Aino & Miu Watanabe when Misao pinned Watanabe with the Dies Irae (14:38).
6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku when Sakazaki pinned Kamifuku with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (13:12).
*V5 for the Magical Sugar Rabbits.

The TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match took an unusual turn when Yuki Kamifuku disappeared and was replaced by a Good Looking Guy. The appearance of this Good Looking Guy motivated Yuna Manase until the Magical Sugar Rabbits pulled off the Guy’s jacket and sunglasses to reveal it was just Kamifuku in disguise. The Rabbits flattened the Kano Sisters with a Double Cross Body then Mizuki got Manase out of the ring. Kamifuku tried to fight back against Kamifuku but her Fame Asser was countered into into the Magical Merry Go Round. Yuka Sakazaki then hit the Magical Magical Girl Splash to win the match. The champions admitted today turned out to be a risky defence because their usual wrestling pace was broken by their challengers.

Misao is now winning matches but she isn’t satisfied. She feels miserable and curses her weakness. Sakisama says everyone has a destiny when they are born. Sakisama was born to be loved and convey beauty to the world. Others are born to give her a sense of superiority. Misao said they do not need weeds in this beautiful world for Sakisama.

Rika Tatsumi started her match wanting to do the Good Night Express instead of Raku. Everyone else even Tatsumi’s tag partners decided to do the Good Night Express on Tatsumi instead.

Pom Harajuku nearly won the 3 Way Match by pulling off a favourite trick of mine on her opponents. When Shoko Nakajima and Mina Shirakawa were battling over a Backslide Pin spot, Harajuku trip both of them as their arms were locked up and rolled the both of them onto their shoulders for a double pin. Both kicked out, Nakajima hit Harajuku with the 619, Shirakawa tried to give Nakajima an Oklahoma Roll but it was blocked and Nakajima pressed down on her to get the three count. Nakajima was frustrated over the result.

Hikari Noa and Pinano Pipipipi shared a bottle of tea together in the ring before their match as a sign of a clean fight. Noa instead knocked the bottle into Pinano and started the match.

NEO Biishiki-gun again interrupted the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performance at the start of the show.

It was announced that Tokyo Joshi Pro’s next show at Korakuen Hall after 3rd May will take place on 25th August. This is following the same Korakuen schedule from last year.

Thunder Rosa will make her Tokyo Joshi debut on 3rd May.

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI SUPER ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN ABEMA TOWERS”, 29/03/2019
Tokyo Abema Towers

1. X Vs X

In 2017 DDT went to CyberAgent headquarters to cause some havoc with their Rojo Pro Wrestling show. Some time has passed and DDT is ready to create more havoc in the workplace, this time over in Abema Towers. The reason for this is because Danshoku Dieno once again wants to search for the CyberAgent president. The last time he did this his plot was to frame the president with a gay love scandal so the company stock would plummet. Dieno would then buy up the stock and rebuild the company in his own image.

Wrestlers advertised to appear on the show include Shiro Koshinaka, Sanshiro Takagi, Danshoku Dieno, Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA, MAO, Isami Kodaka and Miyu Yamashita. Other guests include Tenshin Nasukawa, Kurochan and gravure idol Yuka Kuramochi.

With Hisaya Imabayashi guiding them, the wrestlers have held regular meetings to put their card together. DDT management have been so impressed by the project so far that they are giving more chances for wrestlers to book their own matches on future shows.

DDT “SOUKEN HOLDINGS PRESENTS MAX BUMP 2019”, 28/04/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Antonio Honda
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

There are three definite KO-D Openweight Title matches on schedule for the next few months, no matter who the champion is. If Konosuke Takeshita can beat Jiro Kuroshio at the end of this month and survive any Right To Challenge cash ins, then his next defence will be on 28th April.

There is nothing more exciting in wrestling for Antonio Honda than fighting for the DDT Extreme Title. So when he had the chance to challenge HARASHIMA for the belt he wasted no time in taking it. That mean Honda entered the ring wearing only his shirts, underwear and socks. Now that’s commitment.

Hiroshi Yamato and Asuka will be on the show.

8b. Telephone Death Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Muscle Sakai
8c. Daruma-san ga Koronda Death Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Muscle Sakai

HARASHIMA & Muscle Sakai took some time this week to look over all of the gimmick suggestions for their DDT Extreme Title match. They eventually agreed to a Best 2 out of 3 Falls match with their three favourite stipulations. One fall will have the winner be the person being pinned for three seconds, the opposite of how you usually win a wrestling match. Another fall will be a Telephone Death Match where both men must wrestle while they are calling somebody on their phones. They must have a reason for calling certain people and if the person on the line figures out there is a wrestling match going on then that wrestler is disqualified. The third fall (I’m unsure if these are in the right order) will be a wrestling version of the playground game Daruma-san ga Koronda. Somebody (the ref?) will be facing away from the wrestlers but when that person turns around and shouts “daruma-san ga koronda” the wrestlers must freeze in place until the person looks away again. If a wrestler moves when they are supposed to be frozen they will lose.

Another idea is replace the ALL OUT team with the Ueno, Yoshimura & HARASHIMA for a full blown DISASTER BOX match.

Memories of Union Pro will come flooding back when Ken Ohka and Isami Kodaka face off. Both of them have long and storied histories with the sub-promotion during its ten year existence. Kodaka was there from the start while Ohka arrived six months after him. They have grown and evolved a lot since its closure.
