Two years later and the Matsui’s 25th Anniversary Match can now finally take place!

Daisuke Sekimoto will be on the show.

DDT “DRAMATIC HYAKUMANGOKU! 2020” Results

March 22, 2020

DDT “DRAMATIC HYAKUMANGOKU! 2020”, 22/03/2020
Kanazawa Distribution Hall
193 Fans

1. Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Keigo Nakamura & Hideki Okatani when Yoshimura pinned Okatani with a Crab Hold (9:23).
2. Akito defeated Kazuki Hirata by Countout (8:02).
3. MAO & Antonio Honda defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie when MAO pinned Paulie with the Cannonball 450 (10:59).
*MAO wins Mad Paulie’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
4. Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya when Sakaguchi pinned Naya with the God’s Right Knee (11:06).
5. Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka defeated Mike Bailey & Mizuki Watase when Ohka pinned Watase with the Fire Spear (12:51).
6. Kanazawa Specialty! Stubborn Special Tag Match: CIMA & Soma Takao defeated Chris Brookes & Makoto Oishi when CIMA pinned Oishi with the Mad Splash (11:02).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo, T-Hawk & El Lindaman defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino (c) when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Shooting Star Press (19:28).
*ALL OUT fails in V4. #DAMNHEARTS becomes the 40th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The Business Alliance between DAMNATION and #STRONGHEARTS are going from strength to strength. Now they have title belts to share between them because Tetsuya Endo, T-Hawk & El Lindaman are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! The title change happened when Endo wiped out Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Iino with a Sasuke Special. In the ring T-Hawk & Lindaman gave Shunma Katsumata a Double Impact Codebreaker. Endo then came back to pin Katsumata with the Shooting Star Press. After the match Endo revealed the official name of the Business Alliance. They figured out how to mash the two unit names together and they are now called #DAMNHEARTS! Their first defence is against DISASTER BOX on 4th April.

The next goal for #DAMNHEARTS is for CIMA & Soma Takao to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. That way all of the full time members will be a champion, except for Mad Paulie but he doesn’t seem to mind (even though he lost his Right To Challenge Gauntlet to MAO earlier in the show). CimaSoma are making progress on earning their tag title shot. The two Mad Splash combo is continuing to win them matches.

Toru Owashi brought Ken Ohka’s father to ringside so they could cheer Ohka on. Owashi got so into it he forgot he was part of the match and Ohka couldn’t tag him in. He got back in, gave Mike Bailey & Mizuki Watase a Double Choke Slam and set Ohka up to hit the match winning Fire Spear. Owashi told the crowd that today was the first time he and Ohka teamed together since February 2013. Ohka said he was upset because next week’s Bakuha Koshien show was postponed. But once he got back in the ring this weekend to wrestle again he remembered how fun pro wrestling can be.

Yukio Sakaguchi and the rest of Eruption have had a busy weekend wrestling for both DDT and Ganbare☆Wrestling. Sakaguchi said it is giving him a good feel for challenging Masato Tanaka over the KO-D Openweight Title soon. Higuchi got the word out that he is chasing after the Saitama Super Arena Sword because he wants to, not because Sakaguchi told him to.

By being on the winning side today, Antonio Honda thinks he has earned a DDT UNIVERSAL Title shot. He asked Daisuke Sasaki again for a match. He got Sasaki to meditate so he could decide on a clear mind. Sasaki meditated then turned down the challenge again. Honda had to go find Hisaya Imabayashi after the show and use meditation on him to get the title shot. Sasaki Vs Honda for the UNIVERSAL Title will now take place on 19th April.

Kazuki Hirata appeared on the balcony to dance during his entrance. He brought Akito up to the balcony and knocked him out with the Tegatana Chop. Hirata then put on the Hirata GO! glasses and danced in the balcony while Akito escaped back down to the ring. Hirata was still dancing when he got counted out.

Bakuha Koshien Tag Participants, KO-D Tag Title Match Moved

March 15, 2020

DDT “DRAMATIC HYAKUMANGOKU! 2020”, 22/03/2020
Kanazawa Distribution Hall

1. Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Keigo Nakamura & Hideki Okatani
2. Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie Vs MAO & Antonio Honda
4. Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka Vs Mike Bailey & Mizuki Watase
5. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
6. Kanazawa Specialty! Stubborn Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Makoto Oishi Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo, T-Hawk & El Lindaman

We can only wait and see what gets announced over the next couple of days. The next DDT show on the schedule is supposed to be “JUDGEMENT 2020 ~DDT 23RD ANNIVERSARY~” this Friday. For now it is still going to happen but who knows if a decision gets made to cancel it. DDT are still announcing card updates for the shows still on schedule even if it turns out to be a pointless exercise in hindsight.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN FEDERATION “ELECTRIC BLAST 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR ~BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2020 IN TOYAMA~”, 28/03/2020
Nanto City Fukuno B & G Ocean Center

1. Bakuha Koshien Tournament In Toyama – Round 1: Atsushi Onita & Chris Brookes Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shota
2. Bakuha Koshien Tournament In Toyama – Round 1: Ken Ohka & Miyako Matsumoto Vs Kazunari Murakami & Yukio Naya
3. Yuna Manase Vs Sae
4. Keisuke Ishii & Gota Ihashi Vs Kouki Iwasaki & Washi Sakurai
5. Bakuha Koshien Tournament In Toyama – Final: X & X Vs X & X

16/3 EDIT: The show has been postponed. No new date has been announced.

The next Bakuha Koshien show will be held near Ken Ohka’s hometown. Atsushi Onita said Ohka’s father has been working hard at selling tickets for the show. If the event was to be cancelled because of the Coronavirus then it would do catastrophic damage to Mr. Ohka’s finances. So Onita wants this show to go ahead no matter what and they will fight as if they are trying to blow up Coronavirus itself! According to Ken Ohka, his father told him how proud he is for his child to grow up and become a pro wrestler.

Yukio Naya found the strongest tag partner around. Kazunari Murakami! This left Onita disappointed because his treatment of Naya up to now was meant to build Naya up in his image. Instead Naya has gone out and found an outlaw in Murakami to run wild through the tournament.

Chris Brookes always wanted to take part in an explosion death match but it was just a dream until he moved to Japan. He promises to blow up Shota’s head with the current blast baseball bat. At the last show Yumehito Imanari got to team with Onita so this time he is looking forward to fighting against him.

The one name sticking out like a sore thumb is Miyako Matsumoto. She doesn’t even want to take part in a Current Blast Match because she finds them scary. But courage can create miracles so she will take the risk and enter the tournament as Ohka’s tag partner.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2020”, 12/04/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs MAO & Mike Bailey

The postponed KO-D Tag Team Titles match has been moved to the April Korakuen Hall show.

20. Spring Beautiful One Day Tournament – Final: X Vs X

Talk about coming up with a creative solution when your back is against the wall. Tokyo Joshi Pro’s idea for their replacement show in the Ochanomizu Dojo is a massive one day tournament. They even got a sponsor for it! The winner receives a meal ticket for Genghis Khan Kirishima, a lamb meat restaurant located near Korakuen Hall.

From the 1st Round to the end of the Quarter Finals, all matches have a 5 minute time limit with 2 Count Pin rules. In the case of a tie, the winner is determined with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

The Semi Finals have a 5 minute time limit with regular 3 Count Pin rules. In the case of a tie, the match restarts with sudden death One Count Pin rules.

The Final is a 10 minute time limit with regular 3 Count Pin rules. In the case of a tie, the match restarts with sudden death One Count Pin rules.

5. DISASTER BOX Vs ALL OUT!: HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Royce Chambers

Yuki Ueno injured his ankle during yesterday’s match. He will be out of action for a while but it doesn’t sound like it will be long enough to vacate the KO-D Tag Team Titles. This leads to a change in the card with DISASTER BOX Vs ALL OUT becoming a full on 8-Man Tag Match. ALL OUT becomes AUSTRALIAN ALL OUT with the DDT debut of Royce Chambers.

DDT “DDT UNIVERSE LIVE! ONE CHAN TUESDAY”, 03/03/2020
Tokyo Ochanomizu Dojo

1. Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Time Difference Battle Royal: Soma Takao Vs Yuki Ueno Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs MAO Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Mizuki Watase Vs Yukio Naya

The change in scenery is not dampening my enthusiasm for Chris Brookes Vs Chambers.

Kanazawa Distribution Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo, T-Hawk & El Lindaman

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN KANAZAWA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORIYASAI~” Results

April 17, 2016

higuchi-dino-harashima

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN KANAZAWA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORIYASAI~”, 16/04/2016
Kanazawa Distribution Hall
126 Fans

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Akito, Makoto Oishi & Hiroshi Fukuda when Hirata pinned Fukuda with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (9:50).
2. Tetsuya Endo defeated Mao Inoue with the Torture Rack Bomb (11:41).
3. Danshoku Dino defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Danshoku Driver (6:04).
*Danshoku Dino wins Kouki Iwasaki’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
4. Daisuke Sasaki & Guanchulo defeated Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita when Sasaki submitted Honda with La Mistica Cross Facelock (11:37).
*Daisuke Sasaki wins Antonio Honda’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
5. Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Sakaguchi pinned Ishii with the Right Knee Of God (12:37).
6. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata when HARASHIMA pinned Katsumata with the Somato (17:36).

The Danshoku Dino hid in a corner with a blanket draped over him during the entrances for the main event. With three Right To Challenge Contracts now in his possession he could cash in for a title shot, lose a contract should he be defeated and still have one contract remaining for another go. However he instead got cold feet when both HARASHIMA and Kazusada Higuchi stared at him. Dino said he just wanted to see a sporting contest between those two and made them shake each other’s hand before leaving.

In a small preview of the KO-D Tag Team Title Next Challenger match, Shuten-dōji defeated Drift in the semi-main event. After taking the pin Keisuke Ishii said he is now in a state of crisis over the match. How can he & Shigehiro Irie go after the tag titles if they can’t beat the competition?

Another Right To Challenge movement took place when Daisuke Sasaki made Antonio Honda submit in Match #4. Sasaki currently isn’t interested in going after the KO-D Openweight Title. He instead wondered if he could use the contract to marry Candice LeRae. He came to the conclusion that he will need to collect all five active contracts to make that happen.

HARASHIMA has a shot at taking the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title from Kazusada Higuchi before their KO-D Openweight Title Match. Also Kouki Iwasaki will be back from injury so he may not be at 100%.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO X IDOL “SHIBUYA NIGHT DANGER!”, 18/04/2016

Heddi French is a French wrestler who has wrestled in IGF and Big Japan in the past. He also fought Yukio Sakaguchi in Hard Hit last year.

DDT “DNA 16”, 11/05/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. KENSO Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. Kota Umeda Vs Shunma Katsumata

Umeda’s been a bit distant from the rest of DNA ever since he joined Shuten-dōji. A clash with Shunma Katsumata at DNA 15 sets up this match here.

KENSO makes his presence felt in DNA. Iwasaki is there to defend the brand’s honour.
