7. DDT Extreme Title – Hiroshima Toyo Rules: Danshoku Dino (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Lip Lock (11:37).
*V1 for Danshoku Dino.

To celebrate the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team winning the Central League pennant for the first time in 25 years, Danshoku Dino decided to base the DDT Extreme Title match rules on the team’s history and achievements. During the match every second of a pinfall will be added together. Whoever is doing the pin on the 25th total second will win the match. Other ways to win were to name the ten most recent managers of the Hiroshima baseball team or name at least ten foreigners who played for the team. The match began with Dino and Keisuke Ishii trading two count pins. Dino then got to pin Ishii for 5 more seconds after doing multiple pins and also the Danshoku Nightmare. The count went up to 11 when Ishii pinned Dino with a Diving Senton, then up to 13 after a Missile Dropkick. Dino put Ishii in the Lip Lock and pinned him for two seconds. Ishii then Kangaroo Kicked Dino for another two count, then brought the count up to 24 with a Fisherman Suplex, the Kneel Kick and a Tiger Suplex. Dino avoided a Brainbuster but could not hit the Danshoku Driver. Ishii tried to roll him over for the final pin count but Dino caught him in another Lip Lock and scored the winning 25th second pinfall. After the match Dino remembered they could have named the managers and foreign players instead of wrestling so he listed them off. Dino thanked Ishii for helping him create a nice memory for such a historic day in the city. They then led the fans in chanting for the team to end the show.

Konosuke Takeshita said he had a strange feeling while wrestling Dick Togo. It was amazing and intense and he wants to do it again. Antonio Honda said Togo hasn’t changed even though he last wrestled against him five years ago.

As DAMNATION entered the ring for their match, Shuji Ishikawa held the KO-D Openweight Title belt in Kazusada Higuchi’s sight. The two looked ready to face off when Tetsuya Endo stepped in wanting to start the match. Higuchi then stepped back and Yoshihiro Takayama took his place. Endo and Daisuke Sasaki tagged back and forth while trying to weaken Takayama with Low Kicks. DAMNATION were able to keep the two larger opponents away while Sasaki tapped out Kouki Iwasaki to win. Ishikawa began a promo about how both he and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp were both champions but Sasaki kicked him aside and cut him off to brag about DAMNATION’s dominance. He called both Higuchi and Takayama “Dwarf Motherfuckers”.

After yesterday’s defeat, Kazuki Hirata bounced back by pinning Soma Takao in another tag match. Hirata now thinks he has the momentum going into Osaka for the AJPW Jr. Title match. He thinks he has turned everyone’s expectations around.

2. Hamamatsu Specialty! Continued Small Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Yasu Urano with (9:17).
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Kota Umeda when Higuchi submitted Takanashi with the Canadian Backbreaker (11:21).
4. This Jewel Box Of The Wrestling World! – 6-Man Tag Team Match: Danshoku Dino, Joey Ryan & Yoshihiko defeated Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & Saki Akai when Dino, Ryan & Yoshihiko all pinned Oishi after the 4P Driver (14:33).
5. Emperor & Wrestling Master Vs Smile Squash! Special Tag Match: Yoshihiro Takayama & Dick Togo defeated HARASHIMA & Akito when Togo pinned Akito with the Diving Senton (13:29).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when Sasaki submitted Honda with La Mistica Cross Facelock (19:23).

Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo continued fighting out of the ring after the main event. As they were pulled apart Takeshita yelled at Endo “At Osaka just remember. Fight fair and square.” Daisuke Sasaki taunted Takeshita and dared him to fight Endo. He said next week Endo will stab the final nail in Takeshita’s coffin. Then on the 25th he and Endo will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles for DAMNATION.

Yoshihiro Takayama & Dick Togo were successful in their first time tagging together. However both of them don’t know if they will continue teaming together in the future. Takayama noted how hard HARASHIMA kicks while Togo thought wrestling against Akito was a fresh experience.

After winning their match Danshoku Dino, Joey Ryan & Yoshihiko declared they are the most dangerous trio the city of Hamamatsu have ever seen. They won by giving Makoto Oishi a triple team Danshoku Driver.

One day away from his DDT Extreme Title shot, Keisuke Ishii remembers when he won the belt for the first time. He was booed back then although in that situation he was an outsider wrestling in Union Pro. He thinks this time when he wins it will be different.

Soma Takao sent a message to Kazuki Hirata by pinning him in the opening tag bout. The AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion said Hirata isn’t good enough to help him become a stronger champion.

Kyoto KBS Hall

2. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Cross Armbreaker (8:32).

6. Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Polly when Urano pinned Polly with a Cradle (13:51).
7. Local Triumph Of Saki Akai! Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Saki Akai, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Cherry when Akai pinned Cherry with the Rookie Award (17:01).

DDT ventured into KBS Hall for the first time in five years. The last show is remembered for the “Zundoko Bus Incident” where the tour bus broke down on the Tomei Expressway as it was driving to the venue. The bus broke down again on the way home after the show. This show was also a homecoming for Saki Akai. She got to be in the main event with Shuten-dōji against Cherry & Happy Motels. Cherry wasn’t happy that Akai was getting all of the attention because today was also Cherry’s 42nd birthday! Akai started off the match with Antonio Honda who could not hold back his excitement when they locked up. When they broke apart Honda said Akai smelt good. Honda kept trying to smell Akai’s hair when they were in the ring together. Akai fought out of Honda’s perverted attacks and was left to go against Cherry while their partners fought each other outside the ring. Akai rolled away from the Cherryton Bomb and got the win when she hit Cherry with a Diving Cross Body followed by the Rookie Award kick.

In the final skirmish before their KO-D Tag Team Title Match, Akito & Yasu Urano got the win over Daisuke Sasaki and his pet Mad Polly. The match went wrong for Sasaki when Polly accidentally hit him with a Hammer Punch. Urano then rolled up Polly for the three count. Sasaki pressed his tag title belt against Urano’s head during their staredown after the match.

A castle of chairs was constructed for the Heian-kyō Tag Death Match. Sanshiro Takagi said the chiar castle represented Kiyomizu-dera, a temple found in Kyoto. The temple collapsed when Kazuki Hirata was thrown into it but he soon emerged from the rubble wearing his HIRATA GO! glasses. He struck Danshoku Dino in the ass with a chair during his dance and then pinned Makoto Oishi with the Viagra Driver.

AXES Sapporo
810 fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

4. SPW South East Asia Title: Masa Takanashi (c) defeated Antonio Honda with the Takatonic (9:45).

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Yukio Sakaguchi with the Vietnam Driver II (18:30).
*V1 for Daisuke Sasaki. Yukio Sakaguchi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

As first title defences go, Yukio Sakaguchi is one of the tougher ones. He used up his Right To Challenge Contract for a fair crack at Daisuke Sasaki. The KO-D Openweight Champion tried to match Sakaguchi kick for kick at the beginning but that was not a good idea. Sakaguchi continued to lay in his kicks while screaming “Champion, come on!” Sasaki gained control by catching a kick on the ring apron and Dragon Screwing the challenger onto the ropes. Sasaki continued to use his ring awareness to turn the tables whenever he could, avoiding the PK from the apron and returning fire with a Tope Suicida. He then wore out Sakaguchi with a Sleeper Hold and placed him on a chair. Sasaki went back into the ring and hit the Super Diving Elbow to the outside! Back in the ring Sasaki countered the Right Knee Of God with a Dropkick. A flash Hurricanrana got a two count but Sakaguchi caught Sasaki unaware with another Right Knee Of God afterwards. Sasaki kicked out and ducked a Middle Kick, causing Yukinori Matsui to get hit instead. Sasaki capitalised by kicked Sakaguchi below the belt. Sakaguchi still had some fight left in him despite the low blow but Sasaki kept hitting big moves until he finally put him away with the Vietnam Driver II.

With a successful defence Sasaki called himself the strongest but refused to take part in the next mandatory title match at Korakuen Hall on 29th May. He eventually agreed but demanded his challenger to be Kazuki Hirata. Instead Konosuke Takeshita came out. Takeshita is the No. 1 contender because he pinned Sasaki in Yamagata a few days ago and on this show defeated Shuji Ishikawa in under 5 minutes. Takeshita said he has a two title match losing streak against Sasaki but he has all of Happy Motels there to support him. Sasaki called Takeshita “Bamboo-chan”, told a story about them getting drunk together one time and called himself the strongest, charismatic two crown king.

Takeshita’s quick victory over Ishikawa came as a surprise to everyone. They immediately charged each other and went for Brainbusters, Back Drops and Lariats. Ishikawa hit the Running Knee Lift for a nearfall. He went for the Splash Mountain but Takeshita escaped. Ishikawa blocked a German Suplex and tried the Fire Thunder but Takeshita again avoided a big move. He knocked the giant down with a Lariat and then picked the big dog up into the Deadlift German Suplex for the three count. Ishikawa protested that he wasn’t pinned but the referee rejected his claims. Ishikawa ranted about the loss to journalists afterwards, saying it was impossible that he would lose to Takeshita in 4 minutes.

After previously defending his SPW South East Asia Title in an Ironman Match with Sasaki, Masa Takanashi got to have another title defence in DDT. This time he took on Antonio Honda. The challenger constantly tried to do a Scorpion Death Drop and eventually hit the move. But Takanashi rolled out of the way from the Diving Fist Drop and grabbed the win with the Takatonic. Takanashi said afterwards he was ready to go drinking with the rest of Shuten-dōji after Sakaguchi wins the title in the main event. Honda was disappointed he lost because he was hoping to visit Malaysia. Takanashi’s next title defence will be in Kuala Lumpur against CIMA!

There was a tag team match pitting Kazusada Higuchi against his two fellow KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Higuchi feels he needs to depend on Kouki Iwasaki & Shunma Katsumata when they defend the titles against Team Drift later this month so he teamed with Guanchulo to fight them here. Iwasaki & Katsumata were victorious and came out of the match feeling more united than ever.

The show opened with Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi greeting the crowd. Dino announced that he was not going to cash in one of his two Right To Challenge Contracts. Instead he wanted to improve his win-loss record with Oishi in tag team matches. Oishi began arguing with Dino but denied that there was any tension between them. To prove it Oishi asked Dino to give him possession of one of his contracts. Dino was surprised by the request but agreed to give him one. Oishi then lost the contract to Kazuki Hirata in the first match. Hirata spent the match being ignored by his partners and he was begging for a chance to get in the ring. Sanshiro Takagi finally relented and it paid off with Hirata avoiding the Miracle Ecstasy during the dance sequence and pinning Oishi with the One Shot Miracle Cradle. Oishi begged Dino to give him his remaining contract after the match but Dino gave him the Danshoku Driver instead.

Nagaoka Ao-re

1. Keisuke Ishii defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Kneel Kick (7:05).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Owashi pinned Takao with a Modified Crucifix Pin (8:26).
3. Kazuki Hirata defeated Antonio Honda with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (10:57).
4. Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Sakaguchi submitted Oishi with the Cobra Clutch (8:48).
*One of Danshoku Dino’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts is transferred over to Makoto Oishi. Yukio Sakaguchi wins Makoto Oishi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
5. Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Guanchulo defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Tetsuya Endo & Mao Inoue when Ishikawa pinned Inoue with the Splash Mountain (13:14).
6. Super Sasadango Machine defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock (8:46).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Shunma Katsumata & Kouki Iwasaki defeated HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano when Higuchi pinned HARASHIMA with the Goten (19:42).
*V2 for Team DNA.

Kazusada Higuchi stepped up big by pinning the KO-D Openweight Champion while defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in the process! The DNA team put the belts on the line against Smile Squash and came out on top. Higuchi was unstoppable, giving both HARASHIMA and Akito a Double Choke Slam. Shunma Katsumata took out Yasu Urano with a Moonsault leaving Higuchi to pick up the pieces. HARASHIMA showed some signs of life when he hit a Jumping High Kick but Higuchi grabbed him once more and pinned him with the Goten. Higuchi told the Niigata crowd that he would like to return to the city as a double champion.

Kazuki Hirata watched Super Sasadango Machine’s match from a distance, the third floor balcony to be precise. Sasadango demanded Hirata to come down to the ring and face him but he refused. They finally faced each other backstage afterwards and they argued about a chair that Sasadango accidentally broke at ringside during his match. Hirata thinks Sasadango should have been disqualified for breaking the chair. Sasadango thinks Hirata is showing weakness by being so concerned about a broken chair.

The KO-D Tag Team Champions weren’t impressed by their competition. Daisuke Sasaki thinks the rematch against the New Gen Combo is just going to have the same result. A victory over them won’t feel rewarding and won’t give him what he wants: Candice LeRae. Konosuke Takeshita knows that this will be his & Tetsuya Endo’s last chance at beating Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa for the titles. They will have to win no matter what.

Danshoku Dino’s usual Right To Challenge tease at the start of the show was interrupted by Makoto Oishi. He thought it was stupid that Dino was withholding three contracts for a title shot while a 14 year veteran such as himself has nothing. Oishi demanded Dino to give him one of the contracts. Dino stood by his friend and gave him a contract. Unfortunately later in the show Oishi lost the contract to Yukio Sakaguchi after the Shuten-dōji fighter tapped him out with the Cobra Clutch. Oishi demanded Dino give him another contract after the match and Dino gave him the Danshoku Driver in response. Sakaguchi revealed in a backstage interview that he plans to cash in his title shot on 8th May in Sapporo.

I was in Japan for almost two weeks for a gigantic wrestling trip across Tokyo. A blog post about that entire trip is in the works but for now I’ll focus on the DDT show I got to see in Saitama. After all what sort of DDT fan would I be if I didn’t get to see one of their shows during this trip? They were gearing up for a tour around Japan during my stay but Kasukabe Hall was within distance from where I and my friends were staying. So after an email exchange with DDT to get tickets myself, Joey from America and Matt from Canada set off for Saitama.

Kasukabe is a quiet town from what I can tell. We found a sushi restaurant and through very limited Japanese (zero from myself) were able to order a meal that included tiny little appetizer squids. I didn’t have the stomach for it (blame Splatoon) but the others were happy to try it. According to them it tastes like ginger. We found Kasukabe Hall afterwards, got our tickets and lined up for the show. After getting in it didn’t take long for Amon Tsurumi to greet us. This was the start of a surreal evening where different members of DDT staff came over to greet and thank me for the work I do on this blog. Joey and Matt were amazed at the situation.

The show began with a King Of Dark Title match. Seiya Morohashi defeated Hoshitango to get rid of the cursed belt and pass it over to the Argentinian. Morohashi treated the belt with disdain by swinging it between his legs during his ring announcement. A Quarrel Bomber put away Hoshitango in a brief match. Morohashi then announced he will be quitting DDT in April and is becoming a freelancer. He will still work for their Best Stretch business which is opening a second office in Shinjuku later this month.

The show began with the current Right To Challenge contract holders filling the ring then moved onto the first match. The dates for the next four scheduled KO-D Openweight Title defences were announced. They are happening on 24th April in Korakuen Hall, 8th May in Sapporo, 29th May in Korakuen and 3rd July in Hakata. This does not include any possible Right To Challenge cash ins.

The first match began with Mizuki Watase offering an apology to Saki Akai for the bad blood between them but then yelled he lied. The two were rough to each other throughout the match and Mizuki got the pin on Akai after a Dropkick to win her Right To Challenge contract. Makoto Oishi took the blame for his team’s loss. He and Akai will face Watase and LiLiCo at Korakuen on 24th April. With both the Right To Challenge contract and Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line Akai has a chance to win either of them back from her enemies.

The 2nd match had a lot of comedy based around getting Gota Ihashi tired. He was made to run the ropes a lot and was constantly thrown out of the ring and tossed over to a wall. Also Toru Owashi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga had a duel using their contract arm bands as weapons. Ihashi missed a Moonsault and Owashi capitalised with La Magistral Cradle to win.

Match #3 was KENSO and Rekka fighting over who deserved to be in DNA. KENSO is trying to find any way to join DDT full time. If he has to go through DDT’s developmental brand then so be it. Rekka had the DNA roster support and was led out to the ring in a train formation with the wrestlers. KENSO was relentless and even did a Plancha onto Rekka. They brawled very close to us and KENSO hit a nasty looking Brainbuster onto the floor. Rekka tried to fight back and even kicked out of a Brainbuster at one but he was put away with a Diving Elbow Drop. KENSO told Rekka and the other DNA wrestlers that this business is not so sweet and he is above their level. Kouki Iwasaki took offense and challenge KENSO to defend DNA’s pride. Tsurumi was reluctant to make the match because he doesn’t want to book KENSO again but agreed to let it happen at DNA 16 on 11th May.

Next up was Danshoku Dino Vs Kazuki Hirata. I warned Joey and Matt about Dino’s entrance antics but luckily for us he only had eyes for Hirata on this day. He attacked Hirata before the dance could begin and the match began. A minute later Dino applied the Lip Lock and then twisted Hirata’s arm for a clutch variation of the move, winning the match by tapout. After the match we found out Hirata had his date with Aja Kong and it was recorded. A video played on the screen of the date. They went on a ferris wheel and Hirata was scared of heights. They then ended the night sitting on a bench and looked like they were about to kiss until Hirata got cold feet. He said he tried to like her but it’s impossible. He apologised and ran off, leaving Kong alone.

Dino asked Hirata why he ran off. Hirata said it’s because she’s too chubby and the date was a terrible prank. We then got a surprise when Aja Kong showed up at ringside! She was in a cold state of emotion and Hirata was frozen with fear in the ring. Dino suggested they wrestle a match there and then. He took out a referee shirt so he could look over the match. The bell rang and Kong took her time beating up Hirata. He had one chance at a comeback but wasn’t strong enough to lift Kong up for the Viagra Driver. Kong beat him up again and Dino was too scared to call any fouls so he just let her do what she wanted. One Spinning Backfist later and that was it for Hirata. Dino very slowly counted the pin but it was clear that Hirata was out cold. When he came to he said he realised how wrong he was to ditch Kong and offered to take her out again. Kong rejected him and instead showed interest in Nobuhiro Shimatani, chasing him out of the ring when he got too scared of her. Dino and Hirata were left stunned for a few minutes by what happened. “Eeeeeeh?” … “Eeeeeeh?” … “Eeeeeeh?” ……….. “Eeeeeeh?!?”

I can now say after seeing them in person Yukio Sakaguchi, Kota Umeda and Shigehiro Irie all hit hard. Really hard.

During intermission I got to meet Sanshiro Takagi and Guanchulo and had a brief talk with them. I also got to finally speak with the man behind the Extreme Party website who was such a help during the early years of this blog. It’s pretty weird when Takagi called me over to his table and showed me my Twitter accounts on his phone in order to ask if I was that guy. This show happened half a day after Kota Ibushi’s appearance on NXT Takeover: Dallas but that wasn’t the place to talk about it.

“American Dream” played over the speakers for the semi-main event. Antonio Honda and Hiroshi Fukuda came out for an all Happy Motel tag team match against the New Gen Combo. Honda & Fukuda tried to keep the match at their pace but Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo came out the winners in the end. Fukuda’s Perfect Plex was countered into a Brainbuster and Endo hit the Sky Twister Press for the pin. Honda & Fukuda threw their support behind the New Gen Combo for their KO-D Tag Team Titles rematch with Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa later this month.

The main event was the best match of the show. Kazusada Higuchi has a great presence about him and knows how to throw his weight around. His moments with HARASHIMA were very good and the match played around all of Smile Squash trying to cut down Higuchi by the legs. Mao Inoue also shined during the ending sequence but my highlight of the match was HARASHIMA countering Inoue’s Screw Kick with a Leg Sweep in mid air. HARASHIMA won with the Somato of course and Higuchi left the ring to go lick his wounds. The show ended with Smile Squash giving a victory speech. A good end to the evening.

I would like to thank Sanshiro Takagi, Amon Tsurumi and Guanchulo so much for all that they did to accommodate me, Matt and Joey throughout the show. I’d also like to thank Naomi Susan for everything she did to help organise tickets. Quite a few surprises happened along the way and afterwards but I don’t think I can say much about it for now.

2. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when Ishii pinned Umeda with the Beast Bomber (10:32).
3. 3 Way Match: Jun Kasai defeated KENSO and Gota Ihashi when Kasai pinned Ihashi with the Pearl Harbour Splash (8:45).
4. Antonio Honda, Tetsuya Endo & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Daisuke Kiso Ken Ohka when Honda pinned Sasadango with the Diving Fist Drop (12:12).
5. Road To Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: Kazuki Hirata defeated Ryuichi Sekine by Ring Out (10:01).
Order Of Elimination: Kazusada Higuchi, Soma Takao, Masa Takanashi, Cherry, Toru Owashi, Ryuichi Sekine.
6. Konosuke Takeshita & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa when Takeshita pinned Sasaki with the German Suplex (13:04).
7. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Ryota Nakatsu when HARASHIMA pinned Nakatsu with the Somato (14:35).

Not long to go now until the DDT 19th Anniversary show in Sumo Hall. In their final skirmish HARASHIMA’s team got the better of Isami Kodaka and his BASARA friends. Kodaka was powerless to stop HARASHIMA from hitting the Somato on Ryota Nakatsu. HARASHIMA told the crowd that he is sure to win the KO-D Openweight Title from Kodaka and when he does he’ll bring it back to Kasukabe. Why? Because he trains!

Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa suffered their first defeat as a team and it was against one half of the KO-D Tag Team Champions. Konosuke Takeshita had Hiroshi Fukuda constantly singing him songs from his corner to motivate him while he was wrestling. Sasaki & Ishikawa attacked their opponents with a chair when the referee was knocked out but a mistimed Lariat saw Ishikawa deck his partner by accident. Takeshita quickly capitalised and pinned Sasaki with the German Suplex. Sasaki ordered Ishikawa to attack Takeshita with a chair but Tetsuya Endo suddenly appeared and gave Ishikawa a Swan Dive Elbow. Endo told the challengers that even though they beat himself and Takeshita in single matches, they won’t be able to beat them in a tag team match for the titles.

The Battle Royal came down to Kazuki Hirata and Ryuichi Sekine both wearing Hirata GO! glasses and dancing on the ring apron. When the dancing stopped Hirata Dropkicked Sekine to the floor. Hirata said his reward for winning should be entering last in the Right To Challenge Rumble at Sumo Hall. Amon Tsurumi warned that all of the Right To Challenge contracts could be taken by the time Hirata enters the match. Hirata agreed and then asked if he could enter at No. 1 instead. Tsurumi said that would put him in a big disadvantage. Hirata agreed but felt entering second or third would be half-hearted. Tsurumi accepted his request.

Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine spent some time building up their mystery partner for the show. They filmed their reveal next to the men’s restroom backstage. Suddenly Shuji Ishikawa walked out of the restroom but it wasn’t him. It was the man who walked out after him, referee Daisuke Kiso! He didn’t last long in the match and his limp body had to be carried away from ringside. Luckily Ken Ohka was in the building and he took Kiso’s place, reuniting #OhkaEmpire! Unfortunately it wasn’t enough and they took a loss. Dino looked concerned afterwards. His goal to collect asses for his match against Akebono is moving at a slow pace. Ohka encouraged him to hang in there. He then encouraged Sasadango to hang in there and win the DDT Extreme Title from Kendo Kashin. He then encouraged Antonio Honda to hang in there and prepare for Tatsumi Fujinami. He then encouraged Kouki Iwasaki to hang in there and do his best in the DNA Offer Match. He then encouraged himself to hang in there and win the Right To Challenge Rumble.

In a preview of the Weapon Treasure Hunt match at Sumo Hall, KENSO, Jun Kasai and Gota Ihashi faced off in a 3 Way Match. KENSO rejected Kasai’s request to team up on Ihashi. He also turned down a similar request from Ihashi. Ihashi took out 10,000 yen from his booth and offered it to Kasai so they could form an alliance. Kasai thought about it and said “Ikuzo brother!” The alliance didn’t work and KENSO quickly foiled their double team attempts. Ihashi soon got the better of KENSO but that was when Kasai decided to end the alliance and hit Ihashi with a Lariat. He then hit the Pearl Harbour Splash to win. Kasai said he is the real king of Street Wrestling, not that bastard Kota Ibushi.

Kota Umeda tried to make it to three victories in one day with his new Umeda Driver finisher. However Shigehiro Irie was too heavy and fought out of the move before pinning Umeda with the Beast Bomber.

Makoto Oishi and Saki Akai wound up Mizuki Watase in their match by asking if he was a transsexual.

Seiya Morohashi was accidentally flattened by Hoshitango’s Midnight Buenos Aires, allowing Guanchulo to roll him up for the win. There will be no more King Of Dark Title matches until Sumo Hall so Morohashi is stuck as the champion for the next couple of weeks. He kept on bothering Amon Tsurumi during the show to change his mind.

DDT “THREE OF A DREAM 2015”, 22/11/2015
Hiroshima Industrial Hall East Exhibition Hall
346 Fans

0. King Of Dark Title – 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Kouki Iwasaki (c) and Suguru Miyatake when Fukuda pinned Iwasaki with a School Boy (5:10).
*D3 for Kouki Iwasaki.
1. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Irie pinned Matsunaga with the Flying Sausage (6:54).
2. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Joey Ryan defeated Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi & Yuto Aijima when Ryan pinned Oishi with the Super Kick (11:53).
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine (c) when Hirata pinned Dino with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (12:58).
*#OhkaEmpire fails in V2. T2Hide become the 21st KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
4. Hardcore Special Single Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Rope Assisted Pin (11:10).
5. Tetsuya Endo defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Sky Twister Press (13:47).
6. Hiroshima Specialty! Deadly Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kazusada Higuchi ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
7. Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Sakaguchi pinned Nakatsu with the Right Knee Of God (15:07).

Yukio Sakaguchi says he is in the middle of perfecting his Right Knee Of God finisher. Looks like it will reach perfect status by the time “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” takes place.

A rare 30 minute draw was the highlight of the show. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kazusada Higuchi was a pairing that worked in DNA and they felt they were the better team than HARASHIMA & Akito. The time expired right when Higuchi Choke Slammed Akito while Nakajima took care of HARASHIMA. They said they would have won for sure if there was five seconds left. Higuchi also wants to team with Nakajima in DDT again and aim for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles.

It’s now full sail ahead for Tetusya Endo after he beat Keisuke Ishii. Endo hit the Torture Rack Bomb for a two count but immediately followed up with the Sky Twister Press to earn the victory. Endo said power was a major weapon for him in this match but he might need something else to beat either Sakaguchi or Isami Kodaka at next month’s KO-D Title match.

Daisuke Sasaki celebrated his 30th birthday with a special Hardcore Match against Yuko Miyamoto. Sasaki had Suguru Miyatake in his corner but he was taken out with the Fire Thunder Driver. Miyamoto used a megaphone to call in Hiroshi Fukuda with a birthday cake. They sang Happy Birthday to Sasaki then Miyamoto smushed the cake into Sasaki’s face. Miyamoto later used rope leverage to get the three count on Sasaki.

Kazuki Hirata’s GO! Glasses went missing before the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Without them he struggled to find the enthusiasm to dance. Instead he focused on the task at hand and did quite well in the match. Super Sasadango Machine stopped him in his tracks by pulling out his missing glasses. He placed them down for Hirata to take it but Hirata refused, saying he does not need to rely on them anymore. Danshoku Dino took them instead and began dancing and fighting to the music. However Hirata was able to avoid the Lip Lock and pin Dino out of nowhere to make T2Hide the new champions! #OhkaEmpire demanded a rematch and it will take place in Hakata on 13th December.

In the King Of Dark Title match, Hiroshi Fukuda distracted Kouki Iwasaki by singing “Imagine”. Suguru Miyatake tried to get involved but ended up bumping into Iwasaki. Fukuda took advantage and pinned Iwasaki with a School Boy. Iwasaki dropped his shoulders in disappointment when it was confirmed he will be wrestling in the dark match at “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015”.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~T2HIDE DAY – WORLD LUCHA EXPO JAPAN~” Results

August 4, 2015

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~T2HIDE DAY – WORLD LUCHA EXPO JAPAN~”, 04/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Exercise & Stretch DVD Launch – All Out Stretch War: Seiya Morohashi (Kasiwa) defeated Kazuki Hirata (Yoyogi-Uehara) with the Crippler Crossface (7:38).
2. World Triangle Match: Louis Takanashi XIV (France) defeated Hoshitango (Argentina) and Hiroshi Fukuda (America) when Takanashi pinned Fukuda with the Takatonic (5:41).
3. World Dream Match – Full Blown Italian Showdown Final Conclusion: Antonio Honda & Sasaki And Gabbana (Italy) defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang (China) when Gabbana pinned Shiryu with a Backward Rolling Cradle (13:33).
4. Lucha Extremadura Jasu: Sanshiro Takagi (Osaka), Toru Owashi (Nagano) & Kazuki Hirata (Yoyogi-Uehara) defeated HERO! (Hero City), Mascara Guerrera Jr. (Rainbow City) & Brazo de Gotha (Ebisuko Tavern) when Hirata pinned Gotha with the Mad Splash (15:19).

Today’s Beer Garden show had a bit of an international flavour to it. The T2Hide group were in charge and they wanted to do some Lucha Libre. Their opponents in the main event were three luchadors including the return of HERO! He was joined by Mascara Guerrera Jr. who tried to give Lip Locks to all of the wrestlers, and Brazo de Gotha who was fighting on behalf of the Ebisuko Tavern. T2Hide came close to losing the match but help came in the form of Seiya Morohashi wearing the Hirata GO! glasses. Kazuki Hirata hit the Mad Splash on Gotha for the three count. He told Morohashi after the match he is a terrible dancer but he thanked him for his help.

The Italian 4 Horsemen was represented for the first time in over five years as Antonio Honda returned to his Italian phase to team with Sasaki And Gabbana. They were able to beat their Chinese opponents by blinding them with “Italian Powder”.

French wrestler Louis Takanashi XIV won his match with the help of some Death Cakes that were thrown into his opponents’ faces.

Kazuki Hirata and Seiya Morohashi had a match to determine who was the better stretch trainer. Hirata had the power of his GO! glasses but Morohashi took them off while applying the Crippler Crossface. Hirata tapped out and Morohashi left with the glasses. He would return with them later as mentioned above.

At the beginning of the show Sanshiro Takagi considered changing the name of T2Hide in order to become more appealing around the world. He suggested the new name should be KAT-TOO and he held up the same sign Makoto Oishi made when he revealed his KAT-TOO team three days ago.

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT” Results

March 30, 2014

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT – PART 1”, 29/03/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
532 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Takeshita pinned Nira with the Touchdown (10:27).

6. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ishii pinned Honda with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (10:40).
7. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Akito when KUDO pinned Oishi with the Buzzsaw Kick (13:55).

After scoring the pin in the main event, KUDO called out for any of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract holders to come out and challenge him. When none of them came out he then turned his attention to his next confirmed challenger Akito and talked about their upcoming match KO-D Openweight Title match. Akito told him it was going to be a war and he is the future of DDT.

Keisuke Ishii is utterly focused on getting an All Asia Tag Team Title shot. He yelled out “Akiyama!” before he delivered an Exploder Suplex to Tomomitsu Matsunaga in their tag match. He and Shigehiro Irie also have a new double team move called the Go 2 Irie Sleep. It involves Ishii lifting up his opponent in the Go 2 Sleep position while Irie kneels down beside them. Ishii then throws the victim face first into Irie’s head. After the match Ishii showed a video of himself confronting Jun Akiyama and Yoshinobu Kanemaru demanding a title shot. Both of them rejected the challenge and walked off. The video then showed Ishii approaching Akiyama in a public toilet only for Akiyama to yell at him “I’m pissing, go away!” Back in the building Ishii said he will got to Akiyama’s dojo to ask again and he will record the meeting to show at next week’s show in Kawasaki.

With the Monster Army disbanded both Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda decided it was time for a fresh start. Sasaki asked if he could team with the Golden Lovers (but not with Gota Ihashi). Both Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega said he could but they were then interrupted by Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Takagi challenged them to a Lucha Libre 6-Man Tag match. Sasaki worked well with the Golden Lovers, he even pulled off the PK Mind with Omega to win the match. Amon Tsurumi granted the new trio a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot for the 12th April Kasukabe Hall show. Omega said he was reluctant to have Sasaki on his team instead of Ihashi but admitted they were a powerful team regardless.

Guanchulo cashed in his Right To Face Your Favourite Wrestler Contract to get a match with Kikutaro before he returns to Chile on 28th May. Kikutaro used his tricks to get Yukinori Matsui involved in the match and they proved to be the deciding factor. Afterwards Kikutaro thanked Guanchulo for choosing him to be his opponent. Danshoku Dino announced the return of Danshoku Ranch Classic will happen on 20th May and it will be a farewell show for Guanchulo. He will also put his DDT Extreme Title on the line against Guanchulo in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

The DDT trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake pleaded with Amon Tsurumi to let them have another exhibition match. They were both unhappy that their bout at “JUDGEMENT 2014” ended in a draw. Miyatake also wants to prove he is ready to debut properly. Tsurumi allowed the match to happen with the stipulation that Miyatake will earn his debut match if he wins. Miyatake wasn’t able to capitalise on his oppotunity and lost to Katsumata in 91 seconds.

HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano will continue to team together under the name UraShima. They are willing to team with other wrestlers but have no plans to recruit a third member.

After losing his Right To Challenge Contract earlier in the night, Kazuki Hirata quickly replaced it with Masa Takanashi’s contract after he pinned him in a 10-Man Tag match. Hirata spent the night wearing a Magnum TOKYO mask in between his matches.

The night ended with a performance of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics by Antonio Honda.

Dramatic DDT
