DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2015”, 19/07/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title – Handicap Count Rules: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Yasu Urano

2. Konosuke Takeshita & Kota Umeda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi

5. Daisuke Sekimoto, Yuji Okabayashi & Hideyoshi Kamitani Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
6. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fall To The Hell Match: Akito (c) Vs Antonio Honda

Antonio Honda did a good job convincing Akito for a DDT Extreme Title match. They will fight under Fall Into The Hell rules. The ring ropes will be removed and victory can be achieved by pinfall, submission or knocking the opponent out of the ring.

There is no official stipulation added to Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie. However if Irie beats Sakaguchi again for the third time this month it will surely lead to changes in the Sumo Hall main event.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM VOL. 3” Results

July 11, 2015

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM VOL. 3”, 11/07/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Reverse Cross Armbreaker (6:18).

*V3 for Team Dream Futures.

The strained relationship between KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi is getting worse. Sakaguchi was pinned by Shigehiro Irie in the main event, costing Shuten-dōji their chance to reclaim the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. KUDO was pissed that his Sumo Hall opponent lost the match because it makes both of them look weak. Masa Takanashi tried to calm them down but KUDO left the ring on his own. Sakaguchi took the blame and requested to be taken off the Sumo Hall main event, citing that he does not feeld qualified to be in the KO-D Openweight Title match. He bowed to Amon Tsurumi as an apology. Irie suddenly jumped back into the ring and also bowed. Tsurumi decided that Sakaguchi and Irie will have a match at the next Korakuen Hall show to prove who deserves to main event Sumo Hall.

Kota Umeda was hoping to show off all the hard work he has been doing in DNA. Unfortunately he was put in the ring with Danshoku Dino who was in a pretty horny mood. After Dino won the match he tried to get his hands on Umeda as well as the other DNA wrestlers Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu.

There was an in-ring debate to determine the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. The debate was between Hiroshi Fukuda, Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda, Gota Ihashi, Makoto Oishi and Yasu Urano with Amon Tsurumi and the champion Akito overlooking everything. Ihashi was not supposed to be involved in the debate but he explained he would put the King Of Dark Title on the line to make it a dark match double championship bout if he became the No. 1 Contender. Ihashi wanted to challenge Akito to a Better Dish Death Match. He would win because he cooks better meals. Nobody liked the idea and Ihashi was thrown out of the ring. Tsurumi then started yelling at Urano, blaming him for Ken Ohka breifly winning the KO-D Title two weeks ago. Tsurumi was so mad that he took off his afro and threw it out of the ring! Urano apologised but it was too late, he’s going to get a King of Dark Title match instead! That’s not all, Ihashi only needs to pin Urano for one second to win the match!

Urano was taken out of the ring by some DNA wrestlers and the debate continued. Fukuda said he wants to be the first American to win the Extreme Title. He wants to fight Akito in a Showa Kayo Death Match. Hirata said it should be him and Akito in a TOKYO Dancing Death Match. Honda talked about the impressive line of defences Akito has been through and said he wants the title match so he can fight the best DDT has to offer. Finally Oishi suggested an Idol Lumberjack match. Akito picked Honda as his next challenger. Their match will have no ring ropes and can end by Ring Out.

Kota Ibushi got to try on the HIRATA GO! glasses in Match #2. Hirata and Suguru Miyatake both wore a pair during the final moments of the match and somehow pinned each other to end it in a draw.

Fukuda tried to get on HARASHIMA’s good side before their match by asking who his favourite singer is. HARASHIMA said Yūzō Kayama. Later on Fukuda started singing one of Kayama’s songs “The Sea, Its Love”. HARASHIMA and Antonio Honda both joined in. Fukuda & Honda’s attempt to sneak attack HARASHIMA during the song backfired and HARASHIMA hit the Somato on Fukuda to win.

An angry Gota Ihashi emerged after the dark match and challenged Kouki Iwasaki to an immediate King Of Dark Title bout. Ihashi went on the offensive from the start but missed a Moonsault. Iwasaki capitalised and pinned Ihashi with La Magistral Cradle to avoid “winning” the title.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 TOKYO” Results

June 28, 2015

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 TOKYO”, 28/06/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,200 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

*Ken Ohka fails in V1. KUDO cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. KUDO Becomes the 53rd KO-D Openweight Champion!
6. King Of DDT 2015 – Final: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Right Knee Of God (18:13).

Yukio Sakaguchi is the winner of this year’s King Of DDT and is guaranteed a KO-D Openweight Title match at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” this August. Sakaguchi defeated Kazusada Higuchi by referee stoppage in the semi finals while Konosuke Takeshita overcame Daisuke Sasaki. In the final Sakaguchi used his knee strikes to great effect and finished off Takeshita with the newly named Right Knee Of God. Right now the Sumo Hall match-up is Sakaguchi versus KUDO, two wrestlers from the same unit. That almost wasn’t the case…

All of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts have now been used up and as a result caused some temporary chaos in the main event scene. Yasu Urano pinned Masa Takanashi in a 6-Man Tag Team match to win his contract. Urano then cashed in the contract for a KO-D Title match against KUDO there and then. The two fought hard and were both laid out when Ken Ohka suddenly appeared. Taking a page from Seth Rollins, Ohka cashed in his own contract in the middle of the match! He went after KUDO but had to settle with pinning Urano to become the new champion! However KUDO stayed in the ring and cashed in his own contract for an immediate title match. Ohka fought with all his heart but was out of his depth. KUDO defeated Ohka to win back the title and will go on to the Sumo Hall main event.

Hiroshi Tanahashi made a surprise appearance to announce he will be wrestling at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. He wanted to wrestle against the best wrestler in DDT and that is HARASHIMA! HARASHIMA said he isn’t normally interested in wrestlers from other companies but he is interested in fighting Tanahashi.

Shigehiro Irie stole Kazuki Hirata’s glasses before the opening match and used them to dance. He and Hirata had a dance battle for the glasses that ended in Irie knocking out Hirata with the Beast Bomber.

DJ Nira grouped together Gota Ihashi, the referee and ring attendants to shield himself from Kota Umeda during the King Of Dark Title match. Nira then climbed on top of the group to do an assisted Rocket Punch but Umeda High Kicked him in mid-air for the pin. Since Ihashi was not involved in the result he is still the King Of Dark Champion.

Genichiro Tenryu will team with Sanshiro Takagi & Saki Akai for a 6-Person Tag Team match at the Sumo Hall show. Their opponents will be revealed at a later date. Sanshiro Takagi’s original idea was to do Tenryu Vs Akai but he decided the two teaming together would be more interesting.

A pop idol and former Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion made her return to DDT for an announcement. LiLiCo will have her debut pro wrestling match at Sumo Hall. She has already been training for three months and she wants a match with Gorgeous Matsuno.

King Of DDT Tomorrow

June 27, 2015

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 TOKYO”, 28/06/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title – 3 Way Match: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs DJ Nira Vs Kota Umeda
1. King Of DDT 2015 – Semi Final: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Kazusada Higuchi
2. King Of DDT 2015 – Semi Final: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Konosuke Takeshita

5. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & MIKAMI Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito
6. King Of DDT 2015 – Final: X Vs X

This will be a big show and by the end of it expect some idea of what this year’s Sumo Hall card is going to be. The King Of DDT winner gets a KO-D Openweight Title shot in Sumo Hall but I bet there will be a few other announcements as well.

DDT “SHUTEN-DOJI BOX OFFICE ~WHAT ARE CHERRY BLOOSOMS WITHOUT ALOCOHOL~”, 22/07/2015
Shinjuku FACE

1. He Can’t Stand Anymore, That’s Enough, Oh God Save Him – Punch Drunk Glove Match: Hoshitango & Kosei Kubota Vs Tanomusaku Toba & Kota Umeda
2. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Kengo Mashimo & Isami Kodaka

Shuten-dōji is not going to take things easy for their self produced show next month. Tensions between KUDO and Isami Kodaka grew during the “TAVERN WRESTLING” show this week. They clash again but this time with Yukio Sakaguchi and Kengo Mashimo also involved.

The Punch Drunk Glove match sounds like an excuse for everyone involved to punch each other in the face as much as humanly possible.

June 15, 2015

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 OSAKA”, 14/06/2015
Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2
1,042 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Suguru Miyatake (c) & Kota Umeda defeated Gota Ihashi & Hiroshi Fukuda when Miyatake pinned Ihashi with the Heart Attack (6:45).
*Suguru Miyatake passes D2. Gota Ihashi becomes the 3rd King Of Dark Champion.
1. HARASHIMA, Akiro, Yasu Urano, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Saki Akai defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (10:28).

3. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Makoto Oishi with the Right Knee Of God (7:19).
4. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Masa Takanashi with the German Suplex (9:47).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) defeated MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa when Okabayashi pinned MIKAMI with the Golem Splash (19:29).

6. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Kota Ibushi with the Sasaki Huracanrana (18:48).
7. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Goten (18:23).

The King Of DDT semi-finals are set. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi and Konosuke Takeshita Vs Daisuke Sasaki will take place on 28th June along with the grand final. Sakaguchi dispatched Makoto Oishi with the Right Knee Of God. Takeshita narrowly avoided being wrongly disqualified when Masa Takanashi faked getting hit with the DDT Extreme Title belt he stole from Akito again after Match #1. Sasaki got the upset win over his stablemate Kota Ibushi. Sasaki seated Ibushi on a chair outside the ring and did a Super Diving Elbow Drop from the top rope onto him. Sasaki avoided the Sit Down Last Ride and pulled in the ref to distract Ibushi and flash pin him with the Sasaki Huracanrana. Ibushi was disappointed to lose and blamed Suguru Miyatake. Finally in the battle of the heavyweights Higuchi scored a great victory over Shigehiro Irie. Higuchi offered a handshake after the match but Irie rejected it.

DDT will move up from Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2 to the bigger Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #1 on 28th November. The event is called “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” and the main event will be the KO-D Openweight Champion defending the title against the winner of this year’s DDT Dramatic General Election. Sanshiro Takagi spoke about the building hosting matches like Nobuhiko Takada Vs Bob Backlund as well as cards from UWF and SWS.

Despite being thrown off by MIKAMI’s speed and use of ladders, Strong BJ succeeded in another KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Yuji Okabayashi is confident he and Daisuke Sekimoto can beat anyone in DDT. Right now there are no immediate challengers in line.

Ken Ohka appeared in the balcony after the 4 Way Match to give another warning to KUDO about cashing in his Right To Challenge contract. Amon Tsurumi apologised to KUDO for allowing Ohka to sneak into the show again. KUDO didn’t care because he knows Ohka is not going to cash in anytime soon.

Hello darkness my old friend. Gota Ihashi is now a two time King Of Dark Champion. He never got a chance to enjoy wrestling outside of the preshow. Amon Tsurumi happily handed Ihashi the belt after the match.

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi defeated Suguru Miyatake (c) with a Cross Body Attack (4:31).
*D1 for Suguru Miyatake.
1. Yasu Urano defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with a Cradle Cutback (8:11).
2. Toru Owashi defeated DJ Nira with La Magistral Cradle (0:40).
2a. Toru Owashi defeated DJ Nira after a failed Suicide Rocket Punch from a human pyramid (5:25).
3. Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & MIKAMI defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis when MIKAMI pinned Sparks with the Sliding School Boy (11:45).

5. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi with the Somato (14:02).
6. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Hiroshi Fukuda when KUDO pinned Fukuda with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:07).

Makoto Oishi’s mother was in attendance and by her son’s side for most of the show.

Shigehiro Irie was impressed with Kazusada Higuchi’s strength in their preview of tomorrow’s King Of DDT 2nd Round. Irie thinks Higuchi’s power is amazing but he will not let himself be overtaken by the new generation.

Match #3 went outside and featured fireworks being used as weapons. Kota Ibushi also Moonsaulted off of a truck as he is known to do. The Arrogant Bastards were able to hit DEATH FROM ABOVE but MIKAMI won the match out of nowhere with the Sliding School Boy.

After a quick match, DJ Nira and Toru Owashi immediately had a rematch. Nira goaded Amon Tsurumi, Daisuke Kiso, Antonio Honda, Gota Ihashi and Yusuke Kubo to form a human pyramid for him to do the Rocket Punch off of. Nira fell short of his target and got pinned.

Gota Ihashi argued with Amon Tsurumi over him still being in dark matches despite no longer being the King Of Dark Champion. Ihashi beat Suguru Miyatake once more with the Cross Body to prevent the title from transferring back to him.

Looks like Hiroshi Fukuda is taking Tetsuya Endo’s place in Happy Motels while Endo is recovering from his injury.

Gota Ihashi hasn’t escaped dark match status just yet. He must be cursing the automatic title rematch rule right now.

Not sure what order the King Of DDT matches will be. The semi-final match ups will be decided by a lottery.

This will be the Arrogant Bastards last show in Japan for now.

The King Of Dark Title will only change hands in the dark match tag if the champion pins one of his opponents.

10. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano with the Package Piledriver (24:44).

An eventful King Of DDT 1st Round filled up the majority of today’s show. Yukio Sakaguchi beat Keisuke Ishii and compared the tournament to climbing a mountain. Makoto Oishi overcame Hiroshi Fukuda’s shenanigans and used Fukuda’s USA flag to celebrate afterwards. Masa Takanashi attacked Akito as he entered the ring. Akito countered the Takatonic into a Knee Crusher but Takanashi withstood the pain and cradled Akito for the fast victory. Takanashi stole the DDT Extreme Title afterwards but gave it back when HARASHIMA confronted him backstage. Konosuke Takeshita bested Antonio Honda in the battle of Happy Motels. Takeshita hopes to fight for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall this year instead of facing a guest wrestler like last time. Daisuke Sasaki went over Kota Umeda. Sasaki planned on Umeda relying too much on High Kicks and he was right. Kazuki Hirata going full blast right from the start wasn’t enough to beat Kota Ibushi. The HIRATA GO glasses were placed on Ibushi’s face but he quickly took them off so he could win the match. Kazusada Higuchi restarted his journey towards another KO-D Title shot by overpowering Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Finally Shigehiro Irie earned a hard fought victory over Yasu Urano.

The 2nd round matches on 14th June are Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kota Ibushi and Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shigehiro Irie.

Well this is a first. The reigning KO-D Champion now has possession of a Right To Challenge Contract. KUDO wiped out both Danshoku Dino and Soma Takao in a 3 Way Match. Takao had Dino in position for the Gin And Tonic when KUDO hit the Diving Double Knee Drop on Takao. KUDO then hit a second Diving Double Knee Drop this time on Dino to win one of his two contracts. Amon Tsurumi decided that if KUDO is still holding both the KO-D Title and the contract at the 9th August Beer Garden show (the last DDT event before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”) then the contract will be declared invalid and removed from contention.

KUDO and Tsurumi were then interrupted when Ken Ohka showed up outside the building and stood on two chairs at the window with a microphone. He said he was monitoring KUDO and then promoted tomorrow’s Ganbare☆Wrestling show in Tokyo. Tsurumi told Ohka it’s dangerous to stand next to the glass like that. KUDO said Ohka has certainly changed but he will crush him anytime. KUDO then said he hopes to defend the belt and then have a toast at Sumo Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi and the Arrogant Bastards were determined to successfully perform the DEATH FROM ABOVE Diving Headbutt. They finally succeeded on the third try and got the win. The Bastards were informed they only have two more dates left on their Japan visit and they requested to add one more before leaving. They were told the only extra show available is a Ganbare☆Wrestling event taking place tomorrow. Neither knew what that company was but they accepted the gig none the less.

At last Gota Ihashi has escaped from his dark match nightmare. An angry Ihashi went into his King Of Dark Title defence complaining about forever being an opening act. As Suguru Miyatake was about to respond, Ihashi attacked him to start the match. Ihashi quickly went for a Moonsault but missed. However a Cross Body Block shockingly got him the three count and transferred the King Of Dark Title over to Miyatake.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015” Results

May 31, 2015

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015”, 31/05/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,200 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. King Of Dark Title: Kota Umeda defeated Gota Ihashi (c) with a High Kick (3:43).
*D11 for Gota Ihashi.
1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Saki Akai defeated Yasu Urano, Akito & Aja Kong when Takanashi pinned Akito with the Takatonic (9:20).
2. T2Hide New Members Audition: Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata, Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis defeated Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, DJ Nira & Kouki Iwasaki when Takagi pinned Iwasaki with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (8:22).
3. MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata when MIKAMI pinned Katsumata with the 450 Splash (9:50).
4. Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Super Sasadango Machine defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Hiroshi Fukuda when Oishi pinned Fukuda with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (11:56).
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) defeated Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake when Ishii pinned Miyatake with the Kneel Kick (13:53).
*V2 for Team Dream Futures.
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO defeated HARASHIMA (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (23:27).
*HARASHIMA fails in V2. KUDO cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. KUDO becomes the 51st KO-D Openweight Champion!

If you were expecting HARASHIMA to go on another lengthy KO-D Openweight Title run, prepare to be surprised. KUDO has kicked his way to the top instead. The Shuten-dōji leader is one of the few to win the KO-D Title with a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract cash in. He countered the Somato with a high leaping Double Knee Drop stopping HARASHIMA in mid-air. He also dodged the Swan Dive Somato and stuck HARASHIMA with Buzzsaw and Back Spin Kicks for a few nearfalls. KUDO sealed the deal with the Diving Double Knee Drop to the back of HARASHIMA’s head as the champ was on all fours followed by the regular Diving Double Knee Drop for the finish.

Ken Ohka and Yumehito Imanari suddenly appeared during KUDO’s victory toast. Ohka had his own Right To Challenge contract in possession. Ohka congratulated KUDO and pointed to his contract. Ohka said in Ganbare☆Wrestling he works hard everyday to achieve his goal of turning it into a major wrestling league. Tonight is not an appropriate time to cash in but the warning was clear. Ohka is going after the title for Ganpuro! KUDO wasn’t bothered by the threat and said tonight the Ebisuko Tavern will serve him its best wine to celebrate his championship win!

Suguru Miyatake consumed some mysterious tablets to go with his usual energy drink in a bid to boost his performance during the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles Match. It gave him enough power to Lariat each Team Drift member a bunch of times and also the strength to Body Slam Shigehiro Irie. But he was stopped dead by Keisuke Ishii’s Kneel Kick.

Shuji Ishikawa is confident that he and MIKAMI can beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 14th June. Ishikawa is used to wrestling the champs but they are not used to wrestling MIKAMI.

The T2Hide audition turned out to be an 8-Man Tag Match. Those who impressed Sanshiro Takagi and Kazuki Hirata enough would be accepted. The two American participants Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis fared well and the time came for dancing they were there with Hirata step for step. One of them missed a Coast To Coast Diving Headbutt but the attempt still impressed Takagi. He accepted both Sparks & Ellis into T2Hide after the match and said they are probably better and more interesting than Hirata.

DDT introduced Mizuki Watase of the comedy duo Tenori Tiger as their newest trainee. Mizuki said it has been his dream since elementary school to become a pro wrestler. His goal is to become a wrestler while continuing his career as an entertainer. He hopes to have his debut match as soon as possible.

Genichiro Tenryu was announced to compete at this year’s Sumo Hall show on 23rd August!

Dick Togo made an appearance to announce his new venture New Vietnam Pro Wrestling. He has opened up a wrestling school in Vietnam and is aiming to hold its first shows at the end of August.

Isami Kodaka and the Dropkick Bar are organising Tavern Wrestling shows over the next couple of months in the Wrestle Fighter Museum and Shin-kiba. Similar to the Beer Garden series, the shows are all about fans getting to drink loads of beer while watching live wrestling.

Soma Takao announced he will spend all of June competing exclusively in All Japan Pro Wrestling. This means he will not be wrestling in the King Of DDT tournament. Takao explained that he wants to improve his skill and learn how to wrestle in a different environment.

The King Of DDT 2015 1st Round was determined by lottery after the show. The matches are Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Makoto Oishi Vs Hiroshi Fukuda, Akito Vs Masa Takanashi, Konosuke Takeshita Vs Antonio Honda, either Ryota Nakatsu or Kota Umeda Vs Daisuke Sasaki (Nakatsu Vs Umeda takes place in DNA on 4th June), Kota Ibushi Vs Kazuki Hirata, Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazusada Higuchi and Yasu Urano Vs Shigehiro Irie. The 1st Round takes place in Kasukabe Hall on 6th June. The 2nd Round on 14th June is in Osaka and will be Winner #1 Vs Winner #2, Winner #3 Vs Winner #4 and so on.

The 2015 Beer Garden schedule in Shin-kiba 1st RING is DDT on 1st August, DNA and DDT doubleshot on 2nd August, Team Drift on 3rd August, T2Hide on 4th August, Smile Squash on 5th August, Happy Motel on 6th August, Shuten-dōji on 7th August, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Danshoku Dino/Super Sasadango Machine doubleshot on 8th August and the final night is DDT on the 9th August.
