Max Bump & Golden Union Cards, Upcoming Title Matches, Goodbye Teisen

April 22, 2015

DDT “MAX BUMP 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki
1. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. BOYZ Vs YaroZ Final Match: Makoto Oishi, Akito, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & X
3. Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal: Danshoku Dino Vs MIKAMI Vs Yasu Urano Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hoshitango Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs DJ Nira
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

So two of the wrestlers fighting over the last Right To Challenge Contract already have contracts. That’s a little unfair. I assume Hiroshi Fukuda’s and Yasu Urano’s contracts will be safe if they are just eliminated by ring out.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yusuke Kubo Vs Ryota Nakatsu
2. Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) Vs Ladybeard (w/ Ryu Gouma)

Yamagata Big Wing

1. Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita
2. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

I’m assuming the KO-D Openweight Champion, if it’s either Kota Ibushi or HARASHIMA will be on all three shows on the week beginning 4th May. Maybe a Right To Challenge cash in can take place here?

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Akito has picked Shigehiro Irie to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. It means a lot for Irie to get the title shot in Nagoya where he wrestled for several years before joining DDT.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The DNA stand out Kazusada Higuchi has made it public that he will cash in his Right To Challenge Contract in his home prefecture of Hokkaido. All he has to do is not lose it until then. He’s on the right track because he has yet to drop a fall in his young pro wrestling career.

Saki Akai and Tomoya will wrestle on the show.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: X Vs X

Sapporo Teisen Hall will be closing down in June. The venue has been a popular destination for indie wrestling with DDT and Big Japan among others hosting shows whenever they were in Sapporo. Apparently Big Japan will hold the final wrestling show in the building but before that DDT will say goodbye with a double show in May.

DDT “DNA 4” Results

April 2, 2015

dna4-higuchi-miyatake

DDT “DNA 4”, 02/04/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall
205 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Tomoya Kawamura defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Sling Blade (6:30).
2. Dai Suzuki defeated Heijitsu Mask 37 by Pinfall (17:31).
3. Kazuhiro Tamura & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda when Tamura submitted Umeda with the Minoru Special (13:18).
4. Taiji Ishimori defeated Shunma Katsumata with the 450 Splash (9:31).
5. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Suguru Miyatake with the Goten (19:58).

Kazusada Higuchi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract was on the line in the main event. After winning the match with his Canadian Backbreaker Choke Slam, Higuchi assured the crowd that he will cash in his title shot in Sapporo on 24th May. His goal is to be the undefeated challenger for the KO-D Openweight Title and the first DNA wrestler to win that championship.

Taiji Ishimori complimented DNA for having a mix of styles among their young wrestlers.

Tigers Mask was unable to make the show for his match against Dai Suzuki. In his place was Heijitsu Mask 37. He and Suzuki had a comedy match with Yukinori Matsui getting caught a lot in the crossfire. Daisuke Kiso also got involved when Matsui was taken out with a Low Blow. Matsui then attacked Kiso for taking his place. Heijitsu knocked himself out when he missed a diving attack from the top turnbuckle. Suzuki very slowly crawled over to Heijitsu and was still able to pin him.

The “DNA 4” card on 1st May is Tomoya Kawamura Vs Masaya Takahashi, Suguru Miyatake Vs Yuji Hino, Ryota Nakatsu Vs Atsushi Aoki and in the main event Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata.

DDT “DNA 3” Results

February 5, 2015

???????????????????????????????

DDT “DNA 3”, 05/02/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall
215 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kotaro Nasu defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the PK (8:51).
2. Jiro Kuroshio & Tomoya Kawamura defeated Dai Suzuki & Kikutaro when Kawamura pinned Suzuki with a Small Package (14:31).
3. Yuko Miyamoto defeated Suguru Miyatake with a Manji Cobra (12:21).
4. Shunma Katsumata defeated Kota Umeda with the Casadora (9:27).
5. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Todorokiten (21:30).

Both Kazusada Higuchi and Ryota Nakatsu went into the main event with something to prove. Higuchi wanted to continue his unbeaten run while Nakatsu wanted to break a losing streak he has developed since the last DNA show. There is also the story of Higuchi getting featured in Weekly Pro-Wrestling magazine and Nakatsu becoming jealous over it. The two fought for over 20 minutes and Nakatsu came close to ending it with a Triangle Choke followed by a Cross Armbreaker. But Higuchi powered out and Power Bombed Nakatsu. He then applied the Canadian Backbreaker and turned it into the Choke Slam for the three count. Higuchi calls that move the Todorokiten, which I think translates into Roaring Heaven. Higuchi bowed to Nakatsu after the match and said he didn’t expect someone with a small body to be so strong.

Suguru Miyatake’s challenges against wrestling veterans continued with a bout against Yuko Miyamoto. While nowhere near as violent as his match against Jun Kasai last month, Miyatake was still taken to school and he submitted to the Manji Cobra.

Tomoya Kawamura got to show some style when teaming with Jiro Kuroshio. He wrestled in a fedora, sleeveless jacket and tie. Their opponents Dai Suzuki & Kikutaro were more concerned with staying warm since the show was taking place during snowy weather.

Kotaro Nasu asked Kouki Iwasaki if he wanted another match after their opener. Iwasaki indicated that he wanted it.

The next DNA show will be in Kitazawa Town Hall on 2nd April. Matches announced so far are Kazusada Higuchi Vs Suguru Miyatake, Dai Suzuki Vs Tigers Mask and Taiji Ishimori Vs Shunma Katsumata.

DDT “DNA 1” Videos

December 13, 2014

DDT has uploaded the first show from their DNA series. DNA (DDT New Attitude) is a brand dedicated to the rookies and dojo students of DDT and Union. Many of the wrestlers appearing on this show were making their pro wrestling debuts.


DDT “DNA 1”, 28/11/2014
Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House


1. Suguru Miyatake Vs Kouki Iwasaki

Suguru Miyatake is from Nakano and has already become one of the more infamous rookies in DDT history. Recruited in 2013, Miyatake participated in exhibition matches throughout 2014 and kept expecting his official debut to be announced. It wouldn’t happen. Miyatake was not considered ready and his lackluster performances would keep him at trainee level for a long time. DDT General Manager Amon Tsurumi even said he would never debut in 100 years! Well, that debut finally happens here. Kouki Iwasaki is from Sapporo and has trained under Kenichi Yamamoto.


2. Shunma Katsumata Vs Dai Suzuki

Shunma Katsumata is from Chiba and was trained by Yasu Urano. He was originally part of a SMASH training camp but never got to debut before the company closed down. He is one of the first wrestlers in the DNA class to officially debut for DDT when he had his first match in April of this year. I couldn’t find much information for Dai Suzuki.


3. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kouta Umeda

Kazusada Higuchi is a former sumo wrestler from Hokkaido. He participated in sumo for 7 years and has a record of 140 wins and 128 losses until retiring in January this year. Kouta Umeda is a kickboxer from Kumamoto.


4. Tomoya Kawamura Vs Ryota Nakatsu

Tomoya Kawamura is from Osaka and is a Union young lion. He is the first wrestler to debut from DNA, having his first match in October 2013. Kawamura graduated from Ritsumeikan University and was in the same college wrestling club that Hiroshi Tanahashi came from. Ryota Nakatsu is from Kyoto and was an underground MMA fighter.


5. Shunma Katsumata & Suguru Miyatake Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu
The main event features the winners of the previous matches taking part in a tag team match.

DDT “DNA 1” Results

DDT “DNA 1”, 28/11/2014
Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shun Miyatake defeated Koju Iwasaki with the Heart Attack (8:23).
2. Shunma Katsumata defeated Dai Suzuki with the Swan Dive X Factor (7:51).
3. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Kota Umeda with a Canadian Backbreaker (11:14).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Reverse Cross Armbreaker (11:29).
5. Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shun Miyatake & Shunma Katsumata when Hisguchi pinned Katsumata with the Canadian Nodowa Otoshi (17:35).

DDT New Attitude, or DNA for short, is DDT’s new project based around its rookies and dojo students. Many of them were making their official debut on this show. The winners of the four matches qualified for the tag team main event.

First match was Shun Miyatake Vs Koju Iwasaki. Miyatake has been appearing on DDT’s main shows for the past couple of months trying to prove he is ready to graduate but Amon Tsurumi would constantly turn him down. An injury put a stop to that and this was finally his chance. Miyatake was able to win with a Spear which he calls the Heart Attack.

Next up was Shunma Katsumata Vs Dai Suzuki. Katsumata has been wrestling on the main shows since April. Suzuki was appreciative of the support from the crowd despite losing the match. He said he felt the warmth of the fans when he entered the ring and it gave him encouragement.

Match #3 was sumo wrestler vs kickboxer as Kazusada Higuchi faced Kota Umeda. In this case sumo came out the winner when Higuchi submitted Umeda with the Canadian Backbreaker. Umeda refused to shake hands with Higuchi after the match and kicked his arm away.

The last of the singles matches saw Ryota Nakatsu defeat Union rookie Tomoya Kawamura. The underground martial artist countered Kawamura’s Moonsault into a Cross Armbreaker to achieve victory. Kawamura was pretty embarrassed to lose to a debuting wrestler.

The main event paired off the two senior rookies against the two debuting rookies. Miyatake & Katsumata took on Higuchi & Nakatsu. Katsumata attempted the Swan Dive X Factor but Higuchi caught him in mid-air and gave him the Oklahoma Stampede. He lifted him up for the Canadian Backbreaker but then changed it into the Nodowa Otoshi Choke Slam for the three count.

When the matches were over, Amon Tsurumi gave a speech. He said the only way to determine if the event was a success is if the crowd in attendance enjoyed it. The audience gave a big applause in response. Tsurumi commiserated Kawamura and wished him luck that he wouldn’t rot because of it. He then admitted to Miyatake that he got to debut 100 million years earlier than he expected and he congratulated him. Higuchi had the final words, saying when he retired from sumo wrestling he felt like he had given up his dream. But DDT gave him an opportunity and he appreciates it. Together everybody in DNA will do their best.

The next scheduled DNA shows are 9th January in Shinjuku and 5th February in Kitazawa. In Shinjuku, Miyatake will take on Jun Kasai!
