*V8 for Shigehiro Irie. Yuji Okabayashi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Shigehiro Irie has survived the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract gauntlet in one piece. Four contracts, four title defences and Irie defeated every challenger in his way. The toughest challenge was saved for last. Yuji Okabayashi from Big Japan had the strength and ability that outmatched the champion but Irie had the heart to give the challenger everything he’s got. With Okabayashi out of the way, Irie now has one more big challenge to look forward to, HARASHIMA at Sumo Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi pulled a muscle a day before the show and had to be replaced with Jun Kasai.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi were finally albe to defeat the Monster Army thanks to some help from Kensuke Sasaki. The new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions will defend the titles on 18/8 but their challengers will be determined on the day of the show. The Monster Army wanted an automatic rematch but Tsurumi Amon put them in a dark match instead. Antonio Honda, Hoshitango and their new ally Jun Kasai will take on Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi and a mystery partner in a Falls Count Anywhere match held outside of Sumo Hall.

Kota Ibushi & Tetsuya Endo did a stereo Shooting Star Press spot that was described as “beautiful” by Extreme Party.

Yankii Ni Cho Kenju will challenge Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi for the KO-D Tag Team Titles at the 18/8 Sumo Hall show.

The Monster Army has gone too far with their crimes. This time they have stolen a bronze gown belonging to Seiji Sakaguchi, Yukio’s father! The Army also revealed Tetsu Watanabe is one of their top marshals. Yukio Sakaguchi challenged the Monster Army to an 8-Man Tag Team match for 17/8. Yukio will team with Masa Takanashi, Akito and Tetsuya Endo plus he will have his brother Kenji Sakaguchi in his corner.

Daisuke Sasaki stole DJ Nira’s stuff and wore them for the Battle Royal.

Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita will happen at the 17/8 Sumo Hall show. The match is sponsored by a fashion brand called DRESSCAMP. Takeshita’s trend of big matches continue the next night when he will face Katsuhiko Nakajima.

The annual DDT48 General Election returns, beginning on 24th August with the polls closing on 30th September. Results will be announced on 2nd October.

DDT “KING OF DDT NAGOYA 2013” Results

July 6, 2013

DDT “KING OF DDT NAGOYA 2013”, 06/07/2013
Nagoya Telepia Hall
438 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kengo Takai, Makoto Oishi & Akito defeated Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Tetsuya Endo when Takai pinned Endo with the Dera HOF Buster (7:39).
2. NAKAZA-1 CLIMAX Opening Ceremony Battle Royal: Kota Ibushi defeated Danshoku Dino, KUDO, Masa Takanashi, FUMA and DJ Nira (6:42).

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (14:18).
*V7 for Shigehiro Irie.

The Shigehiro Irie title reign rolls on after an emotional challenge from his mentor Sanshiro Takagi. It’s daunting enough to take on your teacher, but for him to name a new finishing move after your favourite AV idol just to play mind games? That takes things to another level. But Irie was able for the task and defeated Takagi to score a seventh KO-D Title defence. Both men were in tears after the match and Irie thanked Takagi for helping him become stronger in his hometown.

Takagi suffered a whiplash from a Fire Thunder Driver just before the end of the match.

The King of DDT 2nd Round provided the other big stories today. Kenny Omega defeated Daisuke Sasaki in the first match. Omega praised Sasaki afterwards for his growth as a good wrestler. Yukio Sakaguchi countered Antonio Honda’s Anaconda Vice into a Reverse Cross Armbreaker to grab the submission victory. Sakaguchi called Honda a formidable opponent and he is now confident he can win the tournament in his first try. HARASHIMA went through another hard fought battle with Hikaru Sato and won with the Swan Dive Somato.

The big surprise of the tournament has been Konosuke Takeshita. The rookie who hasn’t even had a full year in DDT is now two matches away from a main event title match at Sumo Hall. Takeshita defeated Yasu Urano and left a message that his Touchdown finisher can defeat anyone. Urano said his loss was embarrassing and a mistake.

With the 2nd Round over, the Semi-Final draw took place. The results is HARASHIMA Vs Takeshita and Omega Vs Sakaguchi taking place in Osaka tomorrow along with the big final.

Michael Nakazawa set up the NAKAZA-1 CLIMAX for some of the King of DDT 1st Round losers to compete in. Kota Ibushi won the Battle Royal and the prize was an immediate match against Nakazawa. Ibushi easily beat him in under a minute.

Sumo Hall Update, It’s Madness

June 24, 2013

DDT “PROGRESS AND HARMONY OF WRESTLING”, 17/08/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Wrestling Style Vs Van: BiS Vs DPG
2. All Night Nippon GOLD Personality Battle Royal: Sanshiro Takagi Vs X
3. Idol Lumberjack 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi (Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～) Vs Yuko Miyamoto (LinQ) Vs Winner of 6/7 Up Up Girls Match (Up Up Girls)
4. Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi

Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi is confirmed as the main event for Night 1. This event is more of a entertainment variety show rather than a typical pro wrestling show (which DDT doesn’t do that often at Sumo Hall anyway).

The Idol Lumberjack 3 Way Match is exactly what it sounds like. Each idol group will represent a wrestler and then surround the ring as the lumberjacks. They will be armed with weapons and are allowed to attack anyone who leaves the ring. Any wrestler who comes into physical contact with an idol will be immediately disqualified. Makoto Oishi and Yuko Miyamoto are two of the confirmed participants. The third will be decided in a match between Sanshiro Takagi and Isami Kodaka that takes place on 14th July. So far the idol groups involved are Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～ on Oishi’s side, LinQ on Miyamoto’s side and the Up Up Girls siding with the remaining wrestler.

The Battle Royal is sponsored by the All Night Nippon GOLD radio programme.

The opening contest involves two male music groups that Hiroshi Fukuda has some association with.

Mita Sayako from Samurai! TV and Ryota Yamasato from Nankai Candies are the two hosts for the show. Other artists and personalities scheduled to appear are Tetsu Watanabe (Antonio Honda’s father), Kenji Sakaguchi (Yukio Sakaguchi’s brother), Kenji Otsuki and Jun Retsu.

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013”, 18/08/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – “Research Group” Battle Royal: Komyo (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs 2013 King Of DDT Winner

Komyo is a large framed autograph from artist Akihiro Miwa and it is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Komyo is also currently in possession of a Research Institute Group and most likely won’t show up at another wrestling event before this show. So it’s probably safe to say the painting will stay as champion until the show takes place. Unless DJ Nira sneaks into the building with a hammer.

Last but not least, I assume many of you have seen the poster advertising the two shows? The nude photographs of the DDT roster were taken by professional photographer Leslie Kee and are part of a photobook DDT will release that weekend. Don’t worry, it won’t be exclusively nude photos.

– KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (10:58).
*V6 for Shigehiro Irie. Daisuke Sasaki cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Shigehiro Irie now has the record for the most KO-D Openweight Title defences in a single reign thanks to back to back defences in Korakuen Hall tonight. First off, Irie’s friend and Drift stablemate Keisuke Ishii cashed in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract as scheduled. Takao Soma said in the pre-match video he was worried that his two friends knew each other so well something bad could happen because of it. He chose no side by standing in the neutral corner outside the ring for the entire match. Irie defeated Ishii but had little time to rest as Daisuke Sasaki (who according to himself was not scheduled to be on the show due to injury) suddenly appeared and cashed in his contract for an immediate title match. Irie showed he had the heart of a champion and was able to defeat Sasaki to keep the championship. Then Yuji Okabayashi arrived with his contract and told Irie to “polish the beautiful belt” because he will cash in his contract next month at the 21/7 Korakuen show. That’s if he does not lose the contract to somebody else before then of course.

That wasn’t the end of the KO-D Title planning. Irie requested a KO-D Title defence against his mentor Sanshiro Takagi and for it to be held in Nagoya. Irie noted that Takagi beat him in a singles match back in January and also beat him in a tag team match the last time they wrestled in Nagoya, the city where he began his wrestling career. Tsurumi Amon said it was impossible to book the match. Takagi wanted it and said he would forfeit his spot in the King Of DDT tournament to make the match happen. Amon backed down and booked the match for Nagoya Telepia Hall on 6th June. Once all of that stuff was over with, Keisuke Ishii reappeared to congratulate and shake hands with his friend Irie.

The Monster Army’s counter attack on the Golden Rendezvous was a success. They are once again the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi threw out a challenge to the new champions and gave a hint that their third partner is somebody who hates Antonio Honda. The title match is booked for the 21/7 Korakuen show.

Yukio Sakaguchi’s younger brother Kenji Sakaguchi will compete at “PROGRESS AND HARMONY OF WRESTLING” the first of DDT’s two shows in Sumo Hall this year on 17/8. Kenji is a former soccer player turned actor. The main event for the show will be Kota Ibushi Vs Danshoku Dino.

The newest Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion is a painting created by Akihiro Miwa. The Iron Man Battle Royal will be held again in Sumo Hall for the “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013” show on 18/8.

The King of DDT 1st Round draw was held in the ring after the show. The matches are Kenny Omega Vs MIKAMI, Takao Soma Vs X (Takagi’s vacant spot), Konosuke Takeshita Vs Masa Takanashi, Kota Ibushi Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi, Danshoku Dino Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Hikaru Sato Vs Akito and HARASHIMA Vs KUDO.

Not sure if it was curiosity or an insult but Guanchuro asked Tetsuya Endo if he is a virgin during the dark match. The bout was Aggressor’s last match in Japan for the time being.

The Monster Army are launching the counter attack to reclaim the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. This time they have added heavy artillery in the form of Hoshitango taking Daisuke Sasaki’s place. Could Sasaki’s absence on the card be a hint that he will cash in his contract?

The 2013 KING OF DDT tournament will take place on three shows. Round 1 will be held at Shinjuku FACE on 28th June, Round 2 will be in Nagoya Telepia Hall on 6th July and the remaining rounds will be held in Umeda Nasci Hall the day after. The winner of the tournament will get a main event KO-D Title shot at DDT’s biggest event of the yeat, the 18/8 Sumo Hall show. The entries this year are Sanshiro Takagi, Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, HARASHIMA, KUDO, MIKAMI, Danshoku Dino, Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi, Takao Soma, Akito, Konosuke Takeshita, Antonio Honda, Hikaru Sato and Yukio Sakaguchi. The first round draw will be held straight after the 23/6 Korakuen show.

Konosuke Takeshita was also brought up but Sato thinks he is not entitled to get an opportunity.

7. Keisuke Ishii Vs Akito

As explained below, the main event determines who will face Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title at Korakuen Hall later this month.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, 23/06/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Yoshihiko (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The main event will change if Keisuke Ishii loses his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract at any show before then. The contract is the only claim Ishii has to a title shot and he has confirmed he will cash it in at Korakuen Hall. Between now and then he risks losing the contract to either a member of Ura-Shima-Kudo, a member of the Golden Rendezvous or Akito. If Akito beats Ishii, he will also cash it in at Korakuen Hall and take on Irie for the KO-D Title.

Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto are scheduled to wrestle on the show, most likely teaming together.

In the immediate rematch, DJ Nira tapped out not from a submission but out of fear when he saw Toru Owashi standing on the top turnbuckle ready to leap onto him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE FOURTH MEETING”, 06/06/2013
Shibuya Deseo

1. KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

After defeating KANNA at the last event, Chikage Kiba wants to become the ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro by beating Miyu Yamashita. Miyu is currently undefeated with a record of two wins and one draw.

Shoko Nakajima is the newest trainee for Tokyo Joshi Pro. Nakajima is from Niigata and was born on 19th July, 1991. She is 147cm high, has blood type A, likes theatre and comedy and is nicknamed Nakaji. Nakajima only began watching live wrestling a while ago and was inspired to become one because she enjoys to perform in front of an audience. Although she is new to wrestling, her father is a fan so she aims to be like her father’s favourite wrestler Chaparrita ASARI. Her debut match against KANNA will only be a three minute exhibition bout and she may change her name and ring gear when she has her first official match.
