The final spot will be awarded to the winner of a mini tournament dedicated to the younger wrestlers. The Young Tournament will consist of two matches to be held in K-DOJO on 30/11. The matches will be Tetsuya Endo Vs Hiroshi Fukuda and Kazuki Hashimoto Vs Tank Nagai. The final will take place in DDT the next day. Yuji Hino was originally entered into the tournament but he has pulled out since he is still recovering from elbow surgery and will not be ready in time. Kaji Tomato takes his place.

The early rounds up until the quarter final will all have a ten minute time limit. The semi finals will have a 15 minute time limit and the pairings will be decided by a lottery. Sudden Death will be used for time limit draws. Wrestlers only need to pin their opponent for one second to win during Sudden Death. These rules were used by K-DOJO for a tournament they held earlier this year. The final will have no time limit.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,851 Fans – Super No Vacancy

5. DDT Extreme Title – Blindfold Hidden Breasts Match: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA stripped Honda’s bra with the Somato (12:03).
*V1 for HARASHIMA.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when Kodaka pinned Omega with the Rasengan (20:57).
*V3 for Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.

Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto made it clear they are the very best tag team in DDT right now after defeating the Golden Lovers to retain the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Their next defence will be in Hakata on 15th December. The champions pointed out that two wrestlers from Union and 666 now currently dominate both the DDT and Big Japan tag team divisions and they should not be treated like fools because they come from “smelly indies”. Kodaka even asked for the title match to take place in the streets or the local shopping mall. Backstage, Kenny Omega said being defeated was the worst and both he and Kota Ibushi wrestled with injuries. He wants a Falls Count Anywhere rematch in DDT next year and even Ibushi said he wants revenge.

HARASHIMA defended the DDT Extreme Title in a Blindfold Hidden Breasts Match against Antonio Honda. The rule were both men had to wear blindfolds and bras. The first man to find and strip his opponent’s bra would win. Yukinori Matsui got caught in the crossfire a few times and narrowly avoided the Somato from the champion. HARASHIMA was able to knock down Honda with a High Kick and then flattened him with the Somato, pulling off Honda’s bra afterwards to win. HARASHIMA complimented Honda for coming up with a great match idea which taught him some valuable experience.

DJ Nira suddenly appeared with Daisuke Kiso by his side. He told HARASHIMA it would be either him or Kiso who will be the next challenger. He then gave Kiso the Rocket Punch and said he was the next challenger. The match is booked for the 23rd November show in Yokohama However, Guanchulo earlier won a Battle Royal that granted him a shot at HARASHIMA’s Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. It was agreed that he will face HARASHIMA in Sendai on the 24th. Kazuki Hirata snuck into the ring and attacked HARASHIMA. He rolled over HARASHIMA for a pin but only got a two count. He then fled the ring. If that wasn’t enough, Amon Tsurumi announced that HARASHIMA will defend his KO-D Openweight Title against Yukio Sakaguchi at the 23rd December Korakuen Hall show. HARASHIMA offered a handshake to Sakaguchi but he gave him a fist bump instead.

Speaking of Sakaguchi, he knocked out Shigehiro Irie with a Knee Strike to the face during their tag team match. Irie actually kicked out of the pin but was too groggy to stand up so the referee called for the match to end. A stretcher was brought out but Irie was helped out to the locker room by Keisuke Ishii and Soma Takao instead. Irie had no idea what happened and didn’t know the match was over.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have found the perfect partner to go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. That wrestler is Aja Kong! The trio earned a title shot by beating two thirds of the champs and Kazuki Hirata. Dino said they are all ready to bukkake on the grand champion Akebono.

Saki Akai will return for her third wrestling match at the 23/12 Korakuen show.

Masa Takanashi will be holding a special 10th Anniversary show in Edogawa on 17th December. Shuji Ishikawa, Kazuhiro Tamura, Emi Sakura and the UMA Corps will all appear on the show.

In 2010 they became legendary and he thinks they are still the best tag team not just in DDT but in the world. He acknowledged how popular Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto are but thinks they are not in the same league as himself and Ibushi.

HARASHIMA has granted Antonio Honda a rematch for his newly won DDT Extreme Title, this time in a different match type to be decided.

If Danshoku Dino’s team wins the Six-Man Tag match, they will become No. 1 Contender’s for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

Popularity power can only take you so far. Danshoku Dino earned his place in the main event by winning the 2013 DDT48 General Election. He put his Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line against HARASHIMA, with his KO-D Openweight Title up for grabs as well. Dino dug deep but was not strong enough to dethrone the champion. However, he kept fighting until he could not do so anymore. HARASHIMA got near falls with the Somato. Dino got one last chance shot with the Gay-do Clutch but HARASHIMA kicked out and followed up with a Running Knee Lift. Dino collapsed and the referee called for the match to end in HARASHIMA’s favour. Dino was dejected after the match and hid his head under his hands sadly reminding himself that he won the DDT48 Election.

The dreaded Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament made a surprise return after the main event. The 18-person tournament was done to determine the No. 1 contender for the KO-D Title. Antonio Honda was the last man standing and he will face HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title in Osaka on 2th November. Sanshiro Takagi appeared to officiate the semi finals but couldn’t do the final due to muscle tension. Luckily Ryota Yamasato, the Nankai Candies member who was involved with DDT’s Sumo Hall shows this year was in the audience and stepped in to judge the final.

Some bad blood between Kota Ibushi and Hikaru Sato was rekindled after the semi-main event. The two brawled with each other even though the match was over. The match itself spilled out of the ring and into the crowd, highlighted by Ibushi Moonsaulting onto Sato from one of the spectator entrances.

Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Konosuke Takeshita with a little help from his tambourine. Afterwards he happily thanked everyone and Takeshita for the match, then told Takeshita that there is no need for two people in the entertainment industry to be nicknamed “The Future”. He will now take the name solely for himself. Takeshita shut him up with a Dropkick but Fukuda was still able to have the last word. “Perfect…”

There was a problem with the DDT Extreme Title match. Antonio Honda and Super Sasadango Machine both arrived to the building feeling incredibly tired. When the time came for the champion Honda to decide what the rules of the match should be, both he and Sasadango fell asleep in the ring. When it became time for the match to begin Amon Tsurumi made the decision himself and made it a Sleep Prevention Death Match where the goal is to make your opponent fall asleep for three seconds. A futon was placed in the ring and the lights dimmed as the match began. Sasadango gave Honda a Suplex onto the futon for a “two count”. Honda then put Sasadango in a Sleeper Hold for another “two count”. An energy drink was brought into the ring only for the spokesperson to Lariat both wrestlers and Hulk out afterwards. Honda got to the energy drink first and then knocked off Sasadango’s mask with a Diving Fist Drop, revealing him to be Muscle Sakai. Sakai recovered and hit Honda with a Missile Dropkick. He did one more but landed on top of the futon where he fell asleep. Honda gently pulled the duvet over Sakai for the “three count” and successfully defended his DDT Extreme Title. After the match Honda thanked the fans for coming to see the show or for watching it on Samurai! TV and said the match felt like he was in a dream.

After Super Sasadango Machine woke up, Saki Akai appeared and said she will team up with Yukio Sakaguchi for a mixed gender tag match in Osaka on 11th November. Amon Tsurumi titled their match the Eagles II Rocky Of Naniwa II Tag.

Isami Kodaka, Makoto Oishi and Yasu Urano together yelled “We are KAIENTAI DOJO!” before their match with the Team Dream Futures. The three wrestlers all began their careers in K-DOJO before eventually finding their way to DDT and Union.

Tetsuya Endo announced he will return to action on 27th October after recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

Tokyo Women’s Wrestling announced a new trainee, Ayumi Takada. She will debut on their first proper show in Kitizawa on 1/12.

The dark match had everyone involved break into song midway through the contest.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall
DDT48 General Election Ranking In Parentheses

0. Dark Match – 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (#23) Vs Michael Nakazawa (#14) & DJ Nira (#25)

7. KO-D Openweight Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) (#4) Vs Danshoku Dino (c) (#1)

The entire reason the DDT48 General Election exists finally pays off with this show on Sunday. Everyone on the card was voted in by the results of the election.

The main event is now a double title match. Danshoku Dino won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from KUDO in Sapporo last week. He promises to defeat HARASHIMA so he can hold both the KO-D Openweight Title and Iron Man Title at the same time. The last time both titles were defended in the same match was Kota Ibushi Vs Yoshihiko in 2009, one week shy of it being exactly four years ago. Ibushi won that match but Yoshihiko won back the Iron Man Title almost immediately afterwards. So yeah, don’t be surprised if something like that happens again.

The stipulations for the DDT Extreme Title match between Antonio Honda and the instantly popular Super Sasadango Machine will be announced during the show.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2013” Results

September 29, 2013

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2013 ~DDT48 GENERAL ELECTION LAST POLLING DAY~”, 29/09/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,052 Fans – Super No vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Guanchulo Vs Gorgeous Matsuno ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao when Kodaka pinned Takao with a Cradle (12:14).
*V1 for Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Scramble Battle Royal: KUDO defeated Akihiro (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (9:54).
Order of Elimination: Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Kazuki Hirata, Hoshitango, Cherry, Mio Shirai, Michael Nakazawa, DJ Nira, Akihiro.
*KUDO becomes the 975th champion.
3. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba defeated Hikaru Sato & Akito when MIKAMI pinned Akito with a Modified School Boy (10:36).
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Akebono defeated Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Gota Ihashi when Akebono pinned Ihashi with the Body Press (13:04).
*V1 for Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Akebono.
5. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Super Sagadang Machine when Honda pinned Machine with the Diving Fist Drop (15:48).
6. Shigehiro Irie defeated Konosuke Takeshita with a Package Piledriver (10:50).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Yasu Urano with the Somato (21:18).
*V1 for HARASHIMA.

It was an emotional main event between two friends over the KO-D Openweight Title. But Yasu Urano was determined to do anything to win the title from HARASHIMA, even if it meant targeting the champ’s injured leg. However, HARASHIMA stayed strong and was able to defeat Urano to record the first defence of his latest title reign. Urano admitted feeling ashamed for going after HARASHIMA’s injury but he was forgiven. Next for HARASHIMA is the winner of the DDT48 General Election.

Shigehiro Irie has added the Package Piledriver to his arsenal. That move might come in handy when he and Keisuke Ishii travel over to All Japan in the coming weeks.

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title being defended under Falls Count Anywhere rules guaranteed a crazy match. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Akebono were able to defeat the Golden Rendezvous in a match that went all over Korakuen Hall. Afterwards, Takagi asked Akebono if he could return on 4th November in Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum for the next title defence. Akebono said he would be there and he thanked the fans for their support. In a backstage interview Takagi bragged that his team is unbeatable. He also told Akebono they should go to a tiny place where a grand sumo champion has never fought before, like Chiba.

KUDO was absolutely dominant in the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal. He even survived an ambush by Gorgeous Matsuno & Guanchulo after winning the title.

Yankii Ni Cho Kenju bragged about winning their first of 100 planned defences of the KO-D Tag Team Title. Keisuke Ishii took the defeat in his stride and swore he will bring the All Asia Tag Team Titles to DDT!

Grogeous Matsuno was impressed with Guanchulo after their time limit draw. He requested to team with him sometime in the future.

Saki Akai will return to wrestle her second ever match at the 4th November Osaka show.

Sanshiro Takagi announced that he wants DDT to perform at the Saitama Super Arena. He said it will be possible because they were able to do shows at Sumo Hall and Budokan Hall.

Union will soon become a separate company from DDT. The spin-off has been financed by DDT ever since its rebirth in 2005. It will now be its own independent company but will continue its relationship with DDT. Union will also debut a new rookie at the 23rd October Korakuen Hall show. The name I get from translation is Suru Kawamura but that will be corrected as soon as I get the proper name.

Tokyo Women’s Wrestling will hold its first official show in Kitizawa Town Hall on 1st December. It will be the second half of a doubleshot with DDT held that day.
