DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2014”, 31/08/2014
Shinjuku FACE
650 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Takanashi pinned Katsumata with the Takatonic (7:58).
2. MIKAMI & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Matsuno pinned Nakazawa with a Leg Lock Clutch (10:45).
3. Antonio Honda & Hoshitango defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata with the Diving Fist Drop (11:13).
4. DJ Nira defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Modified La Magistral Cradle (12:50).
5. Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Akito pinned Takao with a Sunset Flip (12:19).
6. Kota Ibushi 10th Anniversary Match: Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Shuji Ishikawa & Gota Ihashi when Ibushi pinned Ihashi with a Reverse Spear Drop (16:12).
7. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Final: Keisuke Ishii defeated Tetsuya Endo with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (17:57).

The next challenger for the KO-D Openweight Title has been decided. Keisuke Ishii defeated Tetsuya Endo in the final of the Young Wrestler Tournament. Ishii had been saying he was statisticly the favourite to win the tournament and he was proven right. However, Ishii’s stats against the champion HARASHIMA are not so good. He waves this off and says he does not care because he has gained a lot of experience and is now confident he can win the title.

Kota Ibushi dropped Gota Ihashi right on his head for the finish of the semi-main event. The match celebrated Ibushi’s 10 years in wrestling but was constantly delayed due to injuries to Ibushi and original participant Taiji Ishimori. The match finally happened today with HARASHIMA in Ishimori’s place. Tsurumi Amon was worried that Ibushi didn’t like the match but Ibushi said it was fun. The Combat Bike from Sumo Hall was used here, Konosuke Takeshita used it to run over Ihashi outside the ring.

Smile Squash scored an upset victory over Team Dream Futures. Tension is building between the two sides when Akito & Yasu Urano attempted to steal Drift’s KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after the match. An angry Shigehiro Irie was able to stop them from doing so.

DJ Nira won a match! In a result that came out of nowhere, Nira tricked Daisuke Sasaki into letting go of the Crossface Lock and then pinned him with a modified La Magistral Cradle. Earlier in the match Sasaki had Nira trapped in the Crossface Lock but rather than tapping out, Nira instead Rocket Punched the referee.

In Match #3 Antonio Honda stole Kazuki Hirata’s  Magnum HIRATA mask from him and even danced to “Tokyo Go” before hitting the Diving Fist Drop to win.

Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa & Yoshihiko will take place in Osaka on 13th September as part of Ibushi’s 10th Anniversary celebration.

Shun Miyatake (Trainee) announced that he is scheduled to return from injury in October.

Complete Card For “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”

July 22, 2014

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014 ~MAYBE SUMMER WILL CHANGE MY LIFE~”, 17/08/2014
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

6. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Muscle Sakai
7. Special Single Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Shuji Kondo
8. Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi
9. KO-D Openweight Title – 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kenny Omega Vs Isami Kodaka

The card for DDT’s biggest show of the year is now filled up. Due to the double KO on Sunday, HARASHIMA is still the KO-D Openweight Champion yet Kenny Omega still has a claim for a title shot. So Kenny has been added to the HARASHIMA Vs Isami Kodaka main event at Sumo Hall. I think the 3 Way match is sudden death, so HARASHIMA could lose the title without getting pinned.

Kota Ibushi is slowly recovering from the concussion he suffered earlier this month. He has begun to train again in preparation for his return at Sumo Hall. Ibushi was allowed to choose who his opponent will be. He wanted it to be someone he learned a lot from. As a joke he picked sumo wrestler Hakuho Sho, who is currently undefeated in the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament. Then he picked Sanshiro Azuma from a manga called Fighting Detectives. Ibushi finally gave a serious answer and decided Shuji Kondo from WRESTLE-1 will be his opponent. Ibushi and Kondo had matches together in dragondoor and El Dorado during 2005 and 2006. They last fought each other at the 2011 “ALL TOGETHER” show. Ibushi believes he developed his style because of his matches with Kondo.

LiLiCo and the Up Up Girls are some of the musical guests appearing on the show.

GENTARO is a last minute addition to the card, returning to DDT for the first time since August 2012.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Danshoku Dino Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Akito

My favourite time of the year on the DDT calender is Beer Garden week. This is where DDT’s roster are at their most creative because they get to make the matches. So far we have ghost stories, a 5 Way Ladder match, some boxing, the return of Ultimate Superstars Action and a Smile Squash Triple Threat to look forward to. Unfortunately there is no more Lariat Pro Wrestling but in it’s place we get Knee Pro Wrestling. So expect the Boma Ye and Busaiku Knee Kick to be used a lot. There are two shows that have yet to have any matches booked for it. They are the first and final days of the series.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN OSAKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUTENKAKU~” Results

July 13, 2014

motel-drift-shuten

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN OSAKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUTENKAKU~”, 13/07/2014
Osaka Higashinari Kumin Hall
489 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi defeated Shoichi Uchida and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Oishi pinned Matsunaga with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (9:18).
2. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kiai Ryuuken Ecchan when Soma pinned Ecchan with the Gin And Tonic (11:29).
3. Yasu Urano defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Japanese Leg Lock Clutch (10:48).
4. Kota Ibushi 10th Anniversary Debut Produce – Kickboxing Rules: Kota Ibushi defeated Gota Ihashi and Michael Nakazawa by Knockout (4R 1:57) (Special Referee: Kota Ibushi).
5. Match Must End By Ring Out: Danshoku Dino defeated DJ Nira by Ring Out (1:03:17).
6. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated MIKAMI & Isami Kodaka when HARASHIMA pinned MIKAMI with the Somato (10:58).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi (c) when Honda pinned Takanashi with a Takatonic Crosscut (16:50).
*Shuten-dōji failed in V2. Happy Motel become the 11th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Happy Motel are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! The trio’s good fortunes since their formation continued when they defeated Shuten-dōji to win the belts. With this being his first championship in his career, Tetsuya Endo said he lost his championship virginity. No. 1 Contenders Team Dream Futures were at ringside to watch the title match but Antonio Honda had a different idea for his team’s first title defence. Happy Motel will face both Shuten-dōji and Drift in a 3 Way match for the title at Korakuen Hall on 20th July.

Isami Kodaka took Kota Ibushi’s place in the semi-main event, teaming with MIKAMI to face HARASHIMA & Akito. HARASHIMA pinned MIKAMI with the Somato but was reminded by Kodaka that in order to face him at Sumo Hall he has to beat Kenny Omega at Korakuen first. Kodaka also said he is confident HARASHIMA and Omega will have a great match together.

The despicable DJ Nira attacked Makoto Oishi with a pencil after the opening match, prompting Danshoku Dino to come to his friend’s rescue. Nira challenged Dino to a No DQ, No Pinfall, No Give Up, No Countout match that could only end when a wrestler was thrown over the top rope and out of the ring. The match took place later in the show and lasted over an hour. Dino and Nira brawled away from ringside with an injured Oishi chasing after them. Rather than wait for them to return, DDT decided to carry on with the show. Dino & Nira would reappear inbetween the remaining matches only to fight their way out of the arena again. Finally when the main event was done they fought back into the ring and Dino eventually threw Nira over the top rope to the floor for the victory.

Kota Ibushi was able to contribute to the show by being the special referee for a kickboxing match between Gota Ihashi and Michael Nakazawa. The match was part of Ibushi’s 10th Anniversary celebration and Ibushi revealed it was originally supposed to be Nakazawa Vs Yoshihiko. Nakazawa protested the match because he has no kickboxing experience and he had no shin guards either. Ibushi made some questionable calls over knockdowns and also allowing the two to fight outside the ring. Ihashi even put Nakazawa in a Boston Crab and Ibushi just asked if Nakazawa wanted to give up. Nakazawa had enough and in the fourth round removed his tights and gave Ibushi the Ultimate Venom Arm. While Nakazawa prepared to do the same to Ihashi, Ibushi recovered and put on a boxing glove. He swung at Nakazawa but Nakazawa ducked making Ihashi take the blow instead. Ibushi tried a High Kick but the same thing happened and Ihashi was down for the count. Ibushi then knocked out Nakazawa with a Sole Butt, counted both Nakazawa and Ihashi out and declared himself the winner. After the match Ibushi said he will try and return to action at Korakuen Hall and promises to survive the G1 Climax.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN OSAKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUTENKAKU~”, 13/07/2014
Osaka Higashinari Kumin Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Shoichi Uchida Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kiai Ryuuken Ecchan
3. Kota Ibushi 10th Anniversary Debut Produce – Kickboxing Rules: Michael Nakazawa Vs Gota Ihashi

6. HARASHIMA & Akito Vs MIKAMI & X
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo

Happy Motel are the newest group in DDT. After beating Shuten-dōji a few days ago they already became the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

With Ibushi still out of action, Gota Ihashi gets to take his place in one of the matches meant to celebrate Ibushi’s 10th Anniversary. It will be a Kickboxing match against Michael Nakazawa. For Nakazawa’s sake it’s a good thing Ibushi won’t be involved in it now. Painful things tend to happen to Nakazawa whenever he fights Ibushi.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2014”, 20/07/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
2. Kota Ibushi 10th Anniversary Match: Kota Ibushi, Taiji Ishimori & Gota Ihashi Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Shuji Ishikawa & Daisuke Sasaki
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kenny Omega
*Kenny Omega will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

If Ibushi can go ahead with his 10th Anniversary match then we will get to see him team with Taiji Ishimori from Pro Wrestling NOAH.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BEER GARDEN”, 23/07/2014
Ichigaya Nanhai Memorial Clinic

1. Special Single Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs X
2. Special Video Director’s Cut Match: Aoi Ishibashi Vs Manami Kanda (Special Referee/Director: Shibata)
3. Special Beer Garden Match: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Mr. Judo
4. Special Tag Team Match: Ken Ohka & Tiger Bed Scene Vs Osamu Namiguchi & Shota

Ganbare☆Wrestling does not want to be left out of Beer Garden week so they will be holding their own show. With blackjack. And hookers.

Another J-Soul Pandita has been brought into captivity for Ganpuro. It’s name is probably just supposed to be J-Soul Pandita IV but the website has it as J-Soul Pandita III IV. I hope it is the latter just for how absurd that name is.

Yumehito Imanari has invited Ganpuro’s fans to come up with suggestions for his opponent.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KASGOSHIMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TENMONKAN~” Results

April 20, 2014

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KASGOSHIMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TENMONKAN~”, 20/04/2014
Oro City Hall
291 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. MIKAMI defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Ultimate Venom Stinger (8:37).
2. 3 Way Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Danshoku Dino and Antonio Honda when Endo pinned Honda with a Moonsault (7:08).
*Tetsuya Endo wins one of Antonio Honda’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts.
3. Kiss His Ass Hole Match: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Hiroshi Fukuda when Takagi made Fukuda Kiss Danshoku Dino’s Ass Hole (7:35).
4. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Yuto Aijima & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when HARASHIMA pinned Matsunaga with the Somato (11:34).
5. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Akito & Makoto Oishi when KUDO pinned Oishi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (10:20).
6. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Ibushi pinned Takao with the Sit Down Last Ride (16:30).

Today’s show was in Kota Ibushi’s home town of Kagoshima. He said when DDT returns he wants to have a title defence there.

KUDO completes a clean sweep of the weekend tour, getting the pinfall in all three of his matches. With DDT’s next show being the monthly Korakuen Hall event, the KO-D Openweight Champion is now ready for whatever Akito throws at him.

Danshoku Dino was knocked out during the 3 Way Match and his unconscious body was left lying down prone on the top turnbuckle. Sanshiro Takagi and Hiroshi Fukuda were unable to remove Dino before their match could begin so Takagi challenged Fukuda to an impromptu Kiss His Ass Hole Match. The winner would be whoever forced his opponent to kiss Dino’s ass. Fukuda was able to force Takagi to pucker up but a ref bump meant that no one was there to end the match. Takagi recovered, gave Fukuda the Sit Down Himawari Bomb and planted him nose first into Dino’s rear end to win, this time with the ref in full view.

For the entire weekend, Amon Tsurumi wanted Shigehiro Irie to cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract and challenge KUDO to a sudden KO-D Title match. Tsurumi’s reasoning was because at this time last year when Irie was champion,  Daisuke Sasaki constantly threatened to cash in his contract. Amon wanted Irie to do the same so this time he would be the bully instead of the bullied. Irie refused each night and on this show explained it is disgusting for somebody to cash in on an unexpecting opponent so he won’t be doing it that way.

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT” Results

March 30, 2014

akito-kudo

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

0. Dark Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Shun Miyatake with a Small Package (1:31).
1. Soma Takao defeated Gota Ihashi with a Diving Foot Stomp (5:13).
2. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Takeshita pinned Nira with the Touchdown (10:27).
3. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated MIKAMI & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Backslide Pin (9:36).
4. Kikutaro defeated Guanchulo with the Shining Kikuzard (14:31).
5. Lucha Libre Rules: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki pinned Hirata after the PK Mind.
*Daisuke Sasaki wins Kazuki Hirata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
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.

DDT held two late night shows in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The second show was dedicated to a one night arm wrestling tournament called the GO-1 CLIMAX. The winner would get a ¥50,000 cash prize. The final turned out to be a preview for the 13th April main event as Kota Ibushi and Konosuke Takeshita took each other on, with Ibushi winning. Takeshita told Ibushi he beat his right arm but his left arm is stronger.

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.

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.

Kenny Omega believes that when the Golden Lovers formed and won the KO-D Tag Team Titles in 2009 they were the best team in DDT. 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.

Kota Ibushi Signs With New Japan, Also With DDT

October 7, 2013

ibushi-njpw-ddt

The day many New Japan fans have been waiting for (and I have been somewhat dreading) has finally happened. Kota Ibushi has signed a contract with New Japan! He is now a full time member of the New Japan roster. However in what may be a first for Japanese wrestling, Ibushi will also continue to be under contract with DDT. So Ibushi will be wrestling for both companies. His NJPW contract lasts for one year, as it traditionally is for every New Japan wrestler while his DDT contract lasts for another three years.

It is interesting how this deal came about. New Japan chairman Naoki Sugabayashi has attempted to sign Ibushi in the past but could never convince him to jump ship. In fact he even admits that if this happened decades ago he would have paid a lot of money to steal him from DDT. Fortunately New Japan and DDT have a good relationship and Sugabayashi realises the potential Ibushi has if he wrestles for both promotions. Sugabayashi recently made an official offer to Sanshiro Takagi and even then Takagi had to convince Ibushi to take the deal! Ibushi says he loves DDT and does not want to leave the company but after a deal was made to wrestle for both he finally agreed. For now Ibushi will exclusively wrestle for New Japan and DDT but offers for appearances in other promotions could still be considered.

However, Ibushi did not get everything he wanted from the deal. His request to have Michael Nakazawa continue to be in his corner for the New Japan matches has been repeatedly turned down. Takagi even joked that he will force Ibushi to go out to the ring alone if he has to. But Sugabayashi did offer to send Captain New Japan over to DDT so he would become Captain DDT. Hey it could be worse. They could send over YOSHI-HASHI.

In DDT it will be business as usual for Ibushi and he will still be available for the crazy stuff like the Falls Count Anywhere matches that take place outdoors. He will not change his style for New Japan and wants to focus on the Junior Heavyweight division and win the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title from Prince Devitt. He also wants to face wrestlers he has never fought before. His schedule will increase because he will also appear on New Japan’s tours. Both New Japan and DDT will work together to avoid any double bookings if the companies are hosting events on the same day.

Ibushi’s first match as a New Japan wrestler will be at Sumo Hall on 14/10 for the “KING OF PRO-WRESTLING” iPPV. He teams with Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma to face Prince Devitt’s BULLET CLUB faction.
