6. Beer Garden Specialty! 6-Man Lottery Tag Match: KUDO, Konosuke Takeshita & HARASHIMA defeated Shigehiro Irie, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi when KUDO pinned Kazusada with the Diving Double Knee Drop (21:55).

The final day of Beer Garden 2015 had a lot going on. This was the final DDT event before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” on 23rd August so some of the matches were previews of what to expect in Sumo Hall.

In the main event the two teams of three were decided by a lottery drawing. Each ball was picked out of the box by a random fan in the audience. The teams wound up being KUDO, Konosuke Takeshita & HARASHIMA on one side and Shigehiro Irie, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi on the other. This meant KUDO and Sakaguchi would face off one more time before their KO-D Openweight Title match. KUDO’s team got the win when they isolated Higuchi and bombarded him with a German Suplex from Takeshita, an 8×4 from KUDO, a standing Somato from HARASHIMA and then the Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO to seal the deal. After the match KUDO and Sakaguchi finally put away the bad blood growing between them and bumped fists.

Masa Takanashi scored another non-title victory over Antonio Honda. Afterwards Honda said he was exhausted after his match with Transparent Mel Gibson from Thursday and it has been a struggle for him to complete Beer Garden week. However the struggle is what makes him strong going into the most important chapter of his story. He said he will be ready for Takanashi when the DDT Extreme Title is on the line.

Things are looking good for Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Ken Ohka. They beat two thirds of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. However they got the win by beating the rookie Team Drift was teaming with. Kouki Iwasaki was put away with the Spear Of Flame from Ohka, the Verdict from Sasadango and a special beer spitting Moonsault from Dino. The challengers all agreed that they need a team name for the upcoming DDT Dramatic General Election. Sasadango came up with three options: Gamba Osaka, Gamba Wrestle One or Gamba Wrestle Dream Factory. They decided for the moment to call themselves the Gamba Wrestle Dream Factory.

Makoto Oishi found a very clever way to win the 4 Way Match, rolling over Kazuki Hirata, Hiroshi Fukuda and Suguru Miyatake with a Crucifix Pin all at the same time when the three were all busy singing together.

But all of a sudden Aja Kong suddenly appeared for the first time in DDT since May. Kong located Amon Tsurumi at ringside and complained about not being on the Sumo Hall show even though she is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Tsurumi told her this year’s Battle Royal will be for tag teams instead of single wrestlers. Surprised, Kong began looking for someone to team with and picked Oishi. A frightened Oishi had no choice but to accept. Toru Owashi went over to Hirata and declared they will be in the Battle Royal. Miyatake suddenly hit Fukuda with the Heart Attack out of nowhere causing the lights to go out. When the lights came back on Yoshihiko was in the ring! It came to Fukuda’s rescue and attacked Miyatake, sending him packing. Yoshihiko and Fukuda are now joining forces for the Battle Royal.

A press conference was held during the show for LiLiCo’s pro wrestling debut. She gave an update on her training, saying she is currently on around Week 4 or 5. She has a busy schedule but spends time every day in the gym. She announced her intention to enter the Tag Battle Royal at Sumo Hall but she doesn’t have a partner. Suguru Miyatake suddenly appeared and made his case to LiLiCo, flexing his muscles for her. LiLiCo was impressed and said Miyatake looks delicious. The press conference was then interrupted by Owashi, Hirata and Fukuda who all came out to make fun of Miyatake. Aja Kong then reappeared to confront LiLiCo. Kong had to be restrained by the others as the conference ended.

Everybody in Match #2 wore pantyhose over their heads, even Daisuke Kiso. Unfortunately for Kiso he got knocked out with an accidental Lariat from Toru Owashi. Owashi put Shunma Katsumata in La Magistral Cradle but Kiso was unconscious. Yukinori Matsui appeared at the entrance also wearing pantyhose over his head and he sprinted to the ring. However Matsui somehow caught himself on the ropes. Owashi still had La Magistral applied and Kiso eventually woke up to count the pin.

After the opening match Tomomitsu Matsunaga told Daisuke Sasaki it’s been ten years since they first met. Matsunaga always wanted to team with Sasaki and he begged to join the Golden☆Storm Riders. Sasaki denied the request and apologised before leaving the ring. Matsunaga called him a bastard then spoke to Yasu Urano & Akito. He said he’s known Urano for over 10 years and fondly remembers the DDT Extreme Title match he had with Akito last year. He then begged to join Smile Squash. Urano and Akito turned him down and also apologised as they left him alone in the ring. Matsunaga would solve his unit problem later.

Gota Ihashi took one last shot at getting rid of the King Of Dark Title before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. He challenged Ryota Nakatsu to a boxing match before the show started. Nakatsu was clearly winning the fight after Round 1 but Yukio Sakaguchi suddenly appeared and took his place in Round 2. Sakaguchi easily knocked Ihashi out.

Ihashi wasn’t done for the night. He came back out later in the show with Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Last year they were part of a unit called Booing. The unit was forced to split up after it finished last in the DDT Dramatic General Election. Now Booing is back! Joining them is Kouki Iwasaki. He said Ihashi has always been there for him when he needed help so this is him repaying the favour. Together the three of them are Booing 2015. Everybody in the crowd booed the announcement.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~SHUTEN-DOJI DAY~” Results

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~SHUTEN-DOJI DAY~”, 07/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Glove Tag Match: Antonio Honda & Kota Umeda defeated Tanomusaku Toba & Kazusada Higuchi when Honda submitted Toba with a Manjigatame (2R 3:11).
2. Emi Sakura & “Kotori” defeated Masako Takanashi & Riho when “Kotori” pinned Takanashi with the Morning Star (11:55).
3. Drunk Round 6-Man Tag Team Match: Akito, Hiroshi Fukuda & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Masa Takanashi, Gota Ihashi & Kouki Iwasaki when Nakatsu pinned Ihashi after Ihashi missed the Moonsault (15:32).
4. KUDO & Isami Kodaka Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Hikaru Sato went to a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

The problems between KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi put a damper on Shuten-dōji’s Beer Garden show. The two were not comfortable being near each other until the main event when they got to square off. Isami Kodaka and Hikaru Sato were also involved as the match went for the full 30 minutes without a winner. KUDO and Sakaguchi fought tooth and nail with each other as the final seconds counted down. Masa Takanashi and a few other wrestlers tried to cool things down by declaring a toast for today’s show. KUDO and Sakaguchi went along with it but the bad blood between the two is rising higher and higher.

The participants in the semi-main event all had to drink a glass of alcohol every time music was played. The song usually came on right when a wrestler was about to do a big move. A bunch of baseball bats were brought in first to be used as weapons but then everyone used them for a drunk game of dizzy bat. Everyone fell over except for Gota Ihashi. He thought it was the perfect oppotunity to do a Moonsault from the top rope but he missed his target. Ryota Nakatsu then swung his bat at Takanashi but he hit the rope and the bat deflected into his face. Nakatsu fell on top of Ihashi for the winning pinfall.

Masako Takanashi invited Emi Sakura, Riho and “Kotori” over to promote Gatoh Move’s big show at Korakuen Hall on 13th August.

Saki Akai was the ring girl for the opening match. Both teams had to wear boxing gloves and victory could only be achieved by knockout or submission.

600 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. He Can’t Stand Anymore, That’s Enough, Oh God Save Him – Punch Drunk Glove Match: Hoshitango & Kosei Kubota defeated Tanomusaku Toba & Kota Umeda when Hoshitango knocked out Toba with a Right Hook (7:53).
2. You And I Are Prepared For The Beautifully Scattered Cherry Blossoms: Daichi Kakimoto Vs Masahiro Takanashi ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie and Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda when Higuchi submitted Fukuda with the Modified Canadian Backbreaker (11:08).
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Yasu Urano, Akito, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Suguru Miyatake when Hirata pinned Miyatake with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:55).
5. Sakura Feast Soon, Greedy Old Hag In Longevity, Gorgeous’ Friendly Premature Death, Gorgeous Brahman No Return: Masa Takanashi, Emi Sakura & Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Gorgeous Matsuno when Takanashi pinned Matsuno after Matsuno missed the Swanton Bomb (11:54).
6. Soon Men And Women Will Quietly Sleep Drunk 5 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Soma Takao Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Saki Akai ended in a Draw when everyone was knocked out after drinking liquor.
7. KUDO & Kengo Mashimo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Isami Kodaka when KUDO pinned Kodaka with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi kept their distance in the ring during the opening speeches. Masa Takanashi kept apologising for the sudden change of teams in the main event. For the match itself Takanashi refused to take sides and stood watching at the neutral corner outside the ring. During the closing show speech Sakaguchi briefly thanked the fans for attending and left when it was KUDO’s turn to speak. KUDO said he does not know what will happen to his relationship with Sakaguchi but Shuten-dōji will still exist and their planned Beer Garden show next month is still happening.

Everybody in the 5 Way match had to drink shots of tequila whenever drinking music played over the speakers. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that everyone got drunk. Konosuke Takeshita was stopped from drinking because he was mistaken for a minor. When he pointed out he is 20 years old (the legal drinking age in Japan) everybody congratulated him. All five wrestlers rolled each other around in failed pinning attempts until they all collapsed from dizziness. Everyone was too drunk to get back on their feet and they were all counted out.

Takanashi was blinded with black ink in Match #5. Gorgeous Matsuno tried to capitalise with the Swanton Bomb but missed his target. Takanashi recovered his eyesight and pinned Matsuno afterwards.

Everyone in Match #4 wound up wrestling bare-assed by the end of their bout.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,200 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

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.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015” Results

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.

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.

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.

5d. Right To Fight Favourite Wrestler: Guanchulo (13:46).
5e. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4: Super Sasadango Machine (15:38).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO defeated HARASHIMA (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (19:54).
*HARASHIMA fails in V7. KUDO becomes the 47th KO-D Openweight Champion!

DDT celebrates its 17th Anniversary with a new KO-D Openweight Champion! After seven months of dominating the main event scene, HARASHIMA was finally knocked off his throne by his former ally KUDO. The new champion gloated about how his win was the result of him leaving UraShimaKudo and he would wait for a rematch anytime. HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano glared at KUDO but both left. With the former champion out of the way, KUDO now has a whole host of new challengers ahead.

The annual free for all that is the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal returned with six prizes on the line. A KO-D Title shot at Korakuen Hall on 29th April was the prize to the winner of the Royal Rumble portion of the match. The other portion was a Ladder Match with five contracts hanging above the ring, four of them with smiley faces and one with a skull on it. Tetsuya Endo, Masa Takanashi, Kazuki Hirata and Super Sasadango Machine each grabbed a smiley face contract, giving them a KO-D Title shot whenever they want. Guanchulo got the skull contract which turned out to be the right to challenge his favourite wrestler to a match. Akito last eliminated Konosuke Takeshita to win the Rumble match and get next month’s title shot. At the end of the show Akito told KUDO that there will be no more HARASHIMA’s challenging him because he will win the belt. The current generation on top in DDT will not last forever and he is here to be the future.

Guanchulo cashed in his contract and decided to have a match with Kikutaro. The match will take place on 29th March. The other contracts can be cashed in at any show until 2nd August. But just like last year, contracts can change hands if the holder is pinned or submitted in any match held inside Japan. Amon asked if anyone was going to cash in their contract before the April Korakuen show. Endo said he wants to cherish the contract because it’s his first time, so he will not cash it in yet. Sasadango also declined because he wants to train for his title match. Takanashi said he will not betray his “big brother” and will not challenge KUDO. Hirata was the only person who said he will cash in his contract at Korakuen next month.

Retired DDT wrestler Atsuo Sawada was a guest at the show and spoke about the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title that he originally created 14 years ago. He said it was amazing that the championship is close to crowning its 1,000th champion. The 999th champion Sanshiro Takagi knew all too well about this since he was chased by Gorgeous Matsuno and Gota Ihashi throughout the show. During his speech celebrating DDT’s 17th Anniversary, Takagi announced he was sealing the Iron Man Title. Takagi said 999 was a nice number for the title lineage to end and he was also sick of wrestlers constantly attacking him. Sawada protested because he created the title to be defended all the time and to be won by any wrestler or thing. Takagi tried to convince Sawada to accept the decision by comparing the number of title reigns to Galaxy Express 999 but eventually gave up. Amon Tsurumi then announced that the title will be defended in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

Despite losing all three matches in their trial series, Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga finally impressed Amon Tsurumi with their performance. Their KO-D Tag Team Title defeat to the Golden Lovers got Tsurumi to say “Michael & Matsunaga did real good!” Kota Ibushi called both wrestlers strong in the post-match interview but he and Kenny Omega also pointed out that there are no immediate challengers for them to face next.

The Monster Army had its final battle and for the occasion Antonio Honda asked the opposing team if they could drop their guard so the entire Army could do a surprise attack one more time. After the match Honda said the unit will live on in his breast. His nipple to be exact.

Keisuke Ishii has been left feeling depressed after he and Soma Takao failed to win the All Asia Tag Team Titles in All Japan last Tuesday. That match was Ishii’s second chance to win the belts and he came up short again. He considered giving up the challenge and no longer chase after the belts. Amon Tsurumi encouraged Ishii to not give up and if Ishii couldn’t win the belts with Takao then he should try again with Shigehiro Irie. He instructed Ishii to record a video of himself asking for another title match and to send the video to Jun Akiyama.

New trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake fought to a five minute draw in a pre-show exhibition. Afterwards Tsurumi announced that Katsumata will have his debut wrestling match on the next Korakuen show on 29th April. Miyatake asked when he was going to debut. Amon was surprised by the question and told Miyatake that he is 100 years too early to even talk about having a debut.

DDT will get a new show on Samurai! TV soon. The show is called DDT Wrestling Banzai ＼(^o^)／.

DDT “OSAKA NORTHERN STORY” Results

March 2, 2014

DDT “OSAKA NORTHERN STORY”, 02/03/2014
Osaka Umeda Nasci Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Lucha Libre Rules: Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi defeated Kiai Ryuuken Ecchan & DJ Nira when Takagi pinned Nira with La Magistral Cradle (8:46).
2. MIKAMI defeated Akito with a Boomerang School Boy (9:35).
3. Michael & Matsunaga Tag Ordeal: Zeus & The Bodyguard defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Zeus pinned Nakazawa after the Double Choke Slam (11:35).
4. Kota Ibushi defeated Gota Ihashi with an Avalanche Piledriver (9:58).
5. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Takeshita pinned Honda with a German Suplex (12:23).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Sakaguchi when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (13:34).
*V1 for Team Dream Futures.
7. KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when KUDO pinned HARASHIMA with a Buzzsaw Kick (14:41).

It’s been a bad weekend for HARASHIMA. First he loses the DDT Extreme Title to Danshoku Dino and then he gets pinned by his upcoming KO-D Openweight Title challenger KUDO. If that’s not enough, it looks like KUDO has left Ura-Shima-Kudo to side with Masa Takanashi. The two have bonded over their love of alcohol with Takanashi calling KUDO his big brother. Takanashi also invited Yukio Sakaguchi to join their new unit. At first it looked like Sakaguchi ignored them but then he returned with his own liquor bottle and joined them for a drink.

Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Sakaguchi teamed up and called themselves Sakaguchi Dojo. But when they failed to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles they immediately disbanded.

Konosuke Takeshita scored a big win over Antonio Honda in their tag team match. After the match Takeshita told the fans he will be entering a Tokyo university in April after living in Osaka for his entire life. He promises he will work out and return to Osaka as a huge sized wrestler.

Whenever Kota Ibushi and Gota Ihashi are in the ring together, Ibushi usually comes up with a bad idea. This time it was a 2nd Rope Piledriver!

Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga will get a match against the Golden Lovers on the 21st March Korakuen Hall show. However due to their losing streak the KO-D Tag Team Titles will not be on the line.

Yukinori Matsui announced details for his 20th Anniversary show in Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum #2 on 13th April. The show will feature Kushinbo Kamen Vs Kikutaro.

4c. KUDO eliminared FUMA by Ring Out (15:57).
– Yasu Urano Produce – Sambo Vs Judo Bonus Track: Hiroshi Fukuda (Judo) defeated Daisuke Kiso (Sambo) with an Okurierijime (3:40).

The madness that is Beer Garden Fight 2013 continued with UraShimaKudo Day. The main event saw all four members of the group fight each other in a 4 Way Elimination match. The eliminations all happened in a short space of time with HARASHIMA surprisingly getting knocked out first by FUMA. KUDO pinned Yasu Urano and then a minute later knocked FUMA out of the ring to win.

KUDO was the referee for the Ebisuko Bar Battle Royal where the winner would get free meals at the bar for one year. Danshoku Dino and Konosuke Takeshita accidentally bumped heads during a handshake at the beginning of the show. They ended up swapping bodies (and wrestling gear) for this match as a result. If that wasn’t bad enough, Tanomusaku Toba accidentally knocked out KUDO with the Backblow during the match.

FUMA’s match was a tribute to Okinawa Pro Wrestling. He wrestled as Jinbeizamen, which was his masked gimmick during his stay in Okinawa.

HARASHIMA wrestled an old friend of his in the opener. Eririn Takagi was a part of the same student wrestling club HARASHIMA was in during his college days.

A Sambo Vs Judo challenge was set up between Daisuke Kiso and Hiroshi Fukuda to determine which martial art was better. They competed in five unique challenges that were all chosen because they did not give any advantage or disadvantage to either martial art. They were also activities that had nothing to do with anything. The five events were kanji writing, drawing Buffaloman, selling food and drink to the audience, a song contest and a bodybuilding contest. Daisuke Kiso won all five events. Well, “Daisuke Kiso” won all five to be accurate. Kiso was replaced by someone else in Rounds 2-5. At the very end of the show, Kiso and Fukuda agreed to have a proper competitive match to decide which martial art was better. Fukuda won and even got cheered by the crowd for finally being able to win something today.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013” Results

February 17, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013”, 17/02/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,532 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated DJ Nira with the Retrofit Perfect Plex (6:08).
1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango & Yuji Hino defeated MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Tetsuya Endo when Honda pinned Endo with the Diving Fist Drop (9:23).
2. Toru Owashi Return Assessment: Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa when Owashi pinned Nakazawa after Takagi gave him the Stunner (0:07).
2a. Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa defeated Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka when Takagi pinned Ohka after he gave Nakazawa the Sit Down Himawari Bomb on top of Ohka (6:57).
3. Jushin Thunder Liger & Hiromu Takahashi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito when Takahashi pinned Akito with the Amiuchi Bomb (9:40).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Kota Ibushi, Gota Ihashi & Yoshihiko when Ishii pinned Ihashi with the Kneel Kick (12:18).
5. KUDO Comeback Match: KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when KUDO pinned Dino with the Diving Double Knee Drop (17:17).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated HARASHIMA with the One-Winged Angel (20:24).
*V2 for Kenny Omega.

Kenny Omega requested a match against his good friend Michael Nakazawa. When Omega first came to Japan, Nakazawa was there for him and has been ever since. However, he doesn’t want to have a comedy match. He knows Nakazawa can make it to the next step and wants to give him one chance to prove it. Nakazawa thanked Omega for the opportunity, said he will be at 120% and will beat Omega.

KUDO achieved something rare today. He is one of the few wrestlers in Japan to win his first match back from an injury. He was rewarded with the MAGP Award from Tsurumi Amon. A tournament between all of the MAGP Award winners will take place in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 24/2. KUDO will compete with Makoto Oishi, Yasu Urano and the next person to win the award.

Keisuke Ishii’s quest to discover what he is missing to be a complete pro wrestler has brought him face to face with Yoshihiko. The doll wrestled dressed in the AKB48 “Flying Get” costume. Since it has no hair, I’m guessing Yoshihiko was pretending to be Minami Minegishi, the AKB48 singer who controversially shaved her head as punishment for being caught spending the night with a male friend. Drift was able to beat The Golden Rendezvous with Ishii pinning Gota Ihashi. Afterwards Ishii demanded Yoshihiko to tell him what he was missing, but it stayed silent. Ishii then demanded Sanshiro Takagi to come out and tell him. Instead he got a video message from President Takagi telling him he was still a student and he needed to wrestle a teacher. That teacher is Tomoaki Honma! Ishii Vs Honma was made for the 24/2 Shin-Kiba show.

Jushin Liger had some pretty nasty things to say about DDT and their fans after he & Hiromu Takahashi beat Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito. Liger called all DDT fans rotten and then challenged Sakaguchi to a singles match anywhere, even in DDT if they have to. A voice in the crowd yelled at them to do the match now and Liger said he would, leading him and Takahashi to attack Sakaguchi and Akito and start a brawl between the four.

Toru Owashi has been welcomed back into DDT after his assessment match. Sanshiro Takagi wasn’t interested in being involved and gave his own partner Michael Nakazawa a Stunner when the match begun. Owashi pinned Nakazawa but Tsurumi Amon demanded the match to restart and pleaded with Takagi to take the match seriously. The rematch began and Takagi gave Nakazawa another Stunner. Nakazawa recovered and Takagi soon got involved in the match properly, using Nakazawa as a weapon on Ken Ohka to win the match. Takagi then accepted Owashi back into DDT. Ohka however was very upset. He resigned from Union and his loss here means he is not good enough for DDT. While Amon tried to console him, Ohka “found” an envelope in Amon’s pocket with 15,000 yen inside it. He decided to start his own wrestling promotion ~~with blackjack and hookers~~! Takagi told Ohka how difficult it is to launch a promotion with only 15,000 yen but was so impressed with his passion that he allowed Ohka to take Amon’s money and go ahead with his plan.

A big name was announced for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013” on 18th August, the second of DDT’s two Sumo Hall shows. Kensuke Sasaki will be there!

One of my favorite matches in DDT will be brought back on 20th March, The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal! Hikaru Sato also announced a one day grappling tournament will take place that same day.

Kazuki Hirata will return from injury on 20/3 for his first match since January of last year when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.
