100 plastic cases, 81 wrestlers, 53 men, 26 women, 14 matches, 9 championships, 4 promotions (maybe make it 5), 2 non-human wrestlers and 1 Ultimate Party to hold it all inside Sumo Hall! Welcome to one of the largest shows DDT has ever put together. There are so many people booked that they could hold it in an empty arena and still outdraw ROH. Thanks to a lot of help from BASARA, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Wrestling this show will have tons and tons of variety. It will probably last an eternity too so you should get comfortable.

The big family reunion is a little bittersweet. On the bright side we get a big star return. But BASARA will become a completely independent company from DDT at the end of the year and they have already begun the transition process. The BASARA wrestlers all have the same goal in mind for this show. Win and steal as many championships as they can from DDT before they leave! Tokyo Joshi and Ganpro have their own spots on the card where they will aim to steal the show.

0. Under Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Mizuki Watase & Keigo Nakamura Vs Daichi Kazato, Masato Kamino & Shuhei Washida

It’s always fun to see a trainee come in and grow from show to show. The abandoned DNA brand was great for that. The first newcomer to appear in DDT since DNA’s disappearance is Keigo Nakamura. For months before his debut Nakamura was made visible on shows by being dragged into the wacky antics DDT is known for. From the swimming pool to the campsite Nakamura always had a side role to play so he became a familiar face when he finally began wrestling in matches. For his first bout in Sumo Hall he is tagging with Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Mizuki Watase to form a DDT team against a combined BASARA & Ganpro team. Daichi Kazato leads that side with the young bloods Masato Kamino & Shuhei Washida. Kazato may still be carrying the spirit of Best Stretchman V3 inside him.

0. Under Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro 8-Woman Tag Match: Hikari Noa, YUMI, Mahiro Kiryu & Suzume Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko & Mirai Maiumi

The new generation of Tokyo Joshi is in full effect here. The most experienced women are Hikari Noa and Raku and they only debuted back in January 2018! Then you get the HiSPC class of YUMI, Mahiro Kiryu, Pom Harajuku and Haruna Neko who all debuted over the last twelve months or so (poor Himawari Unagi is left out because of injury). Mirai Maiumi and Suzume are bringing up the rear as the newest girls on the roster.

0. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Difference Battle Royal: Shota (c) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs HARUKAZE Vs SAGAT Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Mina Shirakawa Vs Pokotan Vs Yoshihiko

The promise of an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title defence has been fulfilled. The belt made its way across the world to Mexico and the United States thanks to Puma King. Luckily for DDT, Kikutaro now lives in America and was able to bring the title back to Japan. Unfortunately Kikutaro already has a booking that conflicts with the date of “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” He can only make it to Sumo Hall in time if his match is placed in the semi-main event! Thankfully Hisaya Imabayashi came up with a solution. He knocked out Kikutaro and told Shota to pin him and become the new Iron Man champion. Problem solved. Now Shota has to defend the title in a Battle Royal and Kikutaro isn’t getting booked at all. Everyone who matters wins!

Let’s look at the rest of the field that Shota has to deal with. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata have been doing the usual stuff in DISASTER BOX. Gorgeous Matsuno’s wrestling career gained a new lease of life when he won the O-40 Championship, a belt exclusively fought for between wrestlers over the age of 40. HARUKAZE has been a staple of Ganpro’s joshi division. SAGAT is the violent yet at times plucky BASARA brawler. Yuki Kamifuku has found her groove in the wrestling ring and is now capable of racking up wins on a consistent basis. Her Pink Ready team with Mina Shirakawa is a big reason for that and Shirakawa herself won a championship in a wresting group ran by Best Body Japan. She also discovered a talent for rap. Then we are left with the mascots of DDT. Pokotan does its best to spread cheer until the head comes off and it violently malfunctions. And never underestimate Yoshihiko.

1. 100 Plastic Cases Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Isami Kodaka

Big Boss against BASARA Boss! The very first match announced for this show pits Sanshiro Takagi against Isami Kodaka in a rare singles bout between the two. This was placed in the proper opening spot because Takagi believes the curtain jerker is the second most important match after the main event. Kodaka wanted a crazy match to mark his goodbye from DDT so they decided on placing 100 plastic cases around ringside. Takagi has grown really fond of using them as weapons lately and they make satisfying noises when they break (take note American indies once the inevitable door shortage happens).

2. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Danshoku Dieno, Asuka, Yuki Iino, Mizuki & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Super Sasadango Machine, Yuna Manase, Jiro Kuroshio, Hiroshi Yamato & Makoto Oishi

Bloody Hell they brought back the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles. Why? Back in 2017 the first champions were crowned right here in Sumo Hall. DDT immediately discovered how difficult it was to book all members of the champion team on a regular basis so the belts quietly disappeared after the first defence. Two years later DDT stripped the champions of the belts under what I will now call the 770 Day Rule. So now we need new champions. I don’t know why but let’s go along with it. Two of the former champs Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine were given the task of drafting separate teams to fight for the vacant titles. Dieno chose the fearless Asuka, the rugby fueled Yuki Iino, the Sugar Rabbit Mizuki and the weirdest advertisement for yoga Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Sasadango’s choices are the face (and body) of the Pocchari Joshi spin-off Yuna Manase, the soon to be co-opted by the Yanks Jiro Kuroshio, the always first at karaoke Hiroshi Yamato and the left until last Makoto Oishi. With the talent on offer the belts have a second chance at life no matter which team wins. Or maybe it will fall into obscurity until the 770 Day Rule kicks in again.

3. Gauntlet Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Cody Hall Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Maki Itoh & Chris Brookes Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino

When DDT is in Sumo Hall you can always expect a Tag Team Gauntlet match in the undercard. Some newly established teams have filled out the ranks along with a couple of power duos. Yukio Naya & Cody Hall have spent several weeks feuding with each other. When Naya defeated Hall in a singles match the two put their differences behind them and formed a team together. Their thought process is nobody can stop their heavyweight size and power when it gets combined together. Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura begun teaming together when Yoshimura joined DISASTER BOX but took a step to the next level when they named their team Nautilus in September. Yukio Sakaguchi & Ryota Nakatsu are the two premier strikers in DDT and BASARA joining forces. Ganpro are represented by Shuichiro Katsumura & Kouki Iwasaki. The big wild card is the NEO Itoh Respect Army of Maki Itoh & Chris Brookes. Itoh is at a career high as the reigning International Princess Champion and Brookes is back in DDT for a run in both the tag team division and the upcoming D-ou Grand Prix. Last but certainly not least is the Tokyo Joshi team. Year after year DDT has told fans that The Steiner Brothers are not booked for their major shows. Well The Bakuretsu Sisters are sick of it! The Steiners won’t bother showing up so Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino have taken their place!

4. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

I feel bad for Shuichiro Katsumura. When he held the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title it was he who established the goal of defending it in Sumo Hall. He held onto the belt one match after another until Keisuke Ishii killed his dream just over a month before the show. So instead it is Ishii in the champion’s spot for Ganpro’s featured match on the card. When Ishii declared his intentions to make Ganpro more appealing than the other brands, Fuminori Abe answered his challenge. He also revealed a sinister plan the entire BASARA roster has put together for this show. Since BASARA is becoming independent, they want to win as many championships as they can from the DDT family and claim them as their own once they have completed the split! The Independent Jr. Title has called Ganpro its home for the last two years. Will it make the jump over to BASARA?

5. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Takato Nakano (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles have been in DDT before. Around 9 years ago in fact. I even have an incomplete title history page written up back when it was abandoned. WRESTLE-1 revived the belts in 2015 only to give up on them in 2018. Then Big Japan brought them back and they quickly jumped over to BASARA. So now we have a mishmash of teams fighting for the titles. Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Takato Nakano are the current champions going for their second defence. DAMANTION are one of the two challenger teams. Tetsuya Endo has noticeably fallen down the pecking order ever since his failure to claim the headline spot on this show. He at least has Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani keeping him company. The third team is the alliance of Ken Ohka’s Ganpro and the pervy Pocchari Joshi sub-brand ran by Yumehito Imanari. Former FMW women’s wrestler Miss Mongol has been teaming regularly with those two throughout the year.

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Friendship. Betrayal. Strength. Beauty. Championships. Roses. This match has it all. One of the biggest stories to watch in Tokyo Joshi this year was the transformation of Hyper Misao from a superhero to the Royal Guardswoman for Sakisama. Sick of failure and feeling weak, Misao gave up the mask so she could learn to become strong under Sakisama. Say what you want about her mysterious methods, Sakisama has gotten results from every woman who joined her side. Since Misao’s transformation in March, her personality completely changed along with her win-loss record. The NEO Biishiki-gun team have been nigh on unbeatable and have held the Princess Tag Team Titles for almost 5 months. Along the way they picked on those they feel are below them. Sure that’s everybody but the two most who have received the brunt of it are Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe. In fact this whole storyline began when Misao betrayed Tatsumi during a failed attempt to rescue Watanabe from Sakisama’s attacks. It all comes full circle with Tatsumi & Watanabe joining forces. Tatsumi believes that deep, deep down Hyper Misao is still alive and the evil version of Misao is only a cover. Misao has resisted all attempts to bring back the hero but maybe losing the tag titles could make her snap out of it.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 4 Way Hardcore Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Akito & Shunma Katsumata Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo Vs Minoru Fujita & Daiki Shimomura

Four teams charging into a chaotic Hardcore Match for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. The DAMNATION duo of Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao are currently having the most successful KO-D Tag Title run in years. They are one win away from tying the record for the second most title defences. They most recently defended the belts against ALL OUT so they already have a win over Akito. The difference here is this time Akito is teaming with Shunma Katsumata and he is the closest thing to a hardcore wrestler in the group. BASARA provides the two other teams. The IRON PRIEST team of FUMA & Yusuke Kubo are possibly the biggest threat to the champs. They regularly wrestle the hardcore style and also hold the brand new IRON FIST TAG Titles. A double crown tag championship is in their sights. Minoru Fujita & Daiki Shimomura are also into hardcore wrestling and want to win the belts for Sento Minzoku. The winners won’t have much time to recover. The next KO-D Tag Title defence will be in a week when the champions take on The Calamari Drunken Kings.

8. Union MAX Title: Ryuichi Sekine (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

On paper this looks like a match between BASARA and DDT but it is anything but. Ryuichi Sekine has been confidently holding his own as the Union MAX Champion ever since he won it back in May. He has earned the respect of the BASARA roster so who could he defend the belt against next? Out comes Masahiro Takanashi. The DDT wrestler said he wanted to take a different direction when he turned down the offer to compete in the D-Ou Grand Prix again. It turns out he wants to fight a strong champion in a match where both men are wrestling for themselves, not their companies. Takanashi will be on his own and Sekine won’t have the other members of Sento Minzoku getting involved. Only the strongest will leave Sumo Hall with the MAX Title.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuka Sakazaki

Two of the most important figures in Tokyo Joshi’s existence face off for the big prize. The third one is a bit busy but we’ll get to her later. When Shoko Nakajima won the (TOKYO) Princess Of Princess Title in May, it begun the reign of the BIG KAIJU! With the belt getting redesigned, every defence has felt to her like she won the title again for the first time. Thunder Rosa compacting her spine on the ring apron couldn’t stop her, Mizuki’s Double Stomps coulddn’t stop her and Misao’s newfound strength couldn’t stop her. It might take a miracle to beat her. Or a comedian. How about a Miraclian? Well we’ll find out because Nakajima chose Yuka Sakazaki to be her opponent at Sumo Hall!

Sakazaki has gone through some highs and lows during the summer. She lost the Princess Tag Titles but charmed a brand new audience overseas with her appearances in All Elite Wrestling. Her and Nakajima have been testing just how much they have both leveled up in tag matches over the last month. Evenly matched, the champion and the challenger are ready to show everybody the best of Tokyo Joshi!

10. Souken Holdings Presents Dramatic Dream Match: Kenny Omega & Riho Vs Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita

And now we get to the big draw of the show. It’s the DDT return of Riho!

(featuring Kenny Omega)

It’s been five years since Omega said his goodbyes and left DDT for greener pastures. A new generation grew up in DDT while he worked his magic in New Japan and turned the wrestling world upside down. Now representing AEW, the doors opened for a return to his original Japanese home. A match at Sumo Hall was certain but Omega had requests for the other participants. He wanted Riho to be his tag team partner. Riho was the first person Omega ever established a tag team with in Japan (before “Him”). The opposition picked were Antonio Honda because Omega thinks of him as one of his biggest rivals and Miyu Yamashita because he wants to see for himself how talented she is. I’m not saying AEW is in her future but I find it hard to believe she will be left out after Nakajima and Sakazaki wrestled there. Both teams have had practice matches away from each other. Omega & Riho reconnected fine but Honda & Yamashita took a few tries. Yamashita couldn’t understand Honda’s Gongitsune trick and kept believing his fake injuries. Eventually they found their groove but will it be enough to beat the AEW side?

11. BLACK OUT Presents KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Konosuke Takeshita (K/c) Vs HARASHIMA (E/c)

And after all of that we reach the main event. The current ace of DDT against the previous ace with two championships on the line. Konosuke Takeshita had a rollercoaster run with the KO-D Openweight Title this year. He won it at Sumo Hall in February, lost it in New York two months later then regained it at Ota Ward Gymnasium in July. Since then he has had successful defences against Chris Brookes and Shinya Aoki to show that his style is the one that best represents DDT. The only way he can prove this further is to win the DDT Extreme Title.

HARASHIMA came into play when he, Tetsuya Endo and Jiro Kuroshio got into a 3 Way feud over that championship in the autumn. HARASHIMA pinned both of his opponents in a Survival 3 Way Match to win the title and cement his spot in the Sumo Hall main event. He still feels the sting of Takeshita beating him for the KO-D Title in Saitama Super Arena two years ago. Even worse is he still feels the sting in his back that Takeshita’s been giving him all month long. The Walls Of Takeshita has been used plenty of times to weaken and defeat HARASHIMA. He has lost matches both by having DISASTER BOX throw in the towel as well as outright tapping out to the hold. Takeshita meanwhile feels like he is in perfect condition going into the match. But despite his opponent being hurt, Takeshita knows that HARASHIMA is at his best after he has been defeated. Training doesn’t make him stronger, in fact it is losing. Whoever the strongest really is they will be leaving Sumo Hall a double champion!

7b. Shoko Nakajima pinned Yuka Sakazaki with the Diving Senton (12:12).

We are one week away from DDT hosting an Ultimate Party at Sumo Hall! Today’s show in Korakuen Hall was a massive preview of next week’s show with plenty of mixed matches between the DDT brands. The main event showed this off the most as some of the top names in DDT, BASARA, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Wrestling took part in a Best 2 out of 3 Falls match. Despite the 6-Man Tag layout, the focus was split between Konosuke Takeshita Vs HARASHIMA, Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuka Sakazaki and Ken Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka. The first fall went to Kodaka’s team when he cut off Ohka’s Fire Spear with a Knee Strike and then pinned him with a Modified Samson Clutch.

Kodaka went for the same move again at the start of the 2nd fall but this time Ohka kicked out. It was here when the match-ups started to get more diverse. Nakajima and Kodaka fought each other and Takeshita wiped out Sakazaki with the Fable. Takeshita placed HARASHIMA in the Walls Of Takeshita by the ropes while Nakajima pinned Sakazaki with the Diving Senton to tie the match 1-1.

The final fall had HARASHIMA’s team all put their opponents in a Cobra Twist at the same time. Ohka was sent out of the ring and one by one Kodaka, Nakajima and Sakazaki dove onto everyone below. That left Takeshita and HARASHIMA alone in the ring. HARASHIMA hit the Somato but Takeshita rolled it into the Walls Of Takeshita! Sensing a repeat of Osaka two weeks ago, Naomi Yoshimura tried to throw in the towel. However this time Toru Owashi prevented that from happening and wanted HARASHIMA to keep fighting. Unfortunately HARASHIMA had no choice but to give up, making Takeshita’s team the ultimate winners.

When HARASHIMA was taken out of the ring, Takeshita had a message for him. It is not training that makes HARASHIMA stronger, it is losing. So at Sumo Hall Takeshita will be waiting for a HARASHIMA that is stronger than he was today. Even so, Takeshita will still beat him next week. He thanked Ohka and Nakajima for their help today. He wants everyone to know that it was no exaggeration that he won today because of Ohka. He ended his victory speech by saying all of the brands will bring their best to Sumo Hall!

Chris Brookes is back in DDT and with Masahiro Takanashi has quickly claimed No. 1 Contendership for the KO-D Tag Team Titles! Their opponents Nautilus had their own sick tag moves up their sleeves. Yoshimura blocked a Cutter from Brookes and held him over the ropes for Yuki Ueno to hit a Flying Body Press. Takanashi stopped the pin and gave Ueno the Takatonic. Ueno was then finished off with a Thrust Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb combo. CDK will now wait to see who comes out of Sumo Hall as the tag champs. Takanashi wants CDK to become the strongest tag team in DDT history!

The normally cheerful Jiro Kuroshio was thrown off his game when Tetsuya Endo found a way to stop his never ending entrance. When Kuroshio ran and posed through the crowds, Endo decided to start doing flips and other acrobatic feats inside the ring to take the attention away from his opponent. Kuroshio attacked Endo when the chants of “Endo” drowned out the “Ikemen” chants. While Kuroshio did pull off some fancy moves, he was more aggressive than normal against Endo and he even flipped off the crowd! Endo turned the tables with a Swan Dive Elbow then used the Tetsuya In The Sky, the Torture Rack Bomb and finally the Shooting Star Press to pick up the win.

Endo admitted he feels sad that they can’t have a rematch since Kuroshio is moving to America next year. Kuroshio said he really wanted to win but he still had fun. He doesn’t know when they will wrestle again but their generation will continue to create exciting wrestling! The two shook hands to end their feud.

The Hardcore 4 Way was a violent preview for next week’s KO-D Tag Titles match. Daiki Shimomura and FUMA brought out the weapons, Daisuke Sasaki easily went along with it and Akito tried to adapt as best he could. Shimomura and FUMA hit each other over the head with steel cans loads of times. They also unintentionally worked together by hitting a Shiranui/Power Bomb combo on Akito in the corner. Sasaki Speared Shimomura out of the ring and through a table. FUMA took out Sasaki with a Brainbuster from the top of a ladder. Akito played it clever by using a chair to hook FUMA into a cradled pin but FUMA was able to kick out of it. FUMA then threw Akito onto a ladder with an Exploder Suplex and got the win with the HEAVY METAL ANTHEM with a bunch of chairs included.

FUMA chanted “Heavy Metal!” after the match but was interrupted by Shunma Katsumata. FUMA immediately attacked Katsumata with a chairshot and told everyone he will become a Double Crown Tag Team champion at Sumo Hall!

Yukio Sakaguchi and Shuichiro Katsumura kept targeting each other throughout Match #3. Katsumura used a Ninja Choke to roll Sakaguchi out of the ring while Hiroshi Yamato got the victory over Mizuki Watase. After the match Katsumura provoked Sakaguchi to get back into the ring. The two face off but Sakaguchi pulled back and the situation cooled down. Yamato said it was easy to team with Katsumura today because their goals for Sumo Hall next week overlap. Sakaguchi only said he will get his rematch with Katsumura in the Gauntlet Tag.

The first time team of Yukio Naya & Cody Hall got off to a good start. They got rid of Soma Takao with a Double Choke Slam then Naya pinned Mad Paulie with the Back Drop. They think they have started off strong but want to deliver an even bigger impact at the Gauntlet Tag in Sumo Hall next week.

A rule was added to the 10-Man Tag Match where a rugby ball was thrown into play. Instead of tagging in and out, whoever held the rugby ball would be the legal participant. What followed was all of the wrestlers attempting to play rugby in between fighting each other. Yuki Iino accidentally rugby tackled Danshoku Dieno which led to Makoto Oishi diving on top of Dieno to score a try and also the pinfall.

The pre-show match involved Keigo Nakamura getting his first official wrestling bout inside Korakuen Hall. He put forth a good effort against Nobuhiro Shimatani by getting a nearfall with a Moonsault and hitting some High Kicks. But Shimatani stopped Nakamura’s momentum with a Dropkick and pinned him with the Fisherman Buster.

A fight broke out between Ken Ohka and Takato Nakano at Wednesday’s press conference for Sumo Hall. When the participants for the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles match got together, Urano bragged that Nakano could beat Ohka easily. Ohka took offence and challenged Nakano to a match. When it was accepted the two began fighting until Urano kicked Ohka with a Low Blow.

The four entries in the Bakuha Koshien tournament are now known. Asuka, Yukio Naya, FUMA and Yumehito Imanari have all thrown their names into the hat. Imanari remembers being a high school student when he first saw Atsushi Onita wrestle live. When he was about to take his exams he even contacted Onita for advice via e-mail and received a response. Imanari thanks both Onita and Takagi for making him a pro wrestler, one who will help build the new era of Current Blast death matches! Asuka has already done Hardcore and Death Match wrestling so she is looking forward to doing Current Blast matches. Naya says it has been half a year since he signed with DDT. He wants to break out of his shell and fight under his own will. FUMA was not around to give any comments.

The show is being sponsored by Ene One, an electric power company.

DDT “SHINSHU CHASHU MINANOSHU 2019”, 22/10/2019
Nagano Art Center Act Space
209 Fans

1. Shunma Katsumata defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Moonsault Press (7:09).

5e. Kazuki Hirata eliminated MAO with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (12:01).
6. DDT Nagano Sales Manager, Toru Owashi (Free) Local Triumph! 20th Anniversary Of Pre-Debut! “Owashi And Funny Friends Part 6” Special Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Jiro Kuroshio defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Owashi pinned Shimatani with the Nodowa Otoshi (12:56).
7. ALL OUT Vs DISASTER BOX!: Konosuke Takeshita & Akito defeated HARASHIMA & Yuki Ueno when Takeshita submitted Ueno with the Walls Of Takeshita (18:48).

Konosuke Takeshita countered Yuki Ueno’s Hurricanrana into the Walls Of Takeshita for the finish. HARASHIMA was unable to help because Akito trapped him in an Ankle Lock outside the ring. Takeshita thanked everyone for coming to the show. DDT had decided to go ahead with holding the event when the typhoon in the region cleared. Takeshita said he looks forward to seeing everyone in good spirits again the next time DDT returns to Nagano.

Toru Owashi found a snake patterned jacket to wear while teaming with Jiro Kuroshio. He had it stripped off him by Tetsuya Endo when he pulled Owashi out of the ring. Owashi was still able to win the match without the jacket. Owashi said that everybody in Nagano is working together to repair the area after the typhoon hit. He also told Kuroshio to call him whenever he wants help from another ikemen.

Before MAO travels to the UK tomorrow he put together his last match in DDT featuring a whole list of rules and stipulations to be followed. It begun as a Scramble Bunkhouse match where both teams raced to the ring to get the Hirata GO! Glasses. It was No DQ so chairs were used as weapons. It was also a TLC match but the T stood for Tongs. It was an Elimination Tag Match so throwing wrestlers over the top rope to the floor was an option to get rid of wrestlers. That was how Yuki Iino and Antonio Honda were eliminated. Two count pinfalls meant that Makoto Oishi and Asuka were easily pinned. MAO cleverly used a chair to tangle up Asuka while she was dancing in order to pin her. The 2 Count Fall then backfired when Kazuki Hirata rolled MAO up in the Miracle One Shot Cradle. MAO said he was able to do a match he can’t have in the UK before he leaves. So he will take this spirit with him to Britain.

This past weekend at the BOYZ show, Danshoku Dieno found a toy dog to “lick” people in the audience with during his entrance. He brought it back with him today. He also had a bit of trouble teaming with Hiroshi Yamato because he doesn’t find him cute. Yamato gave Dieno the Lip Lock to prove he is cute enough for him. Yamato then put himself in the Hell Gate position on the turnbuckles. Dieno pushed Masahiro Takanashi’s face into Yamato’s backside and went for the Danshoku Driver but Saki Akai rolled him up from behind with a School Boy. The momentum rolled Takanashi over and on top of Dieno for an unintentional assisted Jackknife pin.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) defeated Akito & Yuki Iino when Sasaki submitted Iino with the Cross Facelock (14:35).
*V7 for DAMNATION.
7. DDT Extreme Title – Survival 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Jiro Kuroshio (c) and Tetsuya Endo (20:01).
7a. HARASHIMA eliminated Jiro Kuroshio with the Somato (15:10).
7b. HARASHIMA eliminated Tetsuya Endo with the Somato (20:01).
*Jiro Kuroshio fails in V2. HARASHIMA becomes the 47th DDT Extreme Champion!

The stage is now set for DDT’s Ultimate Party in Sumo Hall this November. HARASHIMA was the last man standing in the Survival 3 Way match, eliminating both Jiro Kuroshio and Tetsuya Endo to win the DDT Extreme Title! Kuroshio was the first man eliminated when the numbers game overwhelmed him. He blocked Endo’s Shooting Star Press and dropped him with the Implant. But when he pinned Endo it left him vulnerable for HARASHIMA to hit him with the Somato. Everyone was surprised to see the champion eliminated first! Endo went into full on attack mode against HARASHIMA but after weeks of insults, HARASHIMA finally proved he can still beat Endo when he pinned him with the Somato.

HARASHIMA thanked the fans for their support because they are the reason he won today. He told Kuroshio it is okay if he is going to America or if he is staying in Japan. He’ll always be waiting to see him again. Konosuke Takeshita was then brought down from the broadcast table to confirm the main event for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” is between him and HARASHIMA for both the KO-D Openweight Title and the DDT Extreme Title. Takeshita said he is surprised to face HARASHIMA again. He beat him for the KO-D Title in Saitama Super Arena two years ago which was when the previous era of DDT moved towards the current era. HARASHIMA told Takeshita that he has never forgotten that match. He knows Takeshita is both young and in perfect physical condition but he can still stand against him! He ended by saying all of the DDT brands will gather together at Sumo Hall to deliver a great show.

The power of rugby was on ALL OUT’s side especially since this show was happening the day after Japan defeated Ireland in the Rugby World Cup (Editor’s note: boo!). Yuki Iino entered the ring in almost full rugby gear taken from the No Side Game TV drama he worked on. But Daisuke Sasaki was in the same mindset and when the bell rang he rugby tackled Iino! Sasaki attacked him with chairs until Iino stopped him with his own rugby tackle Spear. However Iino’s rugby tactics backfired when he missed another Spear and tackled Daisuke Kiso by accident. Soma Takao blinded Iino with red Mist and sent him Spearing Akito out of the match. Takao dropped Iino with the Gin And Tonic then Sasaki applied the Cross Facelock. Iino tried to fight out by summoning power from his rugby ball but he eventually tapped out.

Sasaki yelled that just because Japan defeated Ireland in rugby doesn’t mean that Iino could beat DAMNATION in pro wrestling! He called out for any new team to challenge them. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo from BASARA came out. Sasaki asked if they were at the show. FUMA said that the BASARA roster has a plan to win all of DDT’s championships before BASARA splits off and becomes independent. FUMA challenged DAMNATION and also demanded it to be a Hardcore Match! Before Sasaki could answer, two men walked out wearing bags over their heads. They pulled the bags off to reveal it was Minoru Fujita & Daiki Shimomura! They like the idea of a Hardcore Match and asked to make it a 3 Way Tag. Shunma Katsumata then got in the ring and said he should be in the match because he is DDT’s hardcore wrestler! Akito agreed to be his tag partner because he wants to wrestle the BASARA guys. Sasaki accepted all of the challenges so the KO-D Tag Team Titles are being defended in a Hardcore 4 Way Tag Match at Sumo Hall!

Takeshita went into his match against Asuka with his lower back heavily taped up. Two days before the show he suffered a back injury from weightlifting. It effected his performance with limited movement after leap frogs and back pain preventing him from doing the German Suplex. Asuka took advantage but couldn’t beat Takeshita with the Swinging Choke Slam. Takeshita blocked the Moonsault with his knees and countered a cradle with one of his own for a flash three count on Asuka. The result left Asuka annoyed because she went into the match without any injuries and couldn’t beat a less than 100% Takeshita.

You’re never too old to succeed. Just ask Gorgeous Matsuno. At first things were going badly for him against Sanshiro Takagi. He missed the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow and had his left arm targeted from there. Matsuno would have chances to turn the tables but kept missing his signature Elbow Drop. Desperate, Matsuno took out powder and threw it. Unfortunately he didn’t realise that Daisuke Kiso was standing in front of him, not Takagi. With the ref blind, Takagi brought in chairs and plastic boxes to use as weapons. He lifted Matsuno up for the Himawari Bomb but something unexpected happened. Matsuno countered it into a Frankensteiner that sent Takagi crashing into the cases. Matsuno then rolled up Takagi into the School Boy and won the match! The new O-40 Champion told everyone he never gave up on his dream even at 58 years old. But today is not the end of his story. Matsuno’s dream will continue and he wants to share his dreams, courage and energy with everybody!

Cody Hall and Yukio Naya continue to be at each other’s throats, targeting each other in the 4 Way Tag. There was no such problems between Hiroshi Yamato & Mad Paulie. Paulie watched on while Yamato sang his way down to the ring. Antonio Honda tricked Naomi Yoshimura into hitting Yuki Ueno with a Lariat. Hall then picked up the pieces and beat Ueno with the Thunder Buster. Naya tried to get back in the ring to continue fighting Hall but Makoto Oishi held him back on the apron.

Masahiro Takanashi pinned Mizuki Watase to win his tag match with MAO but his thoughts are entirely on Sumo Hall. He challenges Ryuichi Sekine for the Union MAX Title at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” and he isn’t happy that Sekine referred to him under his old ring name Masa Takanashi. Takanashi thinks that means Sekine has only seen him in DDT and is not aware of his work on the independent scene. He will teach Sekine who Masahiro Takanashi really is!

The mysterious letter that was sent to the DDT office during the week left some of the roster spooked. The wrestlers in the opening match gathered together in the locker room before the show to receive amulets that would protect them from any supernatural threats. Everyone except for Kazuki Hirata. He didn’t believe there was anything to worry about. But when the first match took place and Hirata wore his Hirata GO! glasses, his music was replaced with cries of “Help me…” The demon Saki emerged and entered the ring. She bit Hirata on the shoulder causing the match to get called off. Saki then chased everyone out of the ring and a message appeared on the screen saying “Let’s play a game…”

There was no waiting until Sumo Hall to get an inter-brand match. Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Takato Nakano in a DDT Vs BASARA pre-show match. Nakano was angry he lost after recently becoming one third of the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Shimatani on the other hand is now so confident, he wants to fight Isami Kodaka!

Trainee Keigo Nakamura was given exciting news to start the show. He will have his official debut match on 19th October! Naomi Yoshimura will be his opponent but Yoshimura wasn’t impressed by Nakamura’s size. He thinks Nakamura can’t fight him with such a skinny body. Yoshimura placed down a weighing scale and got Nakamura to weigh himself. He weighs 72kg. Actually it was 71.1kg and that was with Nakamura wearing clothes. Yoshimura told Nakamura to reach 75kg before their match.

Kazusada Higuchi gave an update on his PCL injury. He is out of action for the rest of the year and will do his best to rehabilitate and return next year.

The final part of the show was a video message from Kenny Omega promoting his match with Riho against Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita at Sumo Hall. Omega said he is nervous about the match but also looking forward to it.

The D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 competitors are Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA, Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo, Some Takao, Yukio Sakaguchi, Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuki Iino, Keisuke Ishii, Bull James, Chris Brookes, Masato Tanaka and Chihiro Hashimoto!

The KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles (remember them?) have been vacated because the champions have not defended the belts since November 2017. New champions will be crowned at Sumo Hall in a match between teams captained by Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine.

September 23, 2019

DDT “A MAN OVERCAME NUMEROUS HARDSHIPS AND REACHED THE LAND OF FUKUSHIMA! 2019”, 23/09/2019
Fukushima Will Convention Hall A
156 Fans

2. Masahiro Takanashi defeated Makoto Oishi with an Armbar (8:10).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sakaguchi submitted Hirata with an Ankle Hold (0:01).
3a. Rematch: Yukio Sakaguchi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sakaguchi pinned Hirata with a Single Kick (8:50).
4. HARASHIMA defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Somato (8:13).
5. Naomi Yoshimura defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Lariat (7:29).
6. Gorgeous Matsuno Marunage Match ~Osaki, Shiroishi & Fukushima~ Tohoku Three Musketeers 3 Way Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated MAO and Gorgeous Matsuno when Endo pinned Matsuno with a School Boy (0:11).
6a. Rematch: Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Tetsuya Endo and MAO by Diaqualification when Endo and MAO both did a Weapon Attack on Matsuno (6:50).
7. ALL OUT Vs DAMNATION!: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie when Iino pinned Sasaki with the Spear (16:30).

Yuki Iino has finished his TV work and immediately made an impact by pinning Daisuke Sasaki in his return match! Akito called Iino the hero of today’s show and he is really glad that Iino won.

Gorgeous Matsuno was so excited to begin the 3 Way Match he booked with Tetsuya Endo and MAO. Then the bell rang and Endo pinned him in 11 seconds. Matsuno asked for a rematch otherwise everyone who came to see the show would be disappointed. The match restarted but went pear shaped when Yukinori Matsui got knocked out. Matsuno brought in chairs to use. When Endo and MAO grabbed the chairs, Matsuno stopped them with Flying Cross Chops into the chairs. Matsuno hurt his hands but when Matsui got back up, he saw Matsuno hurt with his opponents standing next to him holding up chairs. Matsui disqualified Endo and MAO meaning Matsuno was the winner! After the match Matsuno told everyone about the trouble he had getting to the venue from a cancelled flight to a delayed train to the venue. But no matter what happens to Matsuno, he will always stand up and push forward!

HARASHIMA also complimented Matsuno for his dedication to travel for shows no matter how bad the weather is.

Kazuki Hirata said today was his God given chance to crush Yukio Sakaguchi! He instantly tapped out to an Anklelock. Sakaguchi later pinned Hirata in the rematch.

Makoto Oishi learned that Masahiro Takanashi was going into their match with injured knees that he suffered while wrestling in Thailand recently. However Takanashi learned that Oishi injured both of his arms when he slipped in a shower after the Campsite Pro Wrestling match. The injuries played a big role in their match, both as targets and as something that hampered them. Oishi put Takanashi in an Indian Deathlock but Takanashi latched on an Arm Lock in return until the bell rang. There was confusion over the result but Matsui ruled that Oishi gave up first, making Takanashi the winner.

Cody Hall and Yukio Naya confronted each other after the opener.

A couple of matches were moved around due to delayed arrivals during typhoon weather.

Makoto Oishi’s local return was spoiled by Tetsuya Endo’s Yurikamome Hold. Afterwards Endo mocked HARASHIMA’s usual post-match promos, predicting that HARASHIMA will blame a DAMNATION ambush that happened before the bell. Endo said it is just another week of HARASHIMA thinking of excuses for losing to him. Daisuke Sasaki interrupted Endo’s promo to ask if anyone knew the result of the New Zealand Vs South Africa match happening in the Rugby World Cup. He then said he doesn’t care about rugby.

The 3 Way match mostly focused on Konosuke Takeshita and Asuka which made Kazuki Hirata feel like the awkward third wheel. Asuka got rid of Takeshita with a German Suplex and won with a Swinging Choke Slam on Hirata. Takeshita told Asuka afterwards that their first match together was a tag with four in it, then today was a 3 Way. All that is left is them to fight one on one and he is looking forward to it.

The planned Daisuke Kiso Marunage match was postponed and will be held on a future show. Toru Owashi asked for the match to be a Lucha Libre Rules tag match instead. Shunma Katsumata and MAO both declined but Kiso granted it. Owashi got the pin but admitted that Naomi Yoshimura did most of the work. Yoshimura asked everyone to support their kind of lucha.

Yukio Sakaguchi went for the God’s Right Knee but Soma Takao dodged it and Yukio Naya took the hit instead. Mad Paulie took advantage and pinned Naya with the Reverse Splash.

0. Exhibition Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Texas Clover Hold (6:21).
1. Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Makoto Oishi, Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Yumehito Imanari and Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa when Kodaka pinned Ueno with the Diving Double Knee Drop from the cliff into the trout pond (83:09).

Bad weather postponed the original date of the match but other than that nothing stops Campsite Pro Wrestling!

Before the advertised match began, an exhibition took place with the trainee Keigo Nakamura taking on Shunma Katsumata. The match stayed in and around the gym mats representing the ring. Katsumata won with a Texas Cloverleaf then sang “Going my ωay!!!!!～You Are Not Alone” over a megaphone.

After a performance of the Japanese national anthem, it was time for the big match to begin! The Ganbare☆Wrestling team were led by Ken Ohka wearing a gas mask. Cat’s Pye all entered standing on the back of a truck. The BASARA team looked ready to go until Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi went to the ground and laid himself out flat. Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno were all dressed in military gear as if they were about to enter a survival Battle Royal game. The other DDT team were just in their regular wrestling gear and were by default the most normal team involved.

Things got off to an odd start when FUMA chased after opponents with nunchucks while Hiroshi began doing yoga stretches. Others liked what they saw and decided to join in. Yuki Kamifuku then tried to attract everyone’s attention with her modelling poses.

Ohka had enough and went in search of another area of the park. He ended up falling into a trout pond.

Everyone came across a pitched tent. Yumehito Imanari opened it up to look inside and found Cody Hall! An angry Hall attacked Imanari and a few others for disturbing his camping experience. He wouldn’t attack the women though and they were grateful to him because of it. He went back into his tent and the wrestlers moved elsewhere.

HARASHIMA and Isami Kodaka pushed Ueno inbetween some trees until he got stuck. HARASHIMA then scared Ueno by placing bugs on him.

All three women on Cat’s Pye climbed onto the roof of a nearby shack. They all encouraged each other to dive off onto everyone below. Only Mina Shirakawa went through with it. Kamifuku & Yuna Manase tricked her into jumping by saying they would all go together. They just stayed in place when Shirakawa jumped.

A large chain of wrestling holds between everyone took them up a hill where Hiroshi and Antonio Honda were seen meditating together. Hiroshi led everyone in a stretching exercise then demanded 3,500 yen from each person for the class fee.

FUMA found another tent and threatened whoever was inside to come out. It was SAGAT! He was supposed to be in the match on the original date but went ill with the flu. Now that it was postponed until today, he got recovered but never got invited back! He attacked his supposed teammates Kodaka & FUMA. They retaliated by burning down his tent!

The match went through a new route and Imanari found somewhere familiar. It was the hut he hid in during last year’s match when everybody shot fireworks at him! He told everyone it was his house and tried to step in. Unfortunately for him it was already occupied by Cody Hall! He threatened Imanari but calmed down when he saw Shirakawa, picking up a flower for her.

With everybody paying attention to Hall, Imanari took Manase hostage and hid inside the hut. He threatened to start filming movies of Manase but everybody shot fireworks at them until he let her go.

MAO and HARASHIMA fought by a small waterfall and both tried to down each other in it. Ueno and FUMA fought on top of a roof with Kodaka shooting fireworks at them. Ueno finally had enough and climbed down to the ground. It was here where he found something shocking.

Ueno saw a fence in the distance where both Kamifuku and Shirakawa were found strangled to death with nooses! Ueno asked who could have done such a thing. Imanari suddenly turned detective and found pieces of the girls’ costumes in Ueno’s pocket. Ueno grabbed Imanari and tried to strangle him. Imanari was rescued when Makoto Oishi struck Ueno over the head with a rock.

Oishi then went over to Kamifuku and Shirakawa and tried to revive them. They woke up, yelled “We’re zombies!” then chased after him.

MAO successfully used his gilly suit to hide away from the action and ambush Kodaka.

FUMA jumped off a tree to put Imanari through a table.

MAO used his gilly suit again to scare Keisuke Ishii off the roof of a hut. He then Moonsaulted onto everyone.

The match moved back to the starting area where the BASARA team continued to shoot fireworks at their opponents. Ohka & Imanari fought back by spraying fire extinguishers at them.

Imanari found the truck that Cat’s Pye entered in. He wanted to drive it but found out Cody Hall was in the driver’s seat! Hall attacked Imanari while Ohka got in the truck and drove into his opponents.

The truck was stopped single handedly by Takeshita. He stopped the truck in its tracks and even pushed it backwards.

Ishii attacked Takeshita and held him in front of the pond. Ohka charged over to do the Flame Spear but Takeshita got out of the way and Ohka plunged into the pond.

One by one everyone got thrown or slammed into the pond. It ended with Kodaka jumping off a cliff and hitting the Diving Double Knee Drop onto everyone in the pond below. He pinned Ueno in the water to give Team BASARA the victory after one hour and twenty minutes!

Kodaka said that this might be his last Campsite Match because BASARA will be leaving the DDT family soon. If it is then he is glad to have been rewarded with the win today. Meanwhile MAO found a gun that shot fireworks and fired it at the trainees for everyone’s entertainment. SAGAT tried to stop him with the Goregrind but MAO jumped out of the way. SAGAT landed in the campfire, again for everyone’s entertainment.
