1. Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI Vs Hoshitango & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Masa Takanashi Vs Ryota Nakatsu
3. Akito Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
4. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
5. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda
6. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

For those keeping track the current Right To Challenge Contracts holders are Daisuke Sasaki (he has two), DJ Nira, KUDO and Kazusada Higuchi.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN YAMAGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON’NYAKU~”, 06/05/2015
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs MIKAMI & Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Hoshitango Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu
4. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Gorgeous Matsuno
5. Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita
6. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

With 5 contracts in play surely one of them can beat HARASHIMA to win the KO-D Openweight Title.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. Different Life ~Sound Of Impermanence~: Danshoku Dino Vs Jinsei Shinzaki
2. DDT Extreme Title – Last Man Standing Match: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

We’re getting close to HARASHIMA holding a bunch of DDT championships at the same time again.

The Last Man Standing Match will be pinfall rules. The 10 count only begins after a wrestler is pinned for a three count or gives up from a submission hold.

For the past month Danshoku Dino has been on a pilgrimage to rediscover Danshoku Life. His journey has been relatively peaceful and without danger. But when Dino found out he will be facing Jinsei Shinzaki next his calm demeanour began to fade and he was left shaking in fear. This will be the first big test of his pilgrimage.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015”, 31/05/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs KUDO

If KUDO still has his Right To Challenge Contract he will cash in at this Korakuen Hall show.


Max Bump & Golden Union Cards, Upcoming Title Matches, Goodbye Teisen

April 22, 2015

DDT “MAX BUMP 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki
1. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. BOYZ Vs YaroZ Final Match: Makoto Oishi, Akito, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & X
3. Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal: Danshoku Dino Vs MIKAMI Vs Yasu Urano Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hoshitango Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs DJ Nira
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

So two of the wrestlers fighting over the last Right To Challenge Contract already have contracts. That’s a little unfair. I assume Hiroshi Fukuda’s and Yasu Urano’s contracts will be safe if they are just eliminated by ring out.

Yamagata Big Wing

1. Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita
2. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

I’m assuming the KO-D Openweight Champion, if it’s either Kota Ibushi or HARASHIMA will be on all three shows on the week beginning 4th May. Maybe a Right To Challenge cash in can take place here?

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Akito has picked Shigehiro Irie to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. It means a lot for Irie to get the title shot in Nagoya where he wrestled for several years before joining DDT.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The DNA stand out Kazusada Higuchi has made it public that he will cash in his Right To Challenge Contract in his home prefecture of Hokkaido. All he has to do is not lose it until then. He’s on the right track because he has yet to drop a fall in his young pro wrestling career.

Saki Akai and Tomoya will wrestle on the show.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: X Vs X

Sapporo Teisen Hall will be closing down in June. The venue has been a popular destination for indie wrestling with DDT and Big Japan among others hosting shows whenever they were in Sapporo. Apparently Big Japan will hold the final wrestling show in the building but before that DDT will say goodbye with a double show in May.

DDT “AOBA CASTLE LOVE SONG IN SENDAI 2014”, 23/11/2014
Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall
396 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Lucha Libre Rules: KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Toru Owashi, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Michael Nakazawa when KUDO pinned Nakazawa with the Diving Double Knee Drop (10:51).

*V3 for Akito.
6. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Irie pinned Urano with the Beast Bomber (18:29).

In their last skirmish before their KO-D Openweight Title match next week, Soma Takao was on the winning side instead of HARASHIMA. Takao held the champion down while Shigehiro Irie landed the match winning Beast Bomber on Yasu Urano. Soma said he will make sure he will be the person to beat HARASHIMA for the title.

Akito holds an even tighter grip on the DDT Extreme Title after beating MIKAMI in a Catch Wrestling Match. Both went hold for hold over five rounds and despite MIKAMI dominating early, Akito’s focus on attcking the ankle paid off. The audience’s response to the match was positive and Akito said it was an amazing experience. DDT needs variety and Akito said he his offering it with his technical matches.

Kota Ibushi took it easy on Gorgeous Matsuno, beating him with a gentle, kneeling Last Ride Power Bomb.

Tetsuya Endo left a big message for Makoto Oishi after he pinned him with the Sky Twister Press. Endo told Oishi that the KO-D Tag Team Titles have passed him by.

Sanshiro Takagi pulled out of the show after he fractured his right heel at the “WRESTLING CANNONBALL IN OFUNATO” show earlier in the week. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi came in as Takagi’s replacement. Takagi introduced him as a “Lucha Teacher” so the match took place under Lucha Libre Rules.
