July 1, 2018

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM DEBASAKI~”, 01/07/2018
Nagoya City Rokushima Sports Center
271 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Takatimo Dragon, Washitimo Dragon & Hiratimo Dragon (w/ Robitimo Dragon) defeated Antonio Honda, Kouki Iwasaki & Saki Akai by Disqualification when Honda unmasked Hiratimo (10:29).
2. KUDO & Keisuke Ishii defeated Yuki Ueno & Yuki Iino when KUDO pinned Iino with the Backspin Kick (8:36).
3. Soma Takao defeated Masahiro Takanashi with the Gin And Tonic (9:59).
4. 3 Way Match: Sammy Guevara defeated Konosuke Takeshita and Daiki Shimomura when Guevara pinned Shimomura with a Thrust Kick (8:29).
5. Akito & Shunma Katsumata defeated Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Katsumata pinned Oishi with the ¡Hasta la vista! (10:59).
6. Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Kota Umeda & MAO when Endo pinned MAO with the Tetsuya In The Sky (17:08).
7. Nagoya Specialty! Doerya Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase when HARASHIMA pinned Watase with the Somato (14:06).

HARASHIMA told the crowd he was glad to be back in Nagoya for the first time in five months. He promised when DDT returns to Nagoya later in the year he will be carrying loads of championship belts for them! He is certain he will beat Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title.

DAMNATION were in a bit of peril when Kazusada Higuchi found a devastating way to block Tetsuya Endo from Moonsaulting off of Mad Paulie’s back. Higuchi grabbed Endo by the throat and Choke Slammed him on top of Paulie! However Endo recovered and caught MAO with the Tetsuya In The Sky to get the win. Endo thinks MAO doesn’t deserve to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles since he pinned him today. MAO says today he lost to DAMNATION but that doesn’t mean he lost to Endo & Paulie. The champions won’t be able to beat MAO & Mike Bailey when the titles are on the line!

Shunma Katsumata purposefully sacrificed Akito to Danshoku Dieno’s whims so he could finish off Makoto Oishi. He didn’t anticipate Dieno sneaking up on him from behind after the match though. Dieno gave him the Lip Lock and chased him out of the ring. Akito had the last laugh.

A big Thrust Kick from Sammy Guevara caught Daiki Shimomura in midair to end the 3 Way Match with Konosuke Takeshita.

Since Nagoya is the birthplace of the Timo Timo Timo Dragons, they decided to surprise everyone by bringing out the latest member of the unit. Robitimo Dragon looks a lot like Ultraman Robin wearing an Ultimo Dragon mask. He helped out the team by interfering in the match. All of the Dragons including Robitimo were accidentally unmasked during a multi-man Suplex spot.

Not much time for Kazusada Higuchi to rest. He still has the KO-D Tag Team Titles to defend with Daisuke Sekimoto tomorrow.

Toru Owashi has been banished from Japan so DDT is bringing in yet another luchador to replaced him. I’m not sure if Washitimo Dragon will be pleased to be here.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2018”, 22/07/2018
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs HARASHIMA
*HARASHIMA will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.

Next up for Shigehiro Irie is HARASHIMA. That is as long as HARASHIMA has a Right To Challenge Gauntlet. This is the match Irie wants more than anything when it comes to defending the KO-D Openweight Title. HARASHIMA is the one man in DDT that Irie cannot beat one on one. It is this impassible mountain that has sent Irie on international excursions over and over so he could get stronger. If Irie truly has a vision for what DDT should be then beating HARASHIMA may finally see it come to light.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. The World’s Crazy Couple Battle: Makoto Oishi & Misaki Ohata Vs Joey Ryan & Laura James

When it comes to going viral, Joey Ryan doesn’t like copycats. So when he found out that Makoto Oishi proposed to Misaki Ohata in the middle of a pro wrestling match, he wasn’t happy about it. Ryan proposed to Laura James during a match first! Clearly there’s only one place to settle this. Sumo Hall! The first match announced for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018” will be couple versus couple. You see, this is the kind of fun that John Cena and Nikki Bella are missing out on.

What Are You Doing This Sunday, DDT Prepares For The Best Ever, Heaven Summit Semi-Finals

June 22, 2018

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2018”, 24/06/2018
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Mizuki Watase & Aaron Anders
1. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Takatimo Dragon, Hiratimo Dragon & Toru Owashi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Antonio Honda & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani
2. Worldwide Match: Mike Bailey Vs Sammy Guevara
3. “KUDO” 15th Anniversary Memorial Match: KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Super Sasadango Machine
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kota Umeda, Yuki Ueno & Koji Takeda (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata
5. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Soma Takao Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

It’s been a month since he won it but Shigehiro Irie is ready for his first KO-D Openweight Title defence. Kazusada Higuchi has been a thorn in his side in the build up to this match. Power Vs Power is to be expected here but some words from Higuchi suggests that something more will be needed to determine who wins.

How much can you take DAMNATION at their word? They promise not to cheat or interfere in the DDT Extreme Title Match for the sake of sportsmanship but other than that there hasn’t really been anything else put in place to enforce the stipulation.

KUDO is celebrating 15 years of being a pro wrestler but everyone else involved in the match have their own accomplishments from 15 years ago to celebrate from company debuts to tournament wins.

DDT’s website has given a run down on Sammy Guevara in preparation for his debut. He’s being put in the ring against Mike Bailey because he might go through the same road Bailey has been on during his DDT career so far. Guevara’s nickname of “The Best Ever” has DDT wondering if he can prove it. Whatever happens, this could be the start of a new Japanese dream for a foreign wrestler. I think they have high hopes for this lad.
