D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 Schedule

October 29, 2019

The participants for the 3rd annual (I guess?) D-Ou Grand Prix was already revealed this month and now the block schedule has come out. The usual round robin rules apply: 30 minute time limits, 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. Tiebreakers are determined by the direct match result(s) between the tied wrestlers. Something to note is at the time of writing the prize for the winner has not been announced yet. Something like a KO-D Openweight Title shot is expected but where and when would be a mystery unless DDT announces a big arena show for next spring. I can’t see the winner holding onto the prize long enough for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2020” in June.

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.

DDT “RYOGOKU COLONEL SANDERS 2019” Results

October 19, 2019

DDT “RYOGOKU COLONEL SANDERS 2019”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
265 Fans

1. Keigo Nakamura Debut Match: Naomi Yoshimura defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Lariat (8:15).
2. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Antonio & Yamashita 3 Match Trial: Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita ended with 1 Win and 2 Losses.
2a. Masahiro Takanashi & Makoto Oishi defeated Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita when Oishi pinned Honda with a School Boy (5:22).
2b. Danshoku Dieno & Mizuki Watase defeated Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita when Dieno submitted Honda with an Armpit Hold (4:28).
2c. Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita defeated Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ueno when Honda pinned Hirata with the Diving Fist Drop (7:27).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Sleeper Hold (8:46).
4. Jiro Kuroshio defeated Yukio Sakaguchi with a School Boy (6:08).
5. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Akito, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Asuka when Takao pinned Katsumata with the Diving Foot Stomp onto chairs (14:35).
6. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Yukio Naya defeated Cody Hall with a Back Drop (14:10).
7. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Iino when HARASHIMA pinned Iino with the Somato (20:21).

HARASHIMA thanked a “scary” Toru Owashi for helping get their team the win. HARASHIMA also assured everyone his body is alright even if he still feels a little pain. For now his aim is to win all of the warm up matches left before Sumo Hall.

The bad tension between Yukio Naya and Cody Hall became water under the bridge after their singles match. Naya won the match but offered to shake Hall’s hand afterwards. When Hall went along with it Naya asked him to form a team together. Naya also told everyone he wants to take part in the “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2019” show happening next month. He’s been in DDT for six months and there is so much he wants to learn including Current Blast death matches.

Chairs were brought into play for the 8-Person Tag Match. Daisuke Sasaki threw one into the ring when the referee was distracted. Shunma Katsumata intercepted the chair from Soma Takao but Sasaki got into the ring with another one and hit Katsumata from behind. Takao continued with the chair attacks until he piled the chairs on top of Katsumata. Takao then finished him off with a Diving Foot Stomp onto the pile. Sasaki told the ALL OUT wrestlers to get ready for more hardcore wrestling at Sumo Hall. He then asked Akito if he wants to change his tag partner before then. Backstage Akito agreed that his partner should be changed. His partner is still Katsumata but now it is the hardcore version of Katsumata!

Yukio Sakaguchi is left wondering about what his weaknesses are in the run up to the D-Ou Grand Prix. He lost to Jiro Kuroshio when he missed the God’s Right Knee, crashed into the turnbuckles and got rolled up in a School Boy. Kuroshio on the other hand is pleased to have won against such a killer wrestler today. He feels a bit prouder going into his match with Tetsuya Endo on 27th October.

For a brief moment Nobuhiro Shimatani was sent to sleep by Isami Kodaka. When he woke back up the match was over but that didn’t stop Shimatani attacking Kodaka and dropping him with a Fisherman Suplex. He yelled that the problem between them can’t end like this.

The team of Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita went through three matches so they could find their groove together. They lost the first two matches because Yamashita kept falling for Honda’s fake injuries. Honda had to explain to her that he fakes his injuries so his opponents drop their guard and he can hit them with the Gongitsune. She finally understood and joined in with Honda’s story in the third match. Together with all of the wrestlers from the previous matches, they formed the Gonvengers and successfully launched an attack on Kazuki Hirata. Afterwards Hirata tried to knock out Yamashita with a chop but she blocked it with her chin. Yamashita then hit Hirata with the Crash Rabbit Heat and Honda followed with the Diving Fist Drop to get the team their first win.

Keigo Nakamura’s debut match had the expected result but he was met with respect from Naomi Yoshimura. He got some offence in with a Takedown from behind, a Missile Dropkick and a series of Middle Kicks until some Lariats from Yoshimura put him away.

Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino from Tokyo Joshi Pro announced that they will be entering the Gauntlet Tag match at Sumo Hall! They said if The Steiner Brothers won’t be there then The Bakuretsu Sisters will come out instead!

Nakamura Loses Weight, IRON FIST Finals, All Star Trios Match, Ultimate Party Sponsors

October 15, 2019

DDT “RYOGOKU COLONEL SANDERS 2019”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Keigo Nakamura Debut Match: Naomi Yoshimura Vs Keigo Nakamura
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Jiro Kuroshio
4. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Cody Hall Vs Yukio Naya
5. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Antono & Yamashita 3 Match Trial: Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita Vs Danshoku Dieno & Mizuki Watase, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ueno and Masahiro Takanashi & Makoto Oishi
6. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Akito, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Asuka
7. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Iino Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

At last Sunday’s show in Osaka, Toru Owashi threw in a shirt like it was a towel to call off the main event when HARASHIMA would not submit to the Walls Of Takeshita. Afterwards Owashi stood up to Konosuke Takeshita and said he will now be teaming with HARASHIMA at this Saturday’s show. Yuki Ueno was originally in that spot but now he is teaming with Kazuki Hirata in the Gauntlet Tag match.

It looks like Keigo Nakamura wasn’t being honest about his weight gain. Last week he announced that he reached his goal of reaching 75kg. Naomi Yoshimura made Nakamura weigh himself again today and they found out he is now actually at 68kg! Somehow he is losing weight instead of gaining it. At least his match with Yoshimura is still going ahead.

BASARA “BASARA 109 ~BANQUET~”, 23/10/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Semi Final: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT

DDT “PRE ULTIMATE PARTY 2019 ~ READY TO GO! ~RYOGOKU BIG EVE FESTIVAL!!~”, 27/10/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Keigo Nakamura
1. Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Cody Hall & Antonio Honda
2. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 10-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Makoto Oishi, Yukio Naya, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino, Asuka, Saki Akai
3. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Jiro Kuroshio
4. Yukio Sakaguchi & Mizuki Watase Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Hiroshi Yamato
5. Next KO-D Tag Team Titles Challenger Battle: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura
6. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special Hardcore 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Akito Vs FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura
7. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 6-Man Tag Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Ken Ohka & Shoko Nakajima Vs HARASHIMA, Isami Kodaka & Yuka Sakazaki

The main event has a 30 minute time limit but is also now best 2 out of 3 falls. The people involved has made this such an all star affair that DDT didn’t want the match to only last for one fall. HARASHIMA is not 100% physically fit after what happened on Sunday but he promises he is 100% mentally ready for this match and also Sumo Hall. Takeshita wants this to be a great match at a global level because it is significant for all of the DDT brands involved.

Daisuke Sasaki welcomes the idea of defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall in a Hardcore Match. That means he and the rest of DAMNATION can cheat to their heart’s content. The preview 4 Way at Korakuen Hall is also now a Hardcore match so we may get more examples of what they can do.

Masahiro Takanashi is impressed by how quickly Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura have bonded as a team. When he saw them challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with HARASHIMA last week, he didn’t see DISASTER BOX but rather HARASHIMA with Nautilus by his side. They will become KO-D Tag Team Champions some day which is why Takanashi & Chris Brookes need to beat them now. Also Takanashi wants to win the Tag Titles so the world will recognise him as Brookes’ DDT partner instead of Maki Itoh.

The main event is sponsored by DDT’s official energy drink BLACK OUT. The winner receives a 2,000,000 yen prize as well as a year’s supply of BLACK OUT. The Kenny Omega & Riho Vs Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita match is sponsored by Souken Holdings. The winning team gets a coupon worth 1,000,000 yen for home renovation. This might be a useless prize for Omega because he doesn’t live in Japan anymore.

Michiaki Nakano from Souken Holdings will be at ringside for the pre-show Battle Royal. He likes to attend these matches so he can try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. However the belt is currently being held by Kikutaro and he’s living in America now. Hisaya Imabayashi has pledged to bring the Iron Man Title back to Japan in time for the show.

2. Cody Hall & Antonio Honda defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani & Yukio Naya when Hall pinned Naya with the Thunder Buster (9:14).
3. Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Toru Owashi & Mizuki Watase when Endo submitted Watase with the Modified Yurikamome Hold (13:08).

7. I Really Like It! Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA & Billy Ken Kid by TKO when Takeshita used the Walls Of Takeshita on HARASHIMA (23:03).

Late in the main event Konosuke Takeshita delivered a lot of damage to HARASHIMA’s back with a Backbreaker. From there Takeshita applied the Walls Of Takeshita to his opponent. HARASHIMA struggled to reach towards the ropes but Takeshita dragged him back to the centre of the ring. HARASHIMA would not give up despite his helpless position. Toru Owashi took Yuki Ueno’s shirt and threw it into the ring like a towel so the match would be called off. Takeshita wanted HARASHIMA to submit so he asked who threw the shirt in. He also asked if HARASHIMA would accept his defeat today. If he isn’t giving up then they will fight again next week in Ryogoku KFC Hall. Owashi told Takeshita that he was the one who threw the shirt into the ring and now he will be the one teaming with HARASHIMA in KFC Hall.

The Nautilus team of Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura are building up momentum for their KO-D Tag Team Titles No. 1 Contenders match on 27th October. They feel that their team has gotten better since their failed attempt at winning the titles back in June.

A lot of cheating and interference got Daisuke Sasaki the win over Akito. There were Low Blows, chair usage, referee distractions and attacks from both Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani. After the match Sasaki said what just happened is why he does not care that the 4-Way Tag Match for the KO-D Tag Titles in Sumo Hall is also a Hardcore Match. It means DAMNATION can use chairs and have their other members interfere with no penalty!

The Hiroshi Yamato & Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata & Maku Donaruto match was as lewd as you could imagine. The wrestlers had to kiss each other to make a tag. Everyone was also eventually reduced to wrestling in their underwear. Yukinori Matsui got fed up when the shenanigans continues after the match. He hit Hirata with a Lariat and chased everyone else out of the ring.

Konosuke Takeshita and HARASHIMA get to prepare for their Sumo Hall main event while a rivalry between Yuki Iino and Naomi Yoshimura begins to grow. Maybe something will spark off between Shunma Katsumata and Yuki Ueno too.

Keigo Nakamura has already achieved his goal of shifting his weight up to 75kg. His debut match is going ahead.

DDT “PRE ULTIMATE PARTY 2019 ~ READY TO GO! ~RYOGOKU BIG EVE FESTIVAL!!~”, 27/10/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Keigo Nakamura
1. Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Cody Hall & Antonio Honda
2. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 10-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Makoto Oishi, Yukio Naya, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino, Asuka, Saki Akai

7. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Ken Ohka & Shoko Nakajima Vs HARASHIMA, Isami Kodaka & Yuka Sakazaki

Cram everything in there!

At the end of Chris Brookes’s first tour with DDT he formed a tag team with Masahiro Takanashi called Calamari Drunken Kings. With Brookes coming in for a new tour the team are immediately setting their sights on the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Another new team have also wanted a title shot. That team is the Nautilus duo of Ueno & Yoshimura. The solution is a No. 1 Contenders match! The winners get whatever remains of the 4 Way Tag Title match from Sumo Hall.

There is unfinished business between Jiro Kuroshio and Tetsuya Endo. Part of the reason Kuroshio lost the DDT Extreme Title to HARASHIMA was because he focused too much on Endo in the 3 Way Match. Kuroshio then pinned Endo at last weekend’s show in Sapporo. Endo said that result doesn’t matter because it was in a tag match. They will get a singles match to settle the matter.

DDT “SAPPORO NEW LEGEND 2019 ~AOI~” Results

October 8, 2019

DDT “SAPPORO NEW LEGEND 2019 ~AOI~”, 06/10/2019
Hokkaido Sapporo Susukino Mars Gym
314 Fans

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino (c) defeated HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura when Iino pinned Yoshimura with the Spear (21:10).
*V2 for ALL OUT.

Yesterday Naomi Yoshimura pinned Yuki Iino in a tag match. Today Iino got his win back and made sure the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles stay with ALL OUT. After the match Iino asked Yoshimura to shake his hand and joked “No side, no side.” Yoshimura hit him with a Lariat in response. Iino wanted to hit back but figured out his mistake. The “No Side” term doesn’t exist in pro wrestling like it does in rugby. He threw the idea of a rematch with Yoshimura. Speaking of rematches, Konosuke Takeshita told HARASHIMA to get ready because the days are counting down to Sumo Hall. They could even do more ALL OUT Vs DISASTER BOX rematches to prepare.

Kouki Iwasaki explained to the fans that he used to live with Tetsuya Endo so he knows all of his strengths and weaknesses. That knowledge wasn’t enough and Endo was left standing as the winner.

Antonio Honda did something unthinkable to Jiro Kuroshio. He pulled off his jacket! Honda put the jacket on himself but somehow it got his arms all tangled up when he wound up for the Bionic Elbow. Kuroshio knocked him down with a Super Kick and pinned him with the Swanton Bomb before getting his jacket back.

It seems that once a year Konosuke Takeshita gets to wrestle a big Osaka Pro name that he grew up watching. This time he gets to face Billy Ken Kid. He also has to worry about HARASHIMA but he’s a nice guy who wouldn’t ruin a moment like this. At least not on purpose. Unless you count winning matches with the Somato as on purpose.

DDT “RYOGOKU COLONEL SANDERS 2019”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Keigo Nakamura Debut Match: Naomi Yoshimura Vs Keigo Nakamura
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani
3. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Cody Hall Vs Yukio Naya

Tensions between Cody Hall and Yukio Naya are reaching dangerous levels. Hall has been getting the better of Naya in tag matches but all that has done is made Naya want to fight him even more.

Nobihiro Shimatani got so much confidence from beating Takato Nakano on Sunday that he challenged Isami Kodaka to a match!

The trainee Keigo Nakamura has spent all year working at DDT shows and getting dragged into other wrestler’s antics. He finally gets to debut but his opponent Naomi Yoshimura does not want to face him until he weighs at least 75kg. Nakamura weighed himself on Sunday and learned he is at 71.7kg. He weighed himself again today and found out he dropped down to 70kg! He’ll weigh himself again next week with the hopes of reaching at least 72kg.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ 1 -DDT SPECIAL EDITION-”, 20/10/2019
Tokyo Belle Epoque Beauty School 2nd School Hall

1. Danshoku Close Call: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Masahiro Takanashi Vs Makoto Oishi

6. Ikemen-gun Vs YaroZ-gun: Jiro Kuroshio, HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Antonio Honda, Yuki Iino & Yumehito Imanari

An email was sent to the DDT office by somebody identifying themselves as the manager of DAMNATION. This person complained about being called plump in the marketing for the BOYZ show. At first Akito thought the email was sent by Shimatani but then considered who out of DAMNATION would also get offended if they were called plump. Tetsuya Endo then became Akito’s main suspect. He decided to change the Shimatani Vs Kouki Iwasaki match into a tag bout between Shimatani & Endo against Iwasaki & Keisuke Ishii. Now he just has to make sure Endo will show up and Ishii is available.

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

1. MAO Marunage Match ~ Nagano Style Elimination Tornado Tag Scramble Bunkhouse Lucha Eyeglasses 2 Count Pin Fall No DQ No Rope Escape TLC Halloween Death Match: MAO, Makoto Oishi & Yuki Iino Vs Asuka, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata

Before he leaves for his UK excursion, MAO gets to put together a Marunage match. His idea is all over the place. It’s an elimination tag match with countless optional rules in place if the wrestlers want to use them. MAO believes he will return from England a changed man so this may be the last time he gets to do a match like this. Could MAO be taken away by the fabled Wind Of Liverpool?
