DDT “DRAMATIC SCAN NIIGATA! 2015”, 21/09/2015
Niigata Toriyano Gymnasium
543 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Hoshitango defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Midnight Buenos Aires (7:51).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Hirata pinned Katsumata with the Viagra Driver (8:23).
3. Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Suguru Miyatake when Ryan pinned Miyatake with the Super Kick (11:40).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Irie pinned Endo with the Beast Bomber (15:06).
5. Akito defeated Kota Umeda with the Scorpion Lock (11:19).
6. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Sasaki pinned Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II (14:58).
7. Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Machine pinned Urano with the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock (14:35).

Danshoku Dino and Super Sasadango Machine were the local heroes on this show. They said they wanted to protect Niigata from the evils of Smile Squash. Sasadango reminded everyone before the bell that his Lehman Shock finisher removes 35% of the victim’s hit points and is guaranteed to win the match if he hits it 3 times. He immediately did the move on Yasu Urano but held back from pinning him. He did it again after Dino pulled him out of the way from Urano’s Diving Body Press. Sasadango hit the move one more time and true to his word it was enough to beat Urano. Sasadango said the he, Dino & Ken Ohka will soon fight a formidable enemy in the form of Team Drift. He promised they will work hard to win and not embarrass themselves.

Kota Ibushi returned to the ring after a few days absence due to being in “poor physical condition”. What that means, DDT isn’t saying. He was able to save Daisuke Sasaki from defeat when he stopped Masa Takanashi’s Takatonic with a Lariat and Dragon Suplex. Sasaki picked up the pieces and pinned Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II. Sasaki then confronted Yukio Sakaguchi after the match. Sakaguchi lifted his KO-D Openweight Title up in Sasaki’s face. Sasaki gave Sakaguchi a High Kick to the head in response, starting a brawl between the two. They were soon seperated by wrestlers at ringside. Ibushi began worshipping Sasaki in the ring while Sakaguchi was dragged away.

Joey Ryan’s tactic of sticking a lollipop in his opponent’s mouth and then Super Kicking him continues to work for him. He is also bonding with Hiroshi Fukuda over how American they both are.


Union’s Final Harvest, Ganpuro Gets Real Tiger Mask, Who’s Gonna Top DDT?

September 14, 2015

ohka-katsumura

UNION “UNION HARVEST FESTIVAL 2015”, 15/09/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Ryu Gouma (w/ Kazuhiko Ogasawara)
2. Mitomi Masayuki & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Madoka & Ayumu Honda
3. Mio Shirai Last Union Match: Mio Shirai & Ladybeard Vs GENTARO & X
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – Three Match Special Rules: Aoi Kizuki (c) Vs Cherry
5. 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato, Yusuke Kubo & Masato Shibata Vs FUMA, MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT
6. Last Man Standing Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi

Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi is now a Last Man Standing match. This is the kind of pro wrestling where friends who care for one another beat the crap out of each other to prove it.

The Fly To Everywhere Title match between Aoi Kizuki and Cherry will be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls with each fall having a special rule. The first fall is a 3 Way Match with Miyako Matsumoto also included. Whoever beats Matsumoto first will win the fall. The 2nd fall is a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match with A.YAZAWA as the special guest referee. If needed, the 3rd and final fall will be a Total 3 Count match. The best I can describe the rule is if you pin your opponent for a two count then your next pin only needs a one count to win. If you pin and get a one count then the next pin needs a two count to win. I’m not entirely sure if three one counts is enough to win or if the amount needed is only based on the previous pin. But the intention here is pinning the opponent for three seconds in total just not necessarily in a row.

This will be Mio Shirai’s final match in Union before she retires on 20th September. Shirai has chosen Kyoko Kimura to be GENTARO’s partner in the match.

Ryu Gouma has admitted defeat in his quest to learn Karate in order to beat Hiroshi Fukuda’s Judo. This last match is not Judo Vs Karate, but American Vs Lawyer.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BAD COMMUNICATION 2015”, 23/09/2015
Shinjuku FACE

1. Animal Planet Special 3 Way Match: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Neko Nitta Vs Kris Wolf
2. Do Judge!!: Yukihiro Abe Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

5. Resonance To The Major Sports ~The Real Tiger Mask And Disciple Of Tiger Mask Vs Enjo-gun~: Shuichiro Katsumura & Hayato Mashita Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki
6. Texas Tornado Hardcore Special Handicap Match: Ken Ohka, GENTARO, Shota & Bambi Vs Minoru Fujita, Hi69 & Osamu Namiguchi

Minoru Fujita demanded that the main event will be a Hardcore Match. He also mocked Ganbare☆Wrestling by saying they should worry about Tokyo Joshi Pro outdrawing them in the same building on the same date. Ken Ohka said his team will beat Fujita’s team and they will rehabilitate Fujita out of his bad attitude.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is bringing in a surprise name for this show. The “Real Tiger Mask” Shuichiro Katsumura will wrestle in Ganpuro to help turn it into a major sports company. He will team with Hayato Mashita who was his first opponent in his debut pro wrestling match.

Yumehito Imanari was told that his design of Ganpuro’s new logo plagiarises the logo of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. Imanari still denies the claim and even went as far as to print up T-shrts of the new logo to sell at the show. It is too late for Ganpuro to cancel the order so they have no other choice but to sell the shirts once they arrive.

Ken Ohka has wished Kana good luck on her move to WWE. Kana wrestled a match in Ganpuro back in February. She has inspired Ohka to give back to wrestling and for Ganpuro to do its best in Japan while she does the same in America.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? ~DDT DRAMATIC GENERAL ELECTION 2015~”, 27/09/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
1. Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata
3. KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Fukuda

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Ken Ohka
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Daisuke Sasaki was nominated as the No. 1 Contender by Yukio Sakaguchi himself. With the Vietnam Driver II in his arsenal, Sasaki now thinks he is Earth’s Strongest Man. Sakaguchi may knee that thought straight out of Sasaki’s head.

#OhkaEmpire have impressed and annoyed Team Drift enough to get a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles shot. Danshoku Dino pinned both Keisuke Ishii and Soma Takao yesterday while Ken Ohka is constantly standing up to Shigehiro Irie despite coming off the worse for wear in every encounter. The one wild card is Super Sasadango Machine. He had a secret plan yesterday that he was unable to use because he was quickly eliminated. The upcoming rematch gives him another chance to use it if he wishes.

DDT “DRAMATIC GRAPHICS NIIGATA 2014”, 24/11/2014
Niigata Toriyano Gymnasium
441 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shigehiro Irie defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Beast Bomber (10:46).
2. Toru Owashi & DJ Nira Vs Michael Nakazawa & MIKAMI ended in a draw when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with a Big Boot and MIKAMI pinned Nira with the School Boy at the same time (0:10).
2a. Toru Owashi & MIKAMI defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with a Big Boot and MIKAMI pinned Nira with the School Boy (0:10).
2b. Toru Owashi & MIKAMI defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with the Nodowa Otoshi (9:57).
3. Makoto Oishi defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (8:39).
4. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao when Ibushi pinned Ishii with the Sit Down Last Ride (13:21).
5. Achoo Prevention Death Match: Super Sasadango Machine defeated Antonio Honda when Honda sneezed (11:27).
6. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (18:06).

Super Sasadango Machine and Antonio Honda both had a cold. Sasadango explained he went swimming at a beach during the cold weather. Honda’s excuse was he picked up the cold while he was naked. Amon Tsurumi decided that their match will be an Achoo Prevention Death Match. The loser was the first person to sneeze. They both wore towels over their head to keep warm and wipe their noses when they came close to sneezing. Honda prevented his sneezing by trying to speak so he would suddenly say things like “Ha… Haaaa… Huckleberry Finn!” Sasadango finally made Honda sneeze when he plucked out one of his nose hairs. At the end of the show HARASHIMA told Sasadango that training his body will help him avoid colds.

Makoto Oishi got a small measure of revenge on Tetsuya Endo when he defeated him in a singles match. This came a day after Endo boasting that he and the KO-D Tag Team Titles have passed Oishi by.

Match #2 had some confusing things going on. First the match ended in a super fast draw when Toru Owashi and MIKAMI pinned DJ Nira and Michael Nakazawa at the same time. Nakazawa asked for another match but this time he would team with Nira to go against Owashi & MIKAMI. The rematch was identical to the first bout so one more match took place immediately afterwards. However Nakazawa was starting to feel tired and groggy. Shun Miyatake (Trainee) yelled some words of encouragement and Nakazawa was soon re-energised! Then Owashi pinned him with the Choke Slam. Oh well!
