DDT “DNA 20”, 07/09/2016
Kitasenju Theatre 1010
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Dropkick (10:37).
2. Koji Iwamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Aloof Art (9:46).
3. Rainbow Kawamura Last DNA Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Rainbow Kawamura with the Raw Danshoku Driver (9:35).
4. Yasu Urano & Hi69 defeated MAO & Rekka when Hi69 submitted Rekka with a Cross Armbreaker (11:09).
5. Road To DNA-GP: Shunma Katsumata defeated Mizuki Watase with the Swan Dive X Factor (11:23).
6. Road To DNA-GP: Kazusada Higuchi & Guanchulo defeated Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Guanchulo pinned Umeda with the Seijo Scratch (10:34).

With the DNA Grand Prix around the corner many of the wrestlers on the show were motivated to fight at full strength. Guanchulo got the upset pin over Kota Umeda in the main event when he ducked a Buzzsaw Kick and got Umeda’s shoulders on the mat with the Seijo Scratch. Umeda protested the result and said he kicked out but it stood. Guanchulo thanked Kazusada Higuchi for helping him win and praised his opponents for being strong. He said the DNA Grand Prix is his chance to show what he’s got. He also wants a singles match against Higuchi.

Rainbow Kawamura’s final match for DNA as against Danshoku Dino and it was as pervy as you’d expect. Daisuke Kiso was caught in the middle and took the brunt from both wrestlers. Kawamura sprayed him in the eyes with his disinfectant then Dino made him pass out with the Lip Lock. Kawamura wound up getting stripped out of his wrestling gear and everyone found out he was wearing lingerie underneath. One Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver later brought an end to the match and to Rainbow Kawamura. Dino told Kawamura to stand back up and give his farewell speech. It was interrupted when a crying Dai Suzuki ran in and hugged Kawamura. Suzuki said they walked through their twists and turns together but suddenly that won’t happen anymore. Higuchi appeared and mentioned how surprised he was when Kawamura sent him a LINE message saying he was quitting DNA. Even though Kawamura missed a lot of shows because of an injury, Higuchi still treats him as his senior. He hopes Kawamura will work as hard in BASARA as he did in DNA. Kawamura thanked the staff for letting him wrestle Dino in his last match. From tomorrow, he is now a part of BASARA.

Shunma Katsumata’s goal for the Grand Prix is to go undefeated for the entire tournament.

In the opening match Nobuhiro Shimatani was able to avoid Daisuke Sasaki’s Now Or Never but a Dropkick from Sasaki immediately afterwards was enough to end the match. Shimatani’s next DNA match is against Konosuke Takeshita on 30th September. The main event of that show is Umeda & Katsumata Vs Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki.

The entire show was watched and studied by Shuji Ishikawa so he could pick the No. 1 contender for his KO-D Openweight Title. He wanted to pick someone who is worthy of a title shot and sat in a special area at ringside to watch the show. Throughout the evening Daisuke Sasaki kept saying Nobuhiro Shimatani was a diamond in the rough and deserves a shot. So he made impromptu Ishikawa Vs Shimatani matches whenever he could just as an excuse for Ishikawa to beat up the little guy. Ishikawa quickly beat Shimatani both times and Amon Tsurumi had to stop them from doing it again. At the end of the show everybody gathered together to hear who Ishikawa will pick. Sasaki decided the best way to choose is to have everybody kill each other and the last one left is determined the strongest. So a 24-Man Battle Royal took place and Kazusada Higuchi was the winner. Higuchi admitted Ishikawa is the strongest in DDT but that means if Higuchi wins then he becomes the strongest. The title match takes place at Korakuen Hall on 25th September.

After the main event Sasaki told Konosuke Takeshita that his KO-D Title loss at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016” was an end of an era. He challenged him to face Tetsuya Endo in a match there and then but Tsurumi instead booked it for Osaka on 18th September.

It didn’t take long for Yoshihiro Takayama to make an enemy. His first match as a DDT regular ended in a pull apart brawl with Yukio Sakaguchi. Tension between the two began before their tag team match even began when they stared each other down from across the ring. Takayama and Higuchi overpowered their opponents and gave Kota Umeda a Double Choke Slam before the finish.

Danshoku Dino is taking his new role of Wrestling Mentalist to heart by wearing a doctor’s coat. His current attempts to help Keisuke Ishii seem to be working after they won the 3 Way Tag Match. Ishii is in denial that he is sick. He then listed all the times he lost to Dino in singles matches in great detail. He currently has a 4-match losing streak against Dino. However he worked out in order to beat Dino the match has to be 17 minutes and 41 seconds long. Why? Because that was the match time of Akira Taue’s only Triple Crown win.

Kazuki Hirata is taking his preparations for Soma Takao seriously. He only danced during his entrance and there were no signs of using the HIRATA GO! glasses during their tag match. He only has one thing on his mind and that’s win the AJPW Jr. Title from Takao!

Makoto Oishi briefly mentioned the split between NωA and their manager happened because of “various circumstances”. Oishi said he wants to show that NωA needs the power of everybody to help them make it to “DDT FES 2016”.

Before the dark match took place Danshoku Dino accompanied Super Sasadango Machine to the ring. Dino is taking in Sasadango as his newest patient because he wants to help solve his problem of careless and inappropriate tweeting. Sasadango apologised for his controversial comments about female DDT fans from earlier this week. He proceed to lose the dark match against Hoshitango. Dino wonders is Sasadango now suffers from “The Curse Of The Coin”.

DDT “DNA 19” Results

August 6, 2016

DDT “DNA 19”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
124 Fans

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with the Asai DDT (7:39).
2. Character Wrestler King Final: Gota Ihashi defeated Rainbow Kawamura with a Body Press (9:18).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata defeated MAO & Rekka when Ishii pinned MAO with the Kneel Kick (10:58).
4. Kengo Mashimo defeated Mizuki Watase with the Mudo (14:06).
5. Mike Bailey & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shunma Katsumata & Guanchulo when Iwasaki pinned Guanchulo with the Leg Capture Suplex (10:44).
6. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Kota Umeda with the Goten (17:19).

DNA will hold the first ever DNA Grand Prix this October to determine who is truly the strongest wrestler in the brand. It is a five day round robin tournament taking place between 17th October to 21st October in Shinjuku FACE. There will be two blocks with five wrestlers each. The winners of both blocks will meet in the finals and the prize is a one way ticket to New York! The DNA-GP will also allow something that is usually a big no no in pro wrestling. Fans attending the shows will be encouraged to film the matches on their phones. All DNA is asking in return is for the videos to be posted online with the hashtag #DNA_GP.

Kazusada Higuchi has to be the favourite going into the DNA-GP after beating Kota Umeda in the main event. Higuchi said that even though Umeda defeated KENSO last month, he is still not strong enough to be the DNA ace. That claim goes to Higuchi.

Mike Bailey continues to win over fans both in the audience and in the locker room during his stay in Japan. Bailey was confirmed as a participant in the DNA-GP, which is odd since the prize involves visiting a country he is supposedly banned from entering for the time being. Kouki Iwasaki wants to win the DNA-GP so he can go warrior training while living out the American Dream.

Kengo Mashimo wasn’t impressed by his opponent Mizuki Watase. He told Watase several times throughout the match that he is weak but it was all to bring out Watase’s competitive spirit. Mashimo even said his heart feels broken after fighting such an average wrestler.

Daiki Shimomura and Nobuhiro Shimatani both debuted on the same night but a shoulder injury meant Shimomura had to take time off for three months while Shimatani still wrestled. So it was quite an upset for Shimomura to beat Shimatani in the opening match despite having less experience in the ring. Shimomura said he wanted to win the match so much he had to find his hidden strengths. Shimatani meanwhile wants to quickly avenge his defeat.

DDT “DNA 16” Results

May 11, 2016

DDT “DNA 16”, 11/05/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall
225 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Tatsumi Tsukamoto defeated Rekka with a Grounded Manjigatame (8:27).
2. Makoto Oishi defeated Rainbow Kawamura with the Miracle Ecstasy (8:04).
3. KENSO defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Diving Elbow Drop (10:56).
4. Jiro Kuroshio defeated Mizuki Watase with an Arm Lock (10:32).
5. Team Drift Goodbye Series: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Guanchulo & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Ishii submitted Shimatani with a Half Crab Hold (14:22).
6. Kota Umeda defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Umeda Driver I (16:55).

He was gone for a month but Kota Umeda came back wanting to fight and live the pro wrestling life. Umeda was absent because he wanted to protect his relatives in Kumamoto after last month’s earthquake. In the main event against Shunma Katsumata he had to deal with his ring rust quickly because his opponent wasn’t going to take it easy on him. The match quickly went outside where Umeda missed Katsumata and kicked the ring post instead. Back inside Umeda avoided the Nebula Storm, hit a High Kick and pinned Katsumata with the Umeda Driver I. Umeda shook hands with Katsumata afterwards. Umeda said there isn’t enough wrestlers in DNA and that the place is more interesting with himself on top.

A nervous Nobuhiro Shimatani had to take Mao Inoue’s spot in the match against Team Drift after Inoue got injured. Keisuke Ishii bent him backwards with a nasty looking Half Crab Hold to win the match. Shimatani admitted he was scared from the pressure. Kazusada Higuchi was frustrated from losing to Drift again but was also encouraged by Umeda and Katsumata’s performance in the main event.

Kouki Iwasaki tried to stand up for DNA against KENSO but was handily defeated by the veteran. KENSO was left standing in the ring disappointed. Was this the best DNA had to offer? He challenged anyone from DNA to prove him wrong. Rainbow Kawamura answered the call. He’s never wrestled in America or Mexico but he’s been to Shinjuku and got the stuff to beat KENSO! Their match takes place on 9th June.

Daiki Shimomura will return to action on the 9th June show. The rookie was injured in his debut match back in March.

DDT “DNA 14”, 05/03/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Nobuhiro Shimatani Debut Match: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Trampled Crab Hold (8:14).
2. Daiki Shimomura Debut Match: Kota Umeda defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Umeda Driver (10:49).
3. Tomoya Kawamura/Rainbow Kawamura Comeback Match: Rainbow Kawamura & Daichi Kazato defeated Shunma Katsumata & Guanchulo when Kazato pinned Guanchulo with the Sister Abigail (9:57).
4. Bear The Same Fate If They Take The Same Road! Brothers Take Different Paths!: Tigger Bedscene & Shiori Asahi defeated Dai Suzuki & Ken Ohka when Bedscene pinned Suzuki with a Northern Lights Suplex (11:39).
5. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Mizuki Watase with a Canadian Backbreaker (10:26).
6. Kota Umeda defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Umeda Driver (15:45).

Kota Umeda used a new finisher to win both of his matches. The temporarily named Umeda Driver is a modified Fisherman Buster that looks like it lands similarly to a Northern Lights Bomb. Umeda pointed out that two thirds of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions lost today while he beat two wrestlers in separate matches. In order to prove he is the strongest in DNA, Umeda must beat the only champion who has yet to be defeated, Kazusada Higuchi!

Mizuki Watase was able to give Higuchi a Back Drop for a nearfall but ultimately fell to Higuchi’s Canadian Backbreaker. Watase figured out that the Back Drop that won him his first wrestling match isn’t polished enough to beat someone like Higuchi. The feeling he got when he won a match was fun but useless if he can’t beat stronger opponents. He wants to have the same motivation he felt when he wrestled Shinjiro Otani.

Dai Suzuki is now 0-4 in DNA matches against his brother Tigger Bedscene. His partner for the match Ken Ohka praised Suzuki for his daring performance despite losing. Ohka told him to hang in there. It was revealed Suzuki wrestled with a cracked meniscus in his left knee. He hasn’t decided to get surgery or to let it heal naturally.

rainbowkawamura

The returning Tomoya Kawamura declined to appear at the show’s opening ceremony. A message was passed along saying Kawamura was going to debut a new costume and ring name but wanted to wait until his match to reveal it. And reveal it he did. Wearing a Hatsune Miku wig, a colourful vest and a big ruffled collar to go with his normal tights Kawamura is now known as Rainbow Kawamura. He used a bottle of hand disinfectant to clean himself during the match. He explained that he spent a lot of time in Shinjuku while recovering from injury. He is called Rainbow Kawamura because his new costume has beautiful rainbow colours and he will use his disinfectant to clean up the world of pro wrestling.

DNA’s newest rookies Nobuhiro Shimatani and Daiki Shimomura both had their debut matches on this show, each against one of the wrestlers involved in the main event. Shimatani wore red gear for his match against Iwasaki. He wants to be the kind of wrestler who is brave with his strikes. Shimomura wore orange shorts and green kneepads as he wrestled Umeda. He received a lot of streamers for his introduction. He had a high flying style, hitting a Quebrada followed by a Swan Dive Lariat on Kouki Iwasaki during his hot streak in the match. Unfortunately Shimomura dislocated his left arm and has been told to rest for three weeks. He will have to miss the Sumo Hall show.

Mao Inoue will return from injury in time for the DDT 19th Anniversary show in Sumo Hall on 21st March.

A memorial for the late Eiji Esaki, aka Hayabusa was held by Sanshiro Takagi at the beginning of the show.
