2. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Daisuke Sasaki with th PK (7:53).
3. 4 Way Match: Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Yasu Urano & Akito, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi and MIKAMI & Shoichi Uchida when Irie pinned Ihashi with the Beast Bomber (7:13).
4. Antonio Honda defeated Kuishinbo Kamen with the Diving Fist Drop (13:51).
5. Next KO-D Tag Team Titles Challenger Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO & Masa Takanashi when Endo pinned KUDO with a Cradle (18:45).
6. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) defeated Zeus with a 3 Count Kiss (9:32).
*V2 for Danshoku Dino.
7. Kota Ibushi 10th Anniversary Debut Match: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega defeated Michael Nakazawa & Yoshihiko when Ibushi pinned Nakazawa with the PK Heart (17:59).
8. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Somato (20:31).
*V4 for HARASHIMA.

HARASHIMA’s dominance continues. The KO-D Openweight Champion defeated Keisuke Ishii in Osaka to mark his 4th successful defence of the belt (and his 10th in the space of a year). Ishii got his title shot after winning a young wrestlers tournament intended to promote new blood for the title chase. HARASHIMA admitted he did not expect Ishii to have improved to the level he was but HARASHIMA was still stronger. The champ’s next defence will be in Korakuen Hall on 26th October against the runner up of the DDT Dramatic General Election. HARASHIMA doesn’t mind who it is as long as he finishes the election in first place. If he finishes second he gets to choose his challenger.

The last match in Kota Ibushi’s 10th anniversary celebration finally took place. Ibushi teamed with Kenny Omega to take on Michael Nakazawa and Yoshihiko who transformed into Ibushihiko for the occasion. Nakazawa congratulated Ibushi on his 10 years in wrestling but pointed out that he’s been through so many injuries that he’s really only been wrestling for around 8 years. Nakazawa then said Ibushihiko is the one who should have the double contract with DDT and New Japan. During the match, Ibushihiko was thrown on top of a nearby basketball hoop by Omega.

Danshoku Dino Vs Zeus for the DDT Extreme Title was fought in a Kiss Pin Match where a pin or submission would only count if the wrestlers were kissing each other as it happened. Surprisingly Zeus was not fazed at all when the rules were explained to him. Dino needed all the help he could get from Makoto Oishi and Shunma Katsumata. His two cornermen interfered in the match but were both overpowered by Zeus. The challenger even threatened to kiss the referee! Sino then summoned Shun Miyatake (Trainee) to help him and eventually the distractions were enough for Dino to pin Zeus with a kiss. After the match Zeus linked arms with Yukinori Matsui and said “a nice couple is born in Osaka!”

Tetsuya Endo scored the upset pin on KUDO to win himself and Konosuke Takeshita a KO-D Tag Team Title shot on 28th September. Later in the show Takeshita & Endo confronted the Golden Lovers to confirm the match. Endo spoke about his match with Kenny Omega during Beer Garden Week and also the 30 minute draw between both teams that took place back in January. Omeg said the Golden Lovers would have won in the 31st minute if the match continued. He also said if Endo scored 110 points with his best effort then he would need to score more than 150 points to succeed. He then asked Tsurumi to give the title match a 60 minute time limit to make sure another draw won’t happen.

Kazuki Hirata appealed for T2Hide to get a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot after they won the opening match. Amon Tsurumi said he would positively consider it.

Next year’s big show in Saitama Super Arena will be called “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”.

UNION “UNION SUMMER FESTIVAL 2014”, 31/08/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Madoka
2. Shibata Vs Tomoya Kawamura
3. Maskman X, Goro J.r & SAGAT Vs Seiya Morohashi, Daichi Kazato & Ryu Gouma

6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Ladybeard (c) Vs Mio Shirai
7. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Hikaru Sato is not particularly worried about his upcoming Union MAX Title defence against Shuji Ishikawa. In fact, he even forgot it is going to happen! Regardless he is confident he has the skills to beat Ishikawa. He also looks down on Ishikawa for wasting his time wrestling in beaches when he should be training for the title match.

Maskman X is the temporary name I am using for Union’s new masked wrestler. His official name will be revealed at some point before the show.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2014”, 13/09/2014
Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum #2

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Zeus

Former Osaka Pro wrestler Zeus enters DDT to challenge for the DDT Extreme Title. The champion Danshoku Dino must be thrilled. Not being sarcastic.

2. Heavy Match: Shuji Ishikawa & SAGAT Vs Dynamite Kasai & Aja Kong
3. Barbed Wire Board Death Match: Mio Shirai, Maki Narumiya & Isami Kodaka Vs Mayumi Ozaki, Shu Shibuya & X

Not only is the main event death match going to involved Barbed Wire Boards but every wrestler involved in the match will bring their own personal weapon with them too. I know Mio Shirai has been using a Signal Wand in her Pro Wrestling WAVE matches lately but that seems a bit tame for a match like this.

Union, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling WAVE and Ice Ribbon are getting together for a joint event next month.

The main event will be a 6-Person Tag Team Death Match. Shirai will be participating in her first ever Death Match along with Ice Ribbon’s Maki Narumiya. Union’s Isami Kodaka and Oz’s Mayumi Ozaki plus two more wrestlers. The type of Death Match and the teams will be decided on a later date.

When asked why she would compete in a Death Match, Shirai said she’s never done one in the 7 years she’s been wrestling. She’s done unusual matches that involved using weapons and wrestling in costumes but never a Death Match. Suggested matches for the rest of the card are Aja Kong Vs Jaiko Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi Vs Police, Tsukushi Vs Shuji Ishikawa (!?!?) and Sumire Natsu Vs Tsukushi.

He also requested anyone who knows his whereabouts to email Yumehito Imanari.

Immediately after revealing his email address, Imanari got a message from Tigers Mask asking for a booking. Joshi wrestler Miyako Matsumoto then suddenly appeared next to Imanari also asking to be booked. Believing this to be fate, Ohka made Tigers Mask Vs Miyamo Matsumoto for the show.

Dr. Kiriko is the mysterious person who put J-Soul Pandita III to sleep at “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!” in December. Survival Tobita has sworn revenge because he’s sure as Hell not going to start wrestling normal opponents.

Gorikiko approached Ohka and Imanari asking to join the war between Ganbare☆Wrestling and Union. Naturally she will be pitted against Cherry.

3. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
4. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi

DDT has come up with a new match to use exclusively in Saitama. The Infomercial Match requires the participants to advertise products and companies as they wrestle. The match will only be booked in Saitama because it will be recorded for Teletama to be broadcast in April.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN OYAMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOCHIOTOME~”, 16/03/2014
Koyama Municipal Cultural Centre Small Hall

1. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Shigehiro Irie Vs Tetsuya Endo
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito Vs KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi

Masa Takanashi has formed a new unit of alcohol lovers and is using his liquor knowledge to prepare KUDO for his KO-D Openweight Title shot against former stablemate HARASHIMA. Add Yukio Sakaguchi and you have yourself a strong group. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano have to rely on Akito to fill in the gap left by KUDO switching sides.

A special attraction match featuring men from DDT’s past is set for this show. MIKAMI teams with NOSAWA Rongai to face Takashi Sasaki & Kengo Takai.

Aja Kong has grown rather fond of Shigehiro Irie after they shared a kiss in the middle of last Sunday’s KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match. By the looks of things, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi blame Kong’s search for romance for their title loss and have challenged her and Irie to a match.
