3. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Mizuki Watase when Iwasaki pinned Watase with the Leg Capture Suplex (12:54).
4. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Suguru Miyatake & Candice LeRae when Endo pinned Miyatake with the Sky Twister Press (13:34).
5. Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Urano pinned Matsunaga with a Cradle (14:01).
6. HARASHIMA defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Cradle (9:10).
7. Isami Kodaka & Masa Takanashi defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Kodaka pinned Takao with the Gin And Tonic Cutback (14:31).

Isami Kodaka & Masa Takanashi worked well as a team in the main event. Takanashi saved Kodaka from Soma Takao’s Gin And Tonic, then later pulled the referee out of the ring when Kodaka was being pinned. Kodaka countered the Gin And Tonic again and rolled Takao over for the three count. Takanashi handed Kodaka a beer after the match and held a toast for their KO-D Openweight Title match. They drank but Takanashi suddenly kicked Kodaka and gave him the Takatonic! He yelled at Kodaka that he was going to win the title and ended the show drinking with Yukio Sakaguchi.

Yasu Urano learned that his DDT Extreme Title match with Kendo Kashin will allow a single wrestler to be in each man’s corner and they can swap places when they touch their partner. The way it is described sounds a lot like a tag team match but Kendo thinks otherwise. At the moment it looks like Akito will be Urano’s partner for the match.

It seems that almost everybody in DDT is falling for Candice LeRae. All members of Happy Motel wanted a kiss from her but she rejected them. In the post-match interview Candice said she was in front of a great audience and Japanese fans are the best. Guanchulo translated her comments but Daisuke Sasaki was convinced he was lying. Why? Because Sasaki thought Candice was clearly saying “Sasaki, I love you!” He’ll team with her on their own next and will find a ring for their wedding.

DDT will run Kyoto KBS Hall on 14th May and Kobe Sambo Hall on 31st July. It will be DDT’s first show in Sambo Hall in over 7 years. They were last there in November 2008. The last KBS Hall show was in May 2011 and is remembered as the Zundoko Bus Incident. The tour bus broke down on the Tomei Expressway early in the morning and they had to spend 189,000 yen on other transport to reach the arena. Then when the show was over and it was time to go back to Tokyo the same bus broke down again and the entire trip lasted 26 hours!

Everybody in Match #2 agreed to compete in a Scramble Bunkhouse Glasses Death Match.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~NEW YEAR~”, 16/01/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Masa Takanashi Vs Yusuke Kubo
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu

Isami Kodaka has single victories over both Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo which is enough to earn a KO-D Tag Team Title match. He and Ryota Nakatsu can bring another title into BASARA before its debut show.

BASARA “RAISING AN ARMY VAJRA 1 ~STAKE EVERYTHING~”, 21/01/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ikuto Hidaka
2. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Daisuke Sekimoto
3. Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs FUMA & Daichi Kazato

The big mystery I have about BASARA is what FUMA’s role will be. The leader of King Legion had until now been quiet about his participation with the new brand. He told Kodaka at “NEW YEAR LOTTERY SPECIAL! 2016” that he will not stay quiet when the show takes place and he intends to crush him.

Nakatsu is honored to face Ikuto Hidaka in the opener. It is the perfect match for him to wrestle his own way without any limits.

Keisuke Ishii wants to regain the All Asia Tag Team Titles he and Shigehiro Irie held back in 2014. If DDT or All Japan can’t give it to them then he’s booking the match on his own show!

2. KO-D Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Masa Takanashi
