GATOH MOVE, 11/05/2013
Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic

Emi Sakura defeated DJ Nira with a La Magistral Cradle (12:06).
*Emi Sakura wins DJ Nira’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

One of the active Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts changed hands outside of DDT for the first time. Emi Sakura defeated DJ Nira in the main event of yesterday’s Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya, the same building where Ganbare☆Wrestling held their event the day before. Masa Takanashi was there as the referee for the no time limit main event while Tetsuya Endo and Tokyo Women’s Wrestling manager Tetsuya Koda was also in attendence (Koda was the person who broke the news on DDT’s website). Nira fought his hardest, targeting Sakura’s finger and hitting the DJ Time, but in the end Sakura rolled him up with La Magistral Cradle to win the match and take possession of his contract.

Shigehiro Irie was upset he lost in the main event despite being the KO-D Champion. With his title defence against Yukio Sakaguchi coming up, he is determined not to lose again.

Sanshiro Takagi is now in possession of a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. He was so happy that he and Toru Owashi finally won a match together that he now accepts they are a proper tag team together.

The card was slightly reshuffled when bad weather prevented Yoshihiko from being delivered to the arena in time. It was replaced by Alpha Female, the current World of Stardom Champion. Alpha Female was introduced as a corporal for the Monster Army but she turned on her partners and dragged an unconscious Michael Nakazawa onto Antonio Honda after she gave him a Spinebuster. Danshoku Dino then came out and revealed that Alpha Female will be teaming with him and Makoto Oishi to take on the Monster Army for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in Shinjuku FACE next week.

A busy day for the wrestlers who held a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. Yasu Urano regained possession of a contract by pinning Keisuke Ishii in the main event, also defending his KO-D Tag Team Title with HARASHIMA in the process. But the big story was Makoto Oishi winning a contract from Akito and later cashing it in to challenge Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title. Despite having just wrestled and lost in the main event, Irie was able to defeat Oishi and register V1 for his title run.

The team of Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi has not blended well together since forming. Their defeat to the Monster Army today was caused when Owashi accidentally knocked out Takagi with a Lariat.

Shigehiro Irie is still nervous to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against Yukio Sakaguchi on 13/4. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma encouraged him by saying “You are strong! You’re Champion!” over and over.

Sanshiro Takagi is the first person to lose his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract after getting pinned by Yasu Urano in their tag team match. With the contract in his possession, Urano thinks he has a 98% chance of winning the KO-D Title when he cashes in the contract. But if HARASHIMA cashes in his contract first and loses to the champion, Urano thinks he will then have a 100% chance of success.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie defeated Kenny Omega (c) with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (24:29).
*Kenny Omega fails in V4. Shigehiro Irie becomes the 45th KO-D Openweight Champion!

The torch has been passed, Shigehiro Irie is the first in his generation of DDT wrestlers to win the KO-D Openweight Title! Over the last two years, Irie has taken big steps towards the top beating such DDT and Union alumni like Kota Ibushi and Shuji Ishikawa. One person he could never get the best of was the champion Kenny Omega. Almost a year ago Irie went through rigorous weight loss training in order to wrestle Kenny for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Today there was no weight limit handicapping the Teddy Bear. It wasn’t easy, Omega fought tooth and nail to keep his title but Irie’s heart was just that little bit bigger. A Vertical Drop Back Flip attempt was rearranged into a Thunder Fire Driver, knocking Omega silly and leaving him vulnerable to another Vertical Drop Back Flip. That one connected and three seconds later Irie was swamped by his Team Dream Future stablemates and handed the KO-D Title belt.

Irie couldn’t believe he won. He couldn’t believe he beat Kenny Omega. He thanked the audience for chanting his name and he thanked his friends for supporting him. Tsurumi Amon dampened the celebrations by telling Irie that there are now four wrestlers with Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contracts and Keisuke Ishii is one of them. Ishii stepped in and said he won’t be cashing in his contract until the time was right for him and Irie. Sanshiro Takagi awkwardly congratulated Irie, clearly resisting temptation to cash in his contract there and then. Irie’s first challenger Yukio Sakaguchi appeared on the ring apron and simply stuck out his fist. Irie placed his elbow against the fist in response as if to say “Challenge accepted,”

The Royal Rumble Ladder match had 5 prizes in total on the line. Literally. Four envelopes hung from a cable above the ring. Two of the envelopes had a smiley face on them. The other two had the skull and bones symbol. It was up to the competitors to climb up ladders and fight amongst each other to reach them. When somebody pulled down an envelope they played no further part in the match. Meanwhile, Battle Royal rules were also in effect with the overall winner getting a KO-D Title shot on 13th April. Yukio Sakaguchi won the Battle Royal portion. With the title shot in his grasp, Sakaguchi now feels like he is part of the DDT family.

Sanshiro Takagi, Keisuke Ishii, HARASHIMA & DJ Nira were the four wrestlers who grabbed the envelopes. They were called into the ring after the match to open the envelopes and reveal their prizes. It turns out all four envelopes contained Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contracts that allowed the holder to challenge the KO-D Champion to a title match at any DDT show from now until 3rd August. However, to even the playing field a new rule was added. The contracts can now change hands if the contract holder is pinned, submitted or knocked out at any wrestling show in Japan! Hiroshi Fukuda suddenly ambushed Takagi and pinned him with a School Boy but as he celebrated with Takagi’s contract, Tsurumi Amon told him the rule was not 24/7 and only comes into play during actual wrestling matches.

K-1 fighter Kizaemon Saiga had a successful debut in DDT teaming with his friend Kota Ibushi to defeat Yasu Urano & FUMA. They won by using a Doomsday Spinning Heel Kick with Saiga performing the kick. During the backstage interview afterwards Saiga said he had fun but was in a huge amount of pain. He hopes to do both MMA and wrestling. Ibushi was nervous for his friend but Saiga’s performance proved how compatible he is with pro wrestling. In regards to the Doomsday Kick, Saiga said it was the first time he ever did a Jumping Kick from that height. He called Ibushi his teacher and wants to fly and bounce around the ring like he does.

The 2013 King Of DDT tournament will begin at Shinjuku on 28th June. Round 2 will be held in Nagoya on 17th July. The semi-finals and final will take place in Umeda later that month. The winner will earn a KO-D Title shot at the 18/8 Sumo Hall show.

Danshoku Dino is getting his own show on DDT’s Nico Douga Channel. The show is called Danshoku Matchmaking. If this does not turn out to be DDT’s version of Blind Date with Dino playing the role of Cilla Black, I will be disappointed.

Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa is a match so important it has to get it’s own show!

*Gorgeous Matsuno becomes the 938th champion.

What a busy day for Kota Ibushi. First off he wins the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in New Japan, then he teams with future opponent Kenny Omega in DDT. Then he suddenly gets challenged by DJ Nira. That’s right, DJ Nira finally cashed in his “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere” contract to get his KO-D Openweight Title match right there in Shin-Kiba 1st Ring.

But we’ll get to that in a moment. Before that happened, Michael Nakazawa had some words to say to the Golden Lovers. He was in the corner for both Ibushi & Omega when they won their titles in New Japan and All Japan. Now the loyal dog was going to bite back. Him and Gota Ihashi tried to jump the Golden Lovers but they were easily brushed aside. Nakazawa then said the match was now a 3-On-2 Handicap match. Unfortunately for him, the third man never came out and the match continued as scheduled. Kenny ducked the Ultlimate Venom Arm of Nakazawa and pinned him with the Croyt’s Wrath. That was when DJ Nira appeared.

Nira low blowed Ibushi to start the match. He tried to do a Body Slam but the champion was too heavy and fell on top of him. Nira tried a distraction tactic and asked Ibushi to say his 7 times tables and his 2 time tables. The distraction gave Nira enough time to recover and hit Ibushi with the dreaded Rocket Punch. Too bad Ibushi noticed one of his boot laces was untied and he bent over to fix it. Nira flew over Ibushi and the Rocket Punch missed its target. Ibushi then hit Nira with a Lariat and finished him off with multiple Power Bombs to end one of the more bizarre title defences in Ibushi’s career.

DJ Nira was beaten so badly he had to be placed on a table and stretchered out to the back. However, Gorgeous Matsuno kept him in the ring since they had a tag team match against KUDO & Makoto Oishi beginning next. Nira was a non-factor for most of the match even with his opponents trying to keep him standing. After that match, Nira said he decided to cash in tonight because he heard Tsurumi Amon say the Budokan Hall show was cancelled. Amon had no idea where he got that idea from. Nira blamed Amon for his defeat, saying that this show was supposed to be his Budokan moment. He then crawled back onto the stretcher table and asked to be carried away (I managed to get four paragraphs out of a DJ Nira match. I think that’s some sort of achievement.)

Seiya Morohashi continued to wrestle as Shuji Ishikawa’s replacement, taking the big man’s place in the main event. HARASHIMA regained momentum heading towards Budokan Hall after he pinned Shigehiro Irie with the Somato. Afterwards, he brought out Togi Makabe to talk about their upcoming match against Ishikawa & Ryuji Ito. They confirmed it will be a Hardcore match. When Makabe noticed that Ishikawa wasn’t here, he asked where that “muppet” was. When told that Shuji has rubella, Makabe said that was a fine excuse. HARASHIMA vowed that he and Makabe will win.

The friendly competition within Monster Army continued when the Crying Wolf side faced the Familia side in a 6-Man Tag. The Familia brought in an unexpected cornergirl, Yoshiko from Stardom. However, Yoshiko cost her team the match and Antonio Honda revealed her as a spy for Crying Wolf! Honda said that she and Tanomusaku Toba are the final members of their football team for Budokan Hall.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is back from Bolivia and just as active as ever. Nine title changes occured at the show. Choun-Shiryu got revenge on Yuki Sato for ambushing him a few weeks ago by doing the same to win the title. Then during the scheduled title match, Hiroshi Fukuda wound up as the winner. Gorgeous Matsuno then won the belt. Then Matsuno lost it to Makoto Oishi during their tag team match which also included KUDO and a disappointed DJ Nira. Fukuda ran down to the ring to win the belt again before fleeing. Matsuno caught up with Fukuda at the end of the show and left Shin-Kiba as the latest champion.

New World Japan attacked Rion Mizuki as he made his entrance for the opener. After the defeat, Sanshiro Takagi offered to buy Mizuki’s robe for 500,000 yen. Mizuki refused and after a lot of arguing, Takagi said he was going to spend 10 million yen to make the greatest robe ever in time for Budokan Hall.

Tsurumi Amon today held a press conference to explain the rules for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal. There is also some new information on what prizes are on offer. The rules are as follows:

– It is a Royal Rumble match with the bonus of having five seperate envelopes hanging above the ring. Inside each envelope is a contract. The first competitor to grab hold of an envelope will win the prized contract kept inside. Nobody knows which envelope contains which contract.

– The winner of the Battle Royal itself will earn a KO-D Openweight Title shot to be held on May 4th in Korakuen Hall. When a competitor wins a contract he takes no further part in the match.

– Elimination occurs by pinfall, submission, disqualification and being thrown over the top rope and having both feet the floor outside.

– A competitor only gains possession of the contract when the taking of the envelope is approved and confirmed by Tsurumi Amon. The General Manager’s decision is final.

– There are four different prizes on offer with a total of five contracts on the line.

1. “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder gets to challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title at any DDT event at any time until the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall on 18th August. Two of these contracts will be on the line.

2. “Right To Challenge Tag Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder and a partner of his choice gets to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Title at any DDT show, at any time until the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall on 18th August.

3. “Performance Rights Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder gets to set up his own DDT show at anytime in any location. Of course, the holder is obligated to pay a fee to DDT based on box office earnings. There is no deadline in place for when the contract expires.

4. “Ken Ohka Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder can choose to become the next Ken Ohka at anytime. Being Ken Ohka will involve the person becoming a shop manager for DDT and hanging out with female wrestlers while having ulterior motives.

As you can see, there are many prizes on offer. Tsurumi Amon explained that he wants to give the DDT roster as many chances as possible to get involved in the Budokan Hall show.
