Ken Ohka is feeling flustered after the Korakuen Hall seating chart for this show appeared on screen during Sunday’s DDT show revealing many unsold tickets. Ohka said Amon Tsurumi put that on the screen without his permission. Ohka has promised to retire if the show doesn’t sell out. Not only that but a lot of money was borrowed to put this show together. If that isn’t bad enough their T-shirt design for the occasion hasn’t been completed yet and the DVD team are too busy putting together a Ganbare Vs Tomodachi-gun release so they can’t immediately work on editing the Korakuen show as soon as it ends. Also Yumehito Imanari wants to put his match with Viper on the DVD even though that has nothing to do with the Tomodachi-gun feud.

Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. LiLiCo’s New Boyfriend Decision 4 Way Match: X (w/ Sanshiro Takagi) Vs X (w/ Amon Tsurumi) Vs X (/w Yukinori Matsui) Vs X (/w Danshoku Dino)

The 5 Way Match to determine LiLiCo’s fiancee fell apart when Danshoku Dino won the match on behalf of Suguru Miyatake. The problem was in the end Miyatake wanted to marry for love not fame, so he declined to marry LiLiCo. Fearing a public relations disaster, Dino and some of the senior members of DDT are now scrambling to find a new boyfriend for LiLiCo. Whoever they turn out to be, they must fight for LiLiCo’s love.

Yuu thinks Rika Tatsumi has a cute look but that makes her soft. Tatsumi can’t put into words why she thinks she can win the title from Yuu but it isn’t luck.

Two changes to the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster has been announced. First, Marika Kobashi will be taking six months off from wrestling at the end of October. During that time she will finish her junior high school term and then prepare for her high school entrance exam. She is expected to return next spring, either March or April.

Secondly, Yuka Sakazaki will also take a leave of absence from Tokyo Joshi. Due to her recent performances she decided to travel to Magic Country and begin warrior training to become stronger. It is unknown how long this will take. In the meantime Yuka is sending her previously unacknowledged twin sister from Magic Country to take her place in Tokyo Joshi. Yuka’s sister is a masked luchadora named Mil Clown. She cannot speak any human language so she carries a teddy bear called Kumaun to talk on her behalf.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 14 ~MIDDLE ELECTION~” Results

September 14, 2016

kasukabe-upupgirls

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 14 ~MIDDLE ELECTION~”, 14/09/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
306 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano defeated Mad Polly and Mizuki Watase when Urano pinned Watase with a Cradle (7:18).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Cherry defeated Gota Ihashi & Kouki Iwasaki when Hiroshi pinned Ihashi with the Perfect Plex (8:20).
3. Kazuki Hirata & Daiki Shimomura defeated Soma Takao & Rekka when Hirata pinned Rekka with the Egoist Driver (8:34).
4. Fantastic Memories Vs Bad Comi: Ken Ohka & KAI defeated Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii when KAI pinned Ishii with the Splash Plancha (8:36).
5. Infomercial Match – Up Up Girls Nippon Budokan Great Battle: Sanshiro Takagi, Guanchulo & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Takagi pinned Oishi with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (8:01).
6. Yoshihiro Takayama, Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi when Higuchi submitted Takanashi with the Canadian Backbreaker (11:17).
7. Special 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo and Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (16:02).

Before the main event began Antonio Honda had to hold Konosuke Takeshita away from Tetsuya Endo so they wouldn’t start fighting. They eventually did get their hands on each other during the match but others got in their way. Daisuke Sasaki hit Takeshita with a Tope Suicida. Endo then attached a collar around Takeshita’s neck and pulled him with a leash away from ringside. HARASHIMA wound up winning the match for his team but Takeshita returned to the ring furious at what Endo did to him. He tried to get after Endo but accidentaly hit Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi instead. When everyone calmed down HARASHIMA told DAMNATION he will settle their problems at Korakuen Hall when the KO-D Tag Team Titles are on the line.

The super heavyweight trio of Yoshihiro Takayama, Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi went after Shuten-dōji’s smallest wrestler, Masahiro Takanashi. The strategy paid off. Once Higuchi got his hands on Takanashi and stretched him with the Canadian Backbreaker it was all over. Meanwhile Yukio Sakaguchi got into a strike and ground exchange with Yoshihiro Takayama that led to them fighting outside of the ring.

As part of the Infomerical Match, the Up Up Girls were in attendance to promote their upcoming concert in Budokan Hall. They invited NωA to play their song “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU” and the girls even joined in for the chorus. The girls also got involved in the match but only to chop Makoto Oishi in the chest while Sanshiro Takagi held him back. After the match the group performed their new song “!!!!!!!! (Bang Bang Bang)”. Takagi then invited them to perform at “DDT FES 2016”. Oishi asked if NωA could come too. Takagi said no.

Nobody was more happy to see Bad Comi win their match than KAI. He excitedly told Ken Ohka they should continue their momentum to win the Dramatic General Election. Amon Tsurumi yelled at them for campaigning for votes inside the ring which is against the rules.

The full list of entrants for the DNA Grand Prix was announced during intermission. Among the regular wrestlers there is also Royce Isaacs from Colorado, USA as the previously advertised mystery foreign wrestler and Yuki Uedo, a 21 year old from Osaka who is making his debut. Uedo was Takeshita’s classmate in high school.

Kota Umeda tore his right ACL and also injured his right femur during Sunday’s show in Hanamatsu. Surgery is required so Umeda will unfortunately be out of action for a while. That means he has to miss both the DNA Grand Prix and the Dramatic General Election. Umeda said he currently feels miserable because his immediate goal was to beat Kazusada Higuchi and win the Grand Prix. Also with KUDO just after returning from injury, Umeda was looking forward to Shuten-dōji rampaging through DDT as a four man group. He promises to begin his rampage when he returns.

Another month another tournament for BASARA. This time FUMA came up with an idea to do a tag team league to prove IRON PRIEST’s dominance. But in order to fit in the schedule the tournament will be a playoff instead. It is called the IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT in tribute to the Motorhead song and FUMA keeps calling it a Rock Festival instead of a Tag Tournament. Joining the tournament are teams representing BASARA’s units, Sportiva Entertainment and ZERO1. FUMA decided only he and Yusuke Kubo will be there flying the IRON PRIEST flag. He thinks they won’t need Madoka to help them. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT are back together. Hiroshi is confident in his own abilities but worries the burden is too much for SAGAT to bear. Surprisingly Gouma Ryu was able to convince Masamune to team with him. Apparently Masamune would have teamed with Isami Kodaka but Kodaka picked Takumi Tsukamoto instead.

September 6, 2016

From 15th to 18th September DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro will be providing wrestling matches at the annual Tokyo Game Show in Makuhari Messe, Chiba. Each day will have two sessions taking place containing two or three matches. The Ring☆Dream online game will be collaborating with DDT on the 15/9 event, which will have five matches. The matches might find their way to Youtube but I don’t know if DDT’s channel will have them or another channel will.

*DAMNATION becomes the 26th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

After over two months of inactivity we now have new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! The finals of the tournament took place in Saitama and in the end DAMNATION tore through NωA and Shuten-dōji to claim the belts. Daisuke Sasaki said DAMNATION will continue to overwhelm DDT when Shuji Ishikawa wins the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall.

The 4 Way Match presented a unique preview of the “PETER PAN 2016” main event. Ishikawa will definitely be facing the KO-D Champion but the champion could be Toru Owashi instead of Konosuke Takeshita. Kazusada Higuchi was also there as a potential wild card. Takeshita looked to have the match won when he weakened Owashi with a Lariat and Blue Thunder Bomb but Owashi caught him by surprise with an Inside Cradle and pinned the champion out of nowhere. Owashi told Takeshita that two days from now the fun will be over when they fight for the KO-D Title.

With Antonio Honda translating for him, Mike Bailey told the audience he isn’t satisfied with his tour yet because he has a lot more to do in Japan. Today’s DDT debut is only the beginning of Mike Bailey. He is anxious to team with Dick Togo at Sumo Hall because to him, Togo is the most successful wrestler in the world.

This months Infomercial Match was sponsored by the book store Shosen. The match would consist of five rounds between the two teams with different rules to represent the different shop floors found in Shosen stores. Round 1 was one count pinfalls. Danshoku Dino immediately pinned Kazuki Hirata. Round 2 was two count pinfalls. Saki Akai tied the score when she pinned Super Sasadango Machine. From there Akai’s team won the remaining rounds. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi submitted Gota Ihashi in Round 3 where submissions were needed to win. Akai kicked Ihashi out of the ring in Round 4 with Over The Top Rope rules. Finally Round 5 was just a normal match and Akai pinned Dino to end the series 4-1 in favour of her team.

KENSO had to fight Sanshiro Takagi in a 5 minute Iron Man Match to earn a spot on the “PETER PAN 2016” card. The match ended 1-1 but regardless of the outcome KENSO’s fate was left in the hands of three judges: DDT staff member Hisaya Imabayashi, Shukan Puroresu’s DDT correspondent Asata Kato and legendary wrestler Mitsuo Momota. The judges’ scorecards were 30-27, 28-30 and 30-2 resulting in a 2-1 victory for Takagi. KENSO complained about the 30-2 score from Momota. Momota straight up told KENSO he doesn’t want to see him wrestle in Sumo Hall! KENSO said he loves the DDT fans and wanted nothing more than to be at “PETER PAN 2016”. Takagi had a change of heart and told KENSO he can wrestle at Sumo Hall. He then told him about the upcoming DDT Dramatic General Election. It is mentally exhausting to campaign for votes but it will prove once and for all what the DDT fans think of KENSO. KENSO said he has experience with elections because he helped his wife Hiroko Suzuki campaign for her seat in the Funabashi City Council. He agreed to enter and is determined to finish first.

Chikara appeared at the start of the show to announce his participation for “PETER PAN 2016”. He is honoured to wrestle in the same building his father Mitsuo Momota wrestled in many times throughout his career. It was decided that while he was here in Kasukabe Hall he will wrestle in an impromptu match. Yumehito Imanari came out complaining that DDT yet again forgot to organise a King Of Dark Title match in advance. Chikara offered his Power Of Dreams friend to be his opponent. Amon Tsurumi excitedly agreed with the idea and made the match there and then. Chikara did his many Chops but Imanari scored the win with a Samson Clutch, meaning Chikara is now the King Of Dark Champion! Chikara was told he will have to fight in the Sumo Hall dark match unless he wins a DDT dark match before then. He’ll have one chance to get rid of the title at the first show of Beer Garden week.

4. Shunma Katsumata & Guanchulo Vs Mike Bailey & Kouki Iwasaki
5. Mizuki Watase Vs Kengo Mashimo
6. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda

Oh dear. Maybe Kengo Mashimo will go easy on Mizuki Watase. Nah!

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 13”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Semi Final: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO

7. Special 4 Way Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Toru Owashi Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Kazusada Higuchi

Very interesting 4 Way Match taking place here. The two participants in the “PETER PAN 2016” main event are in the match but that can change that drastically if Toru Owashi takes the fall and loses his Right To Challenge Contract. Heck, Kazusada Higuchi could argue for a spot in the main event were he to pin either Konosuke Takeshita or Shuji Ishikawa.

He challenged both of them to a Tag Team match but didn’t realise he needed a partner. Amon Tsurumi solved that problem by pairing him with Bailey.
