Saitama Kasukabe Hall

*V3 for Team Dream Futures.

The strained relationship between KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi is getting worse. Sakaguchi was pinned by Shigehiro Irie in the main event, costing Shuten-dōji their chance to reclaim the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. KUDO was pissed that his Sumo Hall opponent lost the match because it makes both of them look weak. Masa Takanashi tried to calm them down but KUDO left the ring on his own. Sakaguchi took the blame and requested to be taken off the Sumo Hall main event, citing that he does not feeld qualified to be in the KO-D Openweight Title match. He bowed to Amon Tsurumi as an apology. Irie suddenly jumped back into the ring and also bowed. Tsurumi decided that Sakaguchi and Irie will have a match at the next Korakuen Hall show to prove who deserves to main event Sumo Hall.

Kota Umeda was hoping to show off all the hard work he has been doing in DNA. Unfortunately he was put in the ring with Danshoku Dino who was in a pretty horny mood. After Dino won the match he tried to get his hands on Umeda as well as the other DNA wrestlers Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu.

There was an in-ring debate to determine the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. The debate was between Hiroshi Fukuda, Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda, Gota Ihashi, Makoto Oishi and Yasu Urano with Amon Tsurumi and the champion Akito overlooking everything. Ihashi was not supposed to be involved in the debate but he explained he would put the King Of Dark Title on the line to make it a dark match double championship bout if he became the No. 1 Contender. Ihashi wanted to challenge Akito to a Better Dish Death Match. He would win because he cooks better meals. Nobody liked the idea and Ihashi was thrown out of the ring. Tsurumi then started yelling at Urano, blaming him for Ken Ohka breifly winning the KO-D Title two weeks ago. Tsurumi was so mad that he took off his afro and threw it out of the ring! Urano apologised but it was too late, he’s going to get a King of Dark Title match instead! That’s not all, Ihashi only needs to pin Urano for one second to win the match!

Urano was taken out of the ring by some DNA wrestlers and the debate continued. Fukuda said he wants to be the first American to win the Extreme Title. He wants to fight Akito in a Showa Kayo Death Match. Hirata said it should be him and Akito in a TOKYO Dancing Death Match. Honda talked about the impressive line of defences Akito has been through and said he wants the title match so he can fight the best DDT has to offer. Finally Oishi suggested an Idol Lumberjack match. Akito picked Honda as his next challenger. Their match will have no ring ropes and can end by Ring Out.

Kota Ibushi got to try on the HIRATA GO! glasses in Match #2. Hirata and Suguru Miyatake both wore a pair during the final moments of the match and somehow pinned each other to end it in a draw.

Fukuda tried to get on HARASHIMA’s good side before their match by asking who his favourite singer is. HARASHIMA said Yūzō Kayama. Later on Fukuda started singing one of Kayama’s songs “The Sea, Its Love”. HARASHIMA and Antonio Honda both joined in. Fukuda & Honda’s attempt to sneak attack HARASHIMA during the song backfired and HARASHIMA hit the Somato on Fukuda to win.

An angry Gota Ihashi emerged after the dark match and challenged Kouki Iwasaki to an immediate King Of Dark Title bout. Ihashi went on the offensive from the start but missed a Moonsault. Iwasaki capitalised and pinned Ihashi with La Magistral Cradle to avoid “winning” the title.

June 6, 2015

diving-knee-gin-tonic

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 SAITAMA”, 06/06/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) defeated Suguru Miyatake with a Cross Body Attack (3:43).
*Gota Ihashi passes D12. Suguru Miyatake becomes the 2nd King Of Dark Champion.

6. 3 Way Match: KUDO defeated Danshoku Dino and Soma Takao when KUDO pinned Dino with the Diving Double Knee Drop (9:10).
*KUDO wins one of Danshoku Dino’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts.
7. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Kota Umeda with the Cross Facelock (13:00).
8. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Kota Ibushi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Sit Down Last Ride (7:31).

10. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano with the Package Piledriver (24:44).

An eventful King Of DDT 1st Round filled up the majority of today’s show. Yukio Sakaguchi beat Keisuke Ishii and compared the tournament to climbing a mountain. Makoto Oishi overcame Hiroshi Fukuda’s shenanigans and used Fukuda’s USA flag to celebrate afterwards. Masa Takanashi attacked Akito as he entered the ring. Akito countered the Takatonic into a Knee Crusher but Takanashi withstood the pain and cradled Akito for the fast victory. Takanashi stole the DDT Extreme Title afterwards but gave it back when HARASHIMA confronted him backstage. Konosuke Takeshita bested Antonio Honda in the battle of Happy Motels. Takeshita hopes to fight for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall this year instead of facing a guest wrestler like last time. Daisuke Sasaki went over Kota Umeda. Sasaki planned on Umeda relying too much on High Kicks and he was right. Kazuki Hirata going full blast right from the start wasn’t enough to beat Kota Ibushi. The HIRATA GO glasses were placed on Ibushi’s face but he quickly took them off so he could win the match. Kazusada Higuchi restarted his journey towards another KO-D Title shot by overpowering Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Finally Shigehiro Irie earned a hard fought victory over Yasu Urano.

The 2nd round matches on 14th June are Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kota Ibushi and Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shigehiro Irie.

Well this is a first. The reigning KO-D Champion now has possession of a Right To Challenge Contract. KUDO wiped out both Danshoku Dino and Soma Takao in a 3 Way Match. Takao had Dino in position for the Gin And Tonic when KUDO hit the Diving Double Knee Drop on Takao. KUDO then hit a second Diving Double Knee Drop this time on Dino to win one of his two contracts. Amon Tsurumi decided that if KUDO is still holding both the KO-D Title and the contract at the 9th August Beer Garden show (the last DDT event before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”) then the contract will be declared invalid and removed from contention.

ohka-window

KUDO and Tsurumi were then interrupted when Ken Ohka showed up outside the building and stood on two chairs at the window with a microphone. He said he was monitoring KUDO and then promoted tomorrow’s Ganbare☆Wrestling show in Tokyo. Tsurumi told Ohka it’s dangerous to stand next to the glass like that. KUDO said Ohka has certainly changed but he will crush him anytime. KUDO then said he hopes to defend the belt and then have a toast at Sumo Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi and the Arrogant Bastards were determined to successfully perform the DEATH FROM ABOVE Diving Headbutt. They finally succeeded on the third try and got the win. The Bastards were informed they only have two more dates left on their Japan visit and they requested to add one more before leaving. They were told the only extra show available is a Ganbare☆Wrestling event taking place tomorrow. Neither knew what that company was but they accepted the gig none the less.

At last Gota Ihashi has escaped from his dark match nightmare. An angry Ihashi went into his King Of Dark Title defence complaining about forever being an opening act. As Suguru Miyatake was about to respond, Ihashi attacked him to start the match. Ihashi quickly went for a Moonsault but missed. However a Cross Body Block shockingly got him the three count and transferred the King Of Dark Title over to Miyatake.

MIZUHO is unable to wrestle due to poor health. However she will be in attendance to perform a song with her group SEXY PANIC.

Chikage Kiba has again opted not to wrestle due to a lack of practice. She’s been unable to train lately (I think she is currently in college) and only wants to wrestle when she is satisfied with her progress.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 2” Results

May 10, 2015

higuchi-backbreaker

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 2”, 10/05/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. King Of Dark Title: Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma defeated Gota Ihashi (c) & DJ Nira when Masayuki pinned Nira with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (4:30).
*D10 for Gota Ihashi. Mitomi Masayuki wins DJ Nira’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
1. Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Shunma Katsumata when Akito submitted Katsumata with a Scorpion Deathlock (8:38).
2. Soma Takao defeated Suguru Miyatake with a Diving Foot Stomp (7:11).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda when Ishii pinned Fukuda after a Double Brainbuster (12:20).
4. Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, MIKAMI & X = Shiori Asahi defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai when Asahi pinned Akai with a Backslide Pin (10:56).
5. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Konosuke Takeshita by Countout (16:23).
6. 3 Way Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano and KUDO & Masa Takanashi when Higuchi submitted Takanashi with the Canadian Backbreaker (14:30).

The DNA team surpassed expectations and were victorious in the main event 3 Way Match. Kazusada Higuchi stopped HARASHIMA from hitting the Somato and laid him out with the Goten. Masa Takanashi tried to sneak a pin but Higuchi caught him and applied his Modified Canadian Backbreaker to make him submit. KUDO looked on in interest knowing that when he cashes in he will be fighting either HARASHIMA or Higuchi for the KO-D Openweight Title.

Daisuke Sasaki has made it his goal to collect all of the Right To Challenge Contracts. However this means he is also willing to get cheap wins to avoid losing any of them. Sasaki lured Konosuke Takeshita outside the ring and was chased over to the entrance stage. They both climbed up the entrance gate but Sasaki quickly jumped off and tried to run back to the ring. Takeshita caught up and they brawled until Sasaki found an open closet and trapped his opponent inside. Sasaki made it back to the ring in time while Takeshita got counted out. Sasaki later demanded a 3 Way match between himself, KUDO and Kazusada Higuchi for 17th May.

Sanshiro Takagi predicted X was going to be Shiori Asahi. He was correct. He got to dance with Saki Akai when the HIRATA GO glasses came into play. He also pinned Akai with a Backslide Pin that involved shoving both his and Akai’s heads into the bare asses of Makoto Oishi and Danshoku Dino respectively before doing the move properly.

One of the contracts is now in Union hands. Mitomi Masayuki pinned DJ Nira in the dark match to win his contract. Masayuki said he doesn’t know when he will cash in but he wants to do it on a Union show.

It was revealed the Right To Challenge Contract holders will not be allowed compete in this year’s King Of DDT tournament.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 2”, 10/05/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) & DJ Nira Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma
1. Soma Takao Vs Suguru Miyatake
2. Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Shunma Katsumata

5. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu

DNA rookies Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu are thrusted into the main event with big implications depending on the result. Higuchi and KUDO both have Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts and both have made their intentions clear to cash in later this month. Getting pinned would devastate either man’s plan.

The King Of Dark Title only changes hands if Gota Ihashi pins or submits one of his opponents. No title change if DJ Nira gets the win.

*V1 for Akito.

The DDT Extreme Title was up for grabs in a gruelling 60 minute Ironman match, continuing the trend of the championship being defended in serious skill-based matches. The champion Akito had already lost to the challenger Daisuke Sasaki in March. A rematch went 30 minutes without a winner and now even 60 minutes isn’t enough to determine who is more worthy of being champion. Sasaki scored the first fall with a Hurricanrana but Akito equalised with a Scorpion Armlock submission. Akito thought outside of the box with La Mistica into the Crossface Lock to go ahead again. A double countout occurred shortly afterwards when the two fought outside and did what they could to prevent the other from re-entering the ring. Akito made it a tie score at the 45th minute with the Kinniku Big Move. In the dying moments of the match Sasaki used TAKA Michinoku’s Dick Killer submission (Sasaki was trained by Dick Togo, the wrestler TAKA designed the move to use against) but Akito persevered until the bell rang to end the match at 2 falls a piece. A draw would have counted as a successful defence for Akito but the champion refused and wanted the match to restart so they could determine a winner. Sudden death overtime began and the two were able to fight for 6 more minutes until Akito finally got the better of Sasaki with an Arm Clutch Figure Four Leglock. With nowhere to escape Sasaki had to give up. After the match the two reminisced about their first matches together at the Monthly Young Communication shows DDT used to do. Akito said he will continue to wrestle Sasaki any number of times in the future if they can.

Akito pointed out that his next title defence will be in Nagoya on 17th May. He nominated Shigehiro Irie as his next challenger since Nagoya is a place close to Irie’s heart. Irie was “amazingly happy” to be chosen and he knows he will be fighting the best.

HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano signalled their intentions to go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after beating Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao. Ishii has no time to worry about that. His full attention is on the KO-D Tag Team Title shot at the end of the month.

We almost had the first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract cash in. Hiroshi Fukuda entered the ring after the BOYZ Vs YaroZ match with the intention of challenging a tired Kota Ibushi for the KO-D Openweight Title. Problem is Ibushi wasn’t feeling tired. In fact he was ready to wrestle again there and then. Fukuda suddenly got cold feet and changed his mind. He remembered he has other errands to attend to and will challenge Ibushi another time. Amon Tsurumi told Fukuda he could cash in after the Ibushi Vs HARASHIMA match at Korakuen Hall. Fukuda played dumb and acted like he wasn’t sure what time that show is taking place before leaving the ring.

The YaroZ team had a secret weapon prepared for their BOYZ opponents. Brother Tommy introduced another MC midway through the match, Rashiki Ihashi. Unfortunately Ihashi’s interference backfired and cost YaroZ the match. Sanshiro Takagi was annoyed by losing because of an outside party and demanded a rematch without any interference from either side. BOYZ Vs YaroZ will have one final match at the 29th April Korakuen Hall show.

Before the latest Tokyo GO! match took place, Yukio Sakaguchi presented KUDO with the HIRATA GO glasses he wore in Yokohama. KUDO stubbornly refused to wear them. Kazuki Hirata came down to the ring angry that his glasses were stolen by Sakaguchi but he luckily had a spare one with him. As the match went on KUDO was eventually convinced to put on the glasses to go against Hirata’s. KUDO brought an end to the nonsense when he kicked Hirata in the head so hard the glasses flew off.

Ever since Danshoku Dino begun his “Danshoku Life” pilgrimage, MIKAMI has lost to him three times in a row.

Yasu Urano avoided dark match hell when he beat Gota Ihashi in the King of Dark Title match. Urano submitted Ihashi with a tight Headlock, the very same ending that happened in Ihashi’s debut DDT match almost 6 years ago.

Ken Ohka returns to Union to team with Mio Shirai one more time before her retirement from pro wrestling.

There is going to be a Muscle Sakai II but who will it be, Hiroshi Fukuda or Super Sasadango Machine…? Something isn’t right about that. Muscle Sakai will present golden baggy pants to the winner. The baggy pants is necessary to identify Muscle Sakai II.

Shirai And Ohka To Team Again, Endo’s King Of Dark Replacement, Super Cinderella

April 14, 2015

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY ANNIVERSARY”, 18/04/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Special Mixed Tag Match: Yukihiro Abe & Manami Kanda Vs Shinichiro Tominaga & Haruka Kato
2. Berserk Mammal Vs Foreign Mystery: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Mr. AKIBA
3. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs K-DOJO: Tiger Bedscene Vs Yoshihiro Horaguchi
4. You Can Bet The Name Of Yoshino: Osamu Namiguchi Vs Kotaro Yoshino
5. Special Single Match: GENTARO Vs Chikara
6. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki (w/ Tomoya Kawamura)

During a promotional event for the show, Mio Shirai appeared and asked Ken Ohka to team up with her on the 29th April Union show at Korakuen Hall. They’ve had their differences in the past. When Shirai began wrestling for Union Ohka became smitten with her. He stalked her but Shirai caught him every time and choked him out with the Figure Four Neck Lock. They later became a tsundere tag team, sticking together until Ohka left Union to form Ganbare☆Wrestling. Ohka at first refused Shirai’s request. After losing the war against Union he feels that he would be lowering himself by returning there. But when Shirai tearfully asked him to reconsider, Ohka changed his mind and agreed to join her on 29th April.

Tomoya Kawamura pulled out of the main event. Taking his place is his Union colleague Mitomi Masayuki returning to Ganbare☆Wrestling for the first time since his suspension.

Mr. AKIBA is an American otaku who approached Ohka for an opportunity to become a wrestler. Once he went away Ohka decided AKIBA will fight the monster J-Soul Pandita III IV.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 1”, 19/04/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Yasu Urano
1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. 4 Way Match: MIKAMI Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda Vs Saki Akai
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Suguru Miyatake

7. DDT Extreme Title – Iron Man Match: Akito (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

30 minutes isn’t enough fo Akito and Daisuke Sasaki. A 60 minute Iron Man Match will determine who deserves to be the DDT Extreme Champion.

Tetsuya Endo’s foot injury has not healed so he will not be able to compete on the show. A replacement was needed for the King Of Dark Title match. Amon Tsurumi picked Yasu Urano to take Endo’s place and “challenge” for the title. Tsurumi explained that during the Right To Challenge Rumble Urano secretly swapped his prize with Endo’s when the referee wasn’t looking. So when it was time to reveal who got what, Urano got the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract while Endo got the King Of Dark Title shot booby prize. Amon (and the audience) knew this at the time but he kept silent on the matter until now. Amon also announced that the winner of the match has to work double duty and will team with HARASHIMA later in the show.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “RAISING AN ARMY ~ BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA~”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA Final: Hong Kong International Police Woman Vs Miyako Matsumato

So far only two women have signed up for Ganbare☆Wrestling’s joshi offshoot. If there are no more additions by the time the show takes place then the BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA tournament will only be one match long. Mio Shirai flatly turned down an invitation to compete.
