4. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Kota Umeda defeated HARASHIMA, Soma Takao, Mike Bailey & Mizuki Watase when KUDO pinned Watase with the Diving Double Knee Drop (11:51).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Diego with La Mistica Cross Facelock (15:07.
*V3 for Daisuke Sasaki.
6. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Yasu Urano when Ishii pinned Urano with the Kneel Kick (24:59).

Keisuke Ishii celebrated a successful box office in his family’s hometown of Tokorozawa. In the main event Ishii teamed with Shigehiro Irie fresh off of Irie’s latest excursion to America. They were victorious over Konosuke Takeshita & Yasu Urano after the Beast Bomber followed by the Kneel Kick kept Urano down for the count. Ishii was happy with how the match turned out and he thanked the other three for getting involved. Ishii also asked Irie to team with him again because they make for a strong pairing. Irie told Ishii that they will be opponents on 23rd November for the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles match at Korakuen Hall. Irie will have to fight him because he wants to be a champion.

Diego failed to win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title from Daisuke Sasaki. The two butted heads after the match and said some words in the heat of the moment after the match. Diego can’t remember what was said because he took so much damage during the match. In his post-match interview, Sasaki recalled the first time he met Diego. He was wrestling in Bolivia and came across this strange person who was able to speak to him in Japanese. He kept telling him he really wanted to go to Japan and wrestle there. Their paths would cross again a few times until Diego, then known as Guanchulo, finally made his way to Japan to wrestle for DDT. Sasaki’s next title defence is against Shinichiro Tominaga in Ganbare☆Wrestling. However, Sasaki wants to defend the belt against TAKA Michinoku somewhere else instead.

Today was KUDO’s first match back after the concussion from last month. It was also Kota Umeda’s first DDT match since September 2016. Shuten-dōji held a toast for the successful returns of them both. KUDO said that at last all four “sake drinks” are in stock again. Now it is time to go get some championships!

NωA invited Keisuke Ishii’s father to become the newest member of their group. He thanked them for the offer but turned them down because he wants to stay in Tokorozawa with his family.

Everybody entering the Fresh Ariyama Greengrocer Cup Rumble came equipped with a different vegetable provided by the match sponsor. Each wrestler had to take a bite out of their vegetable when they entered the ring and tell the audience how delicious it tastes. Tetsuya Endo didn’t do it so Mad Paulie had to stuff an onion into his mouth to prevent him from being disqualified. Paulie’s prize for winning the match was a bunch of matsutake mushrooms. Endo had to stop him from immediately eating all of it.

Makoto Oishi, Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi met in the ring at the start of the show to promote the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles match on 23rd November. Takagi brought up the mystery captain of the YaroZ team and accidentally let slip that it is Shiro Koshinaka. He and Owashi quickly fled the ring when he realised what he did.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SMILE YES SHINJUKU”, 23/11/2017
Shinjuku FACE

1. Maho Kurone Vs Yuki Kamifuku
2. Maki Ito & Mizuki Vs Nodoka-oneesan & Marika Kobashi
3. Hyper Misao Return Match: Hyper Misao Vs Rika Tatsumi
4. Saki-sama Vs Azusa Takigawa
5. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Nonoko & Yuna Manase
6. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuu (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The No. 1 Contendership for the TOKYO Princess Title will be between Miyu Yamashita and Yuu. If Yuu is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion then that belt will be on the line too. Their only previous singles match took place in September 2016 when Yuu beat Yamashita to win the Princess Title. Yamashita has promised to attack, attack, attack and attack to avenge her loss.

The Miraclians are not taking their first challengers lightly. Yuka Sakazaki lost to the Super Milk Combination in a non-title tag match last week. She sees them as a giant gate to climb over. Shoko Nakajima also knows that the challengers’ team name is not a gag, it’s a description of their strength. Nonoko & Yuna Manase want to use their big chests to overpower the champion team’s speed and technical abilities.

Hyper Misao is back in action after an ACL and meniscus surgery took her out of action for over 10 months. Her debut match took place in Shinjuku FACE so her return match in the same venue feels like a re-debut. Rika Tatsumi is her chosen opponent. They went to see the movie “IT” together recently and Tatsumi had to restrain herself from figuring out what Misao’s match strategy will be.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “I LOVE YOU MUSCAT 2017”, 26/11/2017
Tokyo Seijo Hall

1. Ganjo’s Symbol Vs Shabby Thick Makeup!: HARUKAZE Vs Sumire Natsu
2. Ganpuro “Kotori” Farewell Rumble!: “Kotori” Vs X
3. Ken Ohka Debut 16th Anniversary Memorial Match ~Toryumon 7th Graders Vs Sayama Sayama~: Ken Ohka & “brother” YASSHI Vs Shota & Yumehito Imanari
4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs DAMNATION!: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Daisuke Sasaki

No word yet on if the main event will be for the Indy World Jr. Title. I expect so if Sasaki beats Diego. Shinichiro Tominaga deserves it after his Amateurs Vs Professionals comparison at the last show.

It’s a Toryumon reunion of sorts for Ken Ohka’s 16th Anniversary.

“DIFFER CUP MEMORIAL 2017”, 28/11/2017
Differ Ariake

1. Differ Cup 2017 – Round 1: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno Vs Jun Kasai & Tomoya Hirata

It will be two months before the KO-D Openweight Title will be defended again.

Dino’s reason is DDT has so many championships now that they need to give time for other the other titles to be defended. Colt Cabana sent a message at “DDT SPECIAL 2017” challenging the winner of Konosuke Takeshita Vs Dino to put the belt on the line against him. Cabana gets his shot against Takeshita on Christmas Eve.

ambush-foiled

Unfortunately for the hometown hero, Keisuke Ishii failed to win the All Asia Tag Team Titles with Shigehiro Irie. The current champions Yankee Two Kenju isolated Ishii and hit him with move after move until he was down for the count. Ishii showed brief signs of life when he suddenly caught Isami Kodaka with a Frankensteiner but his Kneel Kick was stopped with the Isamuashi Zan to end the match. Kodaka thanked the fans for cheering because it heated them up on a very cold day. The match was good preparation for his KO-D Openweight Title defence against Masa Takanashi.

Speaking of Takanashi, he ambushed Kodaka with a radish backstage after the show. Yuko Miyamoto saved Kodaka by throwing a box full of vegetables at Takanashi. They left Takanashi lying on the floor underneath the box crying. Guanchulo then walked past Takanashi, ignored him and grabbed one of the vegetables to eat.

The Battle Royal was sponsored by a local greengrocer. Every wrestler was given a vegetable they had to eat in the ring and say how delicious it was in order to compete in the match. If a wrestler could not do a convincing job advertising the vegetable they would be instantly eliminated. Thankfully everybody involved did their part with no hassle. Antonio Honda was rewarded with a basket of aloe from the greengrocer for winning the match.

Seiya Morohashi complained that a man like himself who has been wrestling for 18 years does not deserve to be in the dark match. He said he would crush Gota Ihashi. Then he got pinned in 9 seconds to become the new King Of Dark Champion. Morohashi begged for a rematch and this time he quickly beat Ihashi to transfer the belt back over to him. One more rematch was agreed to but was forced to end in a draw after 3 minutes right when Ihashi was about to do a Moonsault.

DDT “DRAMATIC TENMABASHI! 2016”, 11/01/2016
Osaka Oyodo Community Center

0. Chapter 0 Match: Dai Suzuki Vs Guanchulo

7. Isami Kodaka, Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo

Daisuke Sasaki and Candice LeRae get to team together on both shows this weekend after Sasaki’s proposal.

HARASHIMA has a chance to avenge his loss to Masa Takanashi.

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.

DDT “KEISUKE ISHII PRODUCE ~NEW YEAR! PINK KNEEL KICK 2016~”, 23/01/2016
Saitama Tokorozawa Citizen Gymnasium Sub Arena

1. Yasu Urano Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Soma Takao Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
3. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

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!

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2016”, 31/01/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

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

KENSO finally gets to go one on one with Sanshiro Takagi. The match will have special rules yet to be determined.
