Takagi Vs KENSO 60 Minute Iron Man Dark Match

January 18, 2016

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

0. Falls Count Anywhere Iron Man Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs KENSO
0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Hiroshi Fukuda & Mizuki Watase
1. Shunma Katsumata & Kota Umeda Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Guanchulo

6. DDT Extreme Title – Single Match With Partners: Kendo Kashin (c) & X Vs Yasu Urano & Akito
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

The show is scheduled to take place at noon and the doors to Korakuen Hall will open at 11:00 am. The Iron Man Match will begin at 10:50 am because the final 10 minutes before show time needs to be spent preparing the ring and making sure it is ready. It’s the only way a 60 minute match can be added to the card plus it’s Sanshiro Takagi Vs KENSO so nobody’s really missing anything if they arrive late. In their own minds it’s a legendary rivalry that must finally reach a climactic conclusion. In reality? Meh.

Oh, and the King Of Dark Title match is set to take place at the same time as the last 10 minutes of the Ironman match. Things could get messy.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Endo pinned Nakatsu with the Sky Twister Press (23:41).
*V1 for New Generation Combination.

The New Generation Combination got a bit of revenge on Isami Kodaka. Neither of them were able to win the KO-D Openweight Title from him but he wasn’t able to take the KO-D Tag Team Titles from them either. Tetsuya Endo put Ryota Nakatsu away with the Torture Rack Bomb and Sky Twister Press. Kodaka requested a rematch down the line. Takeshita said he would like another single and tag match so he can win both and get a 3-2 record against Kodaka. While this was going on Masa Takanashi suddenly snuck into the ring. Takanashi went for the Takatonic on Kodaka but the champion avoided it and kicked Takanashi in the face.

Daisuke Sasaki approached Amon Tsurumi at the end of the show demanding a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot in March. Tsurumi agreed that Sasaki deserves a shot because his previous title reign had to be vacated. However both Kota Ibushi and Suguru Miyatake are injured so who can Sasaki team with? Tsurumi told Sasaki he’s been emotionally unstable ever since Candice LeRae “dumped” him. Sasaki suddenlt broke down into tears. Tsurumi tried to cheer him up but also mentioned LeRae getting engaged to someone else. In an instant Sasaki attacked Tsurumi with his belt and left the ring. Tsurumi asked the New Gen Combo to help him but they said he was okay.

Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are riding a wave of momentum going into their All Asia Tag Team Title match next week. They distinctly remember the last time they fought Yankee Two Kenju back in December 2013. Ishii remembers being pinned after 13 minutes and 26 seconds. He’s been constantly reminding Irie of that match to motivate the both of them.

According to Masa Takanashi his victory over Yusuke Kubo proves he can win a fair fight. He shook Kubo’s hand after the match but it was all a ruse for his failed ambush later in the show.

Seiya Morohashi stole Kazuki Hirata’s GO! Glasses before Match #4. Hirata went to the Samurai TV! commentary table looking for a replacement pair and took Haruo Murata’s glasses instead. When he put them on he got the song “Yokohama Twilight” playing over the speakers instead of “TOKYO Go!” Rikiya Shindo then handed his glasses to Hirata and the song changed to “Manato No Yoko, Yokohama, Yokosuka”.

When Hirata won the match he grabbed a microphone and was ready to challenge #OhkaEmpire to a rematch for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. However Sanshiro Takagi kicked him aside and instead added a stipulation to his match with KENSO on 31st January. It will be a 60 minute Iron Man Match! Amon Tsurumi came out and told Takagi that the show is too full to have a 60 minute match. They made a deal. The Iron Man match can go ahead but it has to be a pre-show dark match. Korakuen Hall is scheduled to open up exactly one hour before the show starts so the match will begin 10 minutes before the doors open to allow a brief warm up break before the show properly starts. There is a chance the final 10 minutes of the match will clash with the King Of Dark Title bout. Both will happen at the same time if necessary.

Match #2 ended when Guanchulo took off his wrestling gear and revealed he was wearing Danshoku tights. The referee had to call the match off when Guanchulo and Danshoku Dino did Danshoku things to the other wrestlers. Guanchulo said he is now Gaychulo.

6. HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie & Ken Ohka (w/ Idei Shiro) defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda & Keisuke Ishii (w/ Kurumi Naruga) when Irie pinned Honda with the Flying Sausage (15:31).

Back in February of this year DDT teamed up with Ring☆Dream for a special sponsored show in Shinjuku FACE. It was such a hit that they put together a second show right at the tail-end of the year in Korakuen Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi’s team were accompanied by model Kurumi Naruga for the main event. She cosplayed as Takagi’s female character from the game. Shigehiro Irie afterwards complained that his team didn’t get a beautiful woman to cosplay as his character. Instead he got Idei Shiro, one of the game’s artists. Amon Tsurumi then stepped in asking for Ring☆Dream to promote a third show with DDT. He also asked for a pretty cosplayer for himself. A third show was promised for next year.

The 5 Way Match consisted of wrestlers who already have characters in the Ring☆Dream game. The prize for the winner was for their character to be voiced by voice actress Noriko Hidaka. Danshoku Dino was originally supposed to participate in the match as his Ring☆Dream character Joshoku Dino after he was brainwashed by the idol unit backdrops but “she” refused to participate. “She” had no motivation to take part due to the amount of men in the match. Joshoku Dino snapped out of the mind control and became Danshoku Dino again. Now he was motivated to be in the match! He also defended the women from backdrops whenever one of the wrestlers criticised them for being old idols (each member is in their 50s). Dino won the match and convinced Makoto Oishi to love backdrops in the process.

The KO-D Tag Team Champions and the Wonder Of Stardom Champion worked great together in the mixed trios match. Io Shirai showed no fear when she had to wrestle with Yukio Sakaguchi. Tetsuya Endo put Kota Umeda away with a Buckle Bomb followed by the Sky Twister Press.

By winning the Battle Royal Akito will be the next wrestler added to Ring☆Dream. When asked what kind of pretty girl he wants his character to be, Akito said he wants her to be the cutest girl with biggest tits, like an F-Cup.

4. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Nodowa Otoshi (7:55).
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs KENSO & Seiya Morohashi ended in a No Contest when two referees were trapped in a locker (9:59).
6. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu and Akito & Yasu Urano when Honda pinned Akito with the Diving Fist Drop (13:11).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Yuji Okabayashi & Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka when Irie pinned Ohka with the Beast Bomber (19:47).

The big lad team of Yuji Okabayashi & Shigehiro Irie were too strong for HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka. Ohka in particular wasn’t in 100% shape and had to wrestle with bandages wrapped around his stomach. It didn’t make taking a bunch of Lariats any easier for him. A Beast Bomber put him down and out. Okabayashi & Irie will now face Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles on 23rd November. Takeshita & Endo are still sore from losing the titles to Okabayashi & Daisuke Sekimoto back in February. They are determined not to lose the belts to Okabayashi again.

Tetsuya Endo & Antonio Honda both go into Hakata on a wave of momentum. Honda pinned Akito to give him the upper advantage in their No. 1 Contender’s match for the DDT Extreme Title while Endo is now ready for the KO-D Openweight Title match against Isami Kodaka. Honda said soon they will both be champions!

Things were heated between Sanshiro Takagi and KENSO. Takagi made it his goal to stick KENSO in a locker and throw him out of DDT. He is so determined to do this his actually hid a locker beneath the ring and took it out during the match! The two fought to throw each other into the locker but in the end Daisuke Kiso was thrown in instead. Yukinori Matsui tried to intervene but he was thrown into the locker too. KENSO closed the locker and the match had to be called off. He demanded another match with Takagi but Amon Tsurumi came out with a bunch of wrestlers to drag KENSO out of the arena.

The next KO-D Title match after 13th December will take place on 3rd January.

1. 3 Way Match: Ai Shimizu defeated Shoko Nakajima and MIZUHO when Shimixu pinned MIZUHO with the Fishergirl Bomb (4:59).
2. KANNA, Nonoko & Akane Miura defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Azusa Takigawa when KANNA pinned Yamashita with the Spear Of Versailles (8:51).
3. Saki Akamiya & Hyper Misao defeated Erin & Rika Tatsumi when Akamiya pinned Tatsumi with the Two Stage Face Kick (8:29).
4. Right To 1/4 Tokyo Joshi Title Appearance Battle Royal: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nonoko with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:51).
Order Of Elimination: Azusa Takigawa, Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi, Ai Shimizu, KANNA, MIZUHO, Erin, Akane Miura, Yuka Sakazaki and Nonoko.

Shoko Nakajima is back in the 1/4 Tokyo Joshi Pro Title match after she won the main event Battle Royal. In her victory speech she said when she lost the first spot in the match she considered giving up, but she never gives up! It looks like Nakajima’s place in the match is guaranteed unlike her opponent’s.

KANNA’s resurgence in Tokyo Joshi Pro continued with a pinfall win over Miyu Yamashita in the 6-Woman Tag match. Yamashita nominated KANNA as her next opponent with the title match spot on the line. KANNA said her time spent in Biishiki-gun has taught her everything she needs to beat Yamashita.

At the beginning of the show Sanshiro Takagi called out Saki Akamiya so he could confront Tokyo Joshi’s newest evil force. Akamiya came out with Hyper Misao by her side. She called Takagi an old man and said her goal is to take over Tokyo Joshi and change it to her liking. She tried to attack Takagi with her yoyo amulet but Takagi caught it. He struck Akamiya’s iron mask with the yoyo, splitting it in half. The iron mask fell apart and Akamiya was revealed to be Saki Akai! She said this was the first time she ever felt the wind touch her cheeks. Hyper Misao told Takagi that Saki Akamiya is not the same person as Saki Akai. Takagi kicked her away and said he doesn’t believe it. Misao insisted she was telling the truth and promised Takagi that they will protect Tokyo Joshi from any mighty enemy. Misao handed Akamiya a pair of leather gloves to signify their new alliance. Later in the show they defeated Erin & Rika Tatsumi. Akamiya said she is still a villain who exploits people’s weaknesses. Takagi also gave Misao an apple and some marbles for some reason before kicking her again.

0. King Of Dark Title: Sanshiro Takagi (c) defeated KENSO with the Elixir Of Egypt (6:38).
*Sanshiro Takagi passes D4. KENSO becomes the 5th King Of Dark Champion.
1. Kengo Takai, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi defeated Suguru Miyatake, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Takai pinned Iwasaki with the Dera HOF Bomb (7:58).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata and Hiroshi Fukuda & Saki Akai when Hirata pinned Fukuda with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:04).
3. Yasu Urano defeated Soma Takao with a Cradle (7:33).
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine (c) defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Ohka pinned Honda with the Spear Of Flame (13:47).
*V1 for #OhkaEmpire.
5. Keisuke Ishii defeated Akito with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (12:26).
6. Road To OSAKA ~ Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Kodaka pinned Sakaguchi with the Isamuashi Zan (14:45).
7. Owari Nagoya Specialty Special 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki defeated HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie and Kazusada Higuchi when Sasaki submitted Higuchi with La Mistica Cross Face Lock (17:11).

A 4 Way main event saw Daisuke Sasaki come out as the victor. After a week of bad news that saw Sasaki stripped of the KO-D Tag Team Title because of Kota Ibushi’s injury, the time is now for Sasaki to make his own opportunities. He did so by submitting Kazusada Higuchi for the first time in the DNA wrestler’s career. Sasaki said after the match that DDT feels a little lonely now with Ibushi and KUDO both going through a slow recovery process. But he (and Suguru Miyatake) can persevere without them.

Yukio Sakaguchi is growing frustrated over losing to Isami Kodaka in the build up to their title match. Kodaka has been intentionaly doing the Diving Double Knee Drop in their matches to remind Sakaguchi of KUDO. Meanwhile Ryota Nakatsu is very happy with being on Kodaka’s team and hopes they continue wrestling together.

Over the last few days Keisuke Ishii has taken some time to reflect about the generation of DDT wrestlers he is apart of. He lost to Daisuke Sasaki on Monday but scored a win over Akito on this show. Ishii’s goal now is to be the best wrestler of this generation and he cherishes facing the competition ahead of him.

T2Hide challenged #OhkaEmpire to a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match after the champions defeated Happy Motels. Sanshiro Takagi said T2Hide’s track record is proof that they deserve the shot. That track record is Takagi getting rid of the King Of Dark Title and Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata winning the 3 Way Tag Match earlier in the show. Ken Ohka accepted the challenge and it will be held at the 22nd November Hiroshima show.

A power failure interrupted the King Of Dark Title match. When the lights came back on Ultraman Robin was suddenly standing in front of KENSO. Robin charged up, pointed at KENSO and yelled “Destiny!” Sanshiro Takagi then threw a powdery substance known as the Elixir Of Egypt at KENSO, blinding him. Takagi rolled over KENSO for the three count, meaning KENSO is now the King Of Dark Champion! After the match KENSO said he was in a unit called the Dark Kingdom but now he really is in the Dark Kingdom. KENSO challenged Takagi to a rematch but was shot down and slapped across the face. He was told to go to Kasukabe on 8th November for his first title defence. KENSO swore backstage that he will get his rematch with Takagi and force the belt back to him.


Ibushi’s Health Problems Revealed

November 2, 2015

sugabayashi-takagi

After a week long absence from the ring attributed to illness, a press conference was held to discuss the current and future status of Kota Ibushi. Both Sanshiro Takagi and Naoki Sugabayashi were in attendance since the news effected both DDT and New Japan. It was explained that at midnight on 24th October Ibushi picked up a high fever that forced him to be taken off of DDT’s Korakuen Hall show the next day. The illness also cancelled an autograph signing for his new book. During the summer Ibushi had been feeling numbness in the left side of his body. He was sent to a doctor for a check-up and diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc. The decision was made that Ibushi will not be wrestling for either company until he has healed from his injury. According to Takagi, Ibushi has decided not to go under surgery as part of his treatment. There is no time given for how long his recovery will take but Takagi reckons he will be gone until the start of 2016 at the earliest.

In DDT, Ibushi is one half of the KO-D Tag Team Champions with Daisuke Sasaki. Takagi announced that the titles will be vacated and he does not want to interfere with Ibushi’s daily life while he recovers. He wants Ibushi to completely recover and will wait for his return if he has to. Takagi also apologised to Ibushi’s fans for the inconvenience. Sugabayashi said Ibushi’s contract with New Japan which is about to run out will be renewed and he will wait for his return to the company.

On the DDT side of things this injury comes at a bad time. With Ibushi and KUDO both out of action for the time being that is two big absences in the main event scene. HARASHIMA is still there to carry the load as he always does, it’s too early to tell if Yukio Sakaguchi is a draw as the KO-D Openweight Champion, I have no idea how much mileage is in another Danshoku Dino push and Isami Kodaka will be busy with BASARA and his outside bookings. While DDT has done a great job in the last 12 months introducing and debuting new wrestlers, the younger generation hasn’t been fully embraced by the fans judging by the Dramatic General Election results. With a big Sumo Hall show booked for March next year they need something big and if Ibushi hasn’t recovered by then it will put a big dent in that plan. They better pray to whatever deity that can protect HARASHIMA from getting injured.

4. Right To 1/4 Tokyo Joshi Title Appearance: Miyu Yamashita defeated Akane Miura with the Crash Rabbit Heat (7:14).
*Miyu Yamashita wins Akane Miura’s 1/4 Tokyo Joshi Title Shot.

The 1/4 Title Shot changed hands for the second match in a row. Miyu Yamashita has struggled in the past to beat Akane Miura but this time she was able to do it. She said she will never give up and she wants to win the championship at Korakuen Hall.

This show featured the debut match of the mysterious iron masked Saki Akamiya. She appeared holding a yoyo that seems to be of some importance. Hyper Misao was furious to see Akamiya and charged her at the opening bell. Akamiya kicked her with a Big Boot and won the match in 3 seconds. An immediate rematch took place and Akamiya won again in an overwhelming fashion. Misao asked Akamiya who she was. Akamiya said she is here to expose the weaknesses of the people. Her words had some sort of weird effect on Misao because she suddenly begged to join Akamiya’s side! Akamiya left the ring and Misao chased after her.

At the beginning of the show KENSO suddenly appeared at ringside looking for Sanshiro Takagi. The two had wrestled in a feud years ago and KENSO wants to do it again so he came to the show to find Takagi. He was told he was at the wrong show but Takagi would be at DDT in Korakuen Hall on Sunday. KENSO said he will go there and then left.

Sanshiro Takagi and Tetsuya Koda announced the main event for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s debut in Korakuen Hall on 4th January will be for the newly created Tokyo Joshi Championship! There is two ways to qualify for the championship match. The first spot was given to Shoko Nakajima for winning the Tokyo Princess Cup and beating Saki Akai. She was given a special towel that must be protected. It was supposed to be placed inside a briefcase but nobody had one so it was placed inside a backpack instead. The towel must be defended like a title and can be transferred in any match by pinfall or submission. Nakajima quickly found out the how difficult the task is when Akane Miura pinned her in the 3 Way Match and took her spot in the title match. Miura must now defend her spot until January if she wants to guarantee her place in the title match. The other spot will be up for grabs in a Royal Rumble on 7th November.

Biishiki-gun gets to leave Tokyo Joshi with their heads held high. Akai credited KANNA for earning the victory in the main event with her “beautiful power”. She thanked both KANNA and Ai Shimizu for serving her and helping her make Tokyo Joshi a beautiful place. But it is time for Akai to return to Paris and she left her servents in the ring. Miyu Yamashita welcomed KANNA and Shimizu back to Tokyo Joshi and offered a handshake. KANNA refused the handshake and told Yamashita that even though they are now on the same side again that does not mean they will get along like before. KANNA is still determined to beat Yamashita for the first time.

After the closing message the lights went out and the room went dark. A woman wearing an iron mask and a high school sailor uniform suddenly appeared at the entrance. The woman’s name was revealed as Saki Akamiya and she said now that Biishiki-gun is gone she will bring down her hammer of anger on Tokyo Joshi at their 24th October show.

syoko-pins-akai

There was a big upset in the main event when Shoko Nakajima pinned Saki Akai. The Tokyo Princess Cup winner is the first person to beat Akai in Tokyo Joshi Pro but it was a difficult task none the less. Akai was in control for most of the match and Nakajima was only able to do her Northern Lights Suplex out of desperation for a two count. Victory came for Nakajima when she countered a Lariat into a Cradle. Saki Akai was so shocked by losing that she fainted. Her Biishiki-gun servants were also left speechless by the result. Nakajima meanwhile was filled with emotion over the victory. She told her story of moving to Tokyo when she was 19 years old. She wanted to become a comedian but her attempts ended in failure and she decided to quit. That was when she discovered wrestling and chose Tokyo Joshi as a place to escape to. Since then she’s been having fun everyday and learned to never give up no matter what. She thanked the audience for their support. It was their cheers that kept her together when things looked bleak. She said maybe she is still weak on her own but with Tokyo Joshi they can both grow bigger and bigger together.

erin-comeback

Erin was back in action for the first time since June the arm she fractured was targeted in her return match. Yuka Sakazaki also got involved in a lot of shenanigans like blowing a whistle in Akane Miura’s ear to break up a submission hold and having a quiz against Rika Tatsumi to determine who knows Erin best. When the quiz ended Erin put Tatsumi in her new Jiaozi Lock submission while Miura tapped out Sakazaki with the Sickle Lock.

azusa-takigawa

Tokyo Joshi’s newest wrestler is now named Azusa Takigawa. She lost to Miyu Yamashita in her debut match but is eager to continue wrestling while also attempting to be a reporter on television. After the match Takigawa said she wants to show the same vigor and power that she sees whenever she watches pro wrestling.

oppai-squash

Ai Shimizu was able to render Nonoko unconscious with a modified Camel Clutch, grasping her arms around Nonoko’s big chest and squeezing as hard as she could.

hypermisao-newsuit

The opening match was between two women who teamed together in their debut back in February. For the occassion Hyper Misao wrestled in a new superhero costume that she claims can absorb 95% of her opponent’s attacks. She also wrote a letter for MIZUHO to tell her how much she means to her but her attempts to read it made her cry. However, Misao also warned that this was a big match and her new costume is too powerful for a small fish like MIZUHO. The match happened and it turned out the new super suit wasn’t as powerful as Misao thought it was. MIZUHO was able to beat Misao earn her first pro wrestling victory.

tjp-takagi

Sanshiro Takagi appeared at the end of the show to announce that Tokyo Joshi will soon arrive in the “holy land”. The brand will hold its first show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2016! Takagi said Tokyo Joshi was able to fill up Shinjuku FACE twice and he now wants the brand to fill up Korakuen Hall two, three or even four times! He also mentioned the show will take place at noon so it won’t clash with Wrestle Kingdom 10 next door. He hopes instead that fans both local and worldwide attending the Tokyo Dome that day will be even a little bit interested in giving Tokyo Joshi a shot.
