8. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes

Both To-y and Rukiya have commented on reaching the D GENERATIONS CUP final. To-y said competing in this year’s tournament made him feel more anxious than last year because he needed to get stronger in order to catch up to Hideki Okatani and Takeshi Masada. He had to ask himself what is his dream? It is to win the KO-D Openweight Title. In order to make that dream closer to coming true he needs to win this tournament for a spot in King Of DDT. Rukiya is only focused on winning the D GENERATIONS CUP. He has the least amount of experience out of all of the participants and understands that nobody expected him to win any of his matches. He regrets debuting too late to take part in last year’s tournament and is using those feelings to motivate him.

Maruto Poultry Shokuhin believe they make the best chicken meat in the world. The wrestlers on their team have taken on nicknames and now wear chicken masks to show their loyalty to the new sponsor.

Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza Kanaeda

1. Shunma Katsumata 10th Anniversary Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO

Katsumata wanted a special match to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut. He decided it should be a singles match against MAO! They usually team together as ShunMao but never turn down the chance to fight each other.

Tomoya and Noriyuki Yoshida will both be on the show.

DDT “ROAD TO SUPER ARENA ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~” Results

December 18, 2016

paulie-choke-akito

DDT “ROAD TO SUPER ARENA ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 18/12/2016
Sapporo Sun Plaza
595 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Masahiro Takanashi & Soma Takao defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata when Takao pinned Hirata with the Gin And Tonic (9:52).
2. How About A Big Hokkaido! Two Big Single Match: Akito defeated Mad Paulie by Disqualification (12:06).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Tomoya defeated Yasu Urano & Koji Yoshida when Ishii pinned Urano with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (10:59).
4. DAMNATION Vs NωA!: Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Torture Rack Bomb (14:10).
5. How About A Big Hokkaido! Two Big Single Match: Yoshihiro Takayama defeated Antonio Honda with a Leg Split (10:53).
6. Shuten-dōji Vs DNA Combination: KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki when Sakaguchi pinned Iwasaki with the Right Knee Of God (17:40).
7. Sapporo Specialty! Sea Urchin, Scallop, Cuttlefish, Crab Bowl Special 4 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Shigehiro Irie, Konosuke Takeshita and Danshoku Dino when HARASHIMA pinned Dino with the Somato (14:10).

At one point in the 4 Way Match, Shigehiro Irie hit HARASHIMA with the Beast Bomber just when HARASHIMA was about to do the Somato on Danshoku Dino. Konosuke Takeshita took out Irie with the German Suplex. Dino then got rid of Takeshita with the Lip Lock. He tried to do the Raw Danshoku Driver but that was stopped by HARASHIMA who hit the Somato to win. HARASHIMA stared at Irie after the match and Irie just gave him a thumbs down.

Kazusada Higuchi is still dealing with getting pinned in yesterday’s DNA main event. With his mind elsewhere he wasn’t on the same page as Kouki Iwasaki which caused them to lose to Shuten-dōji.

When Yoshihiro Takayama put Antonio Honda in a submission hold early in their match, Honda teased giving up. It sounded like he was trying to say “Give Up” but it then turned out he actually said “Mel Gibson” and “Give me chocolate”. He then tried to distract Takayama by telling him the Three Little Pigs story. His last trick was attempting a Manjigatame but Honda pulled his groin in the process. Takayama then used a Leg Split submission to stretch Honda’s groin even further, making him submit to the pain.

The match between Akito and Mad Paulie ended in a DQ. What happened was Paulie became frustrated by being out-wrestled by Akito. So Paulie left the ring and came back with a rope to choke his opponent with. Akito tried to outmanoeuvre his way out of trouble but Paulie eventually got to him on the apron. Paulie went on a small rampage after he was DQ’ed. He gave Yuki Ueno a Lariat when Ueno tried to stop him.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka or Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi (c) Vs X

A Union MAX Title defence being booked so soon after the next champion getting crowned suggests the championship will not be getting a makeover to fit in with its new home.

Osaka Oyodo Community Center

1. Hiroshi du Soleil Vs TsubaBilly: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT Vs Tsubasa & Billy Ken Kid

Isami Brings In Mashimo, Rocky Kawamura Jogs To Ganbare, DDT At Christmas, Yamashita Vs Akai

December 13, 2016

BASARA “VAJRA 24 ~SPIRIT SHOTEN~”, 15/12/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

6. Union MAX Title Preview 3rd Match!: Isami Kodaka & Kengo Mashimo Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Shota

One more skirmish before the big BASARA show. This time Isami Kodaka is bringing in the big guns. However Kengo Mashimo doesn’t always get along with him. So the main event may look one sided on paper but when the match takes place one wrong move can thrash Kodaka’s plans to pieces.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

6. Ken Ohka 15th Anniversary Debut Memorial Match: Ken Ohka Vs Atsushi Maruyama

Earlier this year Ryo Kawamura did what every fighter does at least once in their lives: reenact scenes from the Rocky movies. But even Rocky Balboa couldn’t be able to get a good match out of Chikara.

7. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs Yoshihiro Takayama & Shigehiro Irie

Shuten-dōji and DAMNATION have their rematch from last weekend but this time the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are not on the line. That’s being saved for Christmas Day.

DDT “NEW YEAR LOTTERY SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 2,000 YEN BOX OFFICE!! 2017”, 03/01/2017
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Mike Bailey

Mike Bailey has built a lot of momentum in the last few months, winning the week long DNA Grand Prix tournament and now holding the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Konosuke Takeshita. His success has been rewarded even more with a KO-D Openweight Title shot at DDT’s first Korakuen Hall show in 2017.

Joey Ryan, Laura James and Candice LeRae will be on this show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’17”, 04/01/2017
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Rika Tatsumi & Hyper Misao (w/ Minami Momochi) Vs Akane Miura & Maho Kurone

3. Nodoka-oneesan Vs Cherry
4. Konsho-gun Vs Married Woman Army: Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko Vs Ai Shimizu & Laura James
5. Mil Clown Vs Candice LeRae
6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Saki Akai
7. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

One of the big rivalries in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s history will come back for a special match. Miyu Yamashita has never been able to beat Saki Akai one on one. Akai has shown no interest in having any future plans with Tokyo Joshi so this may be Yamashita’s last chance for now to get that win.

Hyper Misao has enlisted Rika Tatsumi and Minami Momochi to help her latest attempt to protect Tokyo Joshi from evil. It wasn’t long ago when Akane Miura was practising snake magic although she has shown no evil behaviour since returning to normal. Maho Kurone however is pretty much a zombie now. She’s always been acting weird since her debut match but yeah, carrying a severed arm to the ring while her mouth is covered in blood isn’t exactly being subtle. Momochi will be finishing up her role as Tokyo Joshi’s ring announcer at this show so what a way to go, getting involved in this creepy situation.

DDT “ROAD TO SUPER ARENA IN OYODO ~DRAMATIC DREAM TENROKU~”, 09/01/2017
Osaka Oyodo Community Center

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Mike Bailey (c) Vs Masakatsu Funaki & Yukio Sakaguchi

The pairing of Masakatsu Funaki & Yukio Sakaguchi at “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2016” worked so well that they will get a KO-D Tag Title shot next month.

DDT “SAPPORO NEW LEGEND 2015” Results

December 20, 2015

star-wars-spoiler

DDT “SAPPORO NEW LEGEND 2015”, 20/12/2015
Sapporo Sun Plaza
608 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Takao pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (9:08).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Tomoya defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake when Tomoya pinned Miyatake with the S.O.D. (9:47).
3. Tetsuya Endo defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Sky Twister Press (12:17).
4. Antonio Honda defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Manjigatame (11:28).

7. Sapporo Speciality North Country Special 4 Way Match: Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi and Konosuke Takeshita when Irie pinned Takeshita with the Shigehiro Final Impact (14:56).

Shigehiro Irie said he was happy to beat Konosuke Takeshita at DDT’s final show in Sapporo this year. He wants to return to Sapporo with Yuji Okabayashi as the reigning KO-D Tag Team Champions.

Akito said he is mentally preparing for whatever crazy rules Kendo Kashin will come up with for their DDT Extreme Title match this Wednesday.

Ken Ohka was frustrated by his defeat to Masa Takanashi. He claimed afterwards that Takanashi didn’t beat him, he beat himself.

Tetsuya Endo thinks he is bouncing back from his failure to win the KO-D Openweight Title. He is taking what he learned from that match and putting it into this week’s Tag Title match.

Sanshiro Takagi brought out a lightsaber for Match #2. He warned the audience that Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake were part of the Imperial Army! Sasaki denied those claims. Trouble began when Sasaki accidentaly struck his partner with his elbow. Miyatake stormed out of the ring and said he was going to join the Dark Side. The lights dimmed and suddenly the Imperial March started playing. Miyatake reappeared in the ring with a lightsaber in his hand and a paper Darth Vader mask covering his face! He and Takagi then had a lightsaber duel. Miyatake won the duel and turned his attention to Tomoya. The Hokkaido native fought off Miyatake’s use of the Force and defeated him with his S.O.D. finisher.

Happy Motels have the chance to get some revenge on Yuji Okabayashi. They lost the KO-D Tag Team Titles to Okabayashi & Daisuke Sekimoto back in February. Now they can at least beat Okabayashi to reclaim the titles.

Kendo Kashin wants to defend the DDT Extreme Title in an Amateur Rules match with 3 count pins allowed.

#OhkaEmpire explodes… Kind of. Ken Ohka has been left out of the group’s attempts to win back the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He and his new buddy HARASHIMA might go their own way if this problem can’t be settled.

Does Ultraman dance? We may see a bunch of Ultramen dance.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Candice LeRae
2. Saki Akamiya Vs Akane Miura
3. Tokyo Joshi Title: Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita

The event will also feature the debut of three new wrestlers: Yu, Marika Kobashi and Nodoka Onesan.

Yu is 156cm high, was born on 19th July and is from Chiba. She became a fan of DDT when she was in elementary school and took up judo because she was too young to train for pro wrestling. She said it is a dream come true to enter the ring.

Marika Kobashi is 154cm high, was born on 17th May 2001 and is from Kanagawa. She is a fan of Big Japan and wanted to become a wrestler after seeing one of their local events. She is the first signed wrestler in the entire DDT company to be born in the 21st century.

Nodoka Onesan is 145cm high, was born on 7th June and is from Okayama. She became a wrestling fan by reading the manga 1·2 no Sanshirou. Her gimmick will be based on the “Older Sister” trope from Japanese children’s TV shows (Waracchao! on NHK is an example). She hopes this character will attract children to Tokyo Joshi and turn them into fans.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is still reeling from the betrayal of Yukihiro Abe joining Tomodachi-gun. Abe was randomly picked to be kicked out of Ganpuro when they were defeated in a Loser Leaves Town match. Abe unreasonably blames Ken Ohka and the rest of Ganpuro for dumping him and has joined their enemies to get revenge.

An announcement will be made at the show about the Ganbare☆Wrestling Grand Prix 2015.

From out of nowhere Ganpuro revealed it will be presenting a few matches for the RIZIN Martial Arts EXPO in Saitama Super Arena’s Community Hub. The expo takes place from 29th to 31st December in the build up to the RIZIN FIGHTING WORLD GRAND-PRIX 2015 on New Year’s Eve.
