4. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Michael Nakazawa Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & DJ Nira
5. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi

Happy Motel are defending more than just the KO-D Tag Team Titles in the main event. They are defending their position as the future of DDT after being passed the torch from Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 7”, 17/10/2014
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

1. URRC Special Tag Match: Aoi Ishibashi & Manami Koda Vs Hamuko Hoshi & Kurumi
2. Shota Ganbare☆Wrestling Comeback: Shota Vs Madoka
3. Special Recruit Match: Tiger Bed Scene Vs Yuji Kito
4. No DQ Match: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura
5. This Is Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling: Ken Ohka Vs Osamu Namiguchi

URRC stands for Ultimate Reverse RIZAP Championship and is inspired by the RIZAP exercise program. The URRC was created by Yumehito Imanari to cheer on female wrestlers who are not confident in the ring. Imanari used Wikipedia to look up the weight and height of each joshi wrestler competing in the match. He then seperated each woman into a different weight class. Aoi Ishibashi (160cm/62kg) is a Welterweight, Manami Koda (152cm/62kg) is a Cruiserweight, Hamuko Hoshi (161cm/60kg) is a Middleweight and Kurumi (150cm/60kg) is a Heavyweight. How this is supposed to make them feel better, I don’t know.

Hong Kong International Police Man has suffered a neck injury and will not be able to wrestle on the show. He might not even appear at all because of it.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) (#3) Vs Isami Kodaka (#2)

There is nothing more fitting for Kenny Omega’s final match in DDT than a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Farewell Pigging, we hardly knew you. The unit has been forced to disband after they finished last in the DDT Dramatic General Election. This weekend they have one more match together against Happy Motel. But this is something like the fifth time Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga were forced to split up so they’ll probably be teaming up again in the future.

Akito’s First Defence, Ganbare Vol. 7, Tokyo Joshi Charges

September 29, 2014

DDT “SAPPORO WRESTLING FESTA 2014”, 12/10/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Soma Takao

I doubt Akito will need to confess his love for someone in order to win this match.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 7”, 17/10/2014
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

1. No DQ Match: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura

3. Nonoko Vs Ai Shimizu
4. Saki Akai Vs Shoko Nakajima
5. Miyu Yamashita Vs KANNA

The card was decided by a lottery that took place after the last show. By some coincidence the main event is a rematch of the very first Tokyo Joshi Pro main event.

Sapporo will get a taste of Beer Garden wrestling at the end of the annual weekend of Sapporo shows held by DDT, Big Japan and K-Dojo. And of course that’s not the only co-promoted show those companies will have this year…

“NEW YEAR’S EVE WRESTLING 2014”, 31/12/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Unification! Three Company Powerhouse Tournament:

Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka
Ryuji Ito & Jaki Numazawa
Kankuro Hoshino & Masato Inaba
Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazuki Hashimoto
HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi
Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo
Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
Kengo Mashimo & Tank Nagai
Saburo Inematsu & Ryuichi Sekine
Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi
Sanshiro Takagi & Abdullah Kobayashi
Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
Yuji Hino & Yuji Okabayashi
Daisuke Sekimoto & Danshoku Dino
TAKA Michinoku & X

The three companies return to Korakuen Hall on New Year’s Eve for the annual big bash. This year’s show is built around a one night tag team tournament. 16 teams compete with special rules in effect to ensure the matches are lightning quick. Every match in the first two rounds will have a 10 minute time limit. If time runs out the match goes to sudden death and will end with a one count pinfall. The semi final has the same rules but with a 15 minute time limit. The final has no time limit. There will be a playoff tree for the first two rounds but who faces who in the semi finals will be determined by a lottery.

The rules are similar to the singles tournament held last year. Sanshiro Takagi joked that next year they could do a trios tournament and continue adding an extra team member every year. TAKA Michinoku has not decided on a tag team partner yet.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~” Results

May 11, 2014

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall
595 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Crossface Lock (0:21).
1a. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Venom Face Lock (7:13).
2. 4 Way Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Antonio Honda, Masa Takanashi and DJ Nira when Dino submitted Nira with his ass (9:14).
3. MIKAMI & Yasu Urano defeated Tomoya & Makoto Oishi when Urano pinned Oishi with an Inside Cradle (16:37).

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) defeated KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi when Ibushi pinned Sakaguchi after the PK Mind Ω (17:28).
*V4 for The Golden Lovers.

The Golden Lovers retained their KO-D Tag Team Titles over Shuten-dōji in a brawl of a match. After the match Kenny Omega said that the trio of him, Kota Ibushi and Daisuke Sasaki will now be called the Golden Storm Riders.

Keisuke Ishii apologised for him and Shigehiro Irie not having the All Asia Tag Team Titles with them. All Japan currently has possession of their titles belts and Ishii was unable to get permission to bring them to Sapporo.

Kenichi Yamamoto was impressed with Sanshiro Takagi when they teamed up and won their match. So much so that he had an idea for the next time DDT returns to Hokkaido. Yamamoto wants Takagi to help him form a new Golden Cups unit. The Golden Cups were originally a group in WAR featuring Yamamoto, Yuji Anjo and Yoshihiro Takayama. Together the three invaded New Japan. Takagi accepted the offer He and Yamamoto together yelled “We Are Golden Cups!”

Danshoku Dino won the 4 Way Match when DJ Nira had his head shoved into Dino’s backside, forcing Nira to give up.

After wrestling for 25 minutes earlier in the afternoon, Michael Nakazawa was still feeling energetic and enthusiastic for his opening match with Daisuke Sasaki. The bell rang, Nakazawa yelled “Here we go Sapporo!” and Sasaki quickly locked hm in the Crossface Lock for the sudden submission victory. Amon Tsurumi called for an immediate rematch. Nakazawa was able to avoid the Crossface Lock and then covered himself in lotion to make his body slippy. The plan backfired when Nakazawa could not keep his grip for a German Suplex and Sasaki slipped away. Sasaki then grabbed Nakazawa’s loose tights and used them to apply the Crossface Lock to win a second time.

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL” Results

May 11, 2014

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL ~WIND~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall
138 Fans

0. Dark Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Konosuke Takeshita ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
0. Dark Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated DJ Nira with the Touchdown (4:32).
0. Dark Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Makoto Oishi by Disqualification when Danshoku Dino attacked Takeshita (1:42).
1. No DQ Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Gay-do Clutch (8:22).

Danshoku Dino had Konosuke Takeshita go through a series of dark matches before they could have their No DQ Match. Takeshita fought Makoto Oishi to a time limit draw, then beat DJ Nira afterwards. Takeshita wound up hurting his knee but had to fight Oishi again. He was about to submit Oishi with the Walls Of Takeshita when Dino ran into the ring and attacked Takeshita for the DQ. A chair was used often in the No DQ match and at one point Takeshita had Dino beat with a German Suplex but the referee was knocked unconscious. When Takeshita checked on the ref Dino rolled him over with the Gay-do Clutch. That was when the ref recovered and counted the pin, giving Dino the victory. Dino and Oishi attacked Takeshita after the match but they were then chased off by Antonio Honda and DJ Nira.

Kenny Omega defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow (25:50).

There was a special rule for this match. Amon Tsurumi had a deck of cards with a different wrestler’s name on it. Everytime he drew a card Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa had to perform that wrestler’s signature moves. The cards used were Kazuchika Okada, HARASHIMA, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Antonio Inoki, The Rock, Stan Hansen, Hulk Hogan, Great Kabuki, Great Muta, DJ Nira, Michael Nakazawa and finally Gorgeous Matsuno.

– One Count Match: Antonio Honda defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Sunset Flip (23:07).

The Wasabi Éclair Death Match involved a wrestler having to eat an éclair everytime his opponent kicks out of a pin at two. There were five éclairs but one of them was filled with wasabi. Whoever ate the Wasabi Éclair would be the loser. Throughout the match Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki ate two éclairs each and felt no discomfort. Honda knocked down Sasaki with a Bionic Elbow and went for the pin but Sasaki kicked out. Honda ate the final éclair and immediately ran out of the ring looking for a bathroom so he could wash the wasabi out of his mouth. Honda was able to recover and win the final fall when he countered a Hurricanrana into a Sunset Flip.

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL ~WIND~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

Danshoku Dino Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Very busy day for DDT tomorrow as they will hold four special matches in Sapporo before the show takes place. From noon a match will be held every hour. First up is Danshoku Dino Vs Konosuke Takeshita. Dino was originally began wrestling in a college club while Takeshita entered pro wrestling when he was still in high school. Dino wants to find out what a high school pro wrestler is like. Takeshita recalls first seeing Dino wrestle at a DDT show 7 years ago. Now he gets to face him one on one.

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL ~FOREST~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa

Close buddies Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa are next up. They previously fought in a one match show back in February 2013. That match was a crazy Last Man Standing match that left both men battered and bruised. The last time they were in the ring together, Nakazawa was again beaten up pretty badly. By booking this match, Kenny is convinced DDT wants Nakazawa dead and he doesn’t understand why.

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL ~FIRE~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Former Monster Army buddies Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki take the stage for the third match. There have been no hard feelings between the two since their split but Honda does criticise Sasaki for how he handled the team’s credit card spending.

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL ~MOUNTAIN~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

HARASHIMA Vs MIKAMI

After a chaotic victory on Tuesday, the Golden Lovers must defend their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again this weekend. Now they face the alcohol fueled power of Shuten-dōji.

Yoshihiko has made a full recovery from Tuesday’s show and very quickly returns to the action.

Aomori Industrial Hall

5. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Guanchulo Vs Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki
6. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Konosuke Takeshita

With HARASHIMA claiming a Right To Challenge Contract and declaring he will cash it in against KUDO on 25th May, the two get to face against each other beforehand in a 6-Man Tag. I wonder what state of mind Yasu Urano will be in since he just cashed in his contract and lost to KUDO.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN YAMAGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON’NYAKU~”, 06/05/2014

6. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
7. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

Minoru Suzuki returns for a special match with Michael Nakazawa. It’s going to be pretty one sided.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. 4 Way Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs DJ Nira

2. Cherry & X Vs Ladybeard & Saki Akai
3. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

Shinichiro Tominaga now gets a role in the Union–Ganpuro war facing against Union’s current micro indie dynamo Mitomu Masayuki. Tominaga originally came to Union on a similar path but injuries brought an end to his time with the company and he never fulfilled his potential. Masayuki is now in his spot which could make the match personal.

DDT “ANTONIO HONDA BOX OFFICE ~DEKI-GOKORO~”, 01/06/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Bra And Submission Match: Antonio Honda Vs Norikazu Fujioka

Antonio Honda books his first match for his self-produced event and it is against DDT’s scrawny member of the production staff Norikazu Fujioka. They face off in a Bra And Submission Match where the aim is to either strip the opponent of their bra or make them submit.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Akito

Poison Sawada JULIE revealed his intentions to prevent Sanshiro Takagi from retiring the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. According to Sawada he possesses an ancient lighter from the Inca Empire which can be used to burn the championship belt. When burnt, a treasure map of Arica appears on the belt’s strap. If Takagi gets his way and retires the championship he will have the belt all to himself. Sawada does not want Takagi to discover the map and go after the ancient treasure so he travelled to an old hideout and searched for a certain item to help him. Even though the cave has become desolate over the years and many of his possessions are no longer kept there, he was able to find what he wanted. S Cells! These are potions that contain the power of Snake magic. Sawada then found Antonio Honda and used the S Cells to turn him into Snake Antonio! Now under Sawada’s spell, Antonio has been ordered to defeat Takagi at all costs and become the 1000th champion!
