2. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (7:27).
3. Boxing Tag Match: Gota Ihashi & Dai Suzuki defeated Kengo Mashimo & Zeus by DQ when Mashimo attacked the referee (R4 1:56).
4. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Takayuki Ueki ended in a No Contest after they both simultaneously “felt good” (10:40).
5. YaroZ-gun Vs Handsome-gun: Shigehiro Irie, Antonio Honda, Kazusada Higuchi & Ken Ohka defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Madoka, Tsutomu Oosugi & Mineo Fujita when Irie pinned Fukuda with the YaroZ Bomber (13:59).

Pro wrestling for bastards, by bastards was back in Shinkiba! Brother Mon & Brother Tommy returned to host the latest YaroZ show while the ikemen rival BOYZ were over in Shinjuku. The MCs were here to support Shigehiro Irie in his time of need. For you see, Irie is the ace of YaroZ but he lost his shot at main eventing Sumo Hall the day before. The MCs invited Irie to the ring and he arrived looking upset and low in energy. The MCs tried to cheer him up by inviting Idea Pocket director Mr. Nagata into the ring. Nagata had a surprise for Irie. He brought out AV actress Yuki Yoshizawa. She shook Irie’s hand and asked him to close his eyes so she can give him a little gift. Irie did what he was told. Yoshizawa then swapped places with Nagata and Nagata quickly kissed Irie before switching back with Yoshizawa. Irie’s energy skyrocketed and he was now ready to fight in the main event!

The main event continued the grudge between the YaroZ side and the group of Handsome wrestlers. Hiroshi Fukuda and his Handsome Army ambushed the YaroZ during Yoshizawa’s striptease after the boxing match. They didn’t want the sexy industry’s top model to strip in front of an awful audience of virgins and old men. The YaroZ wrestlers swore they will get revenge in the main event. They were overwhelmed even with an invigorated Irie on their side. Late into the match Fukuda grabbed a mic and yelled about Irie being an ugly loser. Irie was losing faith until Ken Ohka screamed at him to stand up for YaroZ. They rallied up the crowd and even brought many fans into the ring to Lariat Fukuda one after another in the corner. Irie hit a Flying Sausage for a nearfall. He then hit the Beast Bomber, renamed the YaroZ Bomber for this occassion and that was the finish. Irie thanked Yoshizawa for inspiring him. He and the rest of YaroZ all asked her for a date but she politely declined. She was actually more interested in dating one of the Handsome Army wrestlers and left the ring to look for them. Luckily for Irie, The Bed Inn Girls came out to cheer him up with their dancing and teasing. They even gave him a proper kiss.

Yoshizawa returned later in the show to be the ring girl for the boxing match. She appeared wearing normal clothes but took off a piece of clothing after every round. Unsurprisingly most of the roster were at ringside for a closer look. Gota Ihashi & Dai Suzuki were getting killed in the ring but the match wouldn’t end under protest by everyone else, not when there were more rounds left for Yoshizawa to strip to. At one point Ihashi was verbally giving up but the referee pretended to ignore him. During Round 4 both Ihashi & Suzuki were completely knocked out. The referee took his time counting but they wouldn’t budge. Kengo Mashimo became fed up with the nonsense and attacked the referee, getting himself & Zeus disqualified. A big brawl was about to happen when Yoshizawa decided to strip off her remaining normal clothes down to a swimsuit. Everybody rejoiced until they were ambushed by the Handsome Army.

An extra rule was added to the Ryuichi Sekine Vs Takayuki Ueki match. The Bed Inn Girls were allowed to interfere in the match and the first wrestler to “feel good” from their antics would be declared the loser. The Bed Inn Girls teased both wrestlers with dancing, finger licking, straddling and grinding until Ueki and Sekine “felt good” at the same time, ending the match in a draw.

Sanshiro Takagi was in an emotional state after his “dream match” with Yumehito Imanari. He was moved by Imanari’s fighting spirit and thanked him for always making great videos for the shows.

somatowinslol

The main event for DDT’s 19th Anniversary show in Sumo Hall is now official. HARASHIMA won the right to challenge Isami Kodaka for the KO-D Openweight Title on 21st March. He had to go through the difficult task of beating Shigehiro Irie to earn his title shot. Kodaka watched the match from ringside. The first sign of the match going in HARASHIMA’s favour was when he dodged a charging Irie outside the ring and Irie ran abdomen first into an iron fence. HARASHIMA targeted Irie’s abdomen until he was hit with a Lariat and the Teddy Bear. A Black Hole Slam, the Flying Sausage and the Beast Bomber only got Irie a two count. HARASHIMA avoided the Vertial Drop Back Flip, hit some Jumping High Kicks and the Reverse Frankensteiner. He hit the Somato but Irie kicked out! HARASHIMA then pulled out his rarely used Firebird Splash but Irie also kicked out of that! Irie blocked another Somato and turned HARASHIMA upside down for the Drill-A-Hole Piledriver. He hit another big Beast Bomber but HARASHIMA would not stay down for the three count. There was a strike exchange with Irie doing a Headbutt but HARASHIMA then stunned him with a High Kick. He then did a Canadian Destroyer but that was yet another nearfall. HARASHIMA followed up with a Buzzsaw Kick but Irie caught his foot. HARASHIMA surprised Irie with a short range Somato from that position and then hit a proper Somato one more time. That was enough to keep Irie down for the count. HARASHIMA thanked Irie for the match and said this was the strongest Irie has ever been. He wants to fight him again and again and again. Kodaka was then brought into the ring to say some words about the Sumo Hall main event. He wasn’t in the mood to start any arguements. He is confident in his ability to defend the title. He shook hands with HARASHIMA but HARASHIMA started pushing Kodaka’s hand down as if they were arm wrestling. Kodaka kicked him away and left the ring.

bigdog-splashmountain

Tetsuya Endo wasted no time going after Shuji Ishikawa. After attacking him right away he tried to set up the Sky Twister Press but Ishikawa rolled out of the ring. Endo brawled with Shuji up to the north side of Korakuen Hall where Endo was Body Slammed onto some chairs. He just about got back into the ring before the 20 count. Ishikawa was in control until Endo hit a Missile Dropkick. However Ishikawa was too heavy for the Torture Rack Bomb. Endo escaped the Splash Mountain and kicked out of the Running Knee Lift but his momentum was stopped with the Fire Thunder. He still had life in him and he kicked kept kicking out of Ishikawa’s signature moves until the Splash Mountain put him away for good. Daisuke Sasaki attached a leash to Ishikawa after the match and said he and his pet “Adrian” will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall.

kashin-taps-yoshihiko

The DDT Extreme Title was defended in a normal one on one match with an extra wrestler involved. Totally not a Triple Threat Match. The champion Kendo Kashin entered with a body paint image of politician Kensuke Miyazaki. Yoshihiko was accompanied by his elder brother Muscle Sakai who was wearing an all black bodysuit. Sakai stood by Yoshihiko for the entire match to aid him with his moves. Kashin and Antonio Honda ignored them to brawl with each other around ringside. Kashin knocked out the referee and grabbed a chair. He attacked Honda and Sakai with the chair and then played dead. Yukinori Matsui woke up and saw Yoshihiko on the chair surrounded by unconscious bodies. He called a foul on Yoshihiko. Kashin used the distraction to sneak behind Yoshihiko and pin it but Honda stopped the count. Honda gave Kashin a Scorpion Death Drop and then hit the Diving Fist Drop on Yoshihiko. Yoshihiko recovered and Dropkicked Honda out of the ring with Sakai’s help. They went over to Kashin but it was a trap! Kashin locked them into a Cross Armbreaker and both Yoshihiko and Sakai tapped out! After the match Honda asked Kashin for one more title match. Kashin assured Honda that he will get what he wants and nominated… Super Sasadango Machine! Suddenly Sakai was gone and Sasadango appeared to accept the match!

zeyyari

The Zeyyari Isami Kodaka used to pin Akito is a Running Knee Kick to the side of the head. Kodaka said he will continue to defend the KO-D Title once he beats the next guy DDT throws at him. Ryuichi Sekine asked if he could get a title shot. Kodaka said yes. Ryota Nakatsu told them they could do the match in BASARA. Amon Tsurumi told them the next challenger will be determined at Sumo Hall in the Right To Anywhere Rumble match. Sekine & Nakatsu demanded to enter the match. They agreed with Tsurumi to take themselves out of the BASARA offer match so they can be in the Rumble.

sasaki-hurricanrana

Daisuke Sasaki became grumpy when he was told at the start of the show his match with Konosuke Takeshita would not be for the MAX Lucha Libre Maximo Title. It didn’t matter because Sasaki stunned Takeshita by quickly pinning him with a flash Hurricanrana. However the result came from a dirty gameplan. Sasaki escaped the ring and attacked Hiroshi Fukuda at ringside, prompting Takeshita to chase him. Takeshita caught up and hit Sasaki with a Lariat but was pinned out of nowhere by the Hurricanrana afterwards.

akai-lilico-confrontation

LiLiCo appeared after Match #2 with Suguru Miyatake by her side. Makoto Oishi asked her who she is teaming with to take on the Kawaii Connection at Sumo Hall. LiLiCo said Miyatake was supposed to be one of her partners but he is injured. Instead she found two other ikemen she fancies, Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase! The two entered the ring and were presented to LiLiCo. She looked at them approvingly and called both of them delicious. Akai said it doesn’t matter who the old hag teams with, she’ll win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The two grabbed each other and had to be pulled apart.

jikiden-tornado-clutch

Danshoku Dino’s current goal is to collect other wrestlers’ asses. Doing so will prepare him for his match with Akebono in Sumo Hall next month. Saki Akai was worried Dino would target her ass but he wasn’t interested for obvious reasons. Super Sasadango Machine had his mask twisted around after he was thrown into Dino’s Hell Gate. A blinded Sasadango gave Dino the Lehmann Shock and Oishi capitalised to grab the win for himself and Akai.

iwasaki-cradles-hirata

Before the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match began Kazuki Hirata took the time to ask the DNA team if they did enough training. He then mockingly wished them luck. The DNA team wasted no time in targeting Hirata. The champions gained control and Hirata looked to pin Kouki Iwasaki for the third time in a month. He caught Iwasaki in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but this time Iwasaki blocked it and cradled Hirata for the surprise three count. Shunma Katsumata credited Iwasaki’s luck for winning them the titles. Kazusada Higuchi was proud to be part of the first DNA wrestlers to win a championship.

watase-backdrop

Amon Tsurumi had to explain the King Of Dark Title to Guanchulo when he became the new champion. He wasn’t happy to learn he is being demoted to dark matches.

ryogoku-ring

The show ended with Sanshiro Takagi bringing the roster into the ring for one last speech in Korakuen before they go to Sumo Hall. He spoke about DDT running inside Saitama Super Arena this time last year. He then brought up DDT running Sumo Hall twice this year. It is a big step for DDT and everyone will make sure it will be successful. The entire roster formed a circle inside the ring and all yelled “Ryogoku Gonna Be Full House! Ooh!” as the show ended.

Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Tatsumi Fujinami & LEONA was announced for the 21/3 Sumo Hall show!

DDT is currently looking for companies to sponsor their shows in Korakuen Hall. The first sponsored show will be “BLACKOUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2016 TOKYO” on 28th June. BLACKOUT is an energy drink DDT has promoted in the past on their “SAITAMA SLAM” shows.

The Ring☆Dream characters for Sanshiro Takagi, Danshoku Dino and KUDO will soon be voiced in the web browser game.

Shizuoka Shimizu Marine Building
249 Fans – No Vacancy

7. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Ishii pinned Urano with a Frankensteiner (15:54).

The main event was the last warm up match for HARASHIMA and Shigehiro Irie before their No. 1 Contender bout on 28th February. Things were even between them so it was up to Keisuke Ishii to win the match by pinning Yasu Urano with a Frankensteiner. HARASHIMA and Irie stared each other down after the match.

The show took place in Makoto Oishi’s home of Shizuoka and he was introduced as the local hero. Unfortunately the homecoming ended badly when Oishi had his face pushed into Danshoku Dino’s ass and was then pinned by Shunma Katsumata.

Daisuke Sasaki attacked Hiroshi Fukuda at the start of the show in protest for their match being a non-title bout. Amon Tsurumi refused to put Sasaki’s MAX Lucha Libre Title on the line until Fukuda asked for it.

Kazuki Hirata again pinned Kouki Iwasaki with the Miracle One Shot Cradle. Hirata told Iwasaki it was a genuine three count and it proves he and the rest of the DNA team are not qualified for a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match at Korakuen Hall later this month. Iwasaki said he and his team will be prepared in Korakuen.

Match #2 started with Toru Owashi and Kazusada Higuchi squaring off to see who was better at sumo. Sanshiro Takagi interrupted and said Lucha Libre was better. Owashi agreed and the match turned into Lucha Vs Sumo. Lucha won on this day.

7. Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo when Sasaki pinned Honda after the Splash Mountain from Ishikawa (15:51).

Looks like the dog costume wasn’t just for show. Daisuke Sasaki brought Shuji Ishikawa to the ring on a leash for their main event match against one half of the KO-D Tag Team Champions. They beat Tetsuya Endo & Antonio Honda with Ishikawa’s strength as the deciding factor. Sasaki mocked the champions after the match. They always say they train hard and are the future of DDT but Sasaki just showed them reality. He and his cute little dog Shuji will send them from Sumo Hall to the graveyard!

The triangle scramble over the KO-D Openweight Title continued with the latest battle involving Isami Kodaka, HARASHIMA & Shigehiro Irie in a 3 Way Tag. Irie scored the latest win and was happy with it. He repeated his claim that he will defeat HARASHIMA this month and then Isami Kodaka next month to become the new KO-D Champion. He might cry when it happens but it will be tears of joy.

It took a miracle but T2Hide won back the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from #OhkaEmpire thanks to Kazuki Hirata. It was an Elimination Match with Over The Top Rope rules. Sanshiro Takagi was willing to risk his place in the match when he attempted to Suplex KENSO out of the ring to the floor but he was talked out of doing it. Takagi & Toru Owashi were both eliminated at the same time, giving the champs a 3 on 1 advantage. However the tables turned when Takagi interfered and Dropkicked KENSO off the top rope to the floor outside to eliminate him. Hirata then pinned Super Sasadango Machine to bring the match down to himself and Danshoku Dino. The Hirata GO! Glasses came out but Hirata was slowed down with the Lip Lock. Dino got distracted long enough for Hirata to recover and Dropkick Dino out of the ring to bring the titles back to T2Hide!

KENSO did what he’s been doing a lot lately, demanding a rematch. His partners weren’t feeling it. Dino already has a match set for Sumo Hall next month and Sasadango is preparing to enroll in a NHK High School course that begins in April. Both decided to leave #OhkaEmpire for now. KENSO then received a video message from Michael Nakazawa. In it, Nakazawa said KENSO doesn’t look interesting, like a punchline without the joke. However he is willing to join forces with KENSO to destroy Crazy & President at Sumo Hall.

During Match #3 Gota Ihashi turned his back to Saki Akai and bravely asked her to go out with him with the assumption that they will someday get married. He was overjoyed when he felt arms wrapping around him. But it wasn’t Akai giving him a hug, it was Yukio Sakaguchi choking him out with a Sleeper Hold.

Guanchulo used a Brainbuster Slam he calls the Guanchulo y Medio to win the 3 Way Match. He is now getting prepared to win back the MAX Maximo Title from Daisuke Sasaki. According to Guanchulo MAX LUCHA LIBRE has been in trouble ever since Sasaki won the title and took it out of Chile. Guanchulo aims to win it back and bring the belt to DNA as well as back home.

In an unusual turn for King Of Dark Title matches, Mizuki Watase Vs Yasu Urano went on for over 16 minutes and was quite exciting. Although Watase lost the match Amon Tsurumi said it was strange he was the champion instead of someone like Gota Ihashi. Tsurumi decided it will be best for Watase to defend the title against his seniors instead of the usual outcasts. If he wants to get out of dark match hell, he’ll have to beat a DDT veteran. Watase’s next defence will be against Masa Takanashi on 11th February.

Several matches were announced for March. The 1st March BOYZ show has Takeshita & Endo Vs Akito & Soma Takao as well as Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi. There is another BOYZ show on 6th March with HARASHIMA, Takeshita & Takanashi Vs Akito, Endo & Sakaguchi as well as Keisuke Ishii Vs Kota Umeda.

YaroZ has a show in Shinkiba on 1st March has Ihashi & Dai Suzuki Vs Kengo Mashimo & Zeus in a Boxing Match. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Yumehito Imanari and Ryuichi Sekine Vs Takayuki Ueki are also on the card. Finally DNA on 5th March has Kota Umeda Vs Kouki Iwasaki in the main event. DNA’s two newest rookies will debut when Daiki Shimomura faces Umeda and Tsunehiro Shimatani takes on Iwasaki.

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 “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~NEW YEAR~”, 16/01/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
405 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

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.

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.

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.

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.
