Ultimate Hangover, Omega Comments, New Title Matches, MMA Shrek

November 4, 2019

A couple days rest then everyone gets back on the grind. But first, Kenny Omega had a lot to say following his return appearance to DDT. He was happy with yesterday’s match and would like to wrestle in DDT again, preferably in mixed tag matches if DDT can provide the teams for him. He also has some opinions on two wrestlers in particular: Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo. He said Takeshita has grown big and Endo has a bodybuilder physique but he couldn’t sense any heart from their performances. They wrestle the same as they did five years ago when Omega left DDT. How can they compare to the elite wrestlers from around the world that Omega faces regularly? How can they ever win something as great as an IWGP or G1 victory? How well do they do outside of Tokyo? Omega kind of feels like a father disappointed in his children. Between today’s comments and his tense behavior towards HARASHIMA yesterday it seems like Kenny is kicking a hornet’s nest in his old stomping grounds.

DDT “IN THIS CASE SHINKIBA IS JUST RIGHT 2019”, 08/11/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Hiroshi Yamato Vs Akito, Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
2. 3 Way Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Antonio Honda Vs Fuminori Abe
3. HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Ken Ohka

5. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Gauntlet Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Mizuki Watase Vs Yuki Ueno Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Iino Vs Asuka
6. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Makoto Oishi

One decade ago Makoto Oishi held the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. He still feels a link with the belt but was never able to challenge for it again until now. He would never forgive himself if he does not take this chance.

With no clear contender in sight for HARASHIMA, his first KO-D Openweight Title defence will be against the winner of a 6 person Gauntlet match. HARASHIMA chose the six wrestlers and wanted to put a focus on the younger generation.

Nobuhiro Shimatani will be ending his contract with DDT on 8th November. He will continue wrestling in DDT but will do so as a freelancer from now on. To mark the end of his contract, Shimatani will be facing against the other members of DAMNATION in a 4 Vs 1 match. Shimatani was unhappy to take the loss at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” and made the decision to take his career in a new direction. That may mean he will leave DAMNATION too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~”, 09/11/2019

No time is set for her return but when she does, Tokyo Joshi Pro will give her enough practice time to prepare for it.

Kazuki Hirata makes his Ganbare☆Wrestling debut reuniting with Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Their match is a clash of ideals between the Young Communications generation (think of it like a prototype DNA) and wrestlers with the student pro wrestling background.

MMA Shrek is coming to YaroZ! Hideki Sekine is a monstrous heavyweight but his MMA career is currently in the slumps. Feeding Gota Ihashi & Keigo Nakamura to him will probably put him back on the right track.

Should an attempt to steal the DDT Extreme Title be rewarded with a match where the thief can win the championship? In this situation, sure! It’s DJ Nira we’re talking about here so it shouldn’t be a problem for HARASHIMA.

The new Union MAX Champion is not wasting any time and wants the strongest in BASARA to challenge him. Masahiro Takanashi knows that Isami Kodaka would not resist the chance to win the title back from an outsider.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’20”, 04/01/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The first 2020 match in the DDT family has been announced and it is a big one. Yuka Sakazaki failed to defend the Princess Of Princess Title during her first reign. She is now at risk of a repeat because her first challenger this time around is Miyu Yamashita! Sakazaki doesn’t want Yamashita for her first defence but she eventually agreed to it. On the bright side at lease she is guaranteed to hold the belt for two months. Just like last time… Oh. Ohhhhhh that’s not good.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Cherry Vs Banny Oikawa
2. Sensual Novel Death Match: Naoki Tanizaki Vs Hiroshi Yamato

I get that Hiroshi Yamato is a lover, not a fighter. But Naoki Tanizaki? Really? Maybe back when he was a surfer.

Jiro Kuroshio will be on the show. Is he mean enough to fit in with YaroZ?

Saki Akai is setting up a series of matches against joshi from outside of DDT. She wants to show off what she can do on her own while still presenting how interesting a place DDT is. It is called the “Okibariyasu” series because that word means “Do Your Best” when said in the Kyoto dialect. The first match is against Tsukasa Fujimoto from Ice Ribbon. Akai had wrestled her once before in an exhibition match five years ago back when she was training to be a wrestler.

Shinya Aoki, Chris Brookes, Jiro Kuroshio and Hiroshi Yamato will all be on the show.

A fight broke out between Ken Ohka and Takato Nakano at Wednesday’s press conference for Sumo Hall. When the participants for the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles match got together, Urano bragged that Nakano could beat Ohka easily. Ohka took offence and challenged Nakano to a match. When it was accepted the two began fighting until Urano kicked Ohka with a Low Blow.

The match is also confirmed to be the official opening match for the show because Takagi thinks the first match is the most important after the main event. The Gauntlet Tag is part of the pre-show.

Imanari thanks both Onita and Takagi for making him a pro wrestler, one who will help build the new era of Current Blast death matches! Asuka has already done Hardcore and Death Match wrestling so she is looking forward to doing Current Blast matches. Naya says it has been half a year since he signed with DDT. He wants to break out of his shell and fight under his own will. FUMA was not around to give any comments.

BASARA’s October Cards, Bakuha Koshien Federation

October 18, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 109 ~BANQUET~”, 23/10/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Semi Final: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT
2. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Semi Final: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo Vs Fuminori Abe & Takato Nakano
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Akiyori Takizawa Vs Daichi Kazato & Masato Kamino
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Naoki Tanizaki Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Yasu Urano & Gouma Ryu
5. Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita Vs Masahiro Takanashi & P-Nutz
6. IRON FIST TAG Titles – IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Final: X & X Vs X & X

I’d go look up who P-Nutz is but I immediately think of the Peanuts song from Shooting Stars and I fall down the hole of watching clips from that show instead of writing this.

Alright, alright, I’ll snap out of it. P-Nutz is a Gatoh Move wrestler from Thailand. Masahiro Takanashi is regularly involved with Gatoh Move away from his DDT appearances. This kind of match up continues to prove that Takanashi’s upcoming Union MAX Title match with Ryuichi Sekine is not about BASARA Vs DDT.

BASARA “BASARA 110 ~INOHANA CASTLE~”, 27/10/2019

1. Takato Nakano Vs Tatsuya Hanami
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Jun Masaoka

Fuminori Abe & Yasu Urano are bringing in a tank of a Fxxkin’ tank of a man to help them fight Sento Minzoku. Whenever BASARA shows up in Chiba, Yuji Hino is usually close by.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN FEDERATION “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2019”, 17/11/2019
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Bakuha Koshien Tournament Final – Current Blast 6-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Kenichiro Arai & Tournament Finalist A Vs Sanshiro Takago, Shinya Aoki & Tournament Finalist A

What on earth is going on here? Today Atsushi Onita announced that Shinya Aoki will be participating in the “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2019” main event. Onita wants Aoki to experience what a Current Blast Death Match is like. The news seems to be a surprise for Aoki. He was left confused by the announcement and is already trying to get Hideki Suzuki to take his place. The organisers think Aoki is just joking. The main event will also feature Kenichiro Arai as well as the two finalists of a mini tournament that is currently being planned. The participants for the mini tournament are expected to be announced next week, probably on 24th October since that fits with Onita’s schedule. Only the final will be a Current Blast Death Match.

Then the news gets a bit weirder. Sanshiro Takagi held a press conference to announce the formation of the Bakuha Koshien Federation (Bakuharen for short). That’s not weird. What is weird is Takagi appointed Pro Wrestling NOAH’s former president Masayuki Uchida as the president of Bakuharen! Takagi wants this project to be taken care of properly and he thinks Uchida is the man for the job. Uchida is both nervous and excited to take on the role. He wants Bakuharen to leave a lasting legacy in Japan’s wrestling world. His first task is examining applications with Onita and Takagi from the wrestlers around the world wanting to be on the show.

6. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Akito, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Asuka
7. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Iino Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

At last Sunday’s show in Osaka, Toru Owashi threw in a shirt like it was a towel to call off the main event when HARASHIMA would not submit to the Walls Of Takeshita. Afterwards Owashi stood up to Konosuke Takeshita and said he will now be teaming with HARASHIMA at this Saturday’s show. Yuki Ueno was originally in that spot but now he is teaming with Kazuki Hirata in the Gauntlet Tag match.

It looks like Keigo Nakamura wasn’t being honest about his weight gain. Last week he announced that he reached his goal of reaching 75kg. Naomi Yoshimura made Nakamura weigh himself again today and they found out he is now actually at 68kg! Somehow he is losing weight instead of gaining it. At least his match with Yoshimura is still going ahead.

6. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special Hardcore 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Akito Vs FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura
7. Road To Ultimate Party 2019! Special 6-Man Tag Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Ken Ohka & Shoko Nakajima Vs HARASHIMA, Isami Kodaka & Yuka Sakazaki

The main event has a 30 minute time limit but is also now best 2 out of 3 falls. The people involved has made this such an all star affair that DDT didn’t want the match to only last for one fall. HARASHIMA is not 100% physically fit after what happened on Sunday but he promises he is 100% mentally ready for this match and also Sumo Hall. Takeshita wants this to be a great match at a global level because it is significant for all of the DDT brands involved.

Daisuke Sasaki welcomes the idea of defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall in a Hardcore Match. That means he and the rest of DAMNATION can cheat to their heart’s content. The preview 4 Way at Korakuen Hall is also now a Hardcore match so we may get more examples of what they can do.

Masahiro Takanashi is impressed by how quickly Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura have bonded as a team. When he saw them challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with HARASHIMA last week, he didn’t see DISASTER BOX but rather HARASHIMA with Nautilus by his side. They will become KO-D Tag Team Champions some day which is why Takanashi & Chris Brookes need to beat them now. Also Takanashi wants to win the Tag Titles so the world will recognise him as Brookes’ DDT partner instead of Maki Itoh.

The main event is sponsored by DDT’s official energy drink BLACK OUT. The winner receives a 2,000,000 yen prize as well as a year’s supply of BLACK OUT. The Kenny Omega & Riho Vs Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita match is sponsored by Souken Holdings. The winning team gets a coupon worth 1,000,000 yen for home renovation. This might be a useless prize for Omega because he doesn’t live in Japan anymore.

Michiaki Nakano from Souken Holdings will be at ringside for the pre-show Battle Royal. He likes to attend these matches so he can try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. However the belt is currently being held by Kikutaro and he’s living in America now. Hisaya Imabayashi has pledged to bring the Iron Man Title back to Japan in time for the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~” Results

October 8, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~”, 05/10/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
219 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku defeated YUMI with the Pom de Justice (5:00).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Himawari Unagi by TKO (1:53).
3. Mizuki defeated Raku with a Facelock (6:52).
4. Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Itoh submitted Kiryu with the Itoh Special (10:26).
5. Misao defeated Miu Watanabe with the Vanitas (10:06).
6. Sakisama defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Academy Award (8:01).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Hikari Noa & Mirai Maiumi when Nakajima pinned Maiumi with the Northern Lights Suplex (14:30).

Shoko Nakajima said it was a long time since she last struggled out of a match like she today. She learned Yuka Sakazaki has leveled up far more than she thought. She was different from the last time they wrestled against each other, almost like she evolved. Nakajima is climbing a new ladder and she does not want to lose the Princess Title to Sakazaki at Sumo Hall next month.

Rika Tatsumi confronted Misao after Match #5 and hugged her, hoping to bring Hyper Misao back. Misao pushed her back and told her she only cares about strength. Only victory and strength can heal her weakness.

Yuna Manase and Maki Itoh gave each other middle fingers after their match. It was announced at the start of the show that the International Princess Champion coming out of their match will next defend the title on 16th November against a foreign wrestler.

Himawari Unagi dislocated her left elbow during her match, causing her to forfeit against Miyu Yamashita.

It seems that once a year Konosuke Takeshita gets to wrestle a big Osaka Pro name that he grew up watching. This time he gets to face Billy Ken Kid. He also has to worry about HARASHIMA but he’s a nice guy who wouldn’t ruin a moment like this. At least not on purpose. Unless you count winning matches with the Somato as on purpose.

DDT “RYOGOKU COLONEL SANDERS 2019”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Keigo Nakamura Debut Match: Naomi Yoshimura Vs Keigo Nakamura
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani
3. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Cody Hall Vs Yukio Naya

Tensions between Cody Hall and Yukio Naya are reaching dangerous levels. Hall has been getting the better of Naya in tag matches but all that has done is made Naya want to fight him even more.

Nobihiro Shimatani got so much confidence from beating Takato Nakano on Sunday that he challenged Isami Kodaka to a match!

The trainee Keigo Nakamura has spent all year working at DDT shows and getting dragged into other wrestler’s antics. He finally gets to debut but his opponent Naomi Yoshimura does not want to face him until he weighs at least 75kg. Nakamura weighed himself on Sunday and learned he is at 71.7kg. He weighed himself again today and found out he dropped down to 70kg! He’ll weigh himself again next week with the hopes of reaching at least 72kg.

6. Ikemen-gun Vs YaroZ-gun: Jiro Kuroshio, HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Antonio Honda, Yuki Iino & Yumehito Imanari

An email was sent to the DDT office by somebody identifying themselves as the manager of DAMNATION. This person complained about being called plump in the marketing for the BOYZ show. At first Akito thought the email was sent by Shimatani but then considered who out of DAMNATION would also get offended if they were called plump. Tetsuya Endo then became Akito’s main suspect. He decided to change the Shimatani Vs Kouki Iwasaki match into a tag bout between Shimatani & Endo against Iwasaki & Keisuke Ishii. Now he just has to make sure Endo will show up and Ishii is available.

DDT “SHINSHU CHASHU MINANOSHU 2019”, 22/10/2019

1. MAO Marunage Match ~ Nagano Style Elimination Tornado Tag Scramble Bunkhouse Lucha Eyeglasses 2 Count Pin Fall No DQ No Rope Escape TLC Halloween Death Match: MAO, Makoto Oishi & Yuki Iino Vs Asuka, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata

Before he leaves for his UK excursion, MAO gets to put together a Marunage match. His idea is all over the place. It’s an elimination tag match with countless optional rules in place if the wrestlers want to use them. MAO believes he will return from England a changed man so this may be the last time he gets to do a match like this. Could MAO be taken away by the fabled Wind Of Liverpool?
