Ganbare Books Korakuen, Isami Goes MC.33 Returns, Hiroshi Funds U.S.A

July 8, 2016

ganbare-korakuen

After an intense period of negotiations Ganbare☆Wrestling will soon hold its first show in Korakuen Hall this October! Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari yesterday streamed live on Nico Douga their meeting with the Korakuen manager to book their show. Ohka originally wanted to hold the show on a Sunday but was told every Sunday is booked out for the rest of the year. He was offered Noon on a Saturday but Ohka begged and pleaded with the manager to find him a Sunday spot. The manager discovered there was a cancellation for 2nd October so that day became available. Ohka handed over 500,000 yen to pay for the deposit but was told he was 50,000 yen short. Imanari had another 20,000 and they eventually convinced the reporter and photographer who accompanied them to cough up the remaining cash. That was enough to confirm the spot, noon on 2nd October!

BASARA “VAJRA 15 WU”, 20/07/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

1. FUMA Vs SAGAT
2. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Yusuke Kubo
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

Isami Kodaka made an unexpected decision to pull himself from this show. He has decided to take some time off after failing to win the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament. Taking his place is a blast from the past, MC.33 (pronounced MC Sammy). This is a masked wrestler who appeared on the CRUSIER’S GAME brand during the mid-2000s. Kodaka describes him as a legend and is excited to see him in BASARA.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is using his prize winnings from Heaven Summit to fund the return of U.S.A. The brand will takeover one of the Tavern Wrestling tripleshot shows at the beginning of August, specifically the show held on 2nd August.

BASARA “VAJRA 16 ~FLAWLESS~”, 28/07/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Ryuichi Sekine
2. Hardcore Match: Yusuke Kubo Vs SAGAT
3. Hardcore Match: FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto

The feud between Tsukasaga Army and Kotetsu Gundan continues with several singles matches between the two sides. In Saitama it is just regular singles matches but afterwards in Shin-Kiba the matches will become Hardcore.

Ryuichi Sekine now has Hiroshi in his sights. Sekine wants to be the ace of BASARA so obviously the Heaven Summit winner and conqueror of Isami Kodaka is his next target.

The main event included a No Touch rule allowing wrestlers to tag in without making physical contact with their tag partners. Isami Kodaka used hits to his advantage when he ducked a Clothesline from Kouki Iwasaki and then immediately dove out of the ring onto Kazusada Higuchi. Tetsuya Endo then attacked Iwasaki and finished him with the Sky Twister Press. Endo celebrated a successful defence of his Right To Challenge contract with some drinks.

The 3 Way Match began with Shunma Katsumata and Sayaka Obihiro testing each other’s strength with Hand Sumo. Antonio Honda couldn’t participate and began to cry over being left out. Katsumata and Obihiro grabbed each of Honda’s hands so he could be included then both him in the chest. Honda shrugged off the blows and pointed at both of them shouting “You!” He then attacked his opponents with Southern style Jabs. The three traded pinning combinations until Honda got the three count over Katsumata. Obihiro described her first appearance for Tavern Wrestling as a frenzy and a good experience.

-. SAGAT (0)

Block B Standings

1. FUMA (4)
-. Daichi Kazato (4)
-. Takumi Tsukamoto (4)
4. Hiroshi Fukuda (2)
-. Ryu Gouma (0)

In the latest battle between DDT’s eating establishments the Drop Kick Bar was victorious over Ebisuko Tavern. Ryuichi Sekine was the dominant member of the Drop Kick team, playing a part in eliminating 3 of the 4 opponents. Gota Ihashi had Kazusada Higuchi to rely on until Sekine Dropkicked him to the floor for an elimination. Ihashi finally got rid of Sekine when he ducked a Clothesline from Akito that hit Sekine instead. Ihashi tried to do what he could against Akito including a missed Moonsault but kept getting trapped in submission holds until he finally gave up to a Figure Four Leg Lock. After the match most of the wrestlers shook hands. The only exception was Kota Umeda towards Isami Kodaka.

Ryota Nakatsu is so far undefeated in the Heaven Summit tournament, winning his first two matches. SAGAT meanwhile is winless with one match left. He cannot understand why he is going through a losing streak.

Ryu Gouma lost the last of his Heaven Summit matches, ending his run with zero points. This time he lost the match by pinfall instead of countout. Because of this Gouma is now throwing his full support behind Hiroshi Fukuda to win the tournament.

The next Tavern Wrestling event will take place in July. There will also be three shows taking place on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd August.

BASARA “VAJRA 8 ~SPRING PLANTED DO NOT FALL IN VAIN~” Results

April 15, 2016

kodaka-cage

BASARA “VAJRA 8 ~SPRING PLANTED DO NOT FALL IN VAIN~”, 14/04/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
207 Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Koji Iwasaki defeated Kazuaki Mihara & SAGAT when Sekine pinned SAGAT with the Ryusetsu (10:52).
2. 3 Way Match: Ryu Gouma defeated Hi69 and Kikutaro when Gouma submitted Kikutaro with a Ground Cobra Twist (11:58).
3. Hardcore Match: Terry Boy defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold (11:48).
4. Masamune defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Kaminarikiri (13:13).
5. Hardcore Cage 6-Man Tag Team Match: Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Daichi Kazato defeated FUMA, Madoka & Yusuke Kubo when Kodaka pinned FUMA with the Diving Double Knee Drop from the cage (24:50).

BASARA and Kotetsu Gundan went to war in a 6-Man Tag Cage Match. The rules were two members of a team had to escape the cage and the remaining member needed to pin, submit or knock out an opponent to win the match. Kyohei Wada was the man put in charge of the match as all 6 wrestlers entered the cage. Kotetsu Gundan started off in control when Madoka attacked Isami Kodaka with a bamboo sword while his team mates threw their opponents into the cage. Madoka quickly tried to escape but was told to come back down by Yusuke Kubo because it was too early to stop beating up their enemies. Kodaka grabbed the bamboo sword and fired back at the Kotetsu team. Takumi Tsukamoto’s Superplex to Madoka was blocked but when Madoka followed up with a Missile Dropkick he was whacked in mid-air with a massive hammer. Tsukamoto took the opportunity to be the first wrestler to escape the cage. Kotetsu Gundan regained control because of the numbers advantage. Madoka gave Daichi Kazato a Fire Thunder onto a table. It didn’t break but Madoka didn’t care. He escaped the cage to make it 4 wrestlers left in the ring. Kazato was next to climb the cage but took a moment to decide if he should escape or Moonsault back onto everyone in the cage. Kazato went with the Moonsault and hit his target. Even better, Kazato had enough time to recover and crawl out of the cage through the door. Kodaka was the last man on his team so he couldn’t escape to win. FUMA ordered Kubo to escape the cage while he held Kodaka back. So the final stage of the match was between Kodaka and FUMA. FUMA went for the Heavy Metal Hammer but Kodaka surprised him by smashing Madoka’s ukulele over his head. Kodaka placed a ladder on top of FUMA and hit the Diving Double Knee Drop but it left him in great pain. FUMA hit the Heavy Metal Hammer and the Heavy Metal Anthem but Kodaka would not stay down. Kodaka climbed to the top of the cage and hit the Diving Double Knee Drop on FUMA and that was enough to end the match. Afterwards Kodaka told Madoka he would reimburse him for the ukulele he broke. He was told the ukulele cost 30,000 yen and in response said he might have to take money out of the upcoming tournament prize to pay for it. A defeated FUMA told Kodaka “You are also metal!” Kodaka didn’t take that as a compliment and flipped FUMA a middle finger. He then climbed the turnbuckle and did the Diving Double Knee Drop onto the unbroken table. He isn’t metal, he’s hardcore!

Kodaka invited Masamune to team with him on the 3rd May show in Miyagi.

MEN’S Teioh returned to his Terry Boy persona for a Hardcore Match with Hiroshi Fukuda. Despite the special occasion Fukuda did not hold back and busted open Terry after an ambush belt attack. Fukuda did the Perfect Plex off of a ladder but Terry kicked out of the pin. Terry used the ladder himself to give Fukuda the Calf Branding and then submitted him with the Spinning Toe Hold.

BASARA announced its first tournament called Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~. It is a round robin tournament with two blocks of five wrestlers each. The winners of both groups will face each other in the final with 500,000 yen as the grand prize. The money comes from Kodaka’s savings apparently. Block A has Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT and Yusuke Kubo. Block B has FUMA, Takumi Tsukamoto, Daichi Kazato, Ryu Gouma and Hiroshi Fukuda. The tournament begins on 1st May and ends on 23rd June.

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL MANIA” Results

March 8, 2016

heiankyo-deathmatch

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL MANIA”, 08/03/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
330 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Jinbeizamen & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Gota Ihashi when Jinbeizamen pinned Gota Ihashi with a Diving Headbutt (9:49).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka-oneesan when Nakajima pinned Nodoka with a Jackknife Pin (8:58).
3. Heian-kyō Death Match: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Danshoku Dino ended in a No Contest after a double foul (11:20).
4. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT when Endo pinned SAGAT with the Torture Rack Bomb (11:52).
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Akito ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

The Tavern Wrestling crowd got their money’s worth with Isami Kodaka Vs Akito going the full 30 minutes. Akito said he was happy to fight the champion to a draw. Kodaka then announced that Akito will begin working for the Dropkick Bar this month. He joked that Mic Inoue was the only decent human working there and he left to work for the new SWANDIVE bar. Dropkick Bar is now a dangerous place without him so Akito will come in as the deputy manager.

Hiroshi Fukuda made a promise to his Happy Motel team mates that he and SAGAT would fight them fair and square. He told them about his new special technique called the Space SAGAT Torpedo. That was the cue for a surprise attack but the New Gen Combo were ready for them. Fukuda kept trying to set up the Space SAGAT Torpedo with his partner but was cut off every time. He was eventually put away with Tetsuya Endo’s Torture Rack Bomb.

Danshoku Dino came to Tavern Wrestling with a purpose. He wanted to collect Ryota Nakatsu’s ass for his upcoming match with Akebono. Nakatsu agreed to put his ass on the line but only if they fight in a Heian-kyō Death Match. The rule is if a wrestler commits a foul he must be punished by getting hit in the ass with a baseball bat. This is based on a trend in Niigata that’s gone viral where tourists pose with a statue of a baseball player and pretend they are being hit in the ass with the statue’s bat (Google ケツバット and click on images). Dino immediately fouled Nakatsu by applying a Danshoku Claw Hold and had to be punished. Nakatsu then commited a foul by refusing to let go of a Sleeper Hold when Dino grabbed the ropes. More fouls were called for Nakatsu accidentaly knocking over the referee and Dino applying the Lip Lock on the ref. When the ref recovered Dino and Nakatsu were fighting over the baseball bat. Nakatsu pulled it away and took a swing. Dino ducked and the ref got hit! The ref had enough and disqualified both wrestlers for their constant fouling.

DDT “YAROZ PARTICIPATION” Results

March 1, 2016

guyz-yoshizawa

DDT “YAROZ PARTICIPATION”, 01/03/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
185 Fans – Unmarked

1. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Hoshitango pinned SAGAT with the Midnight Buenos Aires (11:14).
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.

TAVERN WRESTLING “~BIG YEAR END PARTY~” Results

December 18, 2015

3dish

TAVERN WRESTLING “~BIG YEAR END PARTY~”, 18/12/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
362 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yasu Urano & Yusuke Kubo defeated Akito & Ryota Nakatsu when Kubo pinned Nakatsu with the Nude Clutch (15:16).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao when Nakajima pinned Misao with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:49).
3. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Daichi Kazato & Kota Umeda when Endo pinned Umeda with the Torture Rack Bomb (17:12).
4. U.S.A Sakavivor Series – Nerima World Order Vs U.S.A Superstars: Sumo Rock, “Stone Cold” Sekine Ryuichin & Man Man Kai Kind defeated “Big Sexy” Hiroshi Fukuda, Hanolek Hogaso & Nerima Sting when Rock pinned Fukuda with the People’s Elbow (14:43).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Isamuashi Zan (14:29).

After spending a month banished to the dark matches in DDT, Kouki Iwasaki was given a shot at the main event with a non-title match against Isami Kodaka. But the gap of experience between the two was too large and Iwasaki struggled when Kodaka targeted his legs. Kodaka still praised him for being strong.

All hell broke loose in the Sakavivor Series match. Interference came in many forms. The first one was Booker T-ish (Suguru Miyatake) who did a spinaroonie. Then Tazz-ish (Yasu Urano) came out to choke out Man Man Kai Kind. After a referee bump out came the Dudley Boyz-ish. Bubba-ish (Shigehiro Irie) and D-Von-ish (Kazuki Hirata) gave Hiroshi Fukuda the Whassup! Headbutt while Spike-ish (???) watched on. Suddenly the Hardy Boyz-ish (SAGAT & ???) ran out to fight with the Dudleys-ish but they were given the 3D. Rob Van Dam-ish (Akito) attacked Spike-ish with a chair and cleared the ring until Hanolek Hogaso knocked him out with his belt. The Nerima World Order gave “Stone Cold” Sekine Ryuichin a beatdown but he kicked out of their finishers. The tables turned when the nWo accidentaly Clotheslined each other. That allowed the U.S.A team to gang up on Fukuda and pin him after the People’s Elbow from Sumo Rock. The nWo attacked Fukuda after the match and kicked him out of their group. The Undertaker-ish (Konosuke Takeshita) arrived on a scooter and it looked like Fukuda would be saved! Instead Taker-ish Choke Slammed and Power Bombed the U.S.A team and left the nWo alone.

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.

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.
