#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.

2. Saki Akamiya Vs Akane Miura

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.

For the main event Urano chose to team with Hi69 in a losing effort against HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda. All three became close friends with Urano over time. After the match Urano invited all of the wrestlers into the ring and thanked each of them (except Hiroshi Fukuda).

Dick Togo was at ringside to watch the MAX LUCHA LIBRE Title Match. Daisuke Sasaki called himself Chile’s and therefore the World’s strongest man after he successfully defended the title.

The foreign sports entertainment invasion cannot be stopped, in fact they had someone on the inside all along. Isami Kodaka was taken out of action at the beginning of the show when he was ambushed by Mankind-ish and left unconscious by the Mandible Claw. Luckily KI Punk was in the area and stepped in to replace Kodaka. Nerima Sting & “Hollywood” Hanolek Hogaso appeared wearing Nerima World Order T-shirts and brawled with their opponents. Punk almost submitted Sting with the Devil Lock but Hogaso pulled Daisuke Kiso out of the ring and knocked him out. All Hell broke loose when Mankind-ish returned. But Tazz-ish (Kouki Iwasaki) came out and stopped him with the Tazzmission. Kodaka was put through a world of hurt when he was given the Scorpion Death Drop, Leg Drop and Scorpion Deathlock in quick succession. He tapped out but the referee was still knocked out. Punk hit Sting with the GTS and went for the pin but Fukuda suddenly turned on him and attacked him with a baseball bat! Kiso woke up and called for a no contest. Fukuda joined the nWo but their celebration was interrupted by The Rock-ish (Kazusada Higuchi) and Stone Cold Steve Austin-ish (Ryuichi Sekine). They chased away the nWo and shared a beer with Punk. Austin-ish then gave Punk a Stunner.

10. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title went through 10 title changes during yesterday’s “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” press conference. Cherry took offence to Saki Akai talking about her hopes of winning the title in Osaka and tried to steal her spotlight. Akai responded by trying to pin Cherry to win the title. Cherry kicked out and pushed Akai away but was then pinned by Makoto Oishi. That led to a Headscissors chain that saw the title go through Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Masa Takanashi, Suguru Miyatake, Shunma Katsumata, Cherry and last but not least Gota Ihashi. Ihashi tried to woo Akai by taking off his wrestling tights but Akai knocked him out with a Head Kick. The tights fell on top of Ihashi and after a three count was declared the champion! Cherry was the only person brave enough to touch the tights and pin them to win back the title. She then ran away with everyone chasing after her.

Antonio Honda has confirmed his DDT Extreme Title match with Kendo Kashin will be fought under UWF Rules with pinfalls also allowed. However both Honda and Kashin have admitted at the time not knowing what the UWF Rules were.

6. MAX LUCHA LIBRE Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Yuki Sato with the Vietnam Driver II (20:54) (Special Referee: Dick Togo).
*V1 for Daisuke Sasaki.

Today saw a special show taking place for three wrestlers celebrating 10 years in the business. Daisuke Sasaki, Yuki Sato and Yusuke Kubo were part of the first graduating class for Dick Togo’s short lived SUPER CREW wrestling school back in 2005. Since then the three have seperated by wrestling in places like K-DOJO, Michinoku Pro, Big Japan and also overseas. Sasaki eventually found a home in DDT, Sato signed with K-DOJO and Kubo was last seen in Union before moving to a job behind the scenes.

The main event saw Sasaki in his first defence of Chile’s MAX LUCHA LIBRE Title against Sato with Dick Togo as the special guest referee. Sasaki Vs Sato was also the debut match for both wrestlers in the first SUPER CREW show 10 years ago. Sasaki was accompanied by Suguru Miyatake while Sato had his fellow K-DOJO wrestlers Tank Nagai, Kengo Mashimo and Yuma in his corner. Sasaki was able to win with his Vietnam Driver II. Togo afterwards gave full marks to both of his students and the match gets a perfect score from him!

After the semi-main event Isami Kodaka invited Kubo to join Pro Wrestling BASARA. Kubo shook his hand and accepted the offer.

The only other active graduate from SUPER CREW also wrestled on the show. Tomomitsu Matsunaga was from the school’s second class.

Isami Kodaka ran down to save Hiroshi Fukuda from a further beating after the match. “Hulk Hogan” (Antonio Honda) then appeared and yelled “You!” at Kodaka. Suddenly Nerima Sting attacked Kodaka with his baseball bat. Hogan and Sting did some posing for the crowd and then left. Fukuda said to Kodaka that Ultimate Superstars Action has finally come to Tavern Wrestling. He warned they will grow more dangerous until Tavern Wrestling is buried in darkness. He knows Hogan and Sting will return on the 25th November so they must join forces to stop them!

Kodaka challenged Jun Kasai to a singles match sometime down the line.

Aja Kong came to the show on short notice for an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title defence. She faced off against four opponents and defeated them with little trouble. Suguru Miyatake asked Kong after the match if they could begin a relationship together. Kong rejected him and called him LiLiCo’s hand me down. Miyatake attacked Kong and Cherry suddenly entered the ring to help Kong fight him off. Cherry hugged Kong but it was a trap! Cherry used a Judo throw to slam Kong onto the canvas and she then pinned her to win the Iron Man Title! Cherry said she was taking the belt with her all the way to Osaka.

The winner of the main event will pick one of the loser’s envelopes and the wrestler with his name in the envelope will be banished from Ganpuro. The rules of the match was No DQ for wrestlers against their own gender. So for example the men could attack each other with weapons but they had to wrestle the women normally and vice versa. The match got violent with both Ohka and Fujita getting busted open. Ohka had the match won when he hit the Spear Of Flame on Bambi but Madoka pulled the referee out of the ring during the pin. Fujita hit Ohka with a chair and then Tombstoned him onto a pile of chairs. Ohka was pulled up to his feet and Bambi hit a Shining Wizard to win the match for Tomodachi-gun. Fujita grabbed one of Ohka’s an envelope and pulled out the name Yukihiro Abe! Fujita mocked Abe for entering the Dramatic General Election because it turned out to all for nothing. Abe was furious at Ohka and stormed out of the ring.

Fujita then showed the names he wrote in his envelopes. They all said Ken Ohka. It was a trap, they were never going to follow the stipulation if they lost! Ohka was in tears screaming at his humiliation. He threatened to quit Ganpuro to save its honour but Shuichiro Katsumura convinced him not to. He offered to train Yumehito Imanari although he still requires a tuition fee of 10,000 yen. Ohka promised he will bring Abe back to Ganpuro.

Katsumura defeated the seemingly unstoppable Mr. No but it took a while to figure him out. Katsumura tried to apply the Ninja Choke to what he thought was No’s neck but it didn’t effect him. Katsumura studied No’s head and was able to find the spot where the Ninja Choke would work and proceeded to tap out his weird looking opponent.

Enjo-gun reminded everyone in Ganpuro that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Shibata beat Imanari into unconsciousness in the 3 Way Tag Match. Shibata afterwards said Ganpuro will burst into flames but Imanari stood up to him and said he is prepared to die for pro wrestling.

Former DDT wrestlers Yusuke Inokuma & Keisuke Masuda are an unexpected addition to Match #1.

Whenever they were booked in Union they always wound up becoming sick on the day of the show. They were also always supposed to take on the hideous and violent team of Gaijin A and Gaijin A.
