BOYZ “DRAMATIC RAIN SPECIAL ~WOMEN FESTIVAL 15~” Results

June 14, 2017

BOYZ “DRAMATIC RAIN SPECIAL ~WOMEN FESTIVAL 15~”, 14/06/2017
Shinjuku FACE
391 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao (Red) defeated Mizuki Watase & Rekka (Blue) when Takao pinned Rekka with the Gin And Tonic (7:41).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo (Blue) defeated Lady Beard & Shunma Katsumata (Red) when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Shooting Star Press (9:40).
3. HARASHIMA (Red) defeated Yuki Ueno (Blue) with the Somato (7:42).
4. Yukio Collection A.T. & Hirata Collection A.T. (Blue) defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Nobuhiro Shimatani (Red) when Yukio submitted Shimatani with the Yukio Lock (9:26).
5. KUDO & Makoto Oishi (Red) defeated Akito & Masahiro Takanashi (Blue) when Oishi pinned Takanashi with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (12:47).
*Red Team defeats Blue Team 3-2.

The BOYZ roster was split into two teams for a show long contest where the audience were challenged to predict the results. In the end the Red Team defeated the Blue Team 3-2. Akito complained about the result after the main event and got into an argument with Nobuhiro Shimatani over it. Johnny Etajima got them to settle down. He announced the next BOYZ show will be held on 30th October and will be a Hallowe’en special.

The theme of this BOYZ show was Kabukicho host clubs. All of the wrestlers except for DAMNATION appeared dressed as club hosts and carrying roses. Yukio Sakaguchi was furious when he found out Hirata Collection A.T. was wearing the same outfit as him. He threw his rose at Hirata and then stormed off, never to be seen on the show again. Hirata had to wrestle Konosuke Takeshita & Nobuhiro Shimatani two against one until somebody unexpected came to the rescue. It was Hirata’s senior from high school, Yukio Collection A.T.! Together they defeated their opponents and celebrated with a model walk.

Mizuki Watase did not have enough time to return to the locker room after the opening ceremony so he stayed in the ring to change into his wrestling gear for the first match.

8. King Of DDT 2017 – Final: X Vs X

Keisuke Ishii has been going through a slump ever since he lost the AJPW Jr. Title. He figured out that in order to solve his problem, he should look back to his origin. He should go back to 2007 when he was a trainee in the All Japan dojo. Ishii has asked Kaz Hayashi, who was an attendant of the dojo at the time, to come help him out. Hayashi remembers Ishii from the dojo. So many new recruits sign up and quit over the years that it is easy to lose track but Hayashi said he has an intense memory of the day Ishii quit. Normally when trainees quit the dojo they escape during the middle of the night without telling anybody. But Ishii simply apologised to his trainers, told them he was quitting and left. Ishii remembered an exercise where the trainees had to run behind a Porsche car for 25km. When it was Ishii’s turn to drive the Porsche he was so nervous of causing an accident that he stepped on the brakes a lot. Hayashi doesn’t remember this story but joked that the Porsche does have a scratch on it. He is happy to answer Ishii’s request for help.

Sanshiro Takagi & Ken Ohka Vs Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine was originally supposed to be a part of this show. Ohka feels indebted to Takagi, Dino and Sasadango for his career and hopes to repay them. Dino & Sasadango both found his comments funny and they wondered why Ohka was going to help Takagi beat them. They called him a slave and said Atsushi Onita would cry if he found out what Ohka was doing. They riled up Ohka so much that he demanded to switch sides so all three of them could beat Takagi 3 on 1. Amon Tusurmi obliged for some reason.

Danny Duggan is coming over from Canadian Wrestling’s Elite. He will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Wrestling the day before too.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2ND ROUND” Results

June 4, 2017

DDT “KING OF DDT 2ND ROUND”, 04/06/2017
Shinjuku FACE
404 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Hirata Collection A.T. when Katsumata pinned Hirata with the Katsumata-Style Guillotine (6:48).
2. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie defeated Soma Takao, Kouki Iwasaki & Yuki Ueno and Danshoku Dino, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda when Sasaki submitted Honda with the Cross Facelock (11:14).
3. Kazusada Higuchi & Mike Bailey defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Diego when Bailey pinned Takeshita with the Green Tea Plunge (13:22).
*Mike Bailey wins Konosuke Takeshita’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
4. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 2: Akito defeated Masahiro Takanashi with the Scorpion Lock (5:04).
5. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 2: Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO with The Tetsuya In The Sky With Diamonds (14:16).
6. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 2: HARASHIMA defeated Yukio Sakaguchi by TKO with a Modified Sleeper Hold (15:50).
7. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 2: Shigehiro Irie defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Beast Bomber (14:32).

A clash between former Team Drift friends headlined the King Of DDT 2nd Round. Shigehiro Irie went over Keisuke Ishii with two Beast Bombers and he survived the Kneel Kick along the way. Ishii wanted to shake Irie’s hand after the match but he got a hug instead.

HARASHIMA outwrestled Yukio Sakagachi to advance to the semi-finals. Sakaguchi cut off the Somato with a Jumping Middle Kick then applied a Sleeper Hold. HARASHIMA fought out of it and locked in a Cross Armbreaker. He changed it into a Modified Sleeper Hold and kept it tight until Sakaguchi lost consciousness. When he came to, Sakaguchi accepted the result and shook HARASHIMA’s hand.

Tetsuya In The Sky With Diamonds continues to give Tetsuya Endo victories, this time putting away KUDO. The big turn in momentum came when KUDO aimed to hit the Diving Double Knee Drop to Endo on the apron but Endo moved. KUDO kicked out of the Swan Dive Firebird Splash but Endo’s new finisher knocked him out of the tournament.

Masahiro Takanashi disguised himself in normal clothes and ambushed Akito from the crowd. When the plan didn’t beat Akito immediately, Takanashi panicked because he exhausted all of his tactics for the match! He thought on the fly and gave Akito a Low Blow followed by a roll up. However Diego was there to tell the ref that Takanashi was cheating. Akito regained positioning and trapped Takanashi in the Scorpion Lock to tap him out.

A draw was held at the end of the show to determine the semi-finals. Akito and Tetsuya Endo drew each other while HARASHIMA got Shigehiro Irie. The semi-finals and final takes place in Korakuen Hall on 25th June.

Konosuke Takeshita no longer has his backup plan. Mike Bailey pinned the KO-D Openweight Champion in a tag match to win his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. Bailey recovered from a Dragon Suplex to catch Takeshita with a Moonsault Power Slam for the three count. Bailey asked Amon Tsurumi when the next KO-D Title match was scheduled. He was told 2nd July at Shinjuku Village Studio C 106. Bailey said he will defend the contract until that date so he can be the challenger.

Takeshita’s threats for the title didn’t end there. Naomi Yoshimura entered the ring to confront him again. He told the audience the same stories he told Takeshita a few days ago. His family fell apart, he was told to quit school by his teacher and now it turns out a girl named Mari-chan he had a crush on in school turned him down for someone else. Yoshimura blames Takeshita for breaking his family apart and stealing his first love so Yoshimura will cash in his Right To Challenge Contract when the time is right to make it memorable.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “AT THIS TIME, GET EXCITED IN SHINJUKU!” Results

June 4, 2017

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “AT THIS TIME, GET EXCITED IN SHINJUKU!”, 04/06/2017
Shinjuku FACE
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. The Debut From The First Year And A Half Showdown!: Nodoka-oneesan defeated Marika Kobashi with the Back Flip (5:53).
2. Now, Fighting Idol Vs Underground Idol Announcer! Special Single Match: Maki Itoh Vs Azusa Takigawa ended in a Double Countout (11:17).
3. Shinjuku Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Mizuki with the Attitude Adjustment (9:18).
4. Miss Tokyo Sports 2017 Struggle: Yuna Manase defeated Nonoko with the Kakato Drop (10:10).
5. Tokyo Joshi Pro The Smallest And Biggest Decisive Battle!: Shoko Nakajima defeated Reika Saiki with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:32).
6. Grudge Settlement! Losing Unit Dissolution Match: Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone defeated Saki-sama & Martha (w/ Dr. Hayashi) when Tatsumi submitted Martha with the Dragon Sleeper (12:51).
7. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Yuu (c) with the Magical Girl Splash (20:07).
*Yuu fails in V5. Yuka Sakazaki becomes the 3rd TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion!

Yuka Sakazaki is your new TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion! The magic girl served Yuu her first pinfall loss in pro wrestling when she countered the Last Ride into a DDT. Sakazaki then hit two Magical Girl Splashes with the second including a twist to win the match. In her victory speech she said she wanted the title back when Miyu Yamashita was the first champion but she couldn’t beat her for it. She credited her training excursion for making her strong enough to beat Yuu. She’s finally arrived at the top and she is enjoying the view.

At last SIN Biishiki-gun’s foul play has blown up in their faces. When the referee was knocked out by a mop, Dr. Hayashi filled his hands with powder and threw it at Rika Tatsumi. However Tatsumi dodged it and Martha got blinded instead! Tatsumi put Martha in the Dragon Sleeper and Martha gave up when the referee got back into the match. The Dragon Bombers celebrated beating SIN Biishiki-gun once and for all while Saki-sama complained to Dr. Hayashi. That’s not all. Dr. Hayashi told Saki that she has been infected by a disease and must return to Paris immediately to get treatment. After they left, Tatsumi thanked Maho Kurone for fighting with her. Their team will not end here because they still have a story to tell. She asked Kurone what she would like for a celebration meal. Kurone said she wanted human. Tatsumi thinks there’s a place in Kabukicho where they can get it.

Shoko Nakajima has high goals set in place and beating Reika Saiki is just the start of it. She wants to reach the final of the Tokyo Princess Cup for the fourth time in a row and become the first person to win it twice. From there she will challenge for the TOKYO Princess Title.

Nonoko brought out photographs of her and Yuna Manase’s gravure work from 10 years ago. Nonoko said that she hasn’t changed much since then but Manase definitely has. She rubbed the photos against Manase’s face during the match but her insults backfired. Nonoko lost the match when she slipped on the photos and Manase hit the Kakato Drop for the pin.

Azusa Takigawa turned back the clock and returned to her singing days by reforming her idol duo Aime with her friend CHIKA. They performed their song “Summer Mode ☆” then Takigawa had her match with Maki Itoh. During the match Takigawa got on the microphone and took out a CD. She said it was a LinQ album and if Itoh really loves LinQ then she should come take it off her. It was a ploy by Takigawa to try and count out Itoh but she made it back to the ring at the 19 count. They fought each other outside the ring again and this time both of them were counted out. Itoh asked Tetsuya Koda for the match to restart but she was denied due to time constraints. Both Itoh and Takigawa kicked at Koda then told each other they won’t lose next time.

Itoh came back out during intermission and was expected to promote the Korakuen Hall show on 26th August. Instead she called out Weekly Playboy magazine for not asking her to appear in the Joshi Wrestling feature from the latest issue. She will wear any sweaty swimsuit, do any pose and eat any banana in a photoshoot to be in the magazine!

DDT “KING OF DDT 1ST ROUND” Results

June 2, 2017

DDT “KING OF DDT 1ST ROUND”, 02/06/2017
Shinjuku FACE
390 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi defeated Antonio Honda & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Owashi pinned Shimatani with a Crushed Body Slam (6:14).
2. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: Akito defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Scorpion Lock (6:14).
3. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: Masahiro Takanashi defeated Hirata Collection A.T. with a Cradle (8:02).
4. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: KUDO defeated Soma Takao with the Diving Double Knee Drop (8:30).
5. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: Tetsuya Endo defeated Mike Bailey with the Tetsuya In The Sky With Diamonds (16:00).
6. Konosuke Takeshita & Diego defeated Kouki Iwasaki & MAO when Diego pinned MAO with the VHS (9:58).
7. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Right Knee Of God (7:42).
8. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: HARASHIMA defeated Kazusada Higuchi with the Somato (11:24).
9. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii defeated Danshoku Dino with the Kneel Kick (10:47).
10. King Of DDT 2017 – Round 1: Shigehiro Irie defeated Mad Paulie with the Beast Bomber (11:45).

Today’s show was dominated by Round 1 action for the King Of DDT 2017. Shigehiro Irie avenged his defeat to Mad Paulie from a month ago by beating him in the main event here. It took two Beast Bombers to put the DAMNATION pet away. Irie shook Paulie’s hand after the match.

Keisuke Ishii beat his old buddy Danshoku Dino to advance. Ishii went all out with the finish, hitting a Dangerous Exploder, Fisherman Buster and then the Kneel Kick for the three count. Dino realises he is at the point of his career where he doesn’t have many opportunities left, so today’s defeat tells him that his best opportunity to headline Sumo Hall this year is now gone.

The back and forth rivalry between HARASHIMA and Kazusada Higuchi leaned back towards HARASHIMA’s favour when he won with the Somato. Higuchi blocked the move at first but HARASHIMA put all his strength into the move to put Higuchi down and out.

Yukio Sakaguchi eliminated Shunma Katsumata with a nasty looking Right Knee Of God. Sakaguchi hit the move when Katsumata rebounded off the ropes and leapt into the air for an attack of his own. The Right Knee caught him in mid air and scored the win for Sakaguchi. He promises to knock out HARASHIMA the same way in the next round!

Another rivalry continued in Round 1 with Tetsuya Endo beating Mike Bailey in the longest match of the show. Many flips were had but the end came when Endo chased Bailey up the turnbuckle and gave him the Spanish Fly off the top rope. Endo now calls that move Tetsuya In The Sky With Diamonds.

In non-tournament action, ALL OUT defeated NωA with Diego scoring the pin. Diego explained his recent name change. He heard a good story that if he changed his name then his life would change too. The good atmosphere backstage afterwards was interrupted when Naomi Yoshimura confronted Konosuke Takeshita. For some reason Yoshimura blames Takeshita for all of his problems. Every time Yoshimura lost a sumo bout? Takeshita’s fault. Yoshimura’s family falling apart? Takeshita’s fault. Yoshimura getting expelled from school? Takeshita’s fault. So Yoshimura will use his Right To Challenge Contract to get revenge when Takeshita least expects it.

As much as Soma Takao tried to avoid KUDO’s rapid kicks, he was eventually caught with a Buzzsaw Kick and put away with the Diving Double Knee Drop. KUDO thinks his next round opponent Endo is lying when he says he is not interested in fighting anybody. KUDO wants to win the King Of DDT because he wants to fight Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Title. Endo should think the same.

Masahiro Takanashi finally got his hands on Hirata Collection A.T. one on one but it took some effort to beat him. Hirata trapped him in a Paradise Lock then took the time to do a model walk with Hiranito Collection A.T. and DJ Nira. When Takanashi was freed Hirata trapped him in the Hirata Lock. But Takanashi countered the move into a Cradle for the flash three count.

The first match of the tournament had Akito defeating Daisuke Sasaki in convincing fashion. Akito countered Sasaki’s Hurricanrana into the Scorpion Lock for the submission victory. Sasaki’s reaction to the loss was to give his DDT Extreme Title belt to Akito and leave ringside without it. It seems that Sasaki is so upset over missing out on the Sumo Hall main event that he no longer cares about being the Extreme Champion. Akito was happy to take the belt with him but Amon Tsurumi took it back before he walked through the curtain.

Antonio Honda mixed up his storytelling today. This time he wondered what the story “Kita No Kuni Kara” would be like if it had John Lennon in it. Nobuhiro Shimatani’s enthusiasm to Body Slam Toru Owashi cost him the match. Owashi was too heavy for him and he simply landed on top of Shimatani for the pin.

The 2nd Round matches are Akito Vs Masahiro Takanashi, KUDO Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA and Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie. They will take place on 4th June.

A 1,000,000 yen cash prize and a KO-D Openweight Title shot at Sumo Hall is waiting for the winner of this year’s King Of DDT tournament. Some rivalries and grudges will be revisited in the first round. Masahiro Takanashi had been wanting a singles match with Hirata Collection A.T. ever since the Italian showed up in DDT. Tetsuya Endo and Mike Bailey still have bad blood between them going back to the DAMNATION Vs Happy Motels feud. Kazusada Higuchi and HARASHIMA had big clashes before and Higuchi just recently pinned HARASHIMA to win his RTC contract. Shigehiro Irie Vs Mad Paulie is a rematch from last month where Paulie scored the upset victory.

Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Soma Takao

The new KO-D Tag Team Champions already have their first defence lined up. Shigehiro Irie’s goal is to keep the titles so he and Kazusada Higuchi can defend them in a YaroZ show. The challengers are Smile Squash but they may be renamed before then. Soma Takao thinks they should not use the name without Yasu Urano who will be out of contract with DDT by then.
