Beer Garden Fight 2016

July 26, 2016

DDT’s summer tradition is now in a new home. This year’s Beer Garden week takes place in Shinjuku FACE instead of Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Most of the shows are put together by a different wrestler or group every night. What follows is a whirlwind of beer and creativity with some crazy match ideas and side events.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DDT DAY~”, 08/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Toru Owashi
*Toru Owashi will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The week is supposed to begin with a KO-D Openweight Title match. This could change if Toru Owashi loses his Right To Challenge contract to someone else before then.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~SHUTEN-DOJI DAY~”, 09/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Scary Story That Surrounds Yukio Sakaguchi: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs X
2. Glove Match: Saki Akai Vs Gota Ihashi (Special Referee: KUDO)

Two Beer Garden traditions take place here. First is Hisaya Imabayashi telling a scary ghost story. The other is Gota Ihashi getting punched in the head so many times that it should be registered as a crime. This year might be more pleasant for him since he’s fighting the love of his life Saki Akai.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~HAPPY MOTELS DAY~”, 10/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Happy Motels Dinner Show: X Vs X
2. Tuxedo Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Next up Happy Motels will go the classy route. Konosuke Takeshita and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi wrestling in tuxedos. What could go wrong?

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DANSHOKU DINO DAY~”, 11/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Objectively And Scientifically Determine The Group Leader Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO
2. Lariat Pro Vs Knee Pro: Keisuke Ishii & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daiki Shimomura
3. Beer Garden Specialty Falls Count Anywhere Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs X
4. Something By Danshoku Dino: Danshoku Dino Vs X

There is usually one match where there is nothing but Lariats or Jumping Knee Strikes. Danshoku Dino decided to kill two birds with one stone. Meanwhile NωA fights among themselves to determine who is the leader.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~SMILE SQUASH DAY~”, 11/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Grand Sumo Tournament Summer Tournament: X Vs X
2. Akito Produce Match: Akito Vs Danshoku Dino

Smile Squash like their sumo tournaments.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DAMNATION DAY~”, 12/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fat Lumberjack Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani (Lumberjacks: Mad Paulie, Gota Ihashi)
2. Rounds Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masahiro Takanashi

4. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Mad Paulie & Tetsuya Endo Vs Masashi Takeda, Kazusada Higuchi & Choun-Shiryu

Oh dear God whose idea was it to put Yoshiko in the Blindfold Bra match?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~TOKYO JOSHI PRO DAY~”, 13/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuu Vs Akane Miura
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

The last day begins with the final rounds of the Tokyo Princess Cup.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DDT DAY~”, 13/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

So far nothing is announced for the final day. Since it is the final DDT show before “PETER PAN 2016” expect things to go out of control.

Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii have named their new unit Fantastic Memories and invited Super Sasadango Machine to join them. So far the group is made up of former members of Belt Hunter X Hunter.

KENSO has to prove to DDT management that he deserves to wrestle at “PETER PAN 2016”. Sanshiro Takagi has to prove he is a good wrestler and just going through a temporary slump. No matter who wins we lose.

Shinjuku FACE

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Uchikomi! Presents: Ken Ohka & KAI (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto
8. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The Tag Team Titles will be fought over by two pairs of brothers from other mothers. Ken Ohka & KAI aren’t the first wrestlers from separate promotions to bond together in DDT. HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto have been good buddies for a while and have teamed together at the last New Year’s Eve show.

Soma Takao is still undefeated at “PETER PAN” with a 7-0 record on the show. He can make it 8-0 and win the AJPW Jr. Title too if he beats Hikaru Sato.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is scheduled to return home next month. However its current trip around the world might make a return difficult. DDT is limited by who they can bring in for the Battle Royal. It is impossible for them to bring in any of the wrestlers who recently won the title overseas.

Super Sasadango Machine is now managing NωA and handling their efforts to enter the music industry. He organised a match against other wrestlers who have or had some sort of music career away from wrestling.

June 23, 2016

heaven-summit-final

BASARA “VAJRA 14 ~BRAVERY UNMATCHED~”, 23/06/2016
Shinjuku FACE
437 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Hercules Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Choun-Shiryu & Puroresu Mania Mask when Oosugi pinned Shiryu with a Jumping Backwards Rolling Cradle (6:00).
2. 99.9 ~Osaka Origin Wrestling Attorney~: Ryu Gouma defeated Atsushi Maruyama and Kikutaro when Gouma pinned Kikutaro after a Chop from Maruyama (8:45).
3. Masamune defeated Daichi Kazato with the Lightning Cutter (13:18).
4. Dance! Ueki 24 Hour Police Contact! Cavalry Big Investigation Aggregate SP: Ryuichi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto defeated Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Takayuki Ueki when Sekine pinned Ueki with the Ryusetsu (12:08).
5. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Hi69 & SAGAT defeated FUMA, Madoka & Yusuke Kubo when SAGAT pinned Kubo with the Gore Grind onto a chair (18:37).
6. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ Final: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Isami Kodaka with the Perfect Plex (23:41).

perfectplex-itadaki

In an upset, Hiroshi Fukuda has won the first ever Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament! BASARA’s token American wrestler went against Isami Kodaka with 500,000 yen on the line. Fukuda led the crowd with “USA” chants but had an uphill battle. Kodaka gave him a Brainbuster on the floor and tried to win by countout. Fukuda barely made it back in time. The tables turned when Fukuda rolled away from a Diving Double Knee Drop. Fukuda then applied a Figure Four Leg Lock. Kodaka countered the Perfect Plex into a Reverse Double Armbar. Kodaka hit the Diving Double Knee Drop but Fukuda kicked out. He blocked the Zan Isamuashi and gave Kodaka the Perfect Plex but that also resulted in a nearfall. Kodaka hit the Zeyyari but Fukuda hit back with a Brack Drop. He did one more Perfect Plex and this was the one to put Kodaka away! Fukuda now stands on top of BASARA!

trans-am-fukuda-wins

Exhausted after the main event, Kodaka presented Fukuda with the cash prize. Kodaka then announced BASARA will run Korakuen Hall for the first time on 25th December! Fukuda said the bruises covering his body from his match with Daisuke Sekimoto at the first BASARA show were all good for something. He then revealed today is the last day he is Hiroshi Fukuda. From now on he is Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi! He has climbed to the world’s highest level to become BASARA’s strongest foreigner!

tsukamoto-sagat

SAGAT is becoming a changed man after his experience in Heaven Summit. His face paint is gone, his long hair is now cut into a mohawk and he now wears a one strap singlet under his usual wrestling gear. His progression continued when he got the win in a Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Match. SAGAT shook Takumi Tsukamoto’s hand after the match and told him he felt lost until he met him. He was so anxious that he couldn’t speak until now. He thanks Tsukamoto for helping him.

cavalry-ueki

The trio of Takayuki Ueki and the Brahman Brothers pulled off a cheap shot on Cavalry when they attacked during a handshake at the start of Match #4. They placed a suitcase in between Ryota Nakatsu’s legs and threw a bowling ball into it. Ueki pulled out his gun but Ryuichi Sekine kicked it out of his hands. Ueki got the gun again and tried to take Cavalry’s stick horses captive. They were rescued and Ueki lost his nerve, begging for forgiveness. Sekine instead gave him the Ryusetsu kick to win the match.

masamune-kazato

Masamune gave credit to Daichi Kazato for hitting him with a good Axe Bomber.

maruyama-chop

Ryu Gouma has been paying attention to the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes in America that have been appearing on Twitter and Youtube throughout the week. By the time this show took place Kikutaro was the last known champion. So obviously Gouma’s goal was to beat Kikutaro in the 3 Way match and become the new champion. He tried to hit Kikutaro with his statute book but the referee stopped him. What followed was Gouma and the ref both grabbing the book and pulling it away from each other. It ended with the ref accidentally whacking Kikutaro in the head with the book, knocking him out. Atsushi Maruyama then Chopped Gouma in the back of the neck. Gouma fell on top of Kikutaro and Maruyama jumped on top of them for the three count. However the referee ruled that Gouma pinned Kikutaro so he was the winner! Gouma celebrated and asked where the title was. Kikutaro had to explain that he lost the championship to someone else in America before coming home and the video hadn’t been posted online yet.

puroresuman-unmasked

Puroresu Mask Man entered the ring to The Great Sasuke’s “Separados” theme song. He mimicked the moves of Ultimo Dragon and Tiger Mask. However he was left vulnerable when Tsutomu Oosugi unmasked him during a Hurricanrana attempt. Oosugi capitalised and pinned a distracted Choun-Shiryu.

Hakata Star Lane

Mizuki Watase has finally found a suitable choice for Makoto Oishi’s partner in the Stockholm Style Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Death Match. He originally wanted it to be Oishi’s ex-wife but that plan fell through. Instead he found Batten Burabura, a comedy wrestler who has wrestled for DDT in the past as Batten Tamagawa. The winner of the match needs to kiss their partner for 5 seconds. Watase intentionally picked Burabura so Oishi will have to kiss his ugly, rashed face if he wants to win.

BOYZ “DRAMATIC RAIN SPECIAL ~WOMEN FESTIVAL 11~” Results

June 1, 2016

boyz-dramatic-rain

BOYZ “DRAMATIC RAIN SPECIAL ~WOMEN FESTIVAL 11~”, 01/06/2016
Shinjuku FACE
447 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & Mizuki Watase when Ishii pinned Watase with the Tiger Suplex (10:58).
2. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Rekka with the Cross Facelock (11:53).
3. Joey Ryan & Guanchulo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata when Ryan pinned Hirata with the Super Kick (9:04).
4. Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & Mao Inoue defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Kota Umeda & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Inoue pinned Shimatani with the 450 Splash (9:04).
5. HARASHIMA & Masa Takanashi Vs Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

Before the main event began Masa Takanashi rejected a handshake from HARASHIMA. As the match reached its conclusion all four wrestlers hit a volley of moves but could not win the match. They were all exhausted when the time expired and the match was declared a draw.

The first match for NωA since its creation was a success. Shunma Katsumata hit a Lionsault on Nobuhiro Shimatani while Mao Inoue wiped out his partners with the Alien Plancha. Inoue then finished off Shimatani with the High Screw Kick and 450 Splash. The NωA led a dance routine with the other wrestlers at the end of the show. They all danced to “PERFECT HUMAN” by RADIO FISH.

This was Joey Ryan’s last match in Japan for the time being. He leaves the country with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship meaning the belt will now be defended in the United States.

The wrestlers were encouraged to wear either yukatas or summer casual clothing for the opening introductions. Daisuke Sasaki refused to take part.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Somato (16:11).
*V1 for HARASHIMA. Ken Ohka cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Ken Ohka made several appearances throughout the show before the main event. Each time he demanded HARASHIMA to come out so they could begin their KO-D Openweight Title match. But whenever HARASHIMA appeared Ohka backtracked and instead claimed he was out to get advice from the other wrestlers in the ring. The match finally happened in the main event as originally scheduled. Ohka hit the Spear Of Flame but only got a two count. He surprised HARASHIMA with a Dragon Suplex but another Spear was avoided and HARASHIMA hit the Somato to win. The champion didn’t expect Ohka to be so driven to win and was impressed by how strong he has gotten. Ohka cried and thanked HARASHIMA before leaving.

Kazusada Higuchi was invited to the ring to set up HARASHIMA’s next title match on 24th April. Higuchi said he’s been disciplining himself ever since HARASHIMA handed him his first loss in Sapporo last year. He said he has youth on his side and that is what will make him win.

Love is over! Daisuke Sasaki had to put his feelings for Candice LeRae aside as the two duked over the KO-D Tag Team Titles along with Shuji Ishikawa and Joey Ryan. At one point the canvas was covered in candy and gave Sasaki the Ball Plex onto them. But it all fell apart for the challengers when Ishikawa gave LeRae the Fire Thunder onto the candy. Sasaki was in tears and told LeRae “I’m sorry, I love you!” before hitting a Super Kick. He then gave her the Vietnam Driver II for the victory. After the match Sasaki thought it was a good time to propose to LeRae one more time but he was turned down as usual. Sasaki wouldn’t take no for an answer and tried to leave the ring with LeRae over his shoulders. The New Gen Combo came to the rescue and then challenged the champions to a rematch. Sasaki instead demanded a match with LeRae and Johnny Gargano! Amon Tsurumi said there was no chance of it happening so the New Gen Combo are now the No. 1 Contenders.

Three more Right To Challenge contracts are now in play. A Battle Royal was held with a contract given to whoever could score an elimination by pinfall or submission. Saki Akai, Danshoku Dino and Antonio Honda won the remaining contracts. Kazuki Hirata once again failed to get one. At least he still has Aja Kong.

Team DNA just barely got out of Shinjuku FACE with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still in their grips. Shunma Katsumata caught Kota Umeda with a cradle but the two teams continued fighting after the bell rang. When they were kept apart Katsumata said their win wasn’t a fluke, it instead proved they can’t be stopped. Their goal as champions is to beat all of the senior wrestlers in DDT.

KENSO interfered in the opening match to again ask Sanshiro Takagi if he could join DDT permanently. Gota Ihashi got involved and got in a fight with KENSO. A missed Big Boot hitting Takagi allowed Ihashi to win the match via a roll up. KENSO ignored that and went back to asking about joining DDT. He will not give up because it his his dream to join DDT and wrestle for its amazing fans. Takagi said no. He instead brought out Taiwanese wrestler Rekka and asked him to join DDT and DNA. KENSO said he wanted to join more than Rekka but he was again told no. Takagi revealed he’s been in contact with New Taiwan Pro Wrestling and was impressed with Rekka’s hard work. DDT will hold its first show in Taiwan this November and DDT hopes Rekka will become a star in time for the show. KENSO yet again tried to get Takagi’s attention so a decision was made to have KENSO Vs Rekka in Saitama on 2nd April.

In a preview of their DDT Extreme Title match next week, Shigehiro Irie pinned Super Sasadango Machine. Sasadango didn’t even realise Irie was his next opponent until after the match. But he might have learned a few clues towards what Irie’s weaknesses are.

Ohka Desires Title, Sasaki Desires Candice, Sasadango Desires Not Losing

March 24, 2016

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Ken Ohka
*Ken Ohka will cash in in Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The first Right To Challenge Contract is already being cashed in. Ken Ohka is wasting no time and wants to fight HARASHIMA for the KO-D Openweight Title this Saturday. Ohka is not giving HARASHIMA any time to recover from Sumo Hall while he himself got through the show without a scratch. He knows HARASHIMA isn’t 100% and probably has an injured knee or foot from his match with Isami Kodaka. He has all the respect in the world for the champion and they have a strong bond after their match with Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu last year. But his desire to win the KO-D Title again is even stronger.

Daisuke Sasaki nominated The World’s Cutest Tag Team as the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He wants revenge on Candice LeRae for turning down his marriage proposal just to get engaged to someone else afterwards. Sasaki admits he’s thinking with his crotch instead of his head. He even wants to fight LeRae’s fiancée Johnny Gargano! Amon Tsurumi is allowing the title match to happen due to Sasaki’s insistence but did point out the former champions Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo also want a title rematch.

Turns out there is one more Right To Challenge Contract up for grabs.

In an odd turn of events Super Sasadango Machine wanted to vacate the DDT Extreme Title and reward it to Antonio Honda. Tsurumi asked why and he said he wanted to give the belt to Honda as a lifetime achievement award. His request was refused so he asked if he could lend the belt to Honda instead. When that was turned down he admitted he didn’t want to defend the title until the 20th Anniversary show in Saitama Super Arena next year. Then he admitted he would rather give the belt to Honda instead of losing it to him.
