DDT “SHUTEN-DOJI BOX OFFICE ~WHAT ARE CHERRY BLOOSOMS WITHOUT ALOCOHOL~”, 22/07/2015
Shinjuku FACE
600 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. He Can’t Stand Anymore, That’s Enough, Oh God Save Him – Punch Drunk Glove Match: Hoshitango & Kosei Kubota defeated Tanomusaku Toba & Kota Umeda when Hoshitango knocked out Toba with a Right Hook (7:53).
2. You And I Are Prepared For The Beautifully Scattered Cherry Blossoms: Daichi Kakimoto Vs Masahiro Takanashi ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie and Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda when Higuchi submitted Fukuda with the Modified Canadian Backbreaker (11:08).
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Yasu Urano, Akito, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Suguru Miyatake when Hirata pinned Miyatake with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:55).
5. Sakura Feast Soon, Greedy Old Hag In Longevity, Gorgeous’ Friendly Premature Death, Gorgeous Brahman No Return: Masa Takanashi, Emi Sakura & Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Gorgeous Matsuno when Takanashi pinned Matsuno after Matsuno missed the Swanton Bomb (11:54).
6. Soon Men And Women Will Quietly Sleep Drunk 5 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Soma Takao Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Saki Akai ended in a Draw when everyone was knocked out after drinking liquor.
7. KUDO & Kengo Mashimo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Isami Kodaka when KUDO pinned Kodaka with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi kept their distance in the ring during the opening speeches. Masa Takanashi kept apologising for the sudden change of teams in the main event. For the match itself Takanashi refused to take sides and stood watching at the neutral corner outside the ring. During the closing show speech Sakaguchi briefly thanked the fans for attending and left when it was KUDO’s turn to speak. KUDO said he does not know what will happen to his relationship with Sakaguchi but Shuten-dōji will still exist and their planned Beer Garden show next month is still happening.

Everybody in the 5 Way match had to drink shots of tequila whenever drinking music played over the speakers. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that everyone got drunk. Konosuke Takeshita was stopped from drinking because he was mistaken for a minor. When he pointed out he is 20 years old (the legal drinking age in Japan) everybody congratulated him. All five wrestlers rolled each other around in failed pinning attempts until they all collapsed from dizziness. Everyone was too drunk to get back on their feet and they were all counted out.

Takanashi was blinded with black ink in Match #5. Gorgeous Matsuno tried to capitalise with the Swanton Bomb but missed his target. Takanashi recovered his eyesight and pinned Matsuno afterwards.

Everyone in Match #4 wound up wrestling bare-assed by the end of their bout.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Champion Vs Champion seems to be all the rage lately. Kodaka is challenging FUMA to a Union Max Title match for a second time. FUMA beat Kodaka in his first defence back in March but did so with the help of his King Legion. No word yet on if Kodaka’s Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title will also be on the line.

6. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fall To The Hell Match: Akito (c) Vs Antonio Honda

Antonio Honda did a good job convincing Akito for a DDT Extreme Title match. They will fight under Fall Into The Hell rules. The ring ropes will be removed and victory can be achieved by pinfall, submission or knocking the opponent out of the ring.

There is no official stipulation added to Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie. However if Irie beats Sakaguchi again for the third time this month it will surely lead to changes in the Sumo Hall main event.

Shinjuku FACE
325 Fans

1. Women’s Single Match: Chikayo Nagashima defeated Risa Sera with the Fisherman Buster (7:37).
2. 6-Person Tag Match: Misaki Ohata, Tsukasa Fujimoto & Mayumi Ozaki defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Hamuko Hoshi & Mochi Miyagi when Ozaki pinned Fukuda with a Small Package (17:14).
3. 4 Organization 4 Way Match: Aoi Kizuki, Cherry and Kaho Kobayashi defeated Dynamite Kansai when all three pinned Kansai at the same time (7:19).
4. Hard Mixed Singles Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Yumi Ohka with the Isamuashi Zan (11:34).
5. Mixed Tag Match: Aja Kong & SAGAT defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Neko Nitta when Kong pinned Nitta with the Vertical Brainbuster (11:21).
6. Main Event Singles Match: Mio Shirai Vs Arisa Nakajima ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
6a. Overtime: Arisa Nakajima defeated Mio Shirai with the Dharma Style German Suplex (2:09).

Both Mio Shirai and Arisa Nakajima fought their hearts out in a 30 minute draw. They shook hands at the beginning of the match but Shirai immediately threw a High Kick to start things off. At the 15 minute mark they brawled out of the ring and brought chairs into the match. When 5 minutes remained Shirai locked in the Figure 4 Necklock and Nakajima spent some time trying to escape it. In the final seconds of the match Nakajima hit the Dharma Suplex but the bell rang before she could get the three count. Nakajima pleaded with Shirai to restart the match because she wanted a definitive winner for their last singles match together. Shirai agreed and the match went to overtime with no time limit. The two quickly tried to get the advantage with strikes and finisher attempts until Nakajima hit the Dharma Suplex again and this time got the pin. Nakajima thanked Shirai for he exciting match afterwards.

Isami Kodaka got the better of Yumi Ohka and there seems to be a measure of respect between the two now. However they both gestured towards having a rematch at some point in the future.

The 4 Way Match was pretty much a 3 Vs 1 Handicap match. Aoi Kizuki, Cherry and Kaho Kobayashi were all wary of facing Dynamite Kansai on their own so they all decided to team up on her instead. While the three did eventually wrestle each other they still ganged up on Kansai when the opportunity presented itself. The end came when the trio all Dropkicked Kansai and then jumped on top of her for a triple pin. Kizuki, Cherry and Kobayashi were all pleased with the result.

Hiroshi Fukuda was in the mood for some singing and got the Lovely Butchers to join him midway through the opening match. He also convinced Misaki Ohata and Tsukasa Fujimoto to sing too. Mayumi Ozaki refused to do it but eventually gave in. When she finished she gave Fukuda a Low Blow kick and pinned him with a Small Package.

Yusuke Kubo is grateful for the opportunity to wrestle for the Union MAX Title. Not just for himself but for FUMA and the rest of the new generation in Union.

At the age of 28, Hiroshi Fukuda is beginning to consider retirement and what his lasting impact will be on the industry. He wants future generations of Japanese wrestlers to behave more like the gentlemen from Europe and the United States.

MIZUHO is unable to wrestle due to poor health. However she will be in attendance to perform a song with her group SEXY PANIC.

Chikage Kiba has again opted not to wrestle due to a lack of practice. She’s been unable to train lately (I think she is currently in college) and only wants to wrestle when she is satisfied with her progress.
