6. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Times Fall Match: Masa Takanashi defeated Danshoku Dino (c) with a Leg Roll Clutch (13:48).
*Danshonu Dino fails in V2. Masa Takanashi becomes the 27th DDT Extreme Champion!
7. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when KUDO pinned Urano with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

Akito found himself at a crossroads now that he is out of the KO-D Openweight Title picture. He could have gone back to teaming with Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi but he instead decided to do something new to become more powerful. What that was he didn’t reveal until after the main event. He approached the victorious Shuten-dōji with a can of beer in his hand. But just when it looked like he was about to have a toast with them he instead sprayed the beer in Masa Takanashi’s face! Akito then walked over to HARASHIMA and said they could make many dreams come true if they teamed together. HARASHIMA welcomed him to the team and he told Yasu Urano it was pretty nifty that Akito wanted to join them.

The DDT Extreme Title was up for grabs in a 3 Times Fall Match. The goal of the match is to pin your opponent for three seconds in a row. The catch is it did not have to happen in the same pinning attempt. For example at the start of the match Masa Takanashi quickly cradled Danshoku Dino for a two count. If Takanashi pinned Dino again he would just need a one count to win since he would have scored 3 seconds in a row. However quickly afterwards Dino pinned Takanashi for a two count, so Dino’s pin score was set back to zero while Takanashi was now in danger of losing. Takanashi was able to pin Dino to win the champiosnhip with a straight three count (pun not intended) when he countered the Gay-do Clutch into a Leg Roll Clutch. The new Extreme Champion then “honored” the former champ by calling him a “dumb bastard” and an “ugly fucking loser”. Makoto Oishi came to Dino’s aid and challenged Takanashi to a title match. Amon Tsurumi booked the match for Nagoya on 25th May. Oishi then said he wanted it to be the return of the Idol Lumberjack Death Match! Takanashi accepted and said he would have Emi Sakura on his side. Oishi mentioned she’s too mature to count as an idol but whatever.

Michael Nakazawa had a mountain to climb as he took on the no nonsense badass Minoru Suzuki. Nakazawa was convinced he could win and tried his best, he even attempted to summon his fighting spirit by getting into a chop battle. Suzuki wasn’t impressed and easily trapped Nakazawa in different submission holds. Every time Nakazawa was put in a hold he yelled “Impossible!” and wanted to give up. But Suzuki didn’t want the match to end so soon and he let go of his opponent just so he could apply more submissions. Suzuki eventually choked out Nakazawa with a Sleeper and was going to do the Gotch-Style Piledriver until Nakazawa tapped out before he was lifted off his feet. Suzuki didn’t care and he lifted up Nakazawa for the move until Yukinori Matsui stepped in and stopped him. When Nakazawa regained consciousness he asked Suzuki if they could team together. Suzuki shook Nakazawa’s hand but refused to let go. If Nakazawa wants to team with him so much then he’ll do it! In three months time they will team together. During those three months he’ll be training very hard and he wants Nakazawa to do the same so by the time they team up Nakazawa won’t be what he is now but he will instead become a hybrid wrestler! Suzuki already ordered Nakazawa to begin his first training session by doing 100 push ups right there in the ring. Nakazawa complained but Suzuki yelled that he summoned the demon instructor and must do what he says. Nakazawa could only do 10 push ups before collapsing. It’s going to be a long road ahead for him.

The Falls Count Anywhere Match was chaos. First of all, Kazuki Hirata did not appear with his team mates when they entered the ring. The match began with Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi suffering a 3-on-2 Handicap disadvantage until Hirata finally appeared in the crowd dancing to Magnum TOKYO’s theme song. When he entered the ring, Owashi stopped the dancing by Shoulder Blocking his partner. Takagi dragged Kota Ibushi out of the ring and then attacked him with a kewpie doll. Ibushi defended himself by twisting Takagi’s arm over and over. Hirata threw Kenny Omega into a closing elevator and turned around thinking he was now gone. The elevator opened up and Kenny reappeared to School Boy Hirata for a nearfall. Takagi and Daisuke Sasaki brawled over to a place selling adult DVDs and they had a duel using the DVDs as swords. Ibushi got a bicycle!!! He cycled into Hirata’s crotch while Omega and Sasaki held him in place. A box of posters was then brought in and used to great effect. Ibushi did his best Steve Blackman impression and attacked Hirata with the rolled up posters. Omega then somehow used a poster to power up his Hadouken launching Hirata into Ibushi’s German Suplex. Omega then placed the cardboard box over Hirata’s head and with Sasaki performed the PK Heart to win the match. Afterwards Takagi talked about Minoru Suzuki training somebody as useless as Michael Nakazawa. Suzuki then walked out with Nakazawa and forced him to wheelbarrow down to the ring. Suzuki said he can turn a useless dickwad into a hybrid wrestler in three months. He then lifted up Nakazawa for a Gotch-Style Piledriver and forced him to do push ups from that position.

Danshoku Dino passed a message on to Guanchulo from his mother. Guanchulo wanted his mom to attend his final show for DDT on 20th May but according to her message she will be visiting China on that date. However, she will send another message that will be shown to Guanchulo on the 20th.

Shun Miyatake was again told he will not debut properly if he keeps losing so easily in his exhibition matches.

Akitoshi Saito will compete on the 25th May show. Danshoku Dino expressed interest in having a match with him that night.

The line-up for King Of DDT 2014 was revealed. The winner of the 16-man tournament gets a main event KO-D Openweight Title shot at Sumo Hall on 17th August. This year there will be three qualifying matches for tournament spots. Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Daisuke Sasaki, Akito, Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata and Tetsuya Endo will have to wrestle each other in matches that will take place on the 17th, 25th and 29th of May. The rest of the field are Makoto Oishi, Keisuke Ishii, Konosuke Takeshita, MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Yasu Urano, Yukio Sakaguchi, Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi and the loser of KUDO Vs HARASHIMA. Shigehiro Irie will not enter because he has a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Cherry announced the main event of her 10th Anniversary show on 1st June will be her against Aja Kong! They previously had a singles match on 13th November 2011 for Cherry’s “FANTASY ILLUSION” show. Cherry wrestled that match with a broken jaw so she was given a special rule where Jaiko Ishikawa was allowed to interfere and fight Kong. This time Cherry is in full health and she wants to face Kong under normal circumstances. Cherry also decided she will team with Danshoku Dino for her mixed tag match against Ladybeard & Saki Akai in Union on 18th May.

Antonio Honda announced a new match for his Anniversary show also on 1st June. It will be HARASHIMA, Riho & DJ Nira Vs Yuji Hino, Emi Sakura and The Great Kojika.

With HARASHIMA claiming a Right To Challenge Contract and declaring he will cash it in against KUDO on 25th May, the two get to face against each other beforehand in a 6-Man Tag. I wonder what state of mind Yasu Urano will be in since he just cashed in his contract and lost to KUDO.

Poison Sawada JULIE revealed his intentions to prevent Sanshiro Takagi from retiring the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. According to Sawada he possesses an ancient lighter from the Inca Empire which can be used to burn the championship belt. When burnt, a treasure map of Arica appears on the belt’s strap. If Takagi gets his way and retires the championship he will have the belt all to himself. Sawada does not want Takagi to discover the map and go after the ancient treasure so he travelled to an old hideout and searched for a certain item to help him. Even though the cave has become desolate over the years and many of his possessions are no longer kept there, he was able to find what he wanted. S Cells! These are potions that contain the power of Snake magic. Sawada then found Antonio Honda and used the S Cells to turn him into Snake Antonio! Now under Sawada’s spell, Antonio has been ordered to defeat Takagi at all costs and become the 1000th champion!

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Two more names have been entered into the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament. Ganpuro regular Gorikiko enters representing Judo. Then there is the MMA competitor who is just going by the name of Shibata. Probably best not to get your hopes up thinking it is Katsuyori Shibata. I really doubt it’s him.

The team that wins the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship at Korakuen Hall will have little time to prepare for the next challengers. Shuten-dōji have already stepped up for a title shot.

1. Antonio Honda Vs Soma Takao
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Tetsuya Endo
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Guanchulo Vs Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki

Shuten-dōji are aiming to take away all of the Golden Lovers’ championships. If everything goes his way, KUDO could find himself holding all three KO-D Championships at the same time. Now that would be a drink well earned.


BOYZ “BOYZ DOLL FESTIVAL SPECIAL ~ONNA MATSURI 3~” Results

BOYZ “BOYZ DOLL FESTIVAL SPECIAL ~ONNA MATSURI 3~”, 04/03/2014
Shinjuku FACE
531 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Soma Takao Vs Kazuki Hirata ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
2. KUDO defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a Spin Kick (7:44).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Masa Takanashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Akito when Takanashi pinned Akito with the Takatonic (12:12).
4. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title: HARASHIMA defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Somato (8:43).
*V5? for Hiroshi Fukuda due to Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules.
5. Isami Kodaka, Kota Ibushi & Tetsuya Endo defeated Makoto Oishi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Konosuke Takeshita when Kodaka submitted Oishi with the 419 (14:04).

Hiroshi Fukuda wanted to test himself against the KO-D Champion, HARASHIMA. So he dusted off the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title for this occasion and challenged HARASHIMA to take it from him. HARASHIMA accepted but before the match began Fukuda said the match would be fought under Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules. He handed Daisuke Kiso the 18 page official rule book and told him to follow every rule in it. The rules just so happened to protect the champion. For example HARASHIMA wasn’t allowed to run towards Fukuda whenever Fukuda was not standing. This prevented HARASHIMA from doing his Somato finisher. Fukuda knocked down Kiso and grabbed a tambourine to strike HARASHIMA with. But the challenger knocked him down and hit the Somato while Kiso was recovering. When Kiso got his wits back he saw HARASHIMA pinning Fukuda and counted to three. HARASHIMA wins the US Title!

Or so it seemed. At the end of the show, BOYZ principal Johnny Edojima approached HARASHIMA and told him he never gave permission for the US Title to be defended. The title change does not count and HARASHIMA had to give back the US Title (medal) to Fukuda. Due to Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules this counts as a successful defence for Fukuda. Because why not?

Amon Tsurumi has been disappointed in the performances of Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga lately so they now have to face Zeus & The Bodyguard. How that is supposed to motivate them, I don’t know.

2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal: X Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs KUDO

My favourite match in DDT returns for its annual appearance. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal combines the Royal Rumble and the Money In The Bank to create something bonkers in the usual DDT manner. Last year their was four identical prizes, all KO-D Openweight Title matches but with the extra stipulation the the contracts could change hands like championships. Prizes from previous years have included contracts for promoting shows, winning romantic dates and even temporarily morphing into other wrestlers.

DDT “UP UP DDT ~ UP UP GIRLS VS HOMOIRO CLOVER Z VOL. 1”, 19/02/2014
Shinjuku FACE
512 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KUDO defeated Akito with the Diving Double Knee Drop (5:20).
2. Kota Ibushi defeated Up Up Machine (w/ Up Up Girls & Shogun KY Mana) with the Sit Down Last Ride (7:39).
3. Makoto Oishi & Isami Kodaka defeated Danshoku Dino & Hiroshi Fukuda when Oishi pinned Fukuda after the Zan Isamu Leg from Kodaka (12:14).
Bonus Match: Up Up Machine (Sanshiro Takagi) defeated Up Up Machine (Kazuki Hirata) with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (?:??).

DDT co-promoted a show with the Up Up Girls for a show that featured wrestling and musical performances. The event focused on the feud between the Up Up Girls and Homoiro Clover Z. The idols brought in some wrestlers to fight on their behalf. They were the mysterious Up Up Machine, Isami Kodaka and in a surprising betrayal Makoto Oishi! Danshoku Dino was shocked to learn that Oishi was a spy for the Up Up Girls all along! Hiroshi Fukuda stepped up to team with Dino to wrestle Kodaka & Oishi in the main event.

Kota Ibushi had to face the Up Up Machine, the secret weapon in a Strong Machine mask who was accompanied by the Up Up Girls. All of the girls except one also wore similar Super Strong Machine masks. The one who didn’t was dressed up as Shogun KY Wakamatsu. Some of the DDT fans in the audience quickly figured out Up Up Machine was Kazuki Hirata. The girls attacked Ibushi with paper fan whenever he was outside the ring but he was able to grab one of the fans and use it on Machine. Ibushi went on to beat Machine and Dino laughed at the loser afterwards.

Another Up Up Machine appeared after the main event to confront the first Machine. He ripped off the guy’s mask to reveal it was Kazuki Hirata and then challenged him to a match. During the match the new Machine was unmasked to reveal it was Sanshiro Takagi! Takagi beat Hirata and afterwards said he is so rejuvenated from the show that just happened he now feels like he is 20 years old. He hopes DDT and Up Up Girls will joint promote a show again some time.

*Ivan Markov becomes the 1st Union MAX Champion!

Union finally has its own championship. Unfortunately for them none of their own wrestlers is the champion. Russia’s Ivan Markov defeated Shuji Ishikawa in a Hardcore Match featuring plenty of chairs to become the first Union MAX Champion. Markov rubbed salt into the wounds after the match when he said Japan must be a country full of losers because he beat Isami Kodaka back in Russia and he just beat Shuji Ishikawa in Japan. He was then joined in the ring by Hiroshi Fukuda and MEN’S Teioh. They said that the best of Russia, the best of America and the best of Japan should come together to show a small company like Union what high level wrestling is like. Thus, World MEN’s Club was born. FUMA stepped up to be Markov’s first challenger.

Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto continue their KO-D Tag Team Title reign with a victory over Texas Tornado Broncos Tokyo. Miyamoto complimented MEN’S Teioh’s strength and Kodaka called him a 47 year old superman. They hope when they are his age in around fifteen years time they will be in as good shape as he is now.

Another championship was decided in Union today. Seiya Morohashi won the Aipoke World Title, probably the only current wrestling title created and sponsored by a porn company. Seiya Morohashi found himself bare-assed mid way through the match but turned it into his advantage by slamming his rear end into Mitmoi Masayuki (also bare-assed) to win the match. He then asked Idea Pocket Diva Minori Hatsune, “How was my ass?” She said it was “Quite cute.” Thinking about his latest defeat, Masayuki said he will try to grab the heart of Hatsune and if he can’t, he’ll try to grab her chest instead.

Richard Burn demolished Daichi Kazato with a Back Turn Kick he calls the Afterburn.

After pinning the champion in a 3 Way match, Sareee challenged Cherry to a Fly To Everywhere Title match in January.
