DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SPRING~”, 29/04/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
400 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. King Of Dark Title: Rekka defeated Gota Ihashi (c) with a Jumping Cross Armbreaker (5:08).
*D1 for Gota Ihashi.
1. KENSO, Hiroshi Fukuda & Eddie French defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Guanchulo when Fukuda submitted Hirata with a Crab Hold (12:04).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Makoto Oishi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Owashi pinned both Oishi and Matsunaga with a Double School Boy (5:01).
3. Team Drift Goodbye Series: Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Ohka pinned Ishii with the Spear Of Flame (12:40).
4. Shunma Katsumata & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Mao Inoue when Iwasaki pinned Inoue with the Leg Capture Suplex (14:32).
5. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Urano pinned Honda with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:58).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Polly defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Polly pinned Takanashi with the Reverse Splash (11:48).

Daisuke Sasaki introduced everyone to his brand new pet and it is big and mean. His name is Mad Polly, he is 180cm tall and weighs 140kg. With Demolition style facepaint and a costume that reminds me of Bam Bam Bigelow, Polly was ordered to go after Yukio Sakaguchi. Polly withstood Sakaguchi’s kicks and threw him over with a German Suplex. Masa Takanashi tried to help Sakaguchi in taking down the newcomer but they were both taken down with a Lariat. Polly Choke Slammed Takanashi and then pinned him with a Vader style Reverse Splash. Sasaki added insult to injury by giving Sakaguchi the Vietnam Driver II. Sasaki then introduced his “cute” new pet to the crowd and called himself the charismatic double champion.

The semi-main event was vital for both teams to win. Both Smile Squash and Happy Motels were involved in bid defeats to Daisuke Sasaki at “MAX BUMP 2016”. HARASHIMA lost his KO-D Openweight Title to Sasaki and the New Gen Combo failed to regain the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa. Also Akito & Yasu Urano came out of the show as the next challengers for the tag titles. Antonio Honda gave a long speech to his teammates about training their soul, using dumbbells and producing tremendous nose hair in the process. The motivating talk didn’t work and Smile Squash came out of the match as the winners. Honda took the blame for the loss.

Ken Ohka eagerly wished Team Drift the best of luck in their futures. Each of the Drift wrestlers were a little put off by Ohka excitedly shaking their hands after the match. But it also gave them enough encouragement to challenge Team DNA to a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match on the 15th May Nagoya show. They want to win the titles and disband as champions. Kouki Iwasaki accepted the challenge because he wants DNA to beat the best teams in DDT even if they are about to split up.

Both Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Makoto Oishi are on the hunt for a Right To Challenge Contract. They both had an opportunity to win one from Toru Owashi. Owashi’s contract arm band was ripped off and thrown over to Amon Tsurumi. Both Matsunaga and Oishi chased after Tsurumi but got a Double Lariat for their troubles. Later in the match Owashi capitalised on his opponents’ infighting by pinning both of them at the same time.

Hiroshi Fukuda tricked Kazuki Hirata into dancing when he sang “You Are More Beautiful Than Roses” into the microphone. He then rolled over Hirata into a Crab Hold during the dance. After that match KENSO confronted Sanshiro Takagi again about joining DDT full time. He said would have attended “MAX BUMP 2016” last week but his wife Hiroko Suzuki had a Funabashi City Council meeting that day. KENSO then brought up the King Of DDT tournament and requested entry into the tournament. Takagi refused but Amon Tsurumi offered KENSO an opportunity. KENSO will have a match in Nagoya on 15th May to determine if he deserves to enter King Of DDT.

DDT will be heading to Nagano in June and the management think it could be the start of something good. They decided to set up a sales manager position for the Nagano region. Toru Owashi volunteered to take the position. He was given 30,000 yen for operating expenses and is tasked in making the first Nagano show a success.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~SMILE SQUASH DAY~”, 05/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. Danshoku Dino (Kazusada Higuchi) (w/ Makoto Oishi) defeated Kota Umeda (w/ Kazusada Higuchi (Danshoku Dino)) with the Danshoku Driver (10:01).
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Isami Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa & Yusuke Kubo when HARASHIMA pinned Kubo with the Somato (21:16).

Smile Squash challenged Union to a 6-Man Tag match. HARASHIMA was able to make up for his poor sumo performance earlier in the day by scoring the winning pinfall on Yusuke Kubo while Yasu Urano & Akito dove out of the ring onto Isami Kodaka & Shuji Ishikawa.

During the opening ceremony HARASHIMA invited Danshoku Dino and Kota Umeda to shake hands for their upcoming match. Both Dino and Umeda clumsily messed up the handshake and bowed in apology, banging their heads together by accident. They started fighting and Kazusada Higuchi stepped in the break it up. Dino and Higuchi then accidentaly clashed heads. This somehow caused Dino and Higuchi to swap bodies so when the match happened, Dino wrestled the match in Higuchi’s body while Higuchi stood at Umeda’s corner in Dino’s body. After the match Dino in Higuchi’s body tried to have his way with Umeda but he was stopped by Higuchi in Dino’s body, Makoto Oishi and Ryota Nakatsu. All four banged their heads together and Dino ended up in Nakatsu’s body while Oishi was in Higuchi’s body. Everyone was left confused over who was who.

Shuji Ishikawa won the annual sumo wrestling tournament, beating last year’s winner Tomomitsu Matsunaga in the first round, Daisuke Sasaki in the semi final and Keisuke Ishii in the final. Ishikawa said it is his responsibility to fight Genichiro Tenryu at Sumo Hall later this month and it would have been shameful if he did not win this tournament.

Akito’s match for the show was fought under the old Hard Hit rules where you could win by pinfall, submission or scoring 5 total points from knockdowns and rope breaks.

Before the show began Hiroshi Fukuda was called to the ring by Yasu Urano to have a few sumo matches to warm up for the tournament. Fukuda’s opponent was a member of DDT’s video team named Ryohei Fukuda (probably unrelated). Ryohei wore Fukuda’s debut wrestling gear for the bout. The song “Marvin Gaye” played while Hiroshi beat his opponent three times in a row. Ryohei stripped down to his underwear for losing the match.

5. Yasu Urano defeated Kendo Kashin with a Cradle (8:41).
6. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Togi Makabe when HARASHIMA pinned Takagi with the Somato (17:08).

Smile Squash held their self-produced event in Korakuen Hall which featured guests and a sumo wrestling tournament. In the main event the Smile duo of HARASHIMA and Akito faced Sanshiro Takagi and New Japan brawler Togi Makabe. There was respect shown by HARASHIMA and Makabe towards each other which was expected since they are old friends. Takagi provided his brand of lucha libre while Akito had his grappling game on show. HARASHIMA countered Takagi’s Sit Down Himawari Bomb into a Reverse Frankensteiner and then the Somato to end the match.

The show also featured Kendo Kashin’s first match in six months when he faced Smile Squash’s third member Yasu Urano. Kashin’s entrance music began with “Smile For Me” by Naoko Kawai then cut into “Sky Walk”. He also had temporary tattoos of Yuji Nagata’s face sliced in two and flipped over placed on his stomach. Kashin fought dirty, he bit Urano’s finger in order to escape from a Camel Clutch. He then criticised Urano’s for wearing a bandana while wrestling. Kashin would accidentally knock out Yukinori Matsui with a missed Neckbreaker Drop. Urano and Kashin brawled outside and Kashin attacked Shun Miyatake (Trainee) before leaving ringside. He then returned with Togi Makabe’s chain wrapped around his hand! Makabe came out and Lariated Kashin to get his chain back. Back in the ring Kashin tried to finish off Urano with a Cross Armbreaker from the top rope but Urano countered it into a cradle and got the pin. After the match Kashin gave Urano a singlet with “Higashioku Gakuen” written on the backside of it. He made Urano wear it and they celebrated in the ring together.

Shuji Ishikawa won the Sumo tournament by beating Gota Ihashi, Daisuke Sekimoto and Konosuke Takeshita in his playoff bouts. The previous tournament winner Tomomitsu Matsunaga was defeated in the first round by Takeshita. When asked if he will become the Yokozuna (the sumo class, not the WWF wrestler) of Union, he said he would like to face Akebono in a sumo bout sometime.

The Texas Tiger Cub Rope Death Match had Masa Takanashi pin a tied up Antonio Honda. There was also a stuffed tiger cub toy attached to the tiger rope. Apparantly it’s as lethal as a cowbell.

Shiori Asahi is pretty embarrassed that his surprise reveal as Makoto Oishi’s mystery partner keeps getting spoiled.

November 11, 2014

ibushi-shoot-boxing

Kota Ibushi will compete in a shoot boxing exhibition match on 30th November. The event is QueSeraJapon Presents SHOOT BOXING S-cup in Sumo Hall. The plan came together when DDT president Sanshiro Takagi and Shoot Boxing Association chairman Takeshi Caeser met during a magazine interview. Caeser asked Takagi if there were any pro wrestlers who would be a good fit for shoot boxing. Takagi immediately thought of Ibushi due to his karate background. Ibushi thinks it is a fun idea. He gets to introduce shoot boxing to pro wrestling fans and pro wrestling to shoot boxing fans. His opponent is to be determined but Takeshi did consider trying to bring in Kazushi Sakuraba. The event takes place the same day DDT is in Korakuen Hall but Ibushi said he will be on both shows.

ddtelection-2014

The results of this year’s DDT Dramatic General Election was announced to a full Shinjuku FACE crowd of 520 fans. Samurai! TV cameras followed the briefcase as it made its journey towards Shinjuku. Smile Squash won the Unit Election, narrowly beating Shuten-dōji by 9 votes. Team Drift weren’t that far behind either. Nira Federation, the one man unit led by DJ Nira somehow got more votes than Nira did in the singles portion of the election.

Kota Ibushi wins the DDT Election for the second time and he is now guaranteed a KO-D Title shot at Saitama Super Arena next year. Ibushi felt happy that the fans are not sick of seeing him because of his dual contract with DDT and New Japan. When asked what he will do with the cash prize, Ibushi simply said “Yamanote Line Wrestling”. He wants to travel through an entire loop of the Yamanote Line and wrestle somebody at every stop. Sanshiro Takagi said afterwards he’ll talk to Japan Railway about it.

Isami Kodaka finished in 2nd place, losing out to Ibushi by just 4 votes! It was the closest result ever for the contest and a much needed one since most of them have been won by landslides. Despite that, Kodaka still gets a KO-D Title shot later this month and some cash as a reward. HARASHIMA finished 3rd and said he’s looking forward to the Kodaka match. Kodaka said the same but promises he will crush HARASHIMA.

Yukio Sakaguchi now wants to finish his career wrestling for DDT so he will now be affiliated with the company.

3. Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Urano pinned Hirata with a School Boy (13:49).
4. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Yasu Urano and Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Somato (15:25).

All members of Smile Squash faced each other in the main event of their Beer Garden show. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano and Akito kept on switching their alliances with each other as the match went on. Akito got rid of Urano with the Kinniku Buster but HARASHIMA then gave Akito the Reverse Frankensteiner followed by the Somato to win the match. HARASHIMA told both his friends after the match that he had a lot of fun and there was a good atmosphere inside Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

A sumo wrestling tournament was the other highlight of the show. Tomomitsu Matsunaga won the 8-Man tournament to be crowned the DDT Sumo King. Konosuke Takeshita made it to the final and said it was good preparation for Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Akito and Danshoku Dino bumped heads and switched bodies during the show introductions. When it was time for Dino’s match with Shunma Katsumata, Akito came out wearing Dino’s clothes and wrestled the match as Dino. Later in the show Dino wrestled as Akito in the semi-main event. They eventually bumped heads again and everything went back to normal. Akito was left wondering why the Hell was he wearing Dino’s tights?

The semi-main event tag match turned into a massive dance party.

Some fun and games took place before the show. Konosuke Takeshita and timekeeper Mic Inoue faced each other in a race to complete a series of challenges. They had to do 30 squats, use their mouth to search for candy inside a bowl of flour, sell 5 drinks to the audience and finally eat an ice lolly. Takeshita took the lead by finishing the squats first but Inoue caught up and took the lead when he found the candy before Takeshita could. Inoue was able to sell 5 drinks but Takeshita caught up and was able to eat his ice lolly faster than Inoue to win.

Hiroshi Fukuda challenged an employee of the TEC video team to a Singing Showdown. They sang “We Will Rock You” by Queen and “Your Song” by Elton John. A winner could not be determined.

Finally, Shun Miyatake (Trainee) and Daisuke Kiso had a bra modelling contest that neither of them won. Amon Tsurumi was hosting the contest and at some point was stripped of his shirt, revealing he was wearing a bra too. Tsurumi received the most fan applause and therefore won the contest.

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 3” Results

May 17, 2014

smile-squash

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 3”, 17/05/2014
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Wall Of Takeshita (6:26).
2. Antonio Honda defeated Guanchulo with a Cradle (10:21).
3. King Of DDT Qualifying Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Tiger Driver (14:30).
4. Infomercial Match – Oscar Promotion Saki Akai Latest DVD “Beautiful Day”: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Saki Akai defeated Makoto Oishi, Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Akai pinned Nakazawa with a School Boy (12:13).
5. Kesiuke Ishii, Soma Takao, MIKAMI & Kazuki Hirata defeated Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Takao pinned Ihashi with a Diving Foot Stomp (10:44).
6. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Aja Kong ended in a No Contest (6:07).
7. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Akito submitted Takanashi with the Triangle Scorpion (14:39).

Akito’s first match teaming with HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano was a big success with a victory over Shuten-dōji. The new unit name for the trio is Smile Squash. After the match HARASHIMA told KUDO he will absolutely win the KO-D Openweight Title from him on 25th May. Urano and Akito then challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to an All Asia Tag Team Titles match. Amon Tsurumi stepped in and said he will negotiate with All Japan to make the match but warned he would not get an immediate answer. Ishii accepted the challenge and said the title match will happen.

Before the Love Triangle 3 Way match began, Danshoku Dino was seen leaving Aja Kong’s locker room, possibly attacking and eliminating her from the match. Shigehiro Irie was distraught when he found out but whatever Dino did to Kong did not work because she made it to the ring eventually. Dino demanded Irie to choose between him or Kong. Irie then elbowed him in the face. The match fell apart when Dino’s Lip Lock took out not one but two referees. Kazuki Hirata made his Magnum TOKYO entrance and took up the role of replacement referee. He was then knocked out by a Double Lip Lock from both Dino and Kong. The match was called off and Irie was left alone in the ring. He began to weep as he realised he he might have lost something important.

The Golden Rendezvous is no more. Gota Ihashi took the pinfall loss in the 8-Man Tag match and Kenny Omega blamed him afterwards. Ihashi was on the top turnbuckle ready to do a high risk move when his own partner Daisuke Sasaki shook the top rope, causing Ihashi to lose balance and fall to the mat. Omega told the both of them “You are all bad!” Kota Ibushi agreed. Ihashi quit the stable and immediately decided to team with Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Nakazawa asked Ihashi what he wants to do and Ihashi said he wants to stand out. They then sang “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen. After that they challenged Ibushi, Omega & Sasaki (who are now called the Golden Storm Riders) to a 6-Man Tag match on 29th May.

The Infomercial Match was all about promoting Saki Akai’s gravure DVD “Beautiful Day” which comes out on 30th May. Images from the DVD was shown on the big screen as the match went on. However Michael Nakazawa was jealous of Saki and her DVD so he made his own amateur gravure DVD two days ago. Whenever he took control of the match clips of his movie appeared on the screen instead of Akai.

DDT announced a new Theme Music Project. They are working with Sizuk Entertainment to produce new entrance songs for the roster. Konosuke Takeshita is the first person to get a new song and it debuted on today’s show.

Ibushi and Omega will not be at the next Saitama show on 8th June because they will be wrestling in New Japan. DDT are considering bringing in special guests to make up for their absence.

On yesterday’s All Japan show, Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie successfully defended their All Asia Tag Team Titles against Kento Miyahara & Kotaro Suzuki. On today’s All Japan show Masao Inoue pinned Jun Akiyama during a Battle Royal to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Akiyama pinned Inoue after the match to win it back. Looks like he wants to be the champion after all. DDT has invited whoever the champion will be to defend the belt in Shinjuku on 29th June.
