DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN KORIYAMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASHIBADEKOYASHIKI~”, 18/07/2016
Koriyama City Southern Tohoku General Wholesale Center
213 Fans

1. Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Oishi pinned Hirata with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (9:28).
2. Yasu Urano & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase when Urano pinned Watase with the Tombstone Piledriver (14:40).
3. Soma Takao defeated MAO with the Gin And Tonic (9:23).
4. Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki when Dino pinned Iwasaki with the Danshoku Driver (11:17).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Guanchulo when Endo pinned Guanchulo with the Torture Rack Bomb (15:54).
6. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (19:19).

Tetsuya Endo’s defection to DAMNATION changed the last two matches of the card. The main event was changed from a 6-Man Tag to a regular Tag Team bout. Tetsuya Endo and Guanchulo were moved over to the semi-main event so Endo could team with his new stablemates. Daisuke Sasaki said Endo’s body and mind has fallen into DAMNATION. Meanwhile over in Happy Motels, Antonio Honda dyed his hair for the first time in 18 years.

Danshoku Dino had a request to help him prepare for his match with LiLiCo next month. He wanted Kazusada Higuchi to put on black eyeliner and black lipstick so he would look like LiLiCo. That way Dino can picture what it will be like to wrestle her. Higuchi was confused but complied with the idea. When he reappeared for the match with the makeup applied he received “LiLiCo!” chants from the crowd. After the match Dino was crying tears of joy over the experiment. He was so happy that Higuchi was willing to become LiLiCo to help him prepare for her. Higuchi wished Dino luck and pleaded with him to win the DDT Extreme Title.

Soma Takao has been relying on the Gin And Tonic finisher to win his matches. However he realises he may need a secret weapon to beat Hikaru Sato at Sumo Hall.

*V2 for Konosuke Takeshita. Tetsuya Endo cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

takeshita-beats-endo

Konosuke Takeshita is still the KO-D Openweight Champion but it came at the cost of losing his best friend and tag team partner. Tetsuya Endo was the latest Right To Challenge holder to get his title shot and threw everything out there. He hit a No Touch Tope and a Swan Dive Elbow but Takeshita yelled at him to attack more. Endo went for the Torture Rack Bomb but it was countered with a Headlock. The Sky Twister Press missed and the two were soon both on their knees trading Elbow Smashes. Endo hit a Flip Piledriver for a nearfall. He later did an Avalanche Hurricanrana but Takeshita used the momentum to roll Endo into a pin for a two count. Takeshita then countered another Hurricanra into a Power Bomb. It finally took two German Suplexes to put Endo away.

this-is-the-endo

Takeshita praised the match they just had and said he wants their generation to liven up DDT. He offered a handshake but was suddenly interrupted by DAMNATION. Unit leader Daisuke Sasaki looked at Endo and asked him if he was tired of being a second class wrestler underneath his friend? He held up a DAMNATION T-shirt and asked if Endo wants to join them. Endo shocked everyone by pushing Takeshita away and accepting the shirt! Sasaki introduced everyone to DAMNATION’s 4th member, Tetsuya Endo!

owashi-rtc-challenge

When DAMNATION left ringside Takeshita was crushed. Ever since Endo won the contract in Hakata, Takeshita wanted nothing more than to have this title match with his friend in Korakuen Hall. If that wasn’t bad enough, “Sandstorm” played over the music system and Toru Owashi came out . The holder of the last active Right To Challenge contract finally decided on the date for his KO-D Title match. Amon Tsurumi stepped in and guessed the date. 23rd July in Yokohama? No, Owashi said that was too soon. How about 13th August in Shinjuku FACE for the last show of Beer Garden week? No, instead Owashi will cash in at the beginning of Beer Garden week on 8th August! Owashi said he waited four months for his title shot because it made him strong and the timing of it means he is guaranteed to go into Sumo Hall as the champion if he wins. And in Sumo Hall he will be so strong it’s scary! Takeshita’s response was that he will beat Owashi with the German Suplex and go on to face Shuji Ishikawa.

irie-farewell

Shigehiro Irie bid farewell to DDT and Japan with his final match before his American excursion. Irie couldn’t hold back the tears as he was showered with green tape from the fans. But he still had a match with Yukio Sakaguchi, HARASHIMA and Keisuke Ishii to go through. He hit the Beast Bomber twice on Ishii to win the match for himself & Sakaguchi. Irie bowed to all four sides of the arena to a thunderous applause.

sasaki-betrays-togo

Daisuke Sasaki isn’t happy to see his mentor Dick Togo back in action. Togo won his Korakuen return match and offered to shake hands with Kazusada Higuchi afterwards. Sasaki came out and went to hug Togo but instead gave him a Low Blow. Sasaki called Togo a dickhead and said that his disciple has gotten stronger during his four year absence. Togo tackled Sasaki and punched him over and over until wrestlers and referees came out to stop him. Sasaki gave one of the referees the Michinoku Driver II before leaving the ring. Togo was furious at Sasaki’s actions.

sasadango-nwa-manager

NωA continues to struggle, this time losing to DAMNATION. However help came afterwards in the form of Super Sasadango Machine. Sasadango complimented their musical and dancing talents but noticed a big flaw in their performance. They have no strong business relationships. Their strength in pro wrestling is tied to the strength of their business relationships. Sasadango offered to be their manager and handle all of NωA’s behind the scenes business. He also promised to get them booked on the “DDT FES 2016” show in November.

owashi-rtc-defence

Toru Owashi successfully defended his Right To Challenge Contract once again, this time in a 10-Person Tag Match. Owashi unmasked Super Sasadango Machine and pinned him with La Magistral Cradle. Danshoku Dino told Owashi after the match that today was the last DDT show in Korakuen Hall before “PETER PAN 2016” so maybe he can finally cash in his title shot. Sanshiro Takagi also pushed for Owashi to do it. Or maybe he could have the contract instead. Owashi slapped Takagi and said he already decided when he will get his title match. Owashi then had to flee from ringside when he was chased by wrestlers begging for the contract.

takao-sato-ajpw

Masa Takanashi is now wrestling under his real name Masahiro Takanashi plus he got a new entrance song to boot. But his moment in the spotlight was stolen by Soma Takao when Takao pinned Kota Umeda to continue his string of victories. His victory was interrupted by the return of Hikaru Sato! The Hard Hit fighter and former DDT wrestler is now currently the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion and he was recently challenged by Takao to a title match. Sato’s appearance was to announce the date and location of the match. All Japan has allowed the match to take place at “PETER PAN 2016”!

sunflower-bomb-kenso

Amon Tsurumi’s bright idea of pairing Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO together as a team caused as much trouble as expected yet still produced results. Before their match began Takagi and KENSO argued over whose entrance song they should use. Daisuke Kiso came up with the solution to use both songs at the same time. During the match Takagi & KENSO collided with missed attacks several times. Takagi decided he had enough to he gave KENSO the Sunflower Bomb onto Mizuki Watase. KENSO stayed on top of Watase so that counted as a pin. After the match KENSO rallied the fans to convince DDT that he should be get a match at “PETER PAN 2016”. The fans booed him and Takagi refused. Tsurumi decided to give KENSO one more opportunity. He’ll fight Takagi at Kasukabe Hall on 6th August and if his performance is good enough he’ll get added to the “PETER PAN 2016” card. Tsurumi then told Takagi to please somehow become a better wrestler!

kudo-returns

KUDO gave an important update at the start of the show about his recovery process. He thanked the fans for waiting because he will return to action at “PETER PAN 2016”! He will team with Masahiro Takanashi to take on Yasu Urano & Akito. KUDO told everyone his goal is to start from zero and climb all the way back up to the KO-D Championship!

A big title match for “PETER PAN 2016” on 28th August was announced. Ken Ohka & KAI will defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto, aka Yankee Smile!

Some new DDT merch is in production. NωA is getting an EVERLAST T-shirt, Saki Akai is getting a GLAM JAM bag and Danshoku Dino is getting a new DVD currently titled “DVD To Change The Friends Of Danshoku Dino To Like Professional Wrestling”.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN MAEBASHI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TONTON~”, 10/07/2016
Maebashi Green Dome Sub Arena
226 Fans

2. Grudge Settlement! Avenge Kawaguchi In Maebashi! Maebashi Specialty Special Single Match: KENSO defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:19).

6. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (16:47).

Shigehiro Irie shook hands with Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie after their match. Sasaki even wished Irie luck on his upcoming trip to America. Irie now has only one match left in DDT before he leaves.

Keisuke Ishii is not pleased with Soma Takao challenging for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Ishii thinks nobody has a stronger desire to win that championship than himself. He refuses to acknowledge Takao’s challenge and declared he will get a title shot instead.

KENSO attacked Kazuki Hirata during his dance before Match #2. He argued with the noisy fans for cheering Hirata then put on his own pair of HIRATA GO! glasses. He danced with Hirata and then pinned him with a Brainbuster. He complained to Amon Tsurumi after the match about having to team with Sanshiro Takagi on 17th July. He found out about the match while his wife was making him tom yum soup and it ruined his dinner. Tsurumi responded by suggesting KENSO might be in love with Takagi. All he ever talks about is coming to DDT so he can fight Takagi. He asked KENSO to put his hand on his chest and tell everyone how he truly feels. KENSO thought about it, yelled “Bakayaro!” and stormed off.

July 9, 2016

endo-takeshita-confrontation

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 12”, 09/07/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
360 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari (c) with a Cobra Twist (2:40).
*D2 for Yumehito Imanari.
1. Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Gota Ihashi when MAO pinned Ihashi with the Cannonball 450° (8:49).
2. When Case Take Anywhere! Owashi Siege Encirclement! 4 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Masa Takanashi, Yasu Urano and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Owashi pinned Matsunaga with La Magistral Cradle (7:31).
3. Infomercial Match – Dramatic Exercise Series: Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai defeated Super Sasadango Machine & Mizuki Watase when Hirata pinned Machine with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:47).
4. DAMNATION’s First Trio Match Stomping!: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Guanchulo when Paulie pinned Guanchulo with the Paulie Buster (9:44).
5. Akito Comeback Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when HARASHIMA pinned Umeda with the Somato (11:01).
6. Soma Takao defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Gin And Tonic (14:43).
7. Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when Endo pinned Honda with the Sky Twister Press (13:20).

Both Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo didn’t want to stick around after the main event. Takeshita returned to the ring to give an end of show speech. He doesn’t like losing when he is supposed to be the champion but he feels prepared for Endo on 17th July.

Soma Takao is on a hot streak and has been on one since the break up of Team Drift. He now has single wins over both of his former partners Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie. Both Takao and Irie were determined to win the match, both of them yelled that they weren’t going to lose as they traded strikes. Takao now has a big goal ahead of him. He wants to win the AJPW J.r Heavyweight Title!

Akito said it felt so long since he was in the ring even though he was only gone for a month. A lot has happened from Endo becoming the No. 1 Contender to Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa losing the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He was even caught off guard by HARASHIMA and Yuko Miyamoto forming Smile Yankee.

The Infomercial Match was used to promote the Dramatic Exercise Series of workout equipment. Super Sasadango Machine produced a PowerPoint project called “Discussion of the Effectiveness of the Exercise Equipment in Combat Martial Arts”. The presentation included pictures of Mizuki Watase working out nude with the equipment. It also revealed that Kazuki Hirata had not used the power ball yet even though it is his own official product. Sasadango’s battle plan was for Watase to grab Saki Akai’s stretch pole and bash it over Hirata’s head. Then when they win they can become the new faces of the brand. The plan didn’t work.

Toru Owashi thought he found himself a new ally in his quest to cash in his Right To Challenge contract. Masa Takanashi said he was going to protect Owashi in the 4 Way Match because they have been good friends for over 15 years and he wants to see Owashi relive his dominant days from the past. But it was all a ruse! Takanashi betrayed Owashi late in the match and joined a 3-on-1 attack. He and Tomomitsu Matsunaga began arguing and that allowed Owashi to retaliate and pin Matsunaga with La Magistral Cradle. After the match Owashi told the fans he will continue to defend the contract until Sumo Hall.

Before the opening match took place Danshoku Dino approached Keisuke Ishii in the locker room to talk about the upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title tournament. Dino wants to enter the tournament but his friends are already in other teams. Dino and Ishii were both members of Belt Hunter X Hunter in 2010 so maybe they could form their own group. Ishii likes the idea and so does Gota Ihashi, who wasn’t part of the conversation until then. However during their match with NωA, Dino and Ishii argued over who should be the leader. The distraction caused them to lose the match when Ihashi was pinned. Dino and Ishii still want the group to go ahead and enter the tournament but without Ihashi. Dino apologised to him.

Yumehito Imanari interrupted the opening announcements demanding a King Of Dark Title match. He said he’s been losing sleep ever since he won the title because he never knows when his next match will happen. All members of DAMNATION came out and approached Imanari. Daisuke Sasaki flipped a coin to decided who from the group will be in the match. Shuji Ishikawa won the toss and easily won the match.

After intermission Amon Tsurumi introduced everyone to three members of Macho29, a group of male bodybuilder idols who are abstinent, don’t smoke, avoid violence and only drink protein. The three members are Koala Koarashi, Saiyaman Great and Ueda Chisei. They announced they will perform at “DDT FES 2016” in November. Makoto Oishi confronted the three and complained to Tsurumi about NωA possibly being left off the show. He backed off when he found out Macho29 has over 50,000 followers on Twitter. NωA only has around 1,000.

The vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship will crown new champions later this month. Smile Squash, Shuten-dōji, Happy Motels, T2Hide, DAMNTION, NωA and two more teams will compete in a tournament beginning on 23rd July with the final on 6th August.

Masa Takanashi is turning over a new leaf and will soon wrestle under his real name Masahiro Takanashi. The name change will take effect on 17th July and he will use a new theme song aswell. He says nothing new will happen to him if he does not change.

DDT will hold their annual street wrestling match at the HandMade In Japan Festival on 24th July. It will be a 3 Way Tag Falls Count Anywhere Match between Sanshiro Takagi & MAO Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Soma Takao & Kota Umeda.

Canadian wrestler “Speedball” Mike Bailey will tour DDT in August. His first match takes place at the 1st August Tavern Wrestling show. He will also be at “PETER PAN 2016”.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2016” Results

May 15, 2016

kenso-ultramantakagi

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2016”, 15/05/2016
Nagoya International Conference Hall
574 Fans

1. Nagoya Specialty! Miso Stew Special Tag Match: Super Sasadango Machine & Saki Akai defeated Ultraman Robin III & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Machine pinned Shimatani with the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock (7:33).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Masa Takanashi & Guanchulo defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata and Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda when Guanchulo pinned Hirata with a School Boy (8:15).
*Guanchulo wins Kazuki Hirata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
3. KENSO KING OF DDT 2016 Assessment Match: Cherry defeated KENSO with the Spring Night Love (7:48).
4. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when Takeshita pinned Umeda with the German Suplex (12:21).
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi defeated HARASHIMA & Mizuki Watase when Oishi pinned Watase with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (10:16).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Shunma Katsumata & Kouki Iwasaki (c) when Takao pinned Iwasaki with the Gin And Tonic (15:09).
*Team DNA fails in V3. Team Drift become the 25th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa (c) defeated Akito & Yasu Urano when Sasaki pinned Urano with the Vietnam Driver II (26:34).
*V3 for Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa.

Nagoya is Akito’s home but his attempt to win gold in front of his neighbours ended in failure. He & Yasu Urano pulled out that they could do against Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa. They gave Ishikawa a Double Superplex. Urano did a Slingshot Senton out of the ring onto Ishikawa. Urano even attempted a Moonsault but Sasaki rolled out of the way. Akito lifted Sasaki up for the Kinniku Big Move but Ishikawa stopped him with a Running Knee Lift. Ishikawa threw Akito out of ring while Sasaki gave Urano the Vietnam Driver II for a successful KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Sasaki bragged that he has now defeated all members of Smile Squash.

Team Drift have won the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles for the sixth and possibly final time as a unit. Things weren’t looking good for the challengers when Kazusada Higuchi held onto Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie outside the ring. Shunma Katsumata dove out onto all three of them. Kouki Iwasaki tried to give Soma Takao the Leg Capture Suplex but Takao escaped. He then rolled Iwasaki into the Gin And Tonic to cause the title change. Takao said the DNA team were strong but it was Drift’s superior teamwork that was the difference maker. Irie was happy to win a championship in the city where he had his debut match. Ishii said he has a deep fondness for this championship and their sixth reign was a long time coming. He’s considering whether or not they will defend the title before they disband. Drift will split up on 29th May so time is running short to make the decision.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi are back to winning ways. Even though Oishi pinned the rookie Mizuki Watase, he and Dino instead see it as a victory over HARASHIMA. They think that is enough to earn them a KO-D Tag Team Title shot. They realise Sasaki will be busy defending the KO-D Openweight Title soon so they asked Amon Tsurumi if they could challenge for the All Asia Tag Team Titles instead! All they have to do is contact the PWF Chairman, Dory Funk Jr. Tsurumi said that would be impossible but then figured Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto might accept the challenge so they can have an easy title defence. Tsurumi told them he would look into it and to come back to him in a month’s time.

Match #3 was held to determined if KENSO would be allowed into this year’s King Of DDT tournament. He took on Cherry in a match that on paper would favour him heavily. However Cherry fought her hardest and even hit a Top Rope DDT to KENSO. A ref bump led to Ultraman Robin III running down to the ring and unmasking. It was Sanshiro Takagi! He gave KENSO a Stunner and Cherry locked in the Spring Night Love to pin KENSO for the three count. A sad KENSO accepted his failure but Cherry suddenly stood up for him. She criticised Takagi for interfering in the match and for wearing a ridiculous costume. She thinks KENSO deserves one more chance and this time it should be against Takagi himself. Takagi played dumb and said he was Ultraman Robin. Tsurumi said then Robin will be KENSO’s opponent. Takagi immediately took that back and accepted the match for 29th May. Meanwhile KENSO took a liking to Cherry and asked her to be in his corner for the match. He told her has a beautiful American made kimono for her to wear.

Guanchulo now has a Right To Challenge Contract. He, Danshoku Dino and Toru Owashi all have the remaining contracts.

The opening match had to be changed when Mammoth Handa was injured in an accident during his warm up exercises. Sanshiro Takagi was also unexpectedly announced as being absent due to a sudden private matter. Their replacements were Nobuhiro Shimatani and the debuting Ultraman Robin III. Robin’s mask slipped off during the match revealing it to be Takagi as part of his KENSO scheme later on in the show. Shimatani took the mask and decided to wear it. Saki Akai unmasked him and also decided to put it on herself.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~TEAM DRIFT DAY~” Results

August 3, 2015

chelsea-mvp

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~TEAM DRIFT DAY~”, 03/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Soma Takao defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Gin And Tonic (12:07).
2. Annual Beer Garden Oretachi Chopper Wrestling: Keisuke Ishii, Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Danshoku Dino, Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi when Honda pinned Dino after a Double Jumping Knee Strike (15:38).
3. Shigehiro Irie Produce ~ YaroZ Boxing Glove Match: Kengo Mashimo defeated Gota Ihashi by KO with a Straight Right (4R 3:44).
4. Hardcore 4 Way Match: Shigehiro Irie defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Yuko Miyamoto and Gran Pasho Mask #4 when Irie pinned Pasho Mask with the Final Impact onto a pile of chairs (25:27).

Today was Team Drift’s turn to present a Beer Garden show. The main event was a chaotic hardcore match between Shigehiro Irie, Daisuke Sasaki, Yuko Miyamoto and Irie’s guest from Dera Pro Wrestling, Gran Pasho Mask #4. Chairs, garbage cans, bamboo swords and a barbed wire baseball bat were all used in the match. A wire mesh security barrier was laid over two chairs and Irie was thrown off the top rope through the barrier. Sasaki used the barbed wire bat to assist his Crippler Crossface on Irie. He later dove out of the ring onto all three of his opponents. It all ended badly for Sasaki when he and Miyamoto fought each other on top of some scaffolding. Miyamoto gave Sasaki the Fire Thunder from the scaffolding into a draped landing pad below. Back in the ring Irie destroyed Pasho Mask by Splashing him through a table, Superplexing him onto chairs and giving him the Final Impact (Double Tucked Arm Piledriver) onto the chairs.

YaroZ were represented with a special Boxing Glove match. YaroZ MCs Brother Mon & Brother Tommy were there to host the match and they brought along Stardom wrestler Chelsea as the special guest round girl. Everyone was disappointed when she appeared wearing a shirt and jeans. However she began to take off a piece of clothing after every round. Everyone got excited but Gota Ihashi was getting his ass kicked by Kengo Mashimo. Ihashi was encouraged by everyone to keep fighting but he narrowly avoided being counted out at the end of Round 2. Ihashi tried to flee but all the wrestlers dragged him back to the ring. In Round 3 Mashimo knocked him out but Yukinori Matsui decided to check his own shoelaces instead of counting to ten. Chelsea was down to her bikini top and hot pants after Round 3 but Ihashi had to be propped up onto the top turnbuckle to continue the match. He had his shorts pulled down and Mashimo threw all of the interfering wrestlers into his backside. He also knocked out Matsui. Daisuke Kiso ran down and counted out Ihashi, awarding the match to Mashimo by knockout. Everyone booed the decision and Matsui attacked Kiso for ruining the plan. But Chelsea cheered everyone up by taking off her hot pants to reveal the rest of her bikini. Everyone happily left the ring except for Ihashi who was still unconcious. All three Drift members later declared Chelsea the MVP of the show.

The annual Lariat Pro Wrestling match has been replaced with a match dedicated to Chops. Everyone in the match formed a circle and took turns chopping each other. Konosuke Takeshita unintentionally threw a Lariat and all of a sudden “Sunrise” played over the speakers. Everyone decided to do Lariats and pose like Stan Hansen. Kazusada Higuchi then hit a Jumping Knee Strike and everyone decided to imitate Jumbo Tsuruta while his “J” theme song played. Antonio Honda pinned Danshoku Dino after he and Takeshita hit a Double Jumping Knee Strike. They and Keisuke Ishii all pushed up their fists and yelled “Ooh!” over and over.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Masa Takanashi Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga

6. Road To KO-D OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP – Part 2: HARASHIMA & KUDO Vs Yasu Urano & FUMA
7. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Kenny Omega Vs Antonio Honda

A 3 way grudge has built up between Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega and Antonio Honda over the DDT Extreme Title. After Dino won the belt from Omega, he had his first defence against Honda. Omega demanded to be added to the match and when he was denied, he interfered in the match attacking both men and ultimately stopped Honda from becoming champion. A Triple Threat match is the solution. Hopefully we get a match stipulation that determines once and for all who should be the champion.

The HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano build up continues with UraShimaKudo splitting into two teams for a match.

Drift Appears In All Japan, All Asia Title Challenge!

September 11, 2013

drift-ajpw

Team Dream Futures appeared in Korakuen Hall for today’s All Japan show and they came for a reason. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie and Soma Takao arrived wearing suits and had prepared a written statement. However, Ishii couldn’t hold his tongue for long and gave up trying to be polite. He instead said what he wanted to say all along. Ishii grew up loving All Japan and was even a trainee in their dojo. But he dropped out and ran away. His wrestling career took a different road in DDT where he became friends with Irie and Soma. Together they grew up and Ishii shared with them his dream of winning an All Japan championship. Now they want that dream to come true. Ishii announced he wants to challenge Kotaro Suzuki & Atsushi Aoki for the All Asia Tag Team Titles. Aoki came out and welcomed the challenge but it has not been officially accepted yet. It looks like Ishii and Irie will be the team representing Drift in the potential title match.
