1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Keisuke Okuda with a Sleeper Hold inside the Cool Bath (3:51).
Over the last week Shinya Aoki and Keisuke Okuda have been arguing with each other over Twitter and agreed to have a Falls Count Anywhere Match at an outdoor sauna in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. That area was chosen because Aoki was already planning to go there and Sanshiro Takagi liked the idea of a Sauna Pro Wrestling match. However one of the terms was to not advertise a date or time for the match to take place because the attention it would cause would only get in the way of the fight. On 23rd January, Okuda grabbed Daisuke Kiso and the DDT video crew then went to the Corona Winter Sauna to have the match with Aoki.
Okuda entered the sauna area and called for Aoki to come out and face him. Aoki popped his head out of his tent and told Okuda to wait a moment so he could put his gear on. When Aoki stepped out ready to fight, Okuda attacked him with a bucket and the match began.
Okuda applied a Choke to Aoki and dragged him out to the street where they traded Middle Kicks. Okuda knocked Aoki down near and fence and stepped on his face against it. Aoki got out and put Okuda in a Sleeper Hold until Okuda grabbed the fence. That counted as a rope break and Aoki had to let go.
Aoki dragged Okuda back into the sauna area where he held him underneath a cold shower. Aoki then pulled Okuda over to the cool bath where the water was 5 degrees cold. Aoki stepped in because he could handle it but Okuda fought to avoid it. Aoki threw Okuda into the cold water and tried to pin him but only got a two count. Aoki then applied a Sleeper Hold in the water and Okuda had to tap out. The cold eventually got to Aoki and he quickly went back into his sauna tent to relax after his victory.

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Yuki Iino and MAO & Mizuki Watase when pinned Watase with a Diving Body Press from the Ladder onto the Dream Go Wreckage (27:55).
For DDT’s return to the Handmade In Japan Fes in 2019, Sanshiro Takagi prepared something new and special for the occasion. He constructed the Dream Go, a giant figure made out of plastic cases to be used as a secret weapon at February’s Sumo Hall show. However it is only 80% complete and Takagi wanted to use today’s match at the festival to search for the remaining parts he needs. Unfortunately the Dream Go collapsed and broke apart into pieces when the crew tried to lift it off the stage.
When the match began, MAO & Mizuki Watase attacked Iino with a skateboard and mostly target his ass. Watase also encouraged some kids in the crowd to step forth and chop Iino in the ass. The match moved into the market where the wrestlers bumped into Makoto Oishi and Misaki Ohata. The couple were there as customers but Oishi joined in the fun of attacking wrestlers with skateboard while Ohata watched with a confused look on her face. The wrestlers then trapped each other in a line of Headscissors that Iino flipped over into a massive Crab Hold. Takagi escaped and purchased some items from the market stalls. MAO got angry when he found out Takagi was passing the bill on to DDT instead of paying for them with his own money. The wrestlers then went beer tasting. Takagi bought a bottle so he could hit MAO with it. Watase ended up getting drunk enough to yell at everyone for attention. That stopped when Iino tackled him from behind. MAO found a large sphere to do a Moonsault off of. Everyone went down except for Takagi who went missing.
Takagi was found back at the stage repairing the Dream Go. He placed Watase on a table below then with Iino threw the Dream Go at Watase! Watase rolled out of the way and the Dream Go hit the table and broke into pieces again. Iino Speared MAO and Kota Umeda into the remains. Watase was thrown onto the table again and had the cases placed on top of him. Kazusada Higuchi climbed the ladder and hit a Diving Body Press on Watase, crushing him through the table and beneath the Dream Go! Higuchi pinned Watase to win the match for himself and Umeda.
After the match Higuchi found out that the Handmade In Japan Fes is held twice a year with the second one taking place in the summer. He asked the event organiser if DDT can come back for it. The organiser said he will consider it.
Naomi Yoshimura suffered a cervical sprain from today’s match when he took a Pedigree from Daisuke Sasaki and spiked his head into the canvas. He was allowed to go home from the hospital but decided to stay because he still feels numbness in his neck. There is no date yet for his return to the ring and his match against Sasaki on 3rd January has been cancelled.

DDT “MITSUI CHOJI CO., LTD. PRESENTS CHIBA CITY MONORAIL WRESTLING”, 12/01/2019
Chiba Monorail Station
1. Falls Count Anywhere Throws Prohibited Battle Royal: Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Hiroshi Yamato Vs Shinya Aoki Vs X
Back in April 2017 DDT held a Battle Royal inside of a moving train circling around Nakano. Next month they will be trying the experiment again this time on a Chiba City Monorail. The plan is for two wrestlers to begin the match inside the monorail at 7 pm. A new wrestler enters the match at every stop on the journey. The monorail cars are attached below the track and can be held quite a distance above ground so all moves that involve throws, slams and downward shocks are prohibited for the safety of absolutely everything. DDT accepts that most of the match will have to consist of strikes, grapples and submission moves because of this. The seating capacity of the monorail is 24 people so only 24 tickets will be put on sale.
Hiroshi Yamato is one of the guest wrestlers taking part in the match. He promotes and wrestles regularly around Chiba ever since going freelance last April. Earlier this year he heard the monorail company was looking for an event so he came up with this idea and wanted DDT to get involved because of the success of their train match. Sanshiro Takagi is excited by the opportunity. He convinced Shinya Aoki to enter the match because the restricted rules will favour his fighting style.

1. Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Azusa Takigawa when Yamashita pinned Sakazaki with a Backward Kick (8:27).
2. DDT Ramen-bu Vs ALL OUT!: Akito, Kazusada Higuchi & Mizuki Watase defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino when Akito pinned Katsumata with the Kinniku Buster (13:29).
DDT brought along two Mat Pro Wrestling matches to this year’s Tokyo Ramen Show. Unlike the usual Street Wrestling matches, today’s bouts kept themselves within their boundaries next to the stage. After all, today’s priority was promoting the DDT’s ramen restaurants, not to cause chaos for the rest of the festival. Konosuke Takeshita said that a person who eats nothing but ramen everyday is not suitable to be in a super body unit like ALL OUT. They were here today to get rid of ramen and replace it with pasta. Akito disagreed and teamed with Kazusada Higuchi & Mizuki Watase to defend ramen’s honour. After Akito pinned Shunma Katsumata with the Kinniku Buster, Takeshita couldn’t understand how his team could lose to a bunch of ramen eaters. Akito told him his team lost simply because they don’t eat ramen everyday! Ramen is power food with high calories and high protein! ALL OUT must eat more ramen if they want to power up!

Shinjuku Araki Ward Park Special Stage
??? Fans
1. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Akito, Yumehito Imanari and Yuto Shimohigashi when Takagi pinned Imanari with a Diving Body Press onto a Table (38:30).
The DDT family is all over the place today with matches and shows being held in Tokyo, Osaka and Shiga. One of the matches in Araki, Shinjuku was a Rojo Wrestling event with Sanshiro Takagi, Akito and Yumehito Imanari taking part in a 4 Way Match. The fourth participant is Yuto Shimohigashi, the owner of the “LIEN” bar located in the neighborhood and a recent newcomer to pro wrestling. There was one more special guest involved. Former DNA wrestler Suguru Miyatake worked as the referee for the match.
The match began on a blue mat but everyone quickly moved over to the lower east part of the street when Takagi spotted Banri Kaieda from the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan hanging around. Akito held the other wrestlers and invited Kaieda to chop them, which he did.
Everyone moved into an alley where Akito and Takagi put Shimohigashi and Imanari in Scorpion Deathlocks next to the vending machines. They saw that the LIEN bar was nearby and started singing karaoke outside it.
Akito then decided he wanted to go bowling. He grabbed a bowling ball and rolled it into the other three on the ground.
Akito continued his rampage by crashing a bike into Takagi.
When everyone fought their way back to Araki Park, they came across kickboxer Tyson Maeguchi. He was encouraged to kick the wrestlers in front of him. Takagi and Akito fought back. Takagi gave Maeguchi a Body Slam and Akito Suplexed him.
Imanari brought a chair into the match but Akito took it off him and hit Shimohigashi over the head with it. He then gave Shimohigashi the Hanamasa onto the chair but Takagi broke the pin.
Takagi brought a ladder out and placed Imanari on a table. Takagi jumped off the ladder and put Imanari through the table with a Diving Body Press for the three count.
Takagi thanked everyone for their involvement in today’s match given how sudden it was to set up. The local organisers told Takagi they would like to do this again next year.
DDT X NEW NEMURO “MOST NORTHERN POINT OF HOKKAIDO STREET WRESTLING!”, 06/10/2018
Hokkaido Nosappu Aurora Tower Parking Lot
1 Fan
1. DDT X New Nemuro Five Matches Against All Opposition: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Atsushi Osuna, Marcia (w/ Nena-sama), Yujiru Nagata, Colonel Samba and Underwear Takagi (18:40).
1a. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Atsushi Osuna with a Push Down.
1b. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Marcia (w/ Nena-sama) with the Stunner.
1c. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yujiru Nagata when Nagata stopped moving.
1d. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Colonel Samba when the match was abandoned.
1e. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Underwear Takagi with the Stunner.
DDT was challenged by New Nemuro Pro Wrestling on very short notice. Sanshiro Takagi travelled all the way up to the most northern point of Hokkaido. There at the Aurora Tower parking lot he found a mat laid out and one “fan” standing there ready to see the show. Takagi learned he was going to face five of New Nemuro’s best in a gauntlet match.
First up was Atsushi Osuna. He surprised Takagi with Elbow Strikes. I mean, he really surprised Takagi because he barely felt them. Takagi pushed Osuna to the ground and easily pinned him.
Next up was Marcia with her manager Nene-sama. Takagi was distracted by Marcia’s looks but survived a sneak attack from Nene-sama to pin Marcia with the Stunner.
Takagi found himself in danger when Yujiru Nagata appeared. The doll put Takagi in the Nagata Armbar and almost made Takagi tap out. Takagi used all his strength to throw Nagata off him. Afterwards Nagata stopped moving so Takagi was declared the winner by knockout.
Takagi’s 4th opponent was Colonel Samba, a KFC mascot lookalike riding a giant chicken to the song “Samba De Janeiro”. Samba lost control of the chicken and it walked away from the ring so Takagi was again declared the winner.
The fifth and final opponent forced Takagi to look at himself in a new light. It was Underwear Takagi, a Sanshiro Takagi parody that wrestles in white briefs! They fought their way into Aurora Tower until they found themselves back outside. Sanshiro put on his own pair of white briefs and pinned Underwear with the Stunner to complete the gauntlet undefeated!
Takagi thanked Underwear for the perfect tribute right down to the entrance. He promoted DDT’s show taking place in Nemuro City later in the day. He also credited Samson Miyamoto for creating so many wonderful characters in New Nemuro. Miyamoto appeared and said he still has Andreza Giant Panda. He also compared New Nemuro to “ALL DOIN” and said it is no exaggeration that New Nemuro is the best group in Japan!
