Danshoku Dino is the next challenger for Kenny Omega’s DDT Extreme Title. Omega is looking forward to it. In fact, one of his favourite matches from 2011 was a singles match he had against Dino. Kenny even allowed Dino to select what match they will have. Dino tried to say he wanted a Table Match but couldn’t pronounce it in English. Tsurumi Amon thought Dino said T-back and decided the match will be a T-back Table Match. Nobody has a clue what the rules for that match are so Amon will create the rules eventually.

DDT “HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES’”, 20/07/2013
Tokyo Big Sight

5 Way Falls Count Anywhere Match: HARASHIMA defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kota Ibushi, Isami Kodaka and Michael Nakazawa when HARASHIMA pinned Nakazawa with the Somato (23:04).

DDT visited the Handmade In Japan Festival in the Tokyo Big Site to show how creative pro wrestling can be. The 5 Way Falls Count Anywhere match was exactly the kind of chaotic nonsense you would expect from DDT. Sanshiro Takagi wanted to fit in and create something home made so he built a fort with folding chairs. HARASHIMA threw Michael Nakazawa into the fort, knocking it down and sending chairs flying everywhere. Kota Ibushi took regular time outs so he could visit each of the exhibition booths set up around the festival. Isami Kodaka retreated into a bathroom and returned with a giant hammer. Ibushi moonsaulted off of a giant blue ball. Takagi kept trying to rebuild his fort only for someone else to destroy it. The match ended when HARASHIMA placed Nakazawa sitting onto a chair in the wreckage and then knocking him down with the Somato. After the match Takagi greeted the audience and told them organisations like DDT like to create things. But there is no creation without destruction. Now they have finished destroying everything, it is up to the people to create new stuff and make sure they are handmade.

There will be a lot of focus on two of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts at this show. Keisuke Ishii announced his intention to cash in his contract on 23rd June. Antonio Honda can spoil his plan and possibly take the title shot at Korakuen Hall for himself if he beats Ishii. Meanwhile one of the other contracts is currently held by Sayaka Obihiro from Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling. She and her mentor Emi Sakura are holding the contract hostage and dared DDT to either win it or buy it back. Tetsuya Endo, who regularly wrestles in Gatoh Move challenged Obihiro but failed to bring the contract back. Now he teams with the two women to defend the contract from the Samurai Sentai Samurai Rangers.

4 Way Mixed Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa defeated Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko, Kota Ibushi & Jaiko Ishikawa and Michael Nakazawa & Miho Wakizawa when Aikawa submitted Nakazawa with a Hooters Attack (53:15).

DDT held its first ever 4 Way Mixed Tag Match in a street to celebrate the wrestling career of Yuzuki Aikawa. The location was the same theme park that has held DDT’s previous “Anywhere Pro Wrestling” events and many of its rides and attractions played a part in the match once again. The night belonged to 222cm Big Guns, aka the team of Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa. They used Michael Nakazawa & Miho Wakizawa as target practice at a fairground shooting range and rode mechanical pandas while Kota Ibushi, Jaiko Ishikawa, Danshoku Dino and Yoshiko all fought each other in between rollercoaster rides. The four teams then fought inside a merry-go-round where Yoshiko thought it would be the perfect time to hold hands with Ibushi. As the wrestlers dragged each other into a nearby pond, Nakazawa disappeared. He came back dressed in Aikawa’s Sentai Power Ranger Blue costume, which was very revealing from behind. He attacked Takagi and kicked him into a castle of chairs that just so happened to have been set up that day. Back in the pond, Ibushi did a Cancun Tornado from the bridge onto everyone below in the water. Ishikawa dealt a great deal of damage on Aikawa, giving her the Thunder Fire into the pond.

Those still fighting moved back to the stage where Nakazawa got the upper hand and gave everyone the Ultimate Venom Arm. But when he thought he was the last one standing, a voice suddenly yelled “Yuzupon!” It was Aikawa to the rescue, dressed in a skimpy Stars & Stripes bathing suit. She and Takagi overpowered Nakazawa and had an emotional moment. Takagi asked Aikawa if she thought pro wrestling was fun. Aikawa cried and said it was. They then struck Nakazawa over his back with a Double Yuzupon Kick and Aikawa finished him off with her bouncy cleavage to win the match.

Afterwards Takagi and Aikawa repeated their exchange about pro wrestling being fun. Aikawa promoted Stardom’s big show in Sumo Hall on 29th April that will include her retirement match. She only wrestled for two and a half years but she will have a lot of memories when she is done. She also hopes that with a month left to go, she does not get injured before she retires. Everyone then got together as group and screamed “We Are Stardom!”

DDT “HOMOIRO CLOVER Z LIVE”, 09/06/2012
Miyaji Ironworks
142 Fans – No Vacancy

3 Way Trios Match: KUDO, Makoto Oishi & Akito defeated Danshoku Dino, Kota Ibushi & Hiroshi Fukuda and Michael Nakazawa, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira when Oishi submitted Nakazawa with a Palo Special on top of a forklift (28:01).

Homoiro Clover Z planned a special performance over at the Miyaju Ironworks, a popular location for DDT’s infamous Anwhere Pro Wrestling shows for some fun games, singing and dancing. However, the show was met with a few setbacks. The performance was delayed for an hour due to rainy weather. Then the planned game of bingo was cancelled when everyone forgot to bring cards. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament afterwards was interrupted by Michael Nakazawa and Tomomitsu Matsunaga. The two challenged Homoiro Clover Z to a game of Musical Chairs but that soon devolved into more arguements. Everyone decided to solve their problems by holding a Falls Count Anywhere Three Way Trios match. Danshoku Dino, Kota Ibushi & Hiroshi Fukuda were the first team, KUDO, Makoto Oishi & Akito were the second team and Nakazawa & Matsunaga dragged DJ Nira over to their side to be the third team. That left Hikari Minami on her own to cheer for everyone, dance on top of the forklift and cause some extra mischief on the side.

The factory surroundings were used during the match. Ibushi and Dino used a crane to hang Nakazawa by his tights, Akito and Fukuda threw lime powder at each other and everyone else fought to get access to parked van nearby. Nakazawa called for a ceasefire when he needed to use the bathroom but while he wasy busy using the urinal, Ibushi snuck up to him and kicked him in the rear. Dino used the forklift to lift him up and down on Oishi with his Danshoku Nightmare and then Ibushi later did a moonsault from the raised forklift. Oishi and Nakazawa then fought on top of the forklift. Oishi took a page from Warsman and locked on the Palo Special on Nakazawa with the forklift lowering down towards Dino’s exposed backside. Nakazawa submitted. Homoiro Clover Z ended the performance with their idol pose and thanked all the fans for coming.

DDT “MAID CAFE PRO WRESTLING”, 10/12/2011
Fukuoka Meinohama Cafe

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Hikaru Sato Vs KUDO & Michael Nakazawa

The Falls Count Anywhere match that DDT is infamous for doing will next take place in a maid cafe. Sanshiro Takagi will be involved in the match and he has chosen Hikaru Sato to be his tag team partner. Sato accepted the offer to take part so he could wrestle in his maid outfit again. Takagi & Sato chose KUDO & Michael Nakazawa as their opponents because they wanted to fight a champion and a punching bag respectively.

There will be a lottery to choose who among the audience will be allowed sit inside the cafe while the match is taking place. This is being done because DDT will be paying the cafe for cleaning fees as well as any damage they cause during the match. The fans who do not win will still be able to watch from the outside.

There is some news about Union and its association with Russia’s Independent Wrestling Federation. The IWF will be sending over Ivan Markov and Bonnie to compete against Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai in a Inter-Gender Tag Team match. Union will continue its relationship with the IWF by having Mitsuya Nagai act as an agent to overlook negotiations between the two promotions. As a result of his new job, Mitsuya now refers to himself as Vladimir Nagai. Could this business relationship lead to a few Union wrestlers competing for IWF in Russia sometime next year?

DDT “PRESIDENT PERVERT! ~ LAST BIG WRESTLING MATCH ON THE STREET”, 04/11/2011
Tokyo Asakusa Flower Mansion
342 Fans

1. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Championship – 3 Way Tag: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei and Danshoku Dino & Chou-un Shiryu when Sawa pinned Shiryu with the Shining Festival (59:35).
*V2 for Takagi & Sawa.

Another chaotic DDT match is over and done with as Munenori Sawa (the “Hentai” in the show’s title) participated in his final Anywhere Pro Wrestling bout. A 3 Way Tag Team match for the Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles was the only match on the show but it went on for almost an hour. Chou-un Shiryu was determined to win back his country’s championship and teamed up with Danshoku Dino to go after the belts. The Brahman Brothers were the third wheel and dark horses of the title match, bringing along their unpredictable shenanigans.

The event took place in a flower garden that contained rollercoaster rides. The brawling was allowed to go anywhere, except on the flowerbeds. Michael Nakazawa was the host running around the area shouting through a megaphone. Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda, GENTARO and Hiroyo Matsumoto all showed up at certain points and got involved. Ibushi of course attacked the other wrestlers with fireworks. Traffic cones, powder, tobasco sauce, ketchup, a bottle of Coca-Cola containing Mentos and a Sanshiro Takagi sing-a-long were all used as weapons. The match wound up at a lake with a small bridge going across it. Sawa ran off a plank attached to the bridge and landed a Shining Wizard on Chou-un Shiryu in the water for the victory. Afterwards, Takagi announced that the Big China Tag Titles were going to be sealed and no longer defended in Japan. However, he promised Chou-un that the belts will be returned to China and can be reinstated over there if he wishes.

One last thing happened to close out the show. Takagi thanked Sawa for his time wrestling in DDT and Union by presenting him with a brand new bicycle!
