There were a lot of run ins during the main event. “Vince McMahon”, “Shane McMahon”, “Mankind”, “Booker T” (Suguru Miyatake thankfully not going blackface), “Scott Hall” (Konosuke Takeshita) and “The Rock” (Kazusada Higuchi) all made their presence felt throughout the match, hitting their finishers on the wrestlers and the referee. Isami Kodaka ran down to save Hiroshi Fukuda from a further beating after the match. “Hulk Hogan” (Antonio Honda) then appeared and yelled “You!” at Kodaka. Suddenly Nerima Sting attacked Kodaka with his baseball bat. Hogan and Sting did some posing for the crowd and then left. Fukuda said to Kodaka that Ultimate Superstars Action has finally come to Tavern Wrestling. He warned they will grow more dangerous until Tavern Wrestling is buried in darkness. He knows Hogan and Sting will return on the 25th November so they must join forces to stop them!

Kodaka challenged Jun Kasai to a singles match sometime down the line.

Aja Kong came to the show on short notice for an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title defence. She faced off against four opponents and defeated them with little trouble. Suguru Miyatake asked Kong after the match if they could begin a relationship together. Kong rejected him and called him LiLiCo’s hand me down. Miyatake attacked Kong and Cherry suddenly entered the ring to help Kong fight him off. Cherry hugged Kong but it was a trap! Cherry used a Judo throw to slam Kong onto the canvas and she then pinned her to win the Iron Man Title! Cherry said she was taking the belt with her all the way to Osaka.

A team challenge took place throughout the show. The Dropkick Bar wrestlers were on Team Red and their opponents were on Team White.

In the main event the White Team introduced Jun Kasai as their mystery wrestler. Isami Kodaka landed the Diving Double Knee Drop from the ladder onto Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and the challenge for his team. Afterwards he offered Kasai a match on 27th October. Kasai accepted.

Hiroshi Fukuda and The Great Kojika sang old songs while they wrestled each other.

Music from Ashita no Joe played throughout the Glove Match. By the time the match went into the final round Kodaka was starting to resemble Joe Yabuki in his final fight.

A single lighttube was attached to the ropes for Match #3. The aim of the match was to smash the lighttube into the opponent.

In the opening match a wrestler had to drink a glass of tequila every time they were thrown out of the ring. Tetsuya Endo put Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold and force fed him the bottle, rolling him over with a School Boy afterwards.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Daisuke Sasaki has been honing his new Vietnam Driver II finisher all month long. The move has pinned Yukio Sakaguchi, earning Sasaki the KO-D Openweight Title match. However since then Sakaguchi has been figuring out how to counter it and he was able to pin Sasaki at a later show. Sasaki claims this is all part of his plan to win the title.

Things are looking up for #OhkaEmpire as they prepare to fight Team Drift one more time. Danshoku Dino has gotten the better of Keisuke Ishii in their recent matches together and Super Sasadango Machine re-established how powerful the Lehman Shock is. However Ken Ohka sticks out as the weak link of the team.

Joey Ryan has won all of his matches so far with the Sweet Tooth Music, a Super Kick to an opponent while they have a lollipop stuck in their mouth.

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL HEAVEN” Results

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL HEAVEN”, 28/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
324 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda when Endo pinned Umeda with the Torture Rack Bomb (9:05).

5. Koshien Finals Of Summer: Isami Kodaka defeated Atsushi Maruyama with the Running Isamuashi Homerun (19:01).

A notable journalist was in the crowd to watch DDT for the first time. Yoichi Watanabe was kidnapped in Afghanistan in 2010 and kept captive for five months until he was freed. Isami Kodaka invited him into the ring after the main event for a toast.

A brand new championship was introduced for wrestlers to get their hands on, although it is a little bit slippy. The Shinkiba Famous Golden Love Lotion Title was on the line in a Ladder Match. A bottle of lotion was hung over the ring and whoever climbed the ladder and grabbed it was declared the winner. However there was other bottles of lotion around ringside that could be used. Takayuki Ueki was fixated on using the lotion to wash his chest hair. He also pulled a gun on everybody. Seiya Morohashi was pinned down with the ladder while Hiroshi Fukuda and Jaki Numazawa both climbed to the top despite being covered in lotion. Fukuda had a microphone and he asked Numazawa to sing with him. He did but it was a trick! Fukuda grabbed Numazawa and yelled he was going to do the Perfect Plex off the ladder. However Fukuda instead lost his grip because of the lotion and slipped off the ladder, Numazawa alone to grab the lotion bottle. He and Ueki celebrated the victory by hugging each other’s slippy bodies.

Yuka Sakazaki and MIZUHO both wrestled in yukatas. They used a water gun and rubber floating ring during their match.

Today was the first day of voting for the 2015 DDT Dramatic General Election. Although he wasn’t wrestling on the show, Makoto Oishi was in attendance trying to win votes by giving free hugs to people.

He trained in Judo but also filmed his own pro wrestling matches while in junior high school and posted them to Youtube.

Shinjuku FACE

Union gets a visit from All Japan for an inter-promotional tag team match. Shuji Ishikawa has made a few appearances in AJPW this year and even threw out a challenge to Akebono for a Triple Crown Title match. He could send a loud message if he and Daichi Kazato can beat the visiting team of Go Shiozaki & Kotaro Suzuki.

Look, it’s neat and all for somebody to go all out while they still can before retirement but will somebody tell Mio Shirai to stop getting into matches with psychopaths?

Masako Takanashi will also be on the show.

They blinded their opponents with black ink to get the win.
