The uneasy alliance between Osamu Namiguchi and Tigger Bedscene will get tested when the two face each other. Will this just be a shot for Bedscene to earn Namiguchi’s respect or could the partnership turn ugly?

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.

syoko-tokyoprincess

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~TOKYO JOSHI PRO DAY~”, 08/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated KANNA with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:34).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Akane Miura defeated Miyu Yamashita with a Lariat (6:52).
3. Summer Vacation Is Special! Exciting Tokyo Joshi Festival 3 Way Match: MIZUHO and Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki when MIZUHO and Tatsumi both pinned Sakazaki in a children’s pool (11:57).
4. Animation Specialty Channel AT-X Uchi Summer Festival Up A Notch 2015! Geki Atsu ☆ Challenge: Saki Akai & Ai Shimizu defeated Nonoko & Hyper Misao when Akai pinned Misao with the Rookie Award (13:41).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Akane Miura with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:36).

Shoko Nakajima is the winner of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup! Nakajima beat KANNA in the semi-final while Akane Miura beat Miyu Yamashita. In the final Miura refused to shake Nakajima’s hand before the match started. Nakajima kicked out of the Lariat Miura used to beat Yamashita. She then sent Miura into the ropes with a Hurricanrana and followed up with the Rider Kick 619. It was all over when Nakajima did the Northern Lights Suplex. Her prize for winning the tournament is booking rights for the next show on 29th August. Nakajima also challenged Saki Akai to a match in Shinjuku FACE on 22nd September. Akai came out and asked if Nakajima was Cinderella because she looks pretty dirty. Akai accepted the challenge and pointed out there is plenty of time between now and then. Akai bragged that she becomes more beautiful after every day so Nakajima better be ready for her.

Ai Shimizu is currently the poster girl for AT-X’s “Our Summer Festival 2015!” campaign. She was presented with a bouquet of flowers from last year’s poster girl Yukari Fukui before her match.

The 3 Way Match left everyone soaking wet. A small children’s pool was placed in the ring along with super soakers and water balloons for the girls to use. There was also a blindfold, baseball bat and watermelon for the girls to play split the watermelon. Yuka Sakazaki put both MIZUHO and Rika Tatsumi into the pool and attempted a Swan Dive Splash. Both girls moved out of the way and Sakazaki landed into the pool. She was then pinned by both of her opponents at the same time.

The Glass Is Half Full, Partial Beer Garden Cards

July 28, 2015

The DDT summer tradition is here! Beer Garden Week is a week long series of shows held every year in Shin-kiba 1st Ring. Each show is produced and booked by a different wrestler or stable in DDT. This leads to a variety of crazy matches and ideas. There is also plenty of beer and food served to the fans during the show. So let’s have a look at what’s on offer this year.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~DDT DAY~”, 01/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
2. Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Shunma Katsumata
3. KUDO Vs Kota Umeda
4. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Soma Takao
5. New Ghost Story Numabukuro Death Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Danshoku Dino & Saki Akai
6. DDT Extreme Title Next Challenger Final: Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi vs Masa Takanashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiroshi Fukuda

One of the highlights of Beer Garden every year is Hisaya Imabayashi visiting the area to tell ghost stories to the wrestlers. Last year had a few duds due to tiredness so here’s hoping this year will bring plenty of scares.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~DNA DAY~”, 02/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Wrestling Koshien 2015 – Round 1: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Wrestling Koshien 2015 – Round 1: X Vs X
3. Wrestling Koshien 2015 – Semi Final: X Vs X
4. Wrestling Koshien 2015 – Semi Final: X Vs X
5. Wrestling Koshien 2015 – Final: X Vs X

A 6-man mini tournament is being held and the winner will be added to the evening DDT show. The entrants are Kazusada Higuchi, Shunma Katsumata, Suguru Miyatake, Ryota Nakatsu, Kota Umeda, Kouki Iwasaki and Dai Suzuki. Two of the wrestlers will receive byes to the semi finals.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~DDT DAY~”, 02/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Wrestling Koshien 2015 Winner Vs X

Drink every time X = Shiori Asahi.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~TEAM DRIFT DAY~”, 03/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Shigehiro Irie Produce Match: X Vs Gota Ihashi
2. Hardcore 4 Way Match: Shigehiro Irie Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuko Miyamoto Vs Gabaiji-chan

According to the DDT website this show will involve a Round Girl named Chelsea. I assume this is the Stardom wrestler. I also assume she will be involved with whatever gives Gota Ihashi a concussion that day.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~T2HIDE DAY – WORLD LUCHA EXPO JAPAN~”, 04/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Exercise & Stretch DVD Launch – All Out Stretch War: Kazuki Hirata (Yoyogi-Uehara) Vs Seiya Morohashi (Kasiwa)

3. World Dream Match – Full Blown Italian Showdown Final Conclusion: Antonio Honda & Sasaki And Gabbana (Italy) Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang (China)
4. Lucha Extremadura Jasu: Sanshiro Takagi (Osaka), Toru Owashi (Nagano) & Kazuki Hirata (Yoyogi-Uehara) Vs X, X & X

T2Hide is bringing a lot of international flavour to this year’s Beer Garden. We got some old “gaijin” returning like Louis Takanashi XIV from France (with his Death Cake no doubt) and Italy’s own Sasaki And Gabbana.

Kazuki Hirata has his own fitness DVD now available on DDT’s online store. But this has created a conflict with another fitness enthusiast, Seiya Morohashi. The go to battle on the day the DVD is launched.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~SMILE SQUASH DAY~”, 05/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Grand Sumo Summer Tournament: X Vs X
2. Danshoku Dino (w/ Makoto Oishi) Vs Kota Umeda (w/ Kazusada Higuchi)
3. HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Yasu Urano & X

Will Tomomitsu Matsunaga be back to defend his DDT Sumo King crown?

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~HAPPY MOTELS DAY~”, 06/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Antonio Honda Vs Transparent Mel Gibson

Match #2 sounds like the greatest thing ever.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~SHUTEN-DOJI DAY~”, 07/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Masako Takanashi & Riho Vs Emi Sakura & “Birds”

Yukio Sakaguchi & Hikaru Sato team together in DDT for the first time in over a year and a half.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~TOKYO JOSHI PRO DAY~”, 08/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita Vs Akane Miura
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

The 2nd Tokyo Princess is about to be crowned.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~DANSHOKU DINO & SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE DAY~”, 08/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. The World’s Most Powerful Cultural Heaven Olympics – Round 1: Sambo Oishi Vs Gota Ihashi
2. The World’s Most Powerful Cultural Heaven Olympics – Round 1: Masa Takanashi Vs Yuko Miyamoto
3. The Lamentations Of The 40 Year Old Wrestler – Enter Sandman Falls Count Anywhere Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs KUDO Vs Seiya Morohashi Vs Antonio Honda
4. Turn Based Wrestling ~Endless Gig~: Danshoku Dino Vs Ken Ohka

Songs by Tomoyasu Hotei and B’z will alternate during the main event. Danshoku Dino can only win during Hoeti songs while Ken Ohka can only win during B’z songs.

Some weird “Mixed Martial Arts” competition takes place here, except each competitor represents a cultural art. Masa Takanashi represents Shogi writing, Yuko Miyamoto competes as a former student council president, Sambo Oishi fights for newspapers and Gota Ihashi has the backing of society’s pottery section.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2015 ~DDT DAY~”, 09/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Beer Garden Specialty! 6-Man Lottery Tag Match: KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi, HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazusada Higuchi

As always a fan drawn 6-Man Tag draws the series to a close. The two teams will be determined by a lottery with each pick chosen by a random member of the audience. This is also the final show before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”.

DDT “HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2015” Results

July 25, 2015

DDT “HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2015”, 25/07/2015
Tokyo Big Sight
??? Fans

Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way 6-Person Tag Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Hyper Misao defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai and Antonio Honda, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Nonoko when Dino pinned Hirata with the Danshoku Driver onto a table (27:00).

DDT returned to the HandMade In Japan Festival for their annual Falls Count Anywhere match for the event. Before the match began Amon Tsurumi went over the rules. If a wrestler broke any of the products on display in the area, they would have to pay for it. Each of the wrestlers entered the stage wearing handmade masks created by sellers at the event.

Kazuki Hirata’s dance was interrupted by the match starting on the stage. Hyper Misao dove off the stage onto some of her opponents on the ground below. Sanshiro Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream combat bicycle and Lariated Tomomitsu Matsunaga as he cycled past him. Danshoku Dino brought out a giant hammer and swung wild with it. The match travelled into indoors and Dino reminded everyone to be careful around the trade hall. He and Makoto Oishi bought some smartphone covers and wore them on their hands. Takagi and Antonio Honda bought some t-shirts while Saki Akai found a massive mecha fist. She used it to rocket punch everyone. Back at the outdoor stage Honda did some Bionic Elbows and yelled “Dusty!” during each one. Nonoko joined in but she yelled “Busty!” instead. Everyone fought over the HIRATA GO! glasses and the defeated were thrown into Dino’s ass on a ladder. After that Dino and Hirata were the last left standing and Dino put Hirata through a table with the Danshoku Driver for the win.

After the match Dino told the crowd their is no destruction without creation. He noted there was not as much destruction as last year’s match but they were still able to create. He then spoke of a girl who saw last year’s match and afterwards wanted to be a pro wrestler. That girl is now Hyper Misao. She confirmed the story and started to cry. She came all the way from Gotham City in northern Kanto to visit the event and enjoyed what she saw from DDT. Today was also her first victory which makes the match even more memorable for her.

Saki Akai insulted Erin after the main event, saying Erin’s rest has done nothing to make her more beautiful. She also had a gift for Erin. She ordered Ai Shimizu to hand over a bag containing cheese, milk and anchovies. Akai told Erin to eat more and gain strength so she can get to her level.

MIZUHO was pulled from the show due to suffering from a high fever. Her planned 3 Way match became just a singles between Nonoko and Rika Tatsumi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA DASH” Results

July 18, 2015

syoko-beats-nonoko

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA DASH”, 18/07/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall
202 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 1 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao & MIZUHO when Yamashita pinned Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (9:10).
2. Saki Akai & KANNA defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi when KANNA pinned Tatsumi with the Spear Of Versailles (11:28).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Akane Miura defeated Ai Shimizu with a LAriat (7:24).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nonoko with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:43).

The Tokyo Princess Cup continued with the remaining first round matches. Akane Miura defeated Ai Shimizu, eliminating one of the two Biishiki-gun wrestlers from the tournament. Shoko Nakajima scored a big upset by eliminating last year’s winner Nonoko in the main event. The semi-final draw took place at the end of the show. The matches taking place on 8th August are Miyu Yamashita Vs Akane Miura and KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima.

Rika Tatsumi (formerly Ririko Kendo) returned from injury and had her first match in over 14 months. However her teamwork with Yuka Sakazaki did not work out as planned. She gave Sakazaki a Facebuster from the top rope with the intention of slamming her into KANNA but KANNA rolled out of the way. Saki Akai took out Sakazaki at ringside with a Running PK from the apron while KANNA picked up the win with the Spear Of Versailles on Tatsumi. In the post-match interview Tatsumi said the match was fun and she was happy her return ended safely. She admitted her fear of getting injured again may have effected her performance.

Five months into their wrestling careers, Hyper Misao & MIZUHO teamed up again for the first time since their débuts. The newly named Hero & Sexy team wanted to defeat Miyu Yamashita in a handicap match. Doing so would make them the double aces of Tokyo Joshi according to Misao. At one point they put Yamashita in a lewd position with Misao applying a Wheelbarrow Stretch and forcing Yamashita into a Stinkface from MIZUHO. However a backfired Lariat allowed Yamashita to turn the tables and pin Misao.

Ayumu Honda is from K-DOJO. Macho Michaels is from the indie sleaze scene and forms the Bodybuilding Army with Seiya Morohashi. They sent a message to Kazuhiko Ogasawara proclaiming that muscles are more exciting than karate. Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda also sent a message warning Ogasawara of their Judo abilities. This lead to Ogasawara challenging both teams to a 3 Way Tag Match which might be too much for his new protégé Ryu Gouma to handle.

4. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Madoka

A stipulation yet to be decided will be added to the Union Sekigun Vs King Legion 6-Man Tag.

Kazuhiko Ogasawara sent a letter to Union explaining he has taken Ryu Gouma under his wing. He calls Gouma an idiot who people laugh at but if he learns Karate he could beat people that are 7 and even 8 feet tall! The letter ends with Ogasawara saying the time has come for Karate-gun’s revival! Karate-gun was Union’s first enemy faction when the brand was re-established in 2005. The infamous feud featured Ogasawara fighting Poison Sawada in a Scorpion Death Match and later a Toxic Barbed Wired Board Death Match. I don’t think the same will happen here with Gouma.

Saki Akai was pleased with the result in the main event as well as KANNA advancing to the next round in the Tokyo Princess Cup. Shoko Nakajima blamed Nonoko for their defeat. The two will soon face each other in the tournament.

Yuka Sakazaki was said to feel broken hearted after losing to Miyu Yamashita.

Chikage Kiba appeared and apologised for her sudden exit from pro wrestling. However she stresses that she has not quit Tokyo Joshi Pro and hopes to come back some day in the future.

Hyper Misao said it was fate for her to face KANNA again and convince her to leave Biishiki-gun. Misao blamed the loss on her outfit, if the match took place in the winter then she would have won.

Rika Tatsumi announced her returns match will take place on 18th July. She and Yuka Sakazaki will take on Saki Akai & Ai Shimizu.
