Shin-Kiba 1st RING
259 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Toru Sugiura defeated Daichi Kazato with the Dangerous Dragon Sleeper (8:21).
3. SAGAT defeated Ryu Gouma with the Grind Gore (3:05).
4. Tsukushi & Aoi Kizuki defeated Cherry & Masako Takanashi when Kizuki pinned Cherry with the Cross Arm German Suplex (10:46).
5. Idea Pocket Presents: Menso~re Oyaji defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a School Boy (0:25).
5a. Menso~re Oyaji defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Camel Clutch (3:22).
6. Jun Kasai, Nazo Fukumen K & Nazo Fukumen M defeated Isami Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA when Kasai pinned FUMA with the Pearl Harbour Splash (16:22).

The Nazo Fukumen stood tall in the main event, defeating the Union home team of Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka & FUMA. However, there was trouble in the ranks when Nazo Fukumen A took offence to Nazo Fukumen P insulting Union. A gave P a Spear and then unmasked to reveal what everyone knew all along, it was Ken Ohka. The Ganbare☆Wrestling founder cried and told the Union wrestlers to hang in there. He bowed for forgiveness and pleaded to be accepted back into Union so he could help fight what he created. Two new Nazo Fukumen then appeared, one coloured red (and sort of looking like a Crazy Monkey) and the other coloured blue (and sort of looking like a certain Union Diva Commissioner). Fukumen P introduced them as the real leaders behind the group.

Jun Kasai reluctantly teamed up with the Nazo Fukumen and did not find being kidnapped by them funny. Kasai demanded a singles match against either Shuji Ishikawa or Isami Kodaka at a future Union show.

Menso~re Oyaji wasn’t really interested in wrestling Hiroshi Fukuda today, even with the reward of dating Riki Seibi on the line. Oyaji quickly pinned Fukuda but Seibi was bored by the match and requested a restart. Oyaji won the rematch but was generous enough to set up a double date involving himself, Fukuda, Seibi and Tsubasa Amami afterward.

Before the women’s tag match began Aoi Kizuki told Cherry the Fly To Everywhere Title belt is cute but Cherry is not. Kizuki now has a claim for a title shot after she pinned the champion.

With the help of some medical experts, Ryu Gouma announced that SAGAT will be able to live a healthy as a Chinese Vampire. He wasn’t able to prevent the side effect of SAGAT’s constant hopping though. Gouma also discovered that SAGAT’s past memories will be recovered once he eats some bread. He spent the match trying to force feed bread to the vampire and eventually succeeded, but only after he lost the match. It took a few minutes but SAGAT’s memories eventually came back.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

0. Dark Match – Mask Contra Mask: M Samurai Vs M.Samurai
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Yuji Hino & Hoshitango

The Monster Army’s big guns are the first team to go after Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

A fake M Samurai is on the loose! Kazuki Hirata had his own custom made El Samurai mask when he joined the Samurai Sentai Samurai Rangers but it went missing and he had to wear a plastic bag with the mask drawn on it over his head ever since. The mask was last seen worn by Samurai TV! personality Miki Motoi but that is no guarantee she is the person Hirata will fight in the Mask Contra Mask dark match.

*Kaori Yoneyama fails in V2. Cherry becomes the 2nd Union Fly To Everywhere World Champion!
5. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Daichi Kazato defeated Daisuke Sekimoto, Great Kojika & Hideyoshi Kamitani when Ishikawa pinned Kamitani with the Splash Mountain (18:35).
6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the One-Winged Angel (26:19).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.

Let it be known, the Kamehameha cannot beat the Hadouken. Kenny Omega defeated Isami Kodaka in a chaotic TLC Falls Count Anywhere match. After the match Kenny thanked Union for the fun he had wrestling there and said goodbye, leaving with the DDT Extreme Title. Nobody was nominated to be the No. 1 Contender so it is possible the championship will return to DDT full time in the future. Kodaka was very upset he could not win. He was raised to be a Union Warrior but felt he wasn’t good enough to represent them. Naomi Susan gave him words of encouragement and promised he will get to do fun things with wrestling. The Nazo Fukumen tried to attack the Union Sekigun after the show but they were easily dismantled.

It took eight years but Cherry has finally become a Union champion after winning the Fly To Everywhere Title from Kaori Yoneyama. It was a 3 Way Elimination match with Nazo Fukumen B also involved. The masked woman was eliminated early when interference from Nazo Fukumen A backfired and got her Speared by accident. Cherry was then able to pin Yoneyama with the Fantasy Illusion. Although the 38 year old considers herself an enemy to young people, she has learned it is important to accept her age and not let that get in the way of her dreams.

Kyohei Wada had the honour of trying to officiate the mess that was the Aipoke World Title decision match. Everyone involved wanted to win the attention of idol Aino Kishi but FUMA seemed to be the most enamoured with her. Things went bad for FUMA when Sanshiro Takagi and Jun Kasai began calling him a smelly virgin as they hit him. Hiroshi Fukuda stole the win after pinning FUMA with a School Boy. Fukuda proposed to Kishi afterwards but she turned him down, explaining that Kyohei Wada is more her type. Fukuda wanted to kiss her so she would change her mind but he was slapped unconscious instead. Meanwhile, Shigehiro Irie could be seen in the bleachers dancing along to Kishi’s exit music “Banana Mango High School” by Ebisu Muscats. Your KO-D Champion, ladies and gentlemen…

Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang were able to immobilise SAGAT with a mystical sealing ward until Ryu Gouma came to the rescue and freed him from the trap. SAGAT cleared got revenge on Shiryu by biting him in the neck. After winning the match, Gouma legally declared SAGAT a human being even though he still looked and acted like a Chinese vampire. That’s not all, Shiryu began to jump and hop like a vampire when he regained conciousness.

1. Ryu Gouma & SAGAT Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang

6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match has been decided. Isami Kodaka won the Extreme Title in a Tonkaichi, Ladders & Chairs Match against El Generico over a year ago. He wanted to face Kenny in the same match but with tables instead of the giant hammer. However since Kenny is a Street Fighter, a Falls Count Anywhere rule is now added to the match. Isami revealed he has learned the Kamehameha to counter Kenny’s Hadouken. He thinks the Hadouken has a fatal weakness that the Kamehameha does not possess. The ladder Isami wants to use is claimed to be 1.5 times higher than the type he usually uses in matches. It is a ladder high enough to poke the heavens.

The Nazo Fukumen group believe their token female member will win the Fly To Everywhere Title and they compared it to the Battle of Sekigahara, a decisive battle that was fought in 1600. The Triple Threat match will be first fall to a finish.

Choun-Shiryu demonstrated a weakness of the recently converted Chinese vampire SAGAT. When Shiryu sticks a mystical sealing ward onto SAGAT’s forehead, the vampire freezes on the spot. Now knowing that he can render one of his opponents useless, it will make his mission to transform Ryu Gouma into a vampire easier. China has many problems right now so Shiryu wants to have a lawyer under his control if anything goes wrong. That’s why he wants to turn Gouma into a vampire.

Seiya Morohashi, who was forced to withdraw from Union after losing a Mask Contra Withdraw match at the last show has been begging for his job back. He might be added to the dark match.

DDT “PLANT WRESTLING”, 29/05/2013
Miyaji Ironworks

Street Wrestling Match: Kazuyoshi Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi’s Elite Street Troops

DDT returns to the factory in Miyaji for another bout of street wrestling and this time they are bringing Kazuyoshi Sakai with them. Sakai was a part time wrestler for MUSCLE between 2005 and 2010. He mostly wrestled as a Razor Ramon HG parody during his time there. He has since returned for one more match at last year’s “BUDOKAN PETER PAN” show. Sanshiro Takagi is bringing together an elite team of street wrestlers to take on Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. I will be shocked if one of those elite wrestlers is not Kota Ibushi.
