2. Yasu Urano, Akito & Aja Kong Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Saki Akai
3. MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata

*KUDO will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The main event is back on! KUDO reclaimed his Right To Challenge contract from Daisuke Sasaki and still intends to cash it in at Korakuen Hall at the end of the month.

Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis are a Californian tag team known as The Arrogant Bastards. They approached Sanshiro Takagi requesting to participate in the audition for new T2Hide members. Takagi’s advice to them on Twitter is if they can dance better than Kazuki Hirata, they will pass the audition.

Aja Kong is back. She is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion last time I checked.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “HOWEVER 2015”, 07/06/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Power Of Dreams Vs Enjo-gun: Yumehito Imanari & Chikara Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki
2. Oretachi Nario No – Road To KO-D!?: Ken Ohka Vs Yukihiro Abe

Ken Ohka is now a marked man because of the Right To Challenge contract he currently possesses. Yukihiro Abe has challenged him to a match for the contract. Abe sees this as an opportunity to return to DDT, win the KO-D Title and face all of the new wrestlers that have appeared since he left. Ohka is determined not to lose. However there is danger lurking in the background. Mitomi Masayuki from Enjo-gun also wants a match with Ohka and is not happy to be ignored.

UNION “AMANIMOMAKEZU UNION 2015”, 17/06/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Hibiscus Mii (c) Vs Mio Shirai
2. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata (c) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
3. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) Vs Yusuke Kubo

The Brahman Brothers are coming to challenge Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata for the UWA Tag Team Titles. The Brahmans think the champions are freaks. In their minds Ishikawa acts like he’s Jesus and Shibata looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. The Brahmans are preparing for the match by eating a lot of hamburgers and coming up with tactics to attack Shibata’s feet because that is his weak point.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015” Results

May 23, 2015

hidaka-kodaka

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall
230 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Mitomi Masayuki with the Sister Abigail (7:42).
2. Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Ryu Gouma with the Upper Left Turn Kick (4:20).
3. Cherry defeated Aoi Ishibashi with the Spring Night Love (6:04).
4. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Mio Shirai defeated A.YAZAWA with the Figure 4 Neck Lock (12:43).
5. MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Ladybeard when Teioh pinned Ladybeard with a Leg Clutch Roll (13:03),
6. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo defeated FUMA when Kubo pinned FUMA with the Mexican Roll (17:56).
7. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Ikuto Hidaka with the Isamuashi Zan (19:01).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka.

Isami Kodaka was full of praise for Ikuto Hidaka after the main event. Kodaka said Hidaka was just the kind of guy he was waiting for to have a title match with.

Even thought it was a 3-on-1 Handicap match in favour of Union, FUMA had the King Legion watching his back and interfering on his behalf. The match wound up becoming 4-on-3. The King Legion got rid of Seiya Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda, leaving FUMA to finish off Yusuke Kubo. But Kubo dodged the Diving Headbutt and suddenly pinned FUMA with the Mexican Roll (Leg Trapped Backslide Pin). Kubo challenged FUMA to a Union MAX Title match at Shin-kiba 1st RING on 17th June.

Ladybeard wanted to help Union defend itself against the King Legion. He called the King Legion a not cute family. Kazushi Miyamoto is the not cute dad, MEN’S Teioh is the not cute mom and SAGAT is the not cute baby! Ladybeard came close to victory after capitalising on some teamwork that backfired. But Teioh turned the tables and rolled him into a pin.

The finish to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match had Mio Shirai and A.YAZAWA dancing to the Rocky theme. YAZAWA was giving Shirai a piggy back ride when the music stopped so Shirai rolled down and caught YAZAWA in the Figure 4 Neck Lock to tap him out. Shirai wants to challenge for the Fly To Everywhere Title one more time before she retires. She was told Hibiscus Mii will be back in Union on 17th June so the title match will take place there.

Ryu Gouma wanted to wrestle under a specific set of rules for his match with Kazuhiko Ogasawara. The rule changes meant nothing as Ogasawara obliterated him with karate kicks. Afterwards Ogasawara asked Gouma if Union is in a good state going into its 10th year of existence. Gouma said things are going well. Ogasawara kicked him again and said he will go back to training.

The Brahman Brothers will defend the UWA World Tag Team Titles against Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata at the 17/6 show.

Fukuda Wants Justice On FUMA, Higuchi Cashes In, Sasaki Hoards The Rest

May 20, 2015

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Ryu Gouma Vs Kazuhiko Ogasawara
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Mitomi Masayuki
3. Cherry Vs Aoi Ishibashi
4. MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Ladybeard
5. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Mio Shirai
6. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo
7. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Hiroshi Fukuda is looking forward to getting his hands on FUMA. He thinks giving him a 3-on-1 beatdown would strike a big blow to the King Legion. Justice will be served and he compared FUMA to Darth Vader from Star Wars. Was Darth Vader a nice guy? Nope!

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Yasu Urano & DJ Nira
3. MIKAMI, Tomoya & Makoto Oishi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
4. Akito Vs Kouki Iwasaki
5. KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
6. Falls Count Anywhere Special 4 Way Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Danshoku Dino
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

Kazusada Higuchi is going to be the first person to cash in the Right To Challenge Contract and in his home prefecture no less. Daisuke Sasaki and Ken Ohka currently have the others.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015”, 31/05/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. T2Hide New Members Audition: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs X, X & X
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

The originally planned KO-D Openweight Title match main event has been scrapped because KUDO lost his Right To Challenge Contract to Daisuke Sasaki. KUDO was going to cash in his title shot on this show. Sasaki shows no signs of doing the same, instead he is trying to win every single contract available. I’m not even sure if it’s supposed to be the ultimate insurance policy and not just Sasaki turning into an obsessive hoarder.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 OSAKA”, 14/06/2015
Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2

1. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
2. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
3. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
4. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa

Due to MIKAMI getting a KO-D Tag Team Title shot he will not be competing in this year’s King Of DDT tournament. But he has just the guy to help him fight Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi strength for strength. Shuji Ishikawa has a lot of history with Sekimoto in both Big Japan and Union. He has also defeated Okabayashi one on on back in February.

Tokyo Joshi And Union In Kitazawa Town Hall

May 15, 2015

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KITAZAWA DASH”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Yuka Sakazaki (w/ Kendo Ririko) Vs Akane Miura
2. Chikage Kiba Vs Hyper Misao
3. Shoko Nakajima & Erin Vs Ai Shimizu & KANNA
4. Nonoko Vs MIZUHO
5. Miyu Yamashita Vs Saki Akai

Nonoko Vs MIZUHO is the battle of the sex appeal!

This is KANNA’s first match since joining Biishiki-gun. Ai Shimizu says KANNA has been reborn into something beautiful.

Hyper Misao has been fighting 1.47m high monsters in preparation for her next enemy… a college student. Chikage Kiba returns after a several month absence.

Previous Tokyo Joshi shows invited idol groups to perform in between matches. This time the roster will split into groups and do the musical performances themselves. The first group is Mentai Gyo Uza Mango Soe (Mentai Dumplings Served With Mango is the literal translation I’m getting) made up of Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Erin.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Mio Shirai
2. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo
3. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Ikuto Hidaka

FUMA’s constant bragging of being the best wrestler in Union has drawn the ire of everyone not in the King Legion. After being confronted by Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo at the end of “GOLDEN UNION 2015”, FUMA dared all of them to fight him 3 on 1. That’s exactly what is going to happen in Kitazawa Town Hall.

SUPER CINDERELLA 1st Round, Right To Challenge 3 Way, Who Captured Shawn?

May 12, 2015

GANBARE☆JOSHI “RAISING AN ARMY ~ BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA~”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Hong Kong International Women Police Man Vs Miyako Matsumato
2. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Aoi Ishibashi Vs Orirabu
3. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Haruka Kato Vs J-Soul Pandita III IV’s Sister
4. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Manami Kanda Vs Akemi Papiyon
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Raising An Army Anniversary Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Yukihiro Abe & Shinichiro Tominaga
6. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Semi Final: X Vs X
7. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Semi Final: X Vs X
8. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Final: X Vs X

Hong Kong International Women Police Man is still expected to be Atsushi Maruyama in disguise.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WOW WAR TONIGHT 2015”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Ganbare☆Single Match: Yukihiro Abe Vs Tiger Bedscene
2. Power Of Dreams Showdown ~ Acceptance Of Rikidozan III Vs Hotel Scam Again: Chikara Vs Yumehito Imanari
3. The Answer Is NO! Special 3 Way Match: Mr. No Vs Kiku Montaro Vs Kuzu Hayashi
4. The True Value Of Leeway Generation X!?: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO
5. Reunion Of Fate! Black Jack Of The Lion And The Rubbish Heap: Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki

Kiku Montaro and Kuzu Hayashi are indie wrestlers. I think we all know who Mr. No is going to be.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Shunma Katsumata
2. Amon Tsurumi Cup Battle Royal: MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs DJ Nira
3. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
4. Anytime, Anywhere Holder 3 Way Match: KUDO Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
5. Different Life ~Sound Of Impermanence~: Danshoku Dino Vs Jinsei Shinzaki
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
7. DDT Extreme Title – Last Man Standing Match: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

A high stakes 3 Way Match guarantees one Right To Challenge Contract will change hands. Daisuke Sasaki wants to have every contract for himself so he can have a Plan B, C, D and E if his eventual cash in fails. He currently has two in his possession but he risks losing one if KUDO or Kazusada Higuchi beat him. Speaking of those two, they are both just weeks away from cashing in their contracts. To lose it now would be catastrophic for that person.

Amon Tsurumi will be the judge for his own Battle Royal. He will pick the winner based on whoever best meets his standards, whatever they are.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Isami Kodaka Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Isami Kodaka has said he uses the Shawn Capture Hold because he is a fan of Zero1 wrestler Ikuto Hidaka. He has invited Hidaka over to Union for a match to find out who uses the move better. Also because it will be a good match and Kodaka hopes everyone will enjoy as much as he will.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. MIKAMI Vs Makoto Oishi
2. Tomoya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Suguru Miyatake & Kouki Iwasaki
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & DJ Nira
4. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao
5. Teisen Specialty Sea Urchin, Salmon Roe And Scallop Bowl 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Saki Akai
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: HARASHIMA, Kota Ibushi & KUDO Vs Shigehiro Irie, Konosuke Takeshita & Kazusada Higuchi

Although this is the final DDT solo show in Sapporo Teisen Hall, DDT will be working with NOAH, Big Japan, K-Dojo, FREEDOMS and Tenryu Project for the very last wrestling show in the building on 30th June.

UNION, OZ ACADEMY, WAVE, ICE RIBBON “M.I.O 3” Results

May 9, 2015

sasaki-shirai

UNION, OZ ACADEMY, WAVE, ICE RIBBON “M.I.O 3”, 09/05/2015
Osaka Ikuno Kumen Center
247 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Mixed 6-Person Tag Team Match: Aja Kong, Hamuko Hoshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Mika Iida & Miyako Matsumoto when Kong pinned Fukuda with the Diving Elbow Drop (12:34).
2. Special Retirement Exhibition Match: KAGUYA Vs Ayako Hamada ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
3. 3 Way Match: Sonoko Kato defeated Ryo Minami and Mitsuhisa Sunabe when Kato pinned Minami with the Diving Guillotine Drop (9:44).
4. Irregular Rules Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Fairy Nihonbashi with the Fire Thunder (5:54).
5. Psuedo Close Match: HAYATA, Misaki Ohata & Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Yumi Ohka, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when HAYATA pinned Ohka with the Tsuchigumo (15:11).
6. Thanks For Teaching And Training During The Rookie Era: Takashi Sasaki defeated Mio Shirai with the Vertical Drop D-Geist (15:10).

She is four months away from retirement but Mio Shirai found time to thank and credit Takashi Sasaki for helping during her rookie years. Before the match began Shirai offered a handshake. Sasaki asked her if she is grateful. She said she was because she would have become a bad wrestler without his help. Sasaki did not shake her hand but was happy with her answer and called for the match to start. Shirai came close to winning when she countered a Power Bomb into the Tsuchigumo. Sasaki kicked out and stopped Shirai in her tracks with a Knee Kick and a Lariat. Shirai kicked out and countered the D-Geist into a Sleeper Hold. Sasaki countered that into the Michinoku Driver II followed by the D-Geist for the three count. After the match Sasaki thanked Shirai for picking him as an opponent knowing that she only has a limited amount of matches left to wrestle. He talked about knowing Mio and her sister Io Shirai for 8 years and the times she wrestled for his FREEDOMS promotion.

Yumi Ohka blamed Isami Kodaka for their loss in the semi-main event. The two haven’t seen eye to eye ever since “M.I.O 2” and Ohka challenged Kodaka to a match on 19th June. Meanwhile Misaki Ohata suggested a 3 Way Tag Match for a show on 12th July. She and Tsukasa Fujimoto can both go find partners to take on Shirai & HAYATA. HAYATA noted that he and Shirai kind of look alike so Ohata and Fujimoto should go looking for men who have similar appearances to themselves. He advised the audience to send both women suggestions on Twitter.

Due to a difference of over 80kg in weight between Shuji Ishikawa and Fairy Nihonbashi special rules were put in place to make the match more even. Nihonbashi only needed to pin Ishikawa for a one count to win. That wasn’t enough and Ishikawa went on to win the match without any hesitation.

Shirai’s masked alter ego KAGUYA had her retirement match with Ayako Hamada. Since it was just an exhibition the bout only lasted five minutes before being declared a draw. A retirement ceremony was held for her afterwards and included a message from AAA general manager Dorian Roldan read by Hamada. The message spoke of how “KAGUYA was born in Mexico” back in 2010 and was AAA’s first female masked wrestler from Japan.

Aja Kong was clearly frustrated with having to wrestle Miyako Matsumoto in the opening match. If that wasn’t enough, Hiroshi Fukuda tried to woo her with a love song. Kong gave him a Diving Elbow Drop for his troubles.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 2”, 10/05/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) & DJ Nira Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma
1. Soma Takao Vs Suguru Miyatake
2. Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Shunma Katsumata
3. Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai Vs Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, MIKAMI & X
5. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu

DNA rookies Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu are thrusted into the main event with big implications depending on the result. Higuchi and KUDO both have Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts and both have made their intentions clear to cash in later this month. Getting pinned would devastate either man’s plan.

The King Of Dark Title only changes hands if Gota Ihashi pins or submits one of his opponents. No title change if DJ Nira gets the win.

*V2 for FUMA.

fuma-ishikawa-headbutt

When DDT was done for the day, Union took over Korakuen Hall for their Golden Week show. The main event had FUMA and Shuji Ishikawa battling each other in a ring filled with roses for the Union MAX Title. Roses covered everything from the ropes to tables and chairs. Despite getting help from the King Legion at certain points, FUMA proved that he deserved to be champion by taking everything Ishikawa threw at him. He kicked out of the Running Knee Lift, the Splash Mountain threw a Rose Board. FUMA escaped from the Fire Thunder that would have driven him into a pile of chairs. He Headbutted Ishikawa and hit Buzzsaw Kicks and High Kicks. Ishikawa kept kicking out until FUMA hit the Jawbreaker Kick and then the Diving Headbutt. That was enough for FUMA to earn the win. FUMA declared himself the only original ace of Union. Yusuke Kubo suddenly approached FUMA to tell him Union was still willing to fight. He had Hiroshi Fukuda and Seiya Morohashi backing him up. This sets up a 6-Man Tag Team match between Union and the King Legion to take place soon.

fistbump

Isami Kodaka successfully defended the Independent World Jr. Title for the first time with a win over Yukio Sakaguchi. Isami’s kicks were too quick for the challenger. Sakaguchi was able to block the Isamuashi Zan but Kodaka immediately followed with a Buzzsaw Kick followed by another Isamuashi Zan for the three count. The two fistbumped after the match.

baggy-pants

The 2nd Generation Muscle Sakai Final was between Hiroshi Fukuda and Super Sasadango Machine. The winner gets to be the next Muscle Sakai. Let that sink in for a moment… Hanging above the ring was golden baggy pants, American flag baggy pants, gray baggy pants and t-shirts from both wrestlers. The golden pants are important as that is needed to represent Muscle Sakai II. It was up to the wrestlers to decide their fate. When Fukuda climbed the ladder his thoughts were broadcast over the sound system. Would he abandon his own identity to become Muscle Sakai? A voice from Heaven told him not to. Antonio Honda pulled down Fukuda and helped Sasadango up the ladder. Sasadango had the same crisis of confidence but he was more concerned by which baggy pants looked more fashionable. He decided to pull down the golden pants. But as he put them on Fukuda rolled him over and locked in an Armbar, forcing Sasadango to tap. Fukuda was given the right to be Muscle Sakai II and to wear the golden pants but he refused when he found out he would also take over Sakai’s 35 million yen mortgage, all of his taxes and also all of his obligations towards Sakai’s wife and family.

sagat-kazato

The King Legion continued their dominance over Union with a win over three of their regular wrestlers. The match started off as a brawl but then settled down when the Legion took control. The combined experience of the Legion was too much for the Union Sekigun and SAGAT scored the victory when he choked out Daichi Kazato with a Sleeper Hold.

shirai-ohka

Ken Ohka returned to Union for the first time since last year’s Union Ganbare War. He was here to reunite with Mio Shirai one last time before her retirement later this year. Kengo Mashimo joined in the occasion by using the name Kengo Ohka once more. Sadly the reunion ended in defeat when both Kengo & Seiya Morohashi applied Crippler Crossfaces to Shirai & Ohka. After the match Ohka led the crowd in cheers for Shirai and also Ganbare☆Wrestling.

fte-mii-cherry

Hibiscus Mii has come from out of nowhere to win the Fly To Everywhere Title! Her new title reign now gives her a reason to travel from Okinawa to Tokyo more often but she would rather defend the belt in her home promotion Ryukyu Dragon Pro Wrestling.

madoka-ladybeard

Madoka again tried to get Harumi Tachibana to marry him. He asked Ryu Gouma for legal advice over the issue. Gouma told him that according to Article 24 of the Constitution, marriage is established on the basis of only the agreement of both sexes. Article 741 of the Civil Code says the marriage is invalid if there was no agreement. Ladybeard would face Madoka to assess if he was worthy of marrying Tachibana. As the two wrestled Tachibana asked Gouma for his law book. The two fought over the book and it lead to Gouma accidentaly striking Ladybeard when he pulled the book away with all his strength. Madoka capitalised and rolled over Ladybeard for the pinfall. Madoka again proposed to Tachibana but she dumped him for Ladybeard instead.

Max Bump & Golden Union Cards, Upcoming Title Matches, Goodbye Teisen

April 22, 2015

DDT “MAX BUMP 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki
1. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. BOYZ Vs YaroZ Final Match: Makoto Oishi, Akito, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & X
3. Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal: Danshoku Dino Vs MIKAMI Vs Yasu Urano Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hoshitango Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs DJ Nira
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

So two of the wrestlers fighting over the last Right To Challenge Contract already have contracts. That’s a little unfair. I assume Hiroshi Fukuda’s and Yasu Urano’s contracts will be safe if they are just eliminated by ring out.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2015”, 29/04/2015

3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Atsushi Aoki
4. Suguru Miyatake Vs Yuji Hino
5. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata

Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall

1. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi

New challengers at last!

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN AOMORI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUGARU SHAMISEN~”, 05/05/2015
Aomori Hamanasu Hall

1. Akito Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
3. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

After spending months and months legitimising the DDT Extreme Title, Akito now faces his toughest test, Gorgeous Matsuno’s karaoke.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN YAMAGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON’NYAKU~”, 06/05/2015
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita

I’m assuming the KO-D Openweight Champion, if it’s either Kota Ibushi or HARASHIMA will be on all three shows on the week beginning 4th May. Maybe a Right To Challenge cash in can take place here?

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Akito has picked Shigehiro Irie to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. It means a lot for Irie to get the title shot in Nagoya where he wrestled for several years before joining DDT.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The DNA stand out Kazusada Higuchi has made it public that he will cash in his Right To Challenge Contract in his home prefecture of Hokkaido. All he has to do is not lose it until then. He’s on the right track because he has yet to drop a fall in his young pro wrestling career.

Saki Akai and Tomoya will wrestle on the show.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: X Vs X

Sapporo Teisen Hall will be closing down in June. The venue has been a popular destination for indie wrestling with DDT and Big Japan among others hosting shows whenever they were in Sapporo. Apparently Big Japan will hold the final wrestling show in the building but before that DDT will say goodbye with a double show in May.
