The madness that is Beer Garden Fight 2013 continued with UraShimaKudo Day. The main event saw all four members of the group fight each other in a 4 Way Elimination match. The eliminations all happened in a short space of time with HARASHIMA surprisingly getting knocked out first by FUMA. KUDO pinned Yasu Urano and then a minute later knocked FUMA out of the ring to win.

KUDO was the referee for the Ebisuko Bar Battle Royal where the winner would get free meals at the bar for one year. Danshoku Dino and Konosuke Takeshita accidentally bumped heads during a handshake at the beginning of the show. They ended up swapping bodies (and wrestling gear) for this match as a result. If that wasn’t bad enough, Tanomusaku Toba accidentally knocked out KUDO with the Backblow during the match.

FUMA’s match was a tribute to Okinawa Pro Wrestling. He wrestled as Jinbeizamen, which was his masked gimmick during his stay in Okinawa.

HARASHIMA wrestled an old friend of his in the opener. Eririn Takagi was a part of the same student wrestling club HARASHIMA was in during his college days.

A Sambo Vs Judo challenge was set up between Daisuke Kiso and Hiroshi Fukuda to determine which martial art was better. They competed in five unique challenges that were all chosen because they did not give any advantage or disadvantage to either martial art. They were also activities that had nothing to do with anything. The five events were kanji writing, drawing Buffaloman, selling food and drink to the audience, a song contest and a bodybuilding contest. Daisuke Kiso won all five events. Well, “Daisuke Kiso” won all five to be accurate. Kiso was replaced by someone else in Rounds 2-5. At the very end of the show, Kiso and Fukuda agreed to have a proper competitive match to decide which martial art was better. Fukuda won and even got cheered by the crowd for finally being able to win something today.

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino defeated Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie (c) when Sasaki pinned Ishii with the Now Or Never (10:32).
*Team Dream Futures fail in V1. Monster Army becomes the 2nd KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the One-Winged Angel (23:14).
*V1 for Kenny Omega. Isami Kodaka fails in V1. Kenny Omega becomes the 22nd DDT Extreme Champion!

Kenny Omega can now call himself a Double Champion! He now adds the DDT Extreme Title to keep his KO-D Openweight Title company. Omega has his theme music played live by the Capcom band ROCK-MEN while Isami Kodaka was accompanied by members of Union as well as MIKAMI. The One-Winged Angel was the deciding factor and Isami admitted defeat afterwards. Omega nominated HARASHIMA as his next challenger for beating him in the KO-D Tag Team Title match from a week ago. Kenny pointed out that HARASHIMA has yet to beat him in a singles match.

Prepare the tanks, the Monster Army are now the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! Not a bad birthday present for Yuji Hino, who turns 28 today. Antonio Honda declared he will start the auction for the belts at 300 million yen. Keisuke Ishii was devastated to lose the 6-Man Tag Title so soon after losing the DDT Extreme Title.

Toru Owashi appeared to announce his full time return to wrestling. He has spent the last couple of years away from wrestling raising enough money to move to Tokyo. Now he is running his own shop in Tokyo and is able to wrestle again. Sanshiro Takagi isn’t excited about the news. He thinks DDT has enough wrestlers and wonders why Owashi hasn’t gone looking for other promotions. Tsurumi Amon will put Owashi through a series of matches to see if he is good enough to come back.

Yuzuki Aikawa’s DDT farewell was ruined by Danshoku Dino & Akiawa’s fellow Stardom wrestler Yoshiko. Dino debuted a brand new finisher to pin Sanshiro Takagi. From what I can guess, the Shin Danshoku Driver is a Beach Break with the victim’s head shoved into the back of Dino’s tights. Takagi demanded a rematch and told Aikawa that there is one place she hasn’t bounced and wrestled in yet, the streets!

KUDO will return to action on the 17/2 Korakuen Hall show, making the Ura-Shima-Kudo unit complete again. FUMA interrupted the announcement saying that the group is now called Ura-Shima-Fuma. FUMA and Yasu Urano argued over who is actually a member of the group with Urano pointing out that FUMA is challenging him and HARASHIMA for the KO-D Tag Titles on 10/2. They shook hands but Urano then blindsided FUMA with the Tombstone Piledriver.

Hiroshi Fukuda was not happy to take on five wrestlers in a Handicap match. He demanded to Tsurumi Amon that if he won the match, he should get a prize of his choosing. Amon accepted the idea but Fukuda tricked him by switching spots with Gota Ihashi before the match. DJ Nira defended Ihashi and teamed with him to make it 4 Vs 2 only to betray him with a Rocket Punch. Fukuda gave Ihashi the Perfect Plex but only got a two count. Fukuda reacted with a loud “Nooooooooooo!!!!” Ihashi capitlised on Fukuda’s shock and pinned him to win the match. Amon asked an upset Fukuda what his wish was. Fukuda wanted to become just like Vince and promote his own show. Amon misunderstood and thought Fukuda meant Vince Russo and he wanted the return of WCW and Monday Nitro. Fukuda meant he wanted to run his own brand in Shin-Kiba and turn it into an American wrestling territory. He wants to call it United Superstars Action, USA for shot. Amon actually liked the idea and told Fukuda it can happen in the spring. Fukuda is already taking match suggestions on Twitter. One request was Antonio Honda Vs Jerry Lawler. Fukuda replied he will save that match for when he books Madison Square Garden.

Shigehiro Irie has signed a contract with DDT and is now an official full time DDT wrestler. Irie noted his humble beginnings wrestling in Nagoya leading him into DDT. Tsurumi Amon gave Irie his first order as a DDT employee, name every season in English. Irie could only knew Summer. Amon told him to do his best in the future.

There is another trainee coming into DDT. So far the name for this person I can find is T. Koda. The person was joined in the ring by the Tokyo Women’s Wrestling trainees during the announcement. Referee Daisuke Kiso was chosen to be Chikage Kiba’s opponent for the Sambo Exhibition on TWW’s preview event in Akihabara on 30/1.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when HARASHIMA pinned Omega with the Somato (20:02).
*V1 for Ura-Shima.

Looks like Kenny Omega’s chance to become a DDT Triple Crown holder is not going to happen anytime soon. The KO-D Openweight Champion was pinned by HARASHIMA which will certainly give him a KO-D Title shot in the future. Yasu Urano admitted he was terribly worried about defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against the Golden Lovers but with this win he can confidently say he and HARASHIMA are the strongest team ever in DDT! HARASHIMA said they will defend the belt many more times.

*Kota Ibushi fails in V3. El Generico becomes the 43rd KO-D Openweight Champion!

El Generico has been a force to be reckoned with ever since he came to Union and DDT. Now he has defeated their biggest star to win their top championship. Kota Ibushi wanted to face Generico again to avenge his defeat to the Generic Luchador back in May of this year. Ibushi even said he needed to win at any cost. Generico was the same, blocking a Top Rope Reverse Huracanrana and turning that into the deadly Brainbuster onto the top turnbuckle to end Ibushi’s reign as champion. After the match Generico said winning the title is an incredible feeling and he thanked Ibushi, calling him the best wrestler in the world. Generico promised that if he wins the DDT48 General Election, he will nominate Ibushi to get the vacant prize title shot. Generico said DDT welcomed him with an open heart, that Japan is No. 1 and the KO-D Title is the No. 1 championship in Japan.

Meanwhile Kenny Omega was spotted watching the match with great interest from a corner in the hall.

The new veteran unit now has a name. When Yasu Urano, HARASHIMA & KUDO combine, they become Ura-Shima-Kudo! During their match with Team Dream Futures, HARASHIMA fought in a furious manner that caught the Drift wrestlers off guard. Drift were not happy with the loss and threw out challenges for singles matches.

Kenny Omega said he was surprised by Konosuke Takeshita’s performance in their match, but his next real challenge has yet to come. Omega will return to All Japan for a match against Hiroshi Yamato for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title on 7th October.

Shuji Ishikawa complained about having a sore shoulder and had to be convinced by Poison Sawada JULIE to wrestle for him as Client Snake. And by convinced I mean brainwashed. After their defeat to Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI, Takagi credited Sawada as being the driving force behind pro wrestling’s fantasy world in Japan. Sawada said he has no more regrets because he has lived in the fantasy world.

Danshoku Dino Vs Makoto Oishi was said to have been weird. Before the match took place, Yukinori Matsui approached both wrestlers to say he didn’t want to see any of the usual gay antics or else referee Daisuke Kiso would stop the match. Unfortunately for Kiso, there came a moment in the match where he got knocked out. With the ref down, Dino grabbed a futon from underneath the ring and forced Oishi to go under it with him. Matsui tried to enter ringside to stop the match but Tsurumi Amon prevented him from doing so with a kiss. Kiso recovered in time to witness the debauchery and stopped the match.

Yuji Hino left his partners high and dry to rejoin the wrestlers from Los Calientes and reform the Monster Army. They said that this is the best line up of the Monster Army and they can change the world.

The boxing match between Michael Nakazawa and Gota Ihashi ended in a draw. Since the winner was supposed to become the leader of a new stable with Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega, it was up to them to decide who should get it. They chose Ihashi. However, Tsurumi Amon wasn’t convinced that Ihashi deserved to be leader. He also didn’t think Ibushi or Omega deserved to be the leader. Then from out of nowhere Ibushi suggested Yumehito Imanari, a part time wrestler and filmmaker who is in charge of the Danshoku Ranch CLASSIC documentary series produced by DDT. Amon approved of the choice and Imanari has been made leader of the new unit.

Dramatic Fantasia will return to Samurai! TV beginning on 11th October.
