DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023 TOUR IN YAMAGATA” Results

August 6, 2023

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023 TOUR IN YAMAGATA”, 06/08/2023
Yamagata Big Wing
160 Fans

1. Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:18).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Yuji Hino & Rukiya when Sasaki submitted Rukiya with the Crossface Lock (10:15).
3. Yamagata Specialty Special Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Keisuke Goto defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Goto pinned Ishida with the Jackhammer (13:44).
4. No Tag Rules: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Akito & Makoto Oishi when Iino pinned Akito with a Cradle (10:35).
5. Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima defeated HARASHIMA, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when MAO pinned Koroku with the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II (14:49).
6. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Jun Akiyama defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Irie pinned Masada with the Beast Bomber (17:21).

It’s been several years since Shigehiro Irie left DDT to become a freelancer but he has his eyes on the KO-D Openweight Title and perhaps even more. After today’s main event he said the next time he returns to Yamagata he will be the KO-D Champion. He might also be the KO-D Tag Team Champion with Jun Akiyama if he wants to go that direction.

According to MAO, Yamagata is where he and Toy Kojima both got their driver’s licenses. Don’t know why he felt the need to include that information in his victory speech but whatever gets you over with the locals, I guess.

The first match of the show was actually the Pheromones match but it was quickly called off when Danshoku Dieno started to bleed uncontrollably from his nose. A medical check suspected that Dieno’s nose was broken so he was brought to the back and the show moved on to the next match. Dieno was eventually cleared to continue and the bout restarted as Match #4. After Pheromones won, Dieno said he will always stand in the ring no matter what happens to him. He also invited fans to get the rare opporunity of having their items autographed by a wrestler with a broken nose.

After DAMNATION T.A won their match, Daisuke Sasaki attacked Makoto Oishi. That caused Yuji Hino to grab him and attempt the Fuckin’ BOMB but KANON saved Sasaki and the two of them made their escape. Backstage Hino said the KO-D Tag Titles do not look good on Sasaki & MJ Paul. He thinks they will look better on Ω.

Yukio Sakaguchi was such an intimidating presence in front of Kazuki Hirata he scared him over to a nearby table at ringside and left him immobilised while Hideki Okatani pinned Kazuma Sumi. Sakaguchi then grabbed the DDT Extreme Title and held it away from Hirata but Hirata was able to grab it back before running away.

The summer is nearing its end and so too is this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Four women are left standing and two of those will be next to fall. Miyu Yamashita is trying to win the tournament for the first time after a decade of trying, Yuki Arai is benefitting from adding Saki Akai’s Rookie Award finisher to her moveset, Rika Tatsumi is in the middle of one hell of a run and Yuki Kamifuku is showing everyone just how successful she can be when she puts her mind to it.

Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu are the two women teaming together to fight NEO Biishiki-gun.

Match #4 is made up of the four women who were knocked out in the Quarter Finals.

The 6-Woman Tag Match in Match #2 is entirely made up of the 2023 class.

DDT “SAKI AKAI 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN KORAKUEN!!”, 13/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya
1. Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Yusuke Okada Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Takeshi Masada

7. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 2 ~ Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Saki Akai, Maya Yukihi & Asuka Vs Takumi Iroha, Rina Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

Akai’s next 10th Anniversary match will feature her teaming with Maya Yukihi & Asuka. They were two of her recent big opponents here in DDT. Their opponents all debuted in 2013, the same year as Akai. Takumi Iroha & Rina Yamashita were already announced and this past weekend Shoko Nakajima was revealed to be the third woman on the team.

Hirata found a way to beat HARASHIMA. He’s also beaten Sakaguchi once before but as Extreme Champion he will come up with any stipulation that will tip the scales in his favour. Otherwise Sakaguchi is going to kill him and take his title!

Makoto Oishi has convinced Yuji Hino to go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles with him. Maybe Hino would be better off teaming with Yukio Naya for the match but Oishi being such a caring father for his children convinced Hino to stick with him.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 1”, 16/08/2023
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. The Scariest Event In History! Ghost Story New Numabukuro Death Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Saki Akai Vs Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani Vs Kazuma Sumi (Ghost Story Reading Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi)

The Fighting Beer Garden shows now has a craft beer sponsor.

DDT “SOMA TAKAO LOCAL TRIUPMH! MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023 TOUR IN OTA-KU”, 19/08/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Industrial Plaza PiO Small Exhibition Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata
2. Jun Akiyama, Saki Akai & Antonio Honda Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima

The recent actions of Konosuke Takeshita has fired up the rivalry between DAMNATION T.A and The 37KAMIINA. The one here is a rematch from the end of June when Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul beat Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima to win the vacant tag titles.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2023”, 20/08/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Tsutenkakka Vs Akito & Kazuma Sumi
2. BURNING Vs Harimao!: Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Shigehiro Irie & HARASHIMA
4. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno
5. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Yoshitatsu & Toy Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Hideki Okatani & Soma Takao

Sasaki has a few singles matches against different members of The 37KAMIINA this month. Yuki Ueno keeps being told by Takeshita to follow his lead and Sasaki has become a big supporter of that idea.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023”, 27/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 3 ~ Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Saki Akai
2. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs MAO
3. HARASHIMA Debut 22nd Anniversary Match: HARASHIMA Vs X

Sasaki also has to face MAO. He might start regretting taking Takeshita’s side in the matter just because of how much extra ring work it’s giving him.

Akai asked Danshoku Dieno for a singles match to call back memories of the Extreme Title bout from 2016. Their match back then featured a stipulation that nobody was allowed to cry or else they would lose. It was a match that Akai learned a lot and still thinks about after all this time. Dieno understands how much it means to her and will not be using his “Dandy” persona for that reason.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN IZUKOGEN GRANILLUMI”, 02/09/2023
Shizuoka Izu Granpal Park

1. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Saki Akai Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima (w/ Shunma Katsumata) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Shinya Aoki & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & X

A lot of people are gathering together to wrestle among the bright lights of Izu Granpal Park. Not only is Shinya Aoki showing up but Pheromones will be joined by a mystery wrestler.

DDT “DDT BIG BANG 2023”, 09/09/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Pheromones Vs Subjugation Final Match! Special Single Match ~ Dissolution Contra Vice President: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (w/ Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno) Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Ram Kaichow
3. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
4. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Yoshi Tatsu & Toy Kojima Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Sick of his demands being ignored, Atsushi Onita took it upon himself last week to crash a training session at the DDT dojo and confront Jun Akiyama. Apparently Onita got in touch with Kojima and demanded to find out when Akiyama was in the building. Kojima told him but didn’t actually expect he would show up. Onita told Akiyama the names of many famous wrestlers who fought him in Explosion Death Matches then asked why is he the only person who refuses to take part? Onita also reminded Sanshiro Takagi he was promised this match would happen. Akiyama accepted the challenge and both sides decided their teams. Onita will team with Yoshi Tatsu & Toy Kojima while Akiyama & Takagi will add Yusuke Okada to their team.

Is the team of Ueno & MAO enough to beat Takeshita & Sasaki? We’re heading into dangerous territory here as tensions raise higher and higher.

If Eruption are still the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions coming out of their All Japan appearance at the end of this month then their match against Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Ram Kaichow will be a title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs X & X

This will be the final time Reiwa AA Cannon will team together, just two months before Akai retires.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2023”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita Vs X

Minoru Suzuki will be on the show. This is happening the same day as the Bullet Train match with Takagi by the way. How else were they making it to Nagoya?

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 19/09/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Exhibition: Masahiro Takanashi Vs KUDO
2. Yukio Sakaguchi, Isami Kodaka & Ken Ohka Vs MAO, Daiki Shimomura & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Mei Suruga Vs Minoru Suzuki
4. Chris Brookes Vs Masahiro Takanashi

No way was KUDO going to miss Masahiro Takanashi’s big show. He isn’t in ring shape to do a full wrestling match so Takanashi decided KUDO will face him in a 5 minute exhibition instead.

Saki Akai will also be on the show.

TJPW PPV Location, Lighting The Fuse For Big Bang 2023, Is GanJo Just Ice Ribbon In Disguise?

July 26, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW MIDSUMMER ATHLETIC AMUSEMENT PARK PRO WRESTLING”, 27/07/2023
Lake Sagami Pleasure Forest

1. Red Team Vs White Team: X Vs X

Contestants: Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta, Hikari Noa, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami and Yuki Arai.

The video description on Wrestle Universe reveals that the PPV was recorded at Lake Sagami Pleasure Forest in Kanagawa. The team challenge is described as a “Best-Of-Five Showdown”.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023 TOUR IN YAMAGATA”, 06/08/2023
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Makoto Oishi
2. Yamagata Specialty Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya & Keisuke Goto
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Shigehiro Irie & Jun Akiyama

A few warm up matches for the big programs ahead. Chris Brookes and Shigehiro Irie have their first preview tag match. Brookes teams with his buddy Takeshi Masada while Irie gets to team with Jun Akiyama again.

Akito gets into his latest battle with Pheromones on the road to their final conflict. Poor Makoto Oishi now finds himself here after spending the last month getting to be in main events.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi & Kaho Matsushita Vs Yappy & Tsukina Umino
2. Miyako Matsumoto Vs Banny Oikawa
3. Sumire Natsu & Riara Vs Maya Yukihi & Alex Lee
4. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) Vs Ami Manase

On the last show Riara formed a new bond with Sumire Natsu and asked if they could team up. Natsu’s answer at the time was non-committal but as we can see here it’s going to happen after all. Their match has another NOMADS’ connection because Maya Yukihi is one of the opponents. Alex Lee takes the last spot in the match.

If Miyako Matsumoto is capable of bringing Banny Oikawa back to pro wrestling she is capable of getting rid of her too. Just a warning if she gets any crazy ideas.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021 TOUR IN YAMAGATA” Results

October 3, 2021

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021 TOUR IN YAMAGATA”, 03/10/2021
Yamagata Big Wing
155 Fans

1. 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Antonio Honda and Kazuki Hirata when Ueno pinned Honda and Hirata with a Double Crucifix Pin (11:15).
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Soma Takao & Gorgeous Matsuno when Iino pinned Matsuno with the Pheromone Clutch (11:55).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Toru Owashi defeated Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki submitted Okatani with the Crossface Lock (10:41).
4. Chris Brookes, Kazusada Higuchi & Keisuke Goto defeated Yuji Hino, Akito & Yuya Koroku when Goto pinned Koroku with the Jackhammer (16:04).
5. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Tetsuya Endo & Keigo Nakamura when Okada pinned Nakamura with the Sudden Death (13:40).
6. Yamagata Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Hiroshi Yamato when Katsumata pinned Yoshimura with the Firebird Splash (18:37).

The MADMAX followed by the Firebire Splash gave Shunma Katsumata a vital pinfall over Naomi Yoshimura in the build up to the next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Afterwards Katsumata said his bond with Konosuke Takeshita means he is not afraid of HARASHIMA & Yoshimura.

Keigo Nakamura found himself being targeted by Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada. Now Tetsuya Endo was there to preview his D-Ou Grand Prix bout with Akiyama but Akiyama’s focus changed back to Nakamura. When Junretsu won the match, Okada held up Nakamura’s KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Title belt and promised to win it on 12th October.

Gorgeous Matsuno, who is celebrating his 20th anniversary this year, promised to hold a DDT show in Fukushima next year.

It’s a fresh start and a new attitude for Daisuke Sasaki. He is now a babyface! Toru Owashi explained to the fans that Sasaki has done many bad things all across Japan. Starting today he will do what he can to change everybody’s minds about him. Sasaki tried to cut a promo but Owashi slapped him because it sounded too intimidating. Owashi then spent the match watching over Sasaki’s actions to make sure he was acting like the babyface he is now supposed to be. It was clumsy at times but Sasaki won the match clean in the end. After the match Sasaki asked DDT to find him an opponent to defend the DDT Universal Title against.

The Pheromone Clutch Yuki Iino used is similar to the Delfin Clutch, but with a sexy muscle pose. The move is a pin hold and Iino did get a three count but Matsuno may have given up while he was in it. Either way the move turned out to be effective.

Unfortunately Minoru Fujita’s illness is not getting any better. He is currently in hospital and there is no timeframe for his recovery yet. His DDT Universal Title match with Daisuke Sasaki has been cancelled and a replacement match is currently being planned. DDT is hoping to do a singles match between Sasaki and Fujita in the future when Fujita is healed and able to wrestle again.

The remnants of DAMNATION are now spreading out across DDT looking for new pairings and fresh matchups. I don’t see Mad Paulie anywhere though. Has he been set free to go live in the wild?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”, 09/10/2021
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
2. Hyper Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma

A press conference was held for Riho, Shoko Nakajima, Suzume and Arisu Endo to talk about their match. The Twin Cam Monsters are looking forward to teaming together again and to do so in a big venue. Suzume faced against that team in her debut match back in 2019. She has gotten a lot of experience since then but understands it is nothing compared to the experience levels Riho & Nakajima are at. Suzume was also the opponent for Endo’s debut match so she thinks they have the chemistry to make a good team. Nakajima doesn’t expect to lose but predicts Suzume & Endo can overtake the Twin Cam Monsters in the future. Riho also said she is looking forward to the main event because she hasn’t seen Maki Itoh since they wrestled each other in AEW.

Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka have named their team VENYU.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021”, 12/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Saki Akai Vs Riko Kawahata
1. Yuki Ishida Debut Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ishida
2. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Yoshiaki Yatsu, Akito, Hiroshi Yamato & Keigo Nakamura (c) Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani
3. DDT Extreme Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yumiko Hotta
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura
5. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Minoru Fujita

What is next for Daisuke Sasaki? His unit is gone, he declined to enter the D-Ou Grand Prix and he has a DDT Universal Title defence coming up. Apparently he has something up his sleeve. It might just be more drink and depression though.

After an emotional weekend, Konosuke Takeshita wants to see a bright future while he holds both the KO-D Openweight Title and KO-D Tag Team Titles. His motivations for defending the KO-D Title on his own is different from defending the KO-D Tag Titles with Shunma Katsumata. He wants to pursue many different possibilities while being a double champion.

Yumiko Hotta pinned Shinya Aoki with the help of a steel chain during yesterday’s pre-show match. She challenged him for the DDT Extreme Title afterwards. Aoki wanted the match to take place at a RIZIN show because they both fought there in the past. They have to settle for DDT instead.

Hotta’s disciple Riko Kawahata approached Sanshiro Takagi asking to wrestle on a DDT show. Hotta was displeased to see her student go out of line this way but Takagi decided to give her a chance. After watching footage of Kawahata in action, Takagi thinks she has great potential so he is booking her to fight Saki Akai. Hotta had a change of heart after Takagi explained that Kawahata’s behavior is very All Japan Women’s like. She understands his point and is now supporting Kawahata’s decision to enter DDT. Takagi is hoping for the match to be successful in order to promote more joshi matches in DDT.

DDT has decided to rename the Under Match to the Dark Match. They originally started calling the pre-show bouts the Dark Match but at some point switched to Under Match for reasons nobody can remember. So they’re going back to calling it the Dark Match.

DDT “DDTEEEEN!!”, 27/10/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Vent Vert Jack Vs You-sei☆Estrella
2. El Unicorn Vs Ilusion

The youngster project now called DDTeeeen!! holds its first show with all four students taking part. El Unicorn and Ilusion are quickly establishing a rivalry together but the other two wrestlers are also familiar with each other. Vent Vert Jack and You-sei☆Estrella are both 16 years old and are from the MY WAY promotion in Kyushu. Jack is 16cm tall, weighs 61kg and once held the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at 9 years old. Estrella is 173cm tall, weighs 66kg and is a month younger than Jack. They both had their debut match against each other in 2012.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN OTA-KU”, 03/11/2021
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Yukio Naya
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Decision Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yusuke Okada & X
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: HARASHIMA Vs Kazusada Higuchi
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno

The opening day matches of the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II have been announced. Takeshita meets Yuji Okabayashi for the first time since he won the KO-D Tag Titles from him. Since he is entering the tournament as the champion, Takeshita wants to fight every match as if it is a title match. That means he cannot stand to lose even one match.

I’ll have a proper D-Ou Grand Prix post written up when the full schedule is revealed.

The ultimate fate of DDT is possibly on the line if Pheromones win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Their lewd antics could get DDT into so much trouble it could spell the end of the company if they are not stopped! It’s up to Sanshiro Takagi, Yusuke Okada and a third person to save the day. If they lose then Takagi cannot order Pheromones to stop their bad behavior.

Naomi Yoshimura takes his place in Masahiro Takanashi’s return match.

2. Yamagata Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Hiroshi Yamato

Keisuke Goto and Gorgeous Matsuno will be on the show. Goto has the distinction of being the first male wrestler to debut under Pro Wrestling WAVE affiliation but he has been freelancing since 2019.

Back in August, Toru Owashi invited Yasushi Kanda from DRAGONGATE to be a guest at DDT’s next show in Nagano. Kanda is not from Nagano but Owashi still thinks he will be a draw for the local fans.

El Unicorn and Ilusion will be on the show.

2. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs X & X
3. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs League Winner

Owashi gets his chance to take back what he thinks belongs to him. He has history with the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles and so do his tag partners for the match. Owashi held the titles 3 times, Shuji Kondo is a five time champion and Takuya Sugawara had it twice. It’s an Aagan Iisou reunion!

Takuya Nomura is guaranteed to be wrestling on the show even if he loses the IRON FIST Tag Titles at Big Japan before then.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON~” Results

May 4, 2019

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON~”, 04/05/2019
Yamagata Big Wing
240 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Mike Bailey & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Mike Rollins & Ricky Starks when Bailey pinned Starks with the Green Tea Plunge (10:58).
2. Akito & Yuki Iino defeated Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Akito submitted Shimatani with a Modified Anklelock (9:07).
3. Song! Song! Black Pig! 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Yamato defeated Toru Owashi and Gorgeous Matsuno when Yamato pinned Matsuno with an Inside Cradle (9:21).
4. Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase when Sakaguchi pinned Watase with the God’s Right Knee (10:33).
5. Sanshiro Takagi Marunage Match ~ Lucha Libre Classica Rules: Masahiro Takanashi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Palo Special (11:01).
6. Return To The Site Of Happy Motel’s Formation For The First Time In 3 Years!: Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda defeated MAO & Yuki Ueno when Honda pinned Ueno with the Diving Fist Drop (13:37).
7. You And Me Yellow Cherries Next Door! Yamagata Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki submitted Oishi with the Cross Facelock (17:22).

Daisuke Sasaki told the audience that he hasn’t gone out of the house much during Golden Week this year so he’s had plenty of spare time on his hands. Tetsuya Endo said there are two kinds of people in the world, a superstar from Shiroishi like himself and other countrymen.

Konosuke Takeshita used the Gongitsune eye pokes from the ring apron to blind Yuki Ueno and put him in position for the Fable. Antonio Honda followed up with the Diving Fist Drop to win the match for the reunited Happy Motels duo. Five years have passed since that day the unit was formed. Honda thanked everyone for seeing him and Takeshita together again today.

Liberties were taken to turn the ring from a squared circle to a hexagon for the T2P tribute match. Tiger ropes were applied in two opposite corners of the ring to cut off the turnbuckles and vaguely create the two extra sides needed to make a hexagon ring. As part of the match rules, Masahiro Takanashi and Kazuki Hirata were penalised points for every rope break they made. Takanashi won when he set Hirata up for the Takatonic but instead turned it into the Palo Special for the submission. Takanashi left the match wondering why Sanshiro Takagi wasn’t present in the ring when it was supposed to be his Marunage match.

7. Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Mike Bailey & MAO

With Hikaru Shida completing the team, Saki Akai is now ready to challenge the Sendai Girls. Shida wrestles in Sendai Girls herself so she is very familiar with Meiko Satomura, Chihiro Hashimoto & DASH Chisako. The one who wants to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles the most is Asuka because she wants to wear the title belts like an accessory. The way the team is laid out has Akai as the leader, Asuka as the sub-leader and Shida as the “New Member”.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASAKI DARUMA~”, 12/05/2019

Due to what happened between Sakaguchi and Tetsuya Endo yesterday (explained down at the bottom), they are getting paired together until the next KO-D Openweight Title match takes place.

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2019 THE FINAL!!”, 19/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT 2019 – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. King Of DDT 2019 – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. King Of DDT 2019 – Final: X Vs X

The official news update for this show is Maku Donaruto will be there! The unofficial news is Keisuke Ishii wants to cash in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet on this show so he can face Endo for the KO-D Title. Due to the new rules that are meant to encourage surprise cash ins, DDT is currently in a position where they cannot promote Endo Vs Ishii for now and have to act like it won’t be happening.

DDT “GOLDEN DDT THEATER 2019”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Akito

Something that Antonio Honda and Akito have in common is they both think their biggest career highlight involved the DDT Extreme Title. So it’s fitting the two will fight over it.

DDT “WRESTLE MATSUYAMANIA 2019”, 02/06/2019
Ehime World Trade Center

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata & Maku Donaruto
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

During a press conference yesterday Endo was supposed to select one of the seven losers in the King Of DDT 1st Round to defend the KO-D Title against. However he struggled to remember any of the wrestlers he could choose from. Hisaya Imabayashi listed the names and Endo commented after each one. Kota Umeda? He’s the guy who always hurts his knees. MAO? He’s a fucked up bad guy. Mike Bailey? He’s that guy who can’t do anything without MAO. HARASHIMA? Endo hates him. Kazuki Hirata? Endo would choose him but Hirata is already wrestling for a championship at the show. Yuki Ueno? He was thrown away by his friend. Yukio Sakaguchi? Beaten by Daisuke Sasaki and he won’t stop crying about it.

What Endo didn’t realise was that Sakaguchi was in the building and overheard Endo’s comments. He crashed the press conference and attacked Endo, beating him down! Sakaguchi used Endo’s “Two types of people in the world” motto against him and said he is now on his kill list! When Sakaguchi stormed out of the room, Endo demanded that he be his opponent for the KO-D Title match! This won’t be a pro wrestling match, Endo says he will kill Sakaguchi!
