8. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The Tag Team Titles will be fought over by two pairs of brothers from other mothers. Ken Ohka & KAI aren’t the first wrestlers from separate promotions to bond together in DDT. HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto have been good buddies for a while and have teamed together at the last New Year’s Eve show.

Soma Takao is still undefeated at “PETER PAN” with a 7-0 record on the show. He can make it 8-0 and win the AJPW Jr. Title too if he beats Hikaru Sato.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is scheduled to return home next month. However its current trip around the world might make a return difficult. DDT is limited by who they can bring in for the Battle Royal. It is impossible for them to bring in any of the wrestlers who recently won the title overseas.

Super Sasadango Machine is now managing NωA and handling their efforts to enter the music industry. He organised a match against other wrestlers who have or had some sort of music career away from wrestling.

Iron Man Update, MC.33 Coming To BASARA, Ganbare Prepares For Korakuen

July 13, 2016

Time for an update on the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title’s tour of America. When we last left the belt it was being held by Ricochet, you know the guy from that gif? No, not the English fella the other one. Yeah him. Since then the title lineage went like this: Brian Metz, Matt Striker, Cheerleader Melissa (by massage), Matt Cross (via too much food), Brian Cage, Joey Ryan, Laura James (as burlesque luchadora Alacrana Plata #2), Buggy Nova (in a proper wrestling match!), Ryan again (not in a proper wrestling match), Scarlett Bordeaux, Rhyno (traded an autograph for the title) and now Robbie E (his win counts as a Ladder Match). Last one is interesting because it’s a TNA guy beating someone who just appeared on an NXT broadcast. So yeah, this championship of all things is now providing the inter-promotional competition some fans have craved for years.

4. Yukihiro Abe Tomodachi-gun Graduation Test: Minoru Fujita Vs Yukihiro Abe
5. Ganpuro Hardcore Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Ai Shimizu Vs Yumehito Imanari & Bambi

Ken Ohka is continuing his hard work to make Ganbare☆Wrestling’s Korakuen Hall debut a success. Ideas include different seating layouts including a reserved seat placed inside the ring for the entire show. Ohka was told this was done recently by Kuishinbo Kamen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING but he is not deterred by that. Ohka has hundreds of ideas like having chairs placed in the arena balconies. He thinks they can fill thousands more people that way.

It seems that Yumehito Imanari and Bambi have sorted out their problems and are willing to team together. Imanari is thrilled by this news. This Hardcore match is put together to show Osaka what Ganpuro is all about. Each wrestler will have a weapon with them for the match. Bambi has her whip and Imanari is bringing a lot of candy.

5. Is He A True Friend?: Ken Ohka Vs Minoru Fujita

Ohka stormed a Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya earlier this week requesting Emi Sakura to wrestle for Ganpuro in August. Sakura was offended by Ohka’s attitude and turned down the offer. However Sayaka Obihiro took up the offer instead. Ohka wants to make sure Obihiro will be a good enough replacement by putting her in a tryout match at the end of the month.

Mitomi Masayuki is becoming obsessed over Mars Spector. He wants to avenge Shibata’s loss to Spector and is determined to fight him again and again and again until he wins. His stablemate Rainbow Kawamura offered to help. An enemy of Enjo-gun is his enemy too.

BASARA “VAJRA 11 ~PERRY EXPEDITION~” Results

May 29, 2016

sekine-ryusetsu

BASARA “VAJRA 11 ~PERRY EXPEDITION~”, 28/05/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
197 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hi69 & Daichi Kazato defeated Kazuhiro Tamura & Daisuke Kanehira when Kazato pinned Kanehira with the Explosive Axe Bomber (13:29).
2. Atsushi Maruyama Den 2016 ~Black Ships And The Sword~: Eddie French defeated Atsushi Maruyama and Joey Ryan when French submitted Maruyama with a Tree Of Woe (7:48).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Koji Iwamoto defeated FUMA & Madoka when Tsukamoto pinned FUMA with a School Boy (11:33).
4. Abdullah Kobayashi & Takayuki Ueki defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT when Kobayashi pinned SAGAT with the Bakachinga Elbow (11:20).
5. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ A Block: Yusuke Kubo (2) defeated Ryota Nakatsu (4) with the Wrist Clutch Goro Suplex (15:18).
6. Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ A Block: Ryuichi Sekine (4) defeated Isami Kodaka (4) with the Ryusetsu (20:03).

Block A Standings

1. Isami Kodaka (4)
-. Ryota Nakatsu (4)
-. Ryuichi Sekine (4)
4. Yusuke Kubo (2)
-. SAGAT (0)

Block B Standings

1. FUMA (4)
-. Daichi Kazato (4)
-. Takumi Tsukamoto (4)
4. Hiroshi Fukuda (2)
-. Ryu Gouma (0)

Ryuichi Sekine scored a big victory over Isami Kodaka in their Heaven Summit A Block match. The win halts Kodaka’s win streak and ties both of them with Ryota Nakatsu at the top of the block. Nakatsu’s progress was also stopped when he lost to Yusuke Kubo. This was Yusuke Kubo’s first win of the tournament.

Before Match #4 began the normally beastly SAGAT clearly and politely said he was honoured to wrestle against Abdullah Kobayashi & Takayuki Ueki. Hiroshi Fukuda “translated” that speech and turned it into SAGAT calling them sex crazy low lifes that he will destroy with the SAGAT Torpedo. Ueki had his own Torpedo move to counter SAGAT and the two collided when their partners Dropkicked them into each other. Ueki missed a Diving Headbutt by miles but Kobayashi got the win anyway.

FUMA complained that he kicked out at two when Takumi Tsukamoto pinned him in Match #3. FUMA then blamed the defeat on him still recovering from Manowar’s announcement that they were breaking up. He reminded himself that Manowar’s bass player Joey DeMaio once said “Death to false Metal!” FUMA called Tsukamoto false Metal and they began fighting until they were pulled apart. Tsukamoto told FUMA to get ready for their Heaven Summit match on 10th June.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA 1:00 SET” Results

May 28, 2016

yamashita-sakazaki-crash

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA 1:00 SET”, 28/05/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
210 Fans – No Vacancy

1. KANNA defeated Azusa Takigawa with the 50$ent (7:22).
2. Nonoko defeated Marika Kobashi with the Dragon Sleepai (6:26).
3. Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka-oneesan with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:06).
4. 3 Way Match: Yuu defeated Akane Miura and Hyper Misao when Yuu submitted Misao with the Cross Armbreaker (8:19).
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Yuka Sakazaki with a Cradle (15:19).
*V2 for Miyu Yamashita.

In her second TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title defence Miyu Yamashita went up against Yuka Sakazaki. The challenger has been riding a wave of momentum heading into the match thanks to her Osaekomi Backslide. This time Yamashita had the move scouted and countered it with a Buzzsaw Kick. With that risk removed Yamashita was able to beat Sakazaki. Yamashita says she wants to fight more strong challengers so she can grow as the champion.

Hyper Misao described the 3 Way Match as a Hero Introductory Test for both Akane Miura and Yuu. She was hoping to find an “ally of justice” and declined to take part because she should not lay her super powered hands on members of the general public. It turned out to be a trick and she tried to get involved only to get knocked aside by her opponents.

The day before this show took place Erin announced she was resigning from Tokyo Joshi Pro. She has been regularly kept out of action with a foot injury. An early return from the first injury only made things worse for her. Another setback happened recently which was when she decided to quit. Erin feels heartbroken over the decision but realises that she is unable to continue wrestling. She thanked the fans for supporting her in the last two years and apologised that it had to end this way.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SPRING~” Results

April 29, 2016

sasaki-mad-polly

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SPRING~”, 29/04/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
400 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. King Of Dark Title: Rekka defeated Gota Ihashi (c) with a Jumping Cross Armbreaker (5:08).
*D1 for Gota Ihashi.
1. KENSO, Hiroshi Fukuda & Eddie French defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Guanchulo when Fukuda submitted Hirata with a Crab Hold (12:04).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Makoto Oishi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Owashi pinned both Oishi and Matsunaga with a Double School Boy (5:01).
3. Team Drift Goodbye Series: Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Ohka pinned Ishii with the Spear Of Flame (12:40).
4. Shunma Katsumata & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Mao Inoue when Iwasaki pinned Inoue with the Leg Capture Suplex (14:32).
5. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Urano pinned Honda with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:58).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Polly defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Polly pinned Takanashi with the Reverse Splash (11:48).

Daisuke Sasaki introduced everyone to his brand new pet and it is big and mean. His name is Mad Polly, he is 180cm tall and weighs 140kg. With Demolition style facepaint and a costume that reminds me of Bam Bam Bigelow, Polly was ordered to go after Yukio Sakaguchi. Polly withstood Sakaguchi’s kicks and threw him over with a German Suplex. Masa Takanashi tried to help Sakaguchi in taking down the newcomer but they were both taken down with a Lariat. Polly Choke Slammed Takanashi and then pinned him with a Vader style Reverse Splash. Sasaki added insult to injury by giving Sakaguchi the Vietnam Driver II. Sasaki then introduced his “cute” new pet to the crowd and called himself the charismatic double champion.

The semi-main event was vital for both teams to win. Both Smile Squash and Happy Motels were involved in bid defeats to Daisuke Sasaki at “MAX BUMP 2016”. HARASHIMA lost his KO-D Openweight Title to Sasaki and the New Gen Combo failed to regain the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa. Also Akito & Yasu Urano came out of the show as the next challengers for the tag titles. Antonio Honda gave a long speech to his teammates about training their soul, using dumbbells and producing tremendous nose hair in the process. The motivating talk didn’t work and Smile Squash came out of the match as the winners. Honda took the blame for the loss.

Ken Ohka eagerly wished Team Drift the best of luck in their futures. Each of the Drift wrestlers were a little put off by Ohka excitedly shaking their hands after the match. But it also gave them enough encouragement to challenge Team DNA to a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match on the 15th May Nagoya show. They want to win the titles and disband as champions. Kouki Iwasaki accepted the challenge because he wants DNA to beat the best teams in DDT even if they are about to split up.

Both Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Makoto Oishi are on the hunt for a Right To Challenge Contract. They both had an opportunity to win one from Toru Owashi. Owashi’s contract arm band was ripped off and thrown over to Amon Tsurumi. Both Matsunaga and Oishi chased after Tsurumi but got a Double Lariat for their troubles. Later in the match Owashi capitalised on his opponents’ infighting by pinning both of them at the same time.

Hiroshi Fukuda tricked Kazuki Hirata into dancing when he sang “You Are More Beautiful Than Roses” into the microphone. He then rolled over Hirata into a Crab Hold during the dance. After that match KENSO confronted Sanshiro Takagi again about joining DDT full time. He said would have attended “MAX BUMP 2016” last week but his wife Hiroko Suzuki had a Funabashi City Council meeting that day. KENSO then brought up the King Of DDT tournament and requested entry into the tournament. Takagi refused but Amon Tsurumi offered KENSO an opportunity. KENSO will have a match in Nagoya on 15th May to determine if he deserves to enter King Of DDT.

DDT will be heading to Nagano in June and the management think it could be the start of something good. They decided to set up a sales manager position for the Nagano region. Toru Owashi volunteered to take the position. He was given 30,000 yen for operating expenses and is tasked in making the first Nagano show a success.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOP! STEP! YOKOHAMA, JUMP!” Results

April 29, 2016

sakazaki-osaekomi

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOP! STEP! YOKOHAMA, JUMP!”, 29/04/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
194 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Nodoka-oneesan defeated Azusa Takigawa with a Back Flip (5:46).
2. Hyper Masao defeated Marika Kobashi with a Rope Assisted School Boy (8:20).
3. Yuu defeated Nonoko with the Cross Armbreaker (5:01).
4. Akane Miura defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Lariat (7:22).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miyu Yamashita & KANNA when Sakazaki pinned Yamashita with the Osaekomi Backslide (11:15).

The Osaekomi Backslide is quickly becoming an unbeatable finishing move for Yuka Sakazaki. She’s now pinned the Princess Champion with it! Sakazako countered Miyu Yamashita’s German Suplex into a Samson Clutch and then turned that into the Backslide for the win. Sakazaki challenged Yamashita to a title match. Yamashita agreed and the match is set for the next Yokohama show on 28th May.

Yuu’s unbeaten streak has taken it’s biggest victory yet when the rookie submitted Nonoko. Yuu countered the Boinemaker into a Cross Armbreaker for the victory. With a win over a Tokyo Princess Cup winner in the bag Yuu is hoping to fight more of the senior Tokyo Joshi wrestlers.

Before the opening match began Nodoka-oneesan wanted to dance to the song “Ping-Pong Pan Taisou”. Azusa Takigawa said dancing is exhausting so she wouldn’t allow it. She told Nodoka her dancing was why she hadn’t won a match yet. Nodoka proved her wrong and earned her first ever victory when she pinned Takigawa with the Back Flip.

Daisuke Sasaki’s New Pet, Team Drift Goodbye Series, Heaven Summit Begins

April 26, 2016

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SPRING~”, 29/04/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Rekka

6. Daisuke Sasaki & Daisuke Sasaki’s New Pet Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

The new KO-D Openweight Champion has a busy schedule ahead of him. Daisuke Sasaki now has two championships to defend and his “pet” Shuji Ishikawa won’t be there to protect him all the time. To remedy this Sasaki got himself a second “pet” to guard him from the other Right To Challenge Contract holders. All Sasaki has said about his new pet is it’s cute and he thinks it’s male. He’s unsure if he will obtain any more pets after this one because he’s running out of space in his home.

After three years and nine months as a unit, Team Drift have decided to split after their latest failed attempt to chase after a championship. Keisuke Ishii feels that Drift have stagnated as a team. Shigehiro Irie said he now feels lonely after the decision but he has to face reality. Soma Takao thinks he needs to take this chance to grow after he failed to win anything in the Right To Challenge Rumble at “JUDGEMENT 2016”. Their final match as a unit will take place on 29th May but until then they will have a farewell series of matches on DDT shows. Ken Ohka demanded to be inserted into one of Drift’s final matches when he found out about their dissolution. He’s even willing to reform #OhkaEmpire for the occasion.

Smile Squash wants to avenge HARASHIMA by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Sasaki & Ishikawa. They are on a roll and take credit for Team Drift disbanding. They also believe to know the champions’ weakness. Although Sasaki & Ishikawa are both strong as individuals, their stamina does not match. Smile Squash thinks that Ishikawa’s large size is actually his weakness because he sweats a lot! If they can tire out Ishikawa and leave him in a dehydrated state they can then beat Sasaki and win the titles.
