Astronauts Showdown! Bookstore Pro Wrestling, Delayed Young Drama Cup Final

November 19, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 112 ~BANQUET~”, 26/11/2019

2. Ryuichi Sekine, Minoru Fujita & Gouma Ryu Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Masato Kamino

5. Masahiro Takanashi & Isami Kodaka Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT

The Union MAX Champion and his next challenger are teaming up for a match. But why? It’s all Isami Kodaka’s idea and is based on his history with Masahiro Takanashi. When Kodaka was the KO-D Openweight Champion in 2016, Takanashi was one of his challengers. The two teamed together before their title match. Kodaka remembers how tense it was as a champion to team with his challenger. He wants Takanashi to experience the same feeling. He has brought in what he thinks is the best team they should fight, the Speed Of Sounds!

Over in Big Japan this year’s Saikyo Tag League has been going on. Fuminori Abe entered the tournament with Takuya Nomura. The two regularly team together in BJW as Astronauts. Sadly the team only scored 6 points in their group and could not qualify for the semi-finals. So while the final rounds of the tournament is happening in Korakuen Hall, Abe and Nomura will instead be at BASARA wrestling each other.

DDT “BOOKSTORE PRO WRESTLING AGAIN”, 23/11/2019
Tokyo Inoo Book Store

1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & Yukio Naya

In 2008 when Sanshiro Takagi released his first book, DDT held a wrestling match inside of a bookstore. 11 years later to mark the release of Takagi’s next book, DDT is doing it again!

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2019”, 24/11/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
2. 4 Way Tag Match: Akito & Shunma Katsumata Vs Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya

5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Difference Battle Royal: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Michiaki Nakano Vs Toru Owashi Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Mizuki Watase Vs Asuka Vs Hiroshi Yamato
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Iino

Yuki Iino has been bench pressing 200kg as part of his training for the main event. He thought the public contract signing was a public workout so HARASHIMA was there to see his lift. The downside for this kind of training is Iino risks re-injuring his elbow before the show. He swears it is in perfect condition.

Michiaki Nakano from Souken Holdings had a sparring session with Keigo Nakamura but he got beaten pretty easily. At least the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is now part of the Battle Royal he is entering.

Saki Akai has said the reason she is doing a 7 match series is to show her guest opponents how interesting wrestling in DDT can be. Tsukasa Fujimoto is no stranger to DDT so she is going into the match wanting to see if Akai is more than just a gorgeous looking pro wrestler. She is curious to see how Akai wrestles against her because Akai has spent almost her entire wrestling career in a company for male wrestlers.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WHITE BREATH 2019”, 22/12/2019
Tokyo Art Center White Studio

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kenichiro Arai, Masked Mystery & Shota (c) Vs Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol
2. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Delayed Young Drama Cup Final: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata

Kazuki Hirata isn’t leaving Ganbare☆Wrestling just yet. He has unfinished business with Keisuke Ishii. A decade ago the generation that Hirata and Ishii belong to had their own rookies tournament called the Young Drama Cup. It only lasted two years. Ishii won the first one in 2009 and reached the final of the second one in 2010. Hirata entered the 2010 tournament but finished last with only a single victory. A lot has changed since then but the history of that tournament now surrounds the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title match.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2010” Results

November 28, 2010

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2010”, 28/11/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,525 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

3. Next Variety Group Election Match: Toru Owashi defeated DJ Nira, Danshoku Dino, Kota Ibushi, Tanomusaku Toba, Hoshitango, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga when Owashi pinned Nira with a Diving Body Press (11:10).
4. Genichiro Tenryu, Masao Orihara & HARASHIMA defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yago & Shigehiro Irie when HARASHIMA pinned Irie with the Somato (12:58).
5. Young Drama Cup – Final: Takao Soma defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Diving Guillotine Drop (15:10).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo defeated Hikaru Sato (c) with the Diving Senton (27:55).
*Sato fails in V1. Togo becomes the 34th KO-D Openweight Champion.

Despite planning to retire in six months time, Dick Togo showed he still has it in him to win a big championship. This is Togo’s third reign as KO-D Openweight Champion while Hikaru Sato becomes the seventh wrestler to lose the title without a successful defence. The other six are Masao Orihara, NOSAWA, Super Uchu Power, Sanshiro Takagi, GENTARO and Shoichi Ichimiya.

Antonio Honda will be Togo’s first challenger. Right after winning the title, Togo said he will take on anyone in DDT at anytime. Honda sprinted into the ring so he could make the first challenge before anyone else. He broke down into tears as he told everyone how he thought Togo was one of the best wrestlers in history. Togo said he was glad that his first defence will be against Honda and they hugged. Their match will take place on 26th December in Korakuen Hall.

Takao Soma reached a milestone in his career by winning the Young Drama Cup, beating last year’s winner Keisuke Ishii. The young man’s career has gone off to a very good start going back to winning his debut match at the first Ryogoku Peter Pan show in 2009.

Sanshiro Takagi is now officialy affiliated with Union. At this time he is still scheduled to be on a few DDT shows but that could very well change in the coming weeks. He praised Shigehiro Irie for his performance in the match despite taking the fall. Takagi nominated Irie to be his partner for his match against Shuji Ishikawa & Seiya Morohashi at the Union event on 3rd December. At the end of the show, Dick Togo and Tsurumi Amon presented flowers to Sanshiro Takagi as he said his farewell to the DDT brand. Takagi congratulated Togo on winning the belt and they shook hands, only for Togo to kick Takagi in the gut and give him a Pedigree. Togo posed with his belt and then left the ring. When Takagi recovered he gave said his goodbyes to the fans and led them with one last play of “Fire!” by Scooter.

Match 3 had wrestlers entering the match Royal Rumble style. It started off with Toru Owashi and DJ Nira against each other. Everyone else involved in the match came out dressed as Owashi, mimicking his entrance and body language while “Sandstorm” by Darude was blasting from the speakers each and every time.

Choun Shiryu announced that New Beijing will return to Japan for a show to be held on 11th February 2011. Tsurumi Amon was confused as the New Beijing brand allegedly broke up back at Muscle House 10. Choun explained that in China it is common for dynasties that die in the Autumn to revive in the Spring.

Cherry appeared on screen to announce the new name for the former Mitsuboshi Curry restaurant. The new name for the restaurant is now Nico Nico Curry and it will re-open on 12th December. The new logo conatins a large happy face that covered Cherry’s own face during the video, kind of like the Laughing Man logo from Ghost In The Shell.

Young Drama Cup Standings

2. Keisuke Ishii (7)
3. Shigehiro Irie (6)
4. Yukihiro Abe (5)
5. Rion Mizuki (2)
6. Kazuki Hirata (2)

Gedo & Jado both made an appearance to confront Kota Ibushi in the lead up to their inevitable match with the Golden Lovers. Ibushi is still trying to convince New Japan to sanction an IWGP Jr. Tag Title match held in the snow or in a swimming pool.

The 6 Vs 3 Handicap Rumble had the team of Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & DJ Nira begin the match with just Tanomusaku Toba opposing them. Every minute another member of the 6-Man team would enter the match. The lineup for the 6-Man team in the results above was listed by order of entry.

The Young Drama Cup Final will be Takao Soma versus last year’s winner Keisuke Ishii. Oddly enough it’s the rematch to today’s contest which Soma won to top the group. Ishii finished second thanks to Yukihiro Abe, whose victory over Shigehiro Irie cost Irie a place in the final.


DDT Schedule For November

November 16, 2010

A full report on DDT’s Osaka card is now posted.

DDT “NON-FIX 11.17”, 17.11.2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Young Drama Cup: Rion Mizuki (0) Vs Kazuki Hirata (2)
2. Young Drama Cup: Shigehiro Irie (6) Vs Yukihiro Abe (3)
3. Young Drama Cup: Takao Soma (6) Vs Keisuke Ishii (7)
4. Michael Nakazawa Vs The Great Kojika
5. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs MIKAMI & Hoshitango
6. Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Dick Togo & Yasu Urano

Young Drama Cup Standings

1. Keisuke Ishii (7)
2. Shigehiro Irie (6)
3. Takao Soma (6)
4. Yukihiro Abe (3)
5. Kazuki Hirata (2)
6. Rion Mizuki (0)

This is the final set of matches in the Young Drama Cup before the grand final. The top two wrestlers in the Young Drama Cup go through to the final. I think DDT is using the “direct confrontation” rule where if there is a tie between two wrestlers, the result from their previous tournament match decides who finishes on top. If that is the case then Shigehiro Irie has already qualified for the final and Takao Soma Vs Keisuke Ishii will be for the other spot. However a draw between Soma and Ishii will mean both wrestlers qualify for the final and their rematch will be for the Cup. To use a rugby term, Rion Mizuki and Kazuki Hirata are fighting over who gets the Wooden Spoon.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2010”, 28.11.2010

Hikaru Sato is the brand new KO-D Openweight Champion after a whirlwind period that saw his value grow higher and higher. Along with finishing second in the DDT48 Election, a shocking win over Kota Ibushi earned him a shot at HARASHIMA. Sato did to the champion what he did to Ibushi and that was rip his God damn arm off! The build up running up to the show was focused on Hikaru Sato. A video promo had Sato ask himself “What do I dream about? My dream wrestling match.” He came out to new theme music (“Electro World” by Perfume) and was showered in paper streamers from the Osaka fans. He was even accompanied by both the members of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation and the former Belt Hunter X Hunter stables. HARASHIMA was accompanied by his fellow DISASTER-BOX teammates. Sato targeted the arm with Cross Armbreakers, a Keylock and Triangle Chokes including one hanging from the ropes. After 21 minutes, the Cross Armbreaker was too much for HARASHIMA to take and Yukinori Matsui had to call for the match to end. Afterwards, Sato told the fans  that his victory “…was a dream of mine. It was a dream for everyone!” He admitted that he will still be a fool from time to time and hoped that fans will continue to support him in DDT and also wrestling in Osaka in general. After his speech, Sato called Dick Togo to the ring in order to say he is prepared for their match on the 28th November. Togo congratulated the new champion but said he will let his actions in the ring do all the talking.

The Golden Lovers no longer have to worry about Apollo 55 chasing after their IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships for now. Kota Ibushi pinned Ryusuke Taguchi with the Phoenix Splash in a turbo paced title match that went full speed from the beginning. The Lovers’ next challengers look to be Gedo & Jado and there is no love lost between these two teams.

Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki won the KO-D Tag Team Championships from the Butt Samurai team of Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino. Honda & Sasaki stole the belts from Dino during the Shin-Kiba 1st RING 5th Anniversary show. The plot was created by Honda to get revenge on Dino for a traumatising event that happened when the two shared an apartment together two years ago. What happened was one day Honda brought home a pudding that he was saving for later and he left it in the fridge. He even labelled the pudding so Dino would know it was for Honda. However, while Antonio was taking a bath, Dino became hungry and found the pudding in the fridge. He never noticed the label and ate the entire pudding. When Honda found out he tried not to get upset about it. However, as each day passed Honda’s anger grew like thorns stabbing in his heart until it finally reached it’s breaking point. So Honda joined up with his “true friend” Daisuke Sasaki to plan his revenge. They stole the belts, got Dino to accept their challenge for a title match and, most gratifying of all, Honda pinned Dino to win the belts. However, Honda & Sasaki already have a target on their backs. GENTARO & Yasu Urano challenged them to a title match for 28th November. DDT GM Tsurumi Amon accepted their request so the match is set for Korakuen Hall.

Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano are now together as a stable. Yasu was seen with a t-shirt wrapped around his waist that said GRANMA. That might be the name of the new stable.

Sanshiro Takagi & Yoshiaki Yago teamed up for what was supposed to be a three match series in a bid to get rid of Yago’s ring rust aswell as to patch things up between the two before Takagi leaves for Union. In all three matches, Sanshiro accidentaly clocked Yago with a Clothesline that would lead to the team losing to the Suicide Boyz, the former Nuru Nuru Brothers and Toru Owashi & Hideki Shiota. A surprise fourth match then took place as Tsurumi Amon invited Takaku Fuke & Kuishinbo Kamen from Osaka Pro to take part in the series. Takagi once again Clotheslined Yago by accident but this time Yago avoided being pinned and trapped Kuishinbo in the Cobra Twist to finally win a match.

Yukihiro Abe’s cosplay for the day was from the anime series “K-On!

DDT “SHIN-KIBA 5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL” Results

November 3, 2010

DDT held a triple bill of shows in Shin-Kiba 1st RING today to celebrate the arena’s 5th anniversary. There was a Monthly Young Communication show, a Union show and the DDT show itself, which is the only show I have results for right now.

DDT “SHIN-KIBA 5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL”, 03/11/2010

-. Rion Mizuki [0]

Both of the KO-D Tag Team Title belts went missing before the show. Danshoku Dino was convinced that MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba stole the belts and were keeping them hostage in order to get another title shot. This led to the main event being changed into an I Quit match where Dino could get the Suicide Boyz to confess to their crimes. He took advantage of the rules to interrogate his opponents in the usual Dino fashion. However, when Dino found out MIKAMI & Toba were innocent he was blindsided by his own partners Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki, causing the match to be thrown out. Honda & Sasaki revealed that they were the ones who stole the belts! DDT General Manager, Tsurumi Amon was quick to react and made a KO-D Tag Title match for the Osaka show on the 14th. It will be the Butt Samurai (yes, that is the team name for Dino & Shiro Koshinaka) versus Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki for the belts!

Speaking of belts, a large group of them changed hands during the show. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation has finally found success and all it took was for them to beat up two kids and an old man defeat one of the most dominating trios in the history of professional wrestling. The Great Kojika, Mr. #6 & Riho were the fan favourites while the SHF, Michael Nakazawa especially were booed throughout the match. Mr. #6 sacrificed himself to protect Riho from a Nakazawa Lotion Backwash Attack but in the end Tomimitsu Matsunaga put the Great Kojika down for the count with the Tommy Bomber Lariat. The SHF now have 9 physical belts added to their trophy cabinet and some space is left for a certain Openweight title that Hikaru Sato has set his sights on for Osaka.
