4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – B Block: Soma Takao (2) defeated Bull James (2) with a Crucifix Pin (7:40).
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – A Block: Chihiro Hashimoto (4) defeated Yuki Ueno (2) with the Albright (13:32).
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – A Block: Tetsuya Endo (1) Vs Chris Brookes (1) ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – A Block: Keisuke Ishii (2) defeated Konosuke Takeshita (2) with the Kneel Kick (15:05).
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – B Block: Masato Tanaka (4) defeated Daisuke Sasaki (0) with the Sliding D (19:56).
Day 2 of the D-Ou Grand Prix ended with the two outside names leading both groups. Masato Tanaka topped B Block by beating Daisuke Sasaki in the main event. The two both used chairs early in the match but the dirty wrestling went away. Sasaki countered the Sliding D into a Crucifix Pin then turned it into the Cross Facelock. Tanaka cradled Sasaki for a nearfall but it also allowed him to escape the submission. Tanaka wore down Sasaki with Elbow Stikes until he put him away with the Sliding D. Tanaka said he doesn’t talk much on the microphone in ZERO1 these days but he gets to do it in DDT today. Maybe the DDT fans are disappointed with today’s result but Tanaka still wants to give everyone an exciting tournament and go all the way to the final.
Keisuke Ishii made up for yesterday’s disappointing result in a big way by beating Konosuke Takeshita! The match was decided with a duel between Lariats and Kneel Kicks. The finish saw Takeshita hit the Lariat only for Ishii to pop back up and hit the Kneel Kick for the pin. This was the first time Ishii beat Takeshita since the latter was a rookie. However Ishii understands that the win on its own means little. He is happy that the pillar of Ganbare☆Wrestling beat the ace of DDT but the win means nothing if he doesn’t do well for the rest of the Grand Prix. Ishii now has his sights set on Chihiro Hashimoto!
After today there are now two time limit draws in D-Ou history and Tetsuya Endo has been part of both of them. Endo and Chris Brookes spent a lot of time trying to give each other wet willies. It went as far as Brookes sticking his finger in Yukinori Matsui’s mouth to wet willy his way out of Endo’s Yurikamome Hold. The moves got bigger as the minutes counted down. Endo hit Tetsuya In The Sky and a Canadian Destroyer. Brookes hit an Avalanche Double Arm Suplex and a Diving Senton. A double countout almost happened in the final minutes but both men got back in at 19. Brookes caught Endo in an Ankle Hold but the bell rang when 30 minutes passed. Endo believes his D-Ou is already over. His goal was to win every match so he treats a draw the same as a loss. Also he thinks his left foot is already weakened to the point of uselessness. Brookes however is feeling more proud over the result. It’s not embarrassing to fight Endo to a 30 minutes draw. He is always going to be fighting at 100%. He is also motivated by some disparaging comments Sasaki made about him before the Grand Prix.
Hashimoto leads the A Block on her own after a win over Yuki Ueno. The Albright German Suplex was countered into a Rolling Cradle the first time but Hashimoto kicked out and hit the move properly the second time. With two wins in two matches Hashimoto wants to go on undefeated, win the Grand Prix and become the face of DDT! Ueno describes Hashimoto’s strength as identical to Yuki Iino’s. He accepts defeat today but thinks he will become better tomorrow.
Soma Takao used the referee as a shield against Bull James then spat Red Mist to blind his opponent. The distraction worked and Takao pinned James with a Crucifix Pin. Takao wants to know why a super heavyweight is in the tournament. James swore revenge on DAMNATION and he will get it when he faces Sasaki.
Yukio Sakaguchi and Naomi Yoshimura both wasted no time in trying to get their first win. Yoshimura attacked Sakaguchi before the bell. But Sakaguchi kicked his way into recovery and won with a Sleeper Hold and the God’s Right Knee. Even though it was short, Sakaguchi thanked Yoshimura for giving him a good fight. The pre-match attack made Sakaguchi remember what he has been missing lately.
In one of the non-tournament matches, Iino turned the HIRATA GO! dance into a group Haka involving everyone in the match.
Every entrant in the Battle Royal took the time to tell Makoto Oishi how much it would mean to them to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. In the end Antonio Honda won the Battle Royal, last eliminating Oishi to become the champion. Oishi shook his hand afterwards but it was a trap to School Boy him and take his title back.
DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2020 IN YOKOHAMA 2 DAYS”, 29/11/2019 Yokohama Radiant Hall 166 Fans
1. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Akito & Shunma Katsumata and Antonio Honda & Keigo Nakamura when Hirata pinned Nakamura with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (8:44).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Masahiro Takanashi, Yukio Naya & Mizuki Watase when Sasaki submitted Watase with the Cross Facelock (11:45).
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – A Block: Yuki Ueno (2) defeated Keisuke Ishii (0) with a Korubata Cradle (9:27).
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – B Block: Bull James (2) defeated Naomi Yoshimura (0) with the Doink Drop (8:48).
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita (2) defeated Yuki Iino (0) with the Nishinari Driver (16:35).
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – A Block: Chihiro Hashimoto (2) defeated Chris Brookes (0) with the Abright (12:28).
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – B Block: Masato Tanaka (2) defeated Soma Takao (0) with the Sliding D (15:10).
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – B Block: HARASHIMA (2) defeated Yukio Sakaguchi (0) with the Somato (15:13).
The 3rd D-Ou Grand Prix begins with the reigning KO-D Openweight Champion winning in the main event. HARASHIMA’s opening day opponent was Yukio Sakaguchi. HARASHIMA blocked the God’s Right Knee with the Somato but a follow up Somato was dodged. Sakaguchi caught HARASHIMA in the Sleeper Hold and alomst choked him out. But HARASHIMA lifted Sakaguchi up in a piggyback and dropped him onto his head to break free. HARASHIMA then hit the Somato for the victory. He said this match and the Masato Tanaka match are especially important for him. He cleared one of them today so he is confident he has the momentum to win the Grand Prix!
Speaking of Tanaka, he expected Soma Takao to put up a tough fight because he is a KO-D Tag Team Champion. There were times when Tanaka provoked Takao to put more strength behind his Elbow Strikes. Takao did get one up on his opponent by dodging the Sliding D then rolling him around in the Official Endless Waltz. But Tanaka kicked out and prevented Takao from hitting either the Gin And Tonic or the Reverse Gory Special Bomb. Tanaka countered the Gin And Tonic into a Sunset Flip then popped Takao with the Sliding D to win the match. Tanaka’s next match is against Daisuke Sasaki tomorrow. He heard Sasaki has charisma but does it compare to the charisma of Jun Kasai or Atsushi Onita? Tanaka will find out tomorrow.
Chris Brookes doesn’t get along with the Sendai Girls. So it was fitting that his first match of the tournament was against the promotion’s champion Chihiro Hashimoto. Brookes lit up Hashimoto’s chest with Chops and and locked in the Octopus Stretch but it was the difference in strength that decided the match. Hashimoto got out of the Octopus by using a Back Flip, hit a Lariat then pinned Brookes with the Albright German Suplex. Hashimoto greeted the DDT fans and said it’s been a long time since she previously wrestled here. It doesn’t matter if she is against a man or a woman, she will be the one standing tall at the end! Brookes didn’t want to admit it but he warned the rest of the A Block to be careful against Hashimoto.
The two ALL OUT members entering the Grand Prix faced off in their first match. Yuki Iino is fresh off of challenging for the KO-D Title. Unfortunately his run begins with a loss to the previous KO-D Champion Konosuke Takeshita. For this match Takeshita used a Michinoku Driver II to pin Iino. He says it is not supposed to be a secret finishing move, it was just the last thing he could think of when the German Suplex didn’t work. When Takeshita uses the move he wants it to be called the Nishinari Driver. Iino believes his power comes from the Haka Elbow so he will aim to use the move early in his next match.
Bull James returned to DDT and sent a big message by toppling over the young powerhouse Naomi Yoshimura. Lariats were thrown until James grabbed Yoshimura and threw him over with a T-Bone Suplex. Not even Yoshimura could kick out of the Doink Drop afterwards. James said he will knock down everybody in his block. However he did have good words to say about Yoshimura and told him he is the future of DDT.
The opening bout of the tournament turned out to be a pretty big upset. Yuki Ueno dodged Keisuke Ishii’s Pink Kneel Kick then used a Headscissors to cradle Ishii into a three count pin. Ishii was disappointed to lose as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion. Ueno said nobody thought he would beat Ishii today. He’ll do it again and beat Hashimoto tomorrow.
In one of the non-tournament matches Keigo Nakamura vanished only to reappear wearing an Ultraman head crest. It gave him the power to fire head rays at his opponents but Kazuki Hirata blocked it with his hand sword. Nakamura got the better of him but missed a Superhero Diving Body Press. Hirata rolled him up for the victory.

3. Toshiwasure! Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Super Sasadango Machine
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2020 – Final: Winner Of A Block vs Winner Of B Block
One of the upsets of the year happened when Super Sasadango Machine pinned Shinya Aoki last weekend. Even Sasadango has been struggling to believe it was a deserved victory. He does comedy so much that he can’t tell if he has some legitimate wrestling ability anymore. To find out if Sasadango actually has skill in the ring he will face Aoki in a singles match. If he hits the Lehmann Shock three times in a row again then nobody can question the result.

1. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) Vs Hikari Noa
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita
Hikari Noa convinced Maki Itoh to give her an International Princess Title shot. She wants to win the title and defend it against Natsumi Maki when she returns from injury. Maybe it’s out of jealousy or maybe it is out of respect but Itoh accepted the challenge and wants it at the big 4th January show at Korakuen Hall.

1. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs X
There will be no more title matches in DDT until January. I bet the D-Ou Grand Prix group stage will determine some challengers for HARASHIMA.

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino (c) Vs X, X & X
ALL OUT’s position in DDT has been weakened now that Konosuke Takeshita is no longer the KO-D Openweight Champion. An attempt from Yuki Iino to win the belt failed and Shunma Katsumata hasn’t been able to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles whenever he had the chance to. All they have to fight for at the moment is the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

4. Saki Akai “Okibariyasu” 7 Match Series – 1st Match: Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Saki Akai with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (9:32).
5. After Ultimate Party 2019 Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Jiro Kuroshio defeated Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita when Kuroshio pinned Honda with the Moonsault Press (14:07).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) defeated Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes when Takao pinned Brrokes with the Official Endless Waltz (13:43). *V9 for DAMNATION.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Yuki Iino with the Somato (16:51). *V1 for HARASHIMA.
HARASHIMA’s first defence for his latest KO-D Openweight Title got off to a good start with a victory over Yuki Iino. The challenger used the Bubba Bomb and the Haka Elbow but couldn’t put HARASHIMA away. He went for the Spear but HARASHIMA blocked it with a Standing Somato. When both got back up they got into a Elbow Smash battle that ended with Iino throwing a Headbutt. However HARASHIMA hit back with a Spin Kick to the face that knocked Iino down. HARASHIMA used a Buzzsaw Kick to set up the match ending Somato. The champion called Iino a great opponent he wants to face again and again. He called Iino a TV star but HARASHIMA also appeared on a TV drama recently so he thinks that cancelled out Iino’s advantage. HARASHIMA won’t have any more title defences for the rest of the year. His next DDT Extreme Title defence will be on 12th January and his next KO-D Title defence is on 26th January. For now HARASHIMA will concentrate on winning the D-Ou Grand Prix.
Today was the most under threat DAMNATION have been towards losing the KO-D Tag Team Titles. As the match progressed problems grew between Daisuke Sasaki and Soma Takao. Thanks to the craftiness of Masahiro Takanashi, he would make Sasaki bump into Takao over and over until Takao had enough and he turned on Sasaki! After smashing Sasaki with an Elbow Strike, Takao left the ring in anger. Sasaki had to fight his opponents mostly on his own but Tetsuya Endo did what he could from ringside to prevent Sasaki from losing. Endo gave a chair to Sasaki which caused Takao to come back and grab it off him. However Takao then hit Takanashi with the chair and all was good again with DAMNATION! The match became 2 Vs 2 again. Sasaki pulled Takanashi out of the ring while Takao blocked the Praying Mantic Bomb from Chris Brookes. From there Takao used the Official Endless Waltz to cradle Brookes into pins until he finally got a three count. Backstage Takao says he has not forgiven Sasaki yet but Sasaki doesn’t care. Today proved that they can win matches even if their friendship is broken. They are one more title defence away from taking their team to the next level. But first they have to worry about the D-Ou GP where they just happen to be in the same block. Brookes told Takanashi not to worry about the loss because CDK are only a new team. They will get another shot at the titles some day.
The team of Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita took on a new challenge when they faced Konosuke Takeshita & Jiro Kuroshio. Honda complained that Kuroshio was wearing a nice jacket while he wrestled. Yamashita faked an injury along with Honda after a leapfrog spot but took the match seriously when she faced off with Takeshita. She gave Takeshita a German Suplex but he immediately fired back with a Lariat. Honda stripped Kuroshio of his jacket but struggled to put it on himself. When he wound up his hands for the Bionic Elbow they got entangled by the jacket. That gave Kuroshio the chance to knock him down and pin him with the Moonsault Press. Takeshita told Kuroshio he wants to wrestle him again no matter if it is in DDT, America or even the health center were they hung out at. Kuroshio joked that it will probably be at the health center. They hugged and vowed to reunite in the future.
Saki Akai’s first match in her “Okibariyasu” Series ended in a loss to Tsukasa Fujimoto. But she can be happy to know she put up a good fight. Akai couldn’t hit the Quetzalcoatl and it took Fujimoto two attempts to hit the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex. Fujimoto intentionally used the move because Akai said in an interview that she wanted to wrestle Manami Toyota. When you wrestle Fujimoto, you also wrestle Toyota in spirit. Akai will take what she has learned and use them along with her emotions for the next match. Opponent #2 in her series will be Sakura Hirota and that match will be on 28th December.
The rookie Keigo Nakamura took the microphone before his match and told everyone his dream is to win a championship. He figured out the fastest way to do this is to go for the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Shinya Aoki because of Aoki’s KO power. He asked Aoki if he wanted to do that but Aoki’s answer was “Who are you?” Their match began and Danshoku Dieno got his hands on Nakamura while Aoki fought with Super Sasadango Machine. Sasadango escaped from Aoki’s Sleeper Hold by slipping out of his mask. Dieno then gave Aoki the Lip Lock and the Danshoku Driver to set up something even more expected. Sasadango hit the three Lehmann Shocks and pinned Aoki! Sadadango reappeared later in the show and asked for a singles match with Aoki on 28/12 to figure out if this was a fluke or if he reall does have potential to be a serious pro wrestler.
The dream has come true for Michiaki Nakano. He has finally won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! If only for a minute. He didn’t win the Battle Royal despite bribing the other wrestlers thousands and thousands of yen to help him beat up Kazuki Hirata. However Hirata beat the odds and eliminated every one of his opponents to win the match. Things looked to be peaceful after the match until Nakano gave Hirata the Rainmaker and went for the pin. Hirata kicked out at one. Makoto Oishi then hit Hirata with the title belt and Nakano jumped onto Hirata before Oishi could for the title change. Nakano celebrated until Oishi rolled him up for the three count and ran off with the belt.
Now that Nobuhiro Shimatani has gone freelance, somebody has to carry around the DAMNATION signboard. Endo ended up doing it today. Somehow the sign is now upside down. It’s not all bad. He and Mad Paulie won the 4 Way Tag.
Kazusada Higuchi will return to the ring on 28th December. He has been out of action since September.
Hirata’s 10th Anniversary show will take place on 14th March, 2020.

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.

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.

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.

6. Ken Ohka Local Triumph! Nanto Specialty Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Antonio Honda defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Super Sasadango Machine when Ohka pinned Sasadango with the Spear Of Fire (19:25).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Toru Owashi (c) with a School Boy (3:26 pm). *Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,442nd champion.
Just because Ken Ohka was back in his hometown of Nanto City doesn’t mean his opponents treated him with respect. They did the opposite, scribbling on his face with marker during an out of the ring brawl in the main event. Antonio Honda used Gongitsune to even the odds, getting Super Sasadango Machine to unmask himself so he would be vulnerable to an Eye Poke. Konosuke Takeshita turned Gongitsune on Honda and made Honda pinch himself in the nipple. Sasadango attempted the three Lehmann Shocks but Ohka fought out of the combo and hit a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. From there Ohka pinned Sasadango with the Fire Spear.
Makoto Oishi attacked Toru Owashi at the end of the show in a bid to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Owashi fought him off until Kazuki Hirata pinned him with a School Boy from out of nowhere.
The string of victories continues for Yuki Iino. He wasn’t able to pin HARASHIMA but he still appreciates how important a result like today’s is for his KO-D Openweight Title match on the 24th. Iino used a Reverse Bubba Bomb for the first time in today’s match. He wants to make it more crisp before he considers it ready for the title bout. But when he perfects it he thinks that move along with the Spear can make him the champion. HARASHIMA admits Iino is strong but also sees a lot of holes in his wrestling that he can attack.
Masahiro Takanashi posed with the KO-D Tag Team Title belt belonging to Daisuke Sasaki after the 3 Way Match. He wanted to leave with it but Hisaya Imabayashi took it off him. Takanashi wanted to know why Sasaki did not have Soma Takao in his corner for the match. Sasaki swears that he and Takao reconciled after their problems yesterday.
Ohka’s father was in attendance. In fact he helped organise the show! He joined Ken in doing the show opening speech.

The tournament matches could end by pinfall, submission, knockout, TKO and Ring Out. Also draws would have eliminated both wrestlers from the tournament. Some of the wrestlers took a straightforward approach. Yukio Sakaguchi and Makoto Oishi for example each wore a karate gi and had a normal grappling contest. Then things got weird for a little bit.
Pokotan wore boxing gloves and was programmed to fight as such until Tanomusaki Toba literally kicked its head off. Saki Akai took on a sukeban attitude and attacked Hoshitango with a bamboo sword. She also had a plastic bag containing something suspicious that she inhaled. Kazusada Higuchi pulled the bag from her which accidentally caused Akai to fall out of the ring. Things got back to normal when HARASHIMA beat Keigo Nakamura in a normal fight.
The semi-finals both ended with Ring Out finished. Toba knocked Sakaguchi off the apron with a Right Hook. HARASHIMA knocked Hoshitango through the ropes and out of the ring with the Somato. In the final HARASHIMA trapped Toba in a Half Crab to make him tap out.
Yuki Iino approached HARASHIMA at the end of the show to talk about their KO-D Openweight Title match on 24th November. Iino said he wants to beat HARASHIMA so he can begin his own era. He did a bit of the Haka to startle the champion. HARASHIMA recognised the enthusiasm but said he will definitely beat Iino and defend the title.

See if this sounds familiar. The Ikemen Army kidnapped the guest idol (this time it was Sakurako-san) and the YaroZ Army beat them in the main event to rescue her. The Ikemen refused to let her go but Cherry and Banny Oikawa entered the ring for the save. This time however Jiro Kuroshio and Makoto Oishi fought them off and said the usual YaroZ ending wasn’t going to be repeated. When all hope was lost, Yukio Sakaguchi entered the ring. He isn’t with BOYZ anymore so he is joining YaroZ today! Sakaguchi chased off the Ikemen Army and rescued the women. The YaroZ asked Oikawa and Sakurako-san to hang out with them after the show but they turned them all down. Cherry wanted to hang out though, specifically with Keigo Nakamura. He didn’t want to because he thinks Cherry is as old as his mother. Cherry didn’t care and she dragged Nakamura out of the ring.
The Sensual Novel Death Match had Naoki Tanizaki and Hiroshi Yamato reading erotica to Ryuichi Sekine after every 2 count pin or submission. Danshoku Dieno was there to help determine if Sekine was aroused enough to end the match. Unfortunately no amount of erotic storytelling could excite Sekine. As more stories were told, wrestlers and ringside personnel were getting aroused, even Dieno! Sekine was exiting the ring when an Enya song played over the speakers. That did it! Everyone was too aroused to do anything so the match ended with Enya as the winner.
Sakurako-san was on the show to be the round girl for the Handicap Match. She began fully dressed and took off a piece of clothing after every round. Hideki Sekine destroyed Gota Ihashi & Keigo Nakamura but all of the referees and other wrestlers did what they could to keep the match going and complete the striptease. Yuya Okada eventually had enough and ended the match when Sekine squeezed the life out of Nakamura with a Bearhug. Yukinori Matsui attacked Okada and wrestled him over the decision. Sakurako-san calmed everyone down by stripping down to her bikini. That was when the Ikemen Army kidnapped her.
The Fundoshi match ended in a No Contest when Yuki Iino was so excited from hitting the Spear that he tried to remove his loincloth. Matsui blocked him and called for the bell.
