judgement2016-preview

DDT celebrates the 19th year of its existence with the first of two visits to Sumo Hall in 2016. After drawing a disappointing number back in August, they have packed this card with everything they have in their arsenal. Spin offs BASARA, DNA and Tokyo Joshi Pro all have spots on the pre-show so there is a sense of DDT getting everybody they can on their rosters onto the show in a WrestleMania kind of manner. Things to look forward to this year are the aces of DDT and BASARA facing off, one man and his dog chasing after tag team gold, sumo being challenged by the power of asses, two grumpy fighters being grumpy to each other, the return of a Golden Star to shine over the least wanted feud in wrestling, the presence of a Dragon and his son and the most extreme PowerPoint presentation known to mankind.

0. King Of Dark Title: Seiya Morohashi (c) & Hoshitango Vs DJ Nira & Dai Suzuki

Seiya Morohashi has the unwanted honour of defending the King Of Dark Title at one of DDT’s biggest shows of the year. The belt has been in existence for over a year now and has been a nightmare for everyone who held it. Morohashi needs to pin either DJ Nira or Dai Suzuki to transfer the belt to them and escape from dark match hell.

0. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Battle Royal: Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuka Sakazaki Vs Nonoko Vs Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao Vs Azusa Takigawa Vs Yuu Vs Nodoka-onesan Vs Marika Kobashi Vs Ai Shimizu Vs Poison Miura Vs KANNA

The girls from Tokyo Joshi Pro take the stage with a Battle Royal. Miyu Yamashita is currently leading the brand as the first and only TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion. She doesn’t have a No. 1 Contender at the moment so the winner here might grab that spot.

0. DNA Offer Match – Mao Inoue Comeback: Shunma Katsumata, Guanchulo & Mao Inoue Vs Kouki Iwasaki, Rainbow Kawamura & Nobuhiro Shimatani

The rookie brand DDT New Attitude has been a highlight for DDT throughout the year. The shows are uploaded to DDT’s official Youtube channel and are a great showcase for the younger and newer talent. In fact two thirds of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions are captaining the two teams in this match. Shunma Katsumata is teaming with his Chilean amigo Guanchulo and the returning Mao Inoue. Inoue debuted at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” and is one of the more flashier wrestlers in DNA. But a jaw injury at “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” in November put him on the shelf. On the other side, one-third champ Kouki Iwasaki has the now more colourful Rainbow Kawamura and recently debuting Nobuhiro Shimatani to partner with.

0. Pro Wrestling BASARA Offer Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Daichi Kazato & Ryu Gouma Vs FUMA, Yusuke Kubo & SAGAT

It’s been go, go, go for Pro Wrestling BASARA since its first show earlier this year. As a replacement for Union, BASARA put together a much busier schedule than its predecessor and the shows held so far have been a success. One of the main storylines going on right now is FUMA’s obsession for heavy metal music resulting in the creation of Kotetsu Gundan. FUMA wants to spread around his love of heavy metal and convinced the now masked Yusuke Kubo and a slightly confused Madoka to join his cause. FUMA won’t shut up and it’s starting to annoy the rest of BASARA. Takumi Tsukamoto has a massive hammer to smash FUMA’s mouth shut, Daichi Kazato has a megaphone to drown out the noise and Ryu Gouma has his lawbook so surely he can find something to declare FUMA’s antics as noise pollution.

rtc-ryogoku

1. Ryogoku First Appearance! Next KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Decision And Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Masa Takanshi Vs Soma Takao Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Cherry Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Ryota Nakatsu Vs Yoshihiko Vs Ken Ohka

The show starts off proper with the annual Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere match appearing in Sumo Hall for the first time. It is a combination of a Money In The Bank Ladder Match and the Royal Rumble. The winner of the Rumble itself gets a guaranteed KO-D Openweight Title shot at Korakuen Hall on 24th April. However the competitors can instead try and claim one of several contracts held high above the ring. Those who grab a contract then leave the match with a prize. This year the prize is a MITB style title shot for any show from 26th March to 28th August, the date of the next Sumo Hall event. But this being DDT things are not always that simple. Rules can change but based on previous years the contract holder is forced to defend the contract in every single match they appear in until the contract is cashed in. This way the contract holder cannot just rest on their laurels and accept defeat after defeat knowing that they can claim an easy title shot whenever they want (see WWE booking). Plus it’s a bit unfair for the champion to have up to 4 or 5 people waiting to ambush him at any time so this concept keeps the roster scrambling amongst themselves for a few months.

After a string of wins including a Battle Royal victory, Kazuki Hirata offered to take the No. 1 entry spot in the match. He originally demanded to enter last but was convinced all of the contracts would be gone by the time he enters. So he’s entering first to grab a contract as soon as possible. He also has new heart shaped HIRATA GO! glasses on sale at the event. The rest of DDT’s misfits fill up the field. Masa Takanashi is aiming to win a title shot so he can become a double champion, one in Japan and one in Singapore. Toru Owashi is currently battling a flu but he also wants to snap every pair of HIRATA GO! glasses he sees. He also wants to flush Hirata down a toilet in the sumo locker room. Kazusada Higuchi held one of the contracts last year during his impressive rookie unbeaten streak. This time he wants to get a successful cash in. Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Cherry both want to finally achieve their goal of becoming KO-D Champion. Cherry wants to defend the title 41 times, one for every year she’s been alive. She believes this will end with her becoming reborn into an even more beautiful woman. Ryota Nakatsu is ready to get into a baseball dugout brawl if he has to. Ryuichi Sekine calls himself the best orthodox wrestler in BASARA and him getting a title shot will guarantee the belt either stays or comes back to his home company. Ken Ohka who briefly became KO-D Champion last year thanks to the Right To Challenge concept, sees himself as the outsider of the match due to being a representative of Ganbare☆Wrestling. At the press conference he challenged everybody to fight him one on one. Higuchi then gave him a Headbutt and he backed off, instead complimenting everybody for being so enthusiastic for the match. The other wild card is Yoshihiko. It probably just wants to watch the world burn.

2. 3 Way Tag Match: Joey Ryan & Candice LeRae Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Akito & Yasu Urano

It’s safe to say DDT has fallen in love with The World’s Cutest Tag Team. Last year’s video of Joey Ryan overpowering Danshoku Dino with his dick made him famous and the DDT roster fell head over heels for Candice LeRae, one of them even going so far to propose to her almost immediately. For their return to Japan they have two mainstay tag teams thrown in their way. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are former KO-D Tag Team and All Asia Tag Team Champions. Yasu Urano & Akito are busy working their strategy for the match. They understand that communication is key to winning and both of their opposing teams have strong bonds. However the one thing Ryan & LeRae have over Ishii & Irie is the language barrier. Ishii & Irie are terrible at English! Urano & Akito however understand English and can work out what Ryan & LeRae will be saying to each other. They don’t speak it themselves but they still understand it. Ishii tried to prove them wrong at the press conference by having Irie translate his message to both teams in English.

3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Saki Akai, Makoto Oishi & Lady Beard Vs LiLiCo (c), Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase

The Kawaii Connection reunite to deliver their cuteness to the entire world. Cute model Saki Akai, cute wrestler Makoto Oishi and cute crossdresser Lady Beard are ready to get revenge on LiLiCo for what she did to Akai. Back in December Akai finally achieved her goal and won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title for the second time in her career. But a few weeks later LiLiCo made a surprise return to choke out Akai with a steel chain and win the title. Now they will finally meet in the ring properly but LiLiCo has some back up. She recruited DNA wrestlers Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase. mostly based on their looks, to protect her and her championship. They’ve been living a lavish lifestyle in the run up to the show. LiLiCo’s been bragging about eating delicious meat with her handsome men. Umeda thinks the full stomach he has from the meat puts him in peak physical condition. Meanwhile a war of words has erupted between Akai and Watase over each other’s appearances. It’s gotten so bad that the two had to be pulled apart from each other during the press conference.

ryogoku-hondafukuda

4. Special Tag Match: Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Tatsumi Fujinami & LEONA

The latest puroresu legend to step into DDT’s ring is WWE Hall Of Famer Tatsumi Fujinami! He’s been looking for a new challenge for himself and his son LEONA to overcome so DDT gave them a call and here they are. Antonio Honda spent the last few months chasing after the DDT Extreme Title and trying to get Kendo Kashin to notice him. The experience left him in a bad state of mind so when he heard he will be teaming with Hiroshi Fukuda it cheered him up. He said he always had fun when he’s in the ring with Fukuda. That it’s against Fujinami & LEONA is icing on the cake for both. Fukuda claims he recently received a WWE tryout and he wonders if Fujinami gets a Legends discount for the WWE Network because he’s in their Hall Of Fame.

ryogoku-extreme

5. DDT Extreme Title – Ultimate Royal Barbed Wire PowerPoint No Power Blast PWF Rules: Kendo Kashin (c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

And now we go to whatever the hell this is. Kendo Kashin’s DDT Extreme Title run has been complicated in ways that should not be so. He created rulesets for his title defences that turn out to be exactly like normal match stipulations. Instead of a normal match it is an Amateur rules bout with 3 count pins, submissions allowed and 20 count ring outs. Instead of a tag team match it is a single match but both wrestlers have partners they can swap places with. Instead of a Triple Threat it is a singles match but with three wrestlers involved. And so on and so forth. Add in Super Sasadango Machine who is a master of bizarre match stipulations and you have a recipe for a beautiful disaster.

barbwire-powerpoint

So what exactly is an Ultimate Royal Barbed Wire PowerPoint No Power Blast PWF Rules match? Does it have anything to do with that stupid 4 Way MMA Gauntlet match New Japan did for its 2005 Tokyo Dome show? Actually yes it does but there’s only two wrestlers involved this time. Also Kashin has never seen the match so he’s not entirely sure what the rules for that are. Does it have anything to do with the Barbed Wire Explosion matches FMW was famous for? Again yes it does but explosions of that size are banned in Sumo Hall so they won’t be included. Instead barbed wire will be wrapped around the laptop Sasadango uses for his PowerPoint presentations and it will be rigged to explode after 5 minutes.

6. Kota Ibushi Comeback & Ibushi Wrestling Institute 1st Leg – East & West Toward The Front Over The Entire Surface Falls Count Anywhere Weapon Treasure Hunt Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs KENSO & Michael Nakazawa Vs Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi

There are two stories surrounding this match. First is the feud that no one wanted resurfaced last year and has lingered in DDT ever since. Sanshiro Takagi and KENSO had a feud in 2006 that ended with a No Rope Exploding Barbed Wire Match on a show where everything just fell apart. How bad was it? There were power outages during the match caused by the barbed wire ruining the explosions. KENSO showed up in DDT last year wanting to rekindle the feud. It was the most alive he ever felt and he wanted to experience it again. It turned smarky on social media with Takagi tweeting about KENSO’s failures in wrestling including losing to an actor when he wrestled in HUSTLE. KENSO’s response was usually just linking a picture of Takagi’s election poster, an embarrassing part of his past. A dark match 60 minute Ironman Match couldn’t decide a winner of the feud so it’s off to Sumo Hall for another final battle. Jun Kasai is coming to bring back his Crazy & President tag team with Takagi. KENSO has to rely on Michael Nakazawa who is returning from Singapore just to do this match. The stage is set for an out of control Falls Count Anywhere Match that will spread all over Sumo Hall. What could possibly take the spotlight from that?

Oh hey there, Kota Ibushi. How’s it going?

So get this. Last October Ibushi starts dropping out of shows including him missing a KO-D Title Match. Turns out he was diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc. So that’s him gone for God knows how long. Months pass and he’s all quiet until all of a sudden videos appear on Twitter of Ibushi working out and taking bumps with a training dummy. The herniated disc wasn’t as bad as expected and he was getting close to a full recovery. DDT and New Japan fans get excited for what will surely be his inevitable glorious comeback for both companies. Then in February he drops a bombshell. Ibushi decided to quit both DDT and New Japan. The double schedule took its toll on his body and he also felt he wouldn’t be able to do the kind of pro wrestling he wants to do while tied down to both companies. So he “graduates” from DDT and New Japan and then creates the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. What that is we still don’t know. What we do know is Ibushi’s first match back will be in this clusterfuck. He gets to wrestle Takagi and Nakazawa again, two men he has the deepest respect for and he gets to do a Falls Count Anywhere Match in Sumo Hall, which he has never done before.

What he does after the next few weeks is anyone’s guess. Maybe the WWE fans get their wish and he enters the Global Cruiserweight Series. Maybe NJPW fans can still get their wish of Ibushi Vs Kenny Omega at the Tokyo Dome next year. Or maybe he’s just going to do what he thinks is fun even if it means hardcore fans tearing out their hair because his big goal is to fight in Kaiju Big Battel. I mean fair play to EVOLVE and all but it has to be a bit embarrassing when everyone hears that the main reason a big star took your booking is because he wants to fight a devil monkey, a dust bunny, a murderous can of soup and a giant waffle in the same town that weekend.

ryogoku-suzukisakaguchi

7. Dramatic Dream Match: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Minoru Suzuki

The last time Yukio Sakaguchi was in Sumo Hall for DDT he won the KO-D Championship. The last time Minoru Suzuki was in Sumo Hall for DDT he was part of some nonsense with Takagi, Kasai and Nakazawa. Both are grumpy hybrid wrestlers so it’s only natural for a showdown between the two. Sakaguchi isn’t in the mood to talk about the match. Suzuki cares a little more but he’s rather enjoying teasing Sakaguchi over his public reputation for being a bad guy. Expect this match to get physical.

ryogoku-akebonodino

8. Dramatic Dream Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Akebono

Danshoku Dino is an ass man. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. What could be a surprise is Dino might not be able to handle the next ass he’s in the ring with. Akebono was last in DDT for “SAITAMA SUPER DDT” at the Saitama Super Arena. Since then he’s won some titles, created his own wrestling company Odo and got punched in the back of the head by Bop Sapp. You know, the usual stuff Akebono likes to do. For this match Dino has been trying to hunt down the asses of various wrestlers as some sort of power up but the plan hasn’t been a success. He’ll need to pull out every trick he can think of to win but it’s possible. Dino once defeated Bob Sapp. He can do the same to Akebono!

9. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Uchicomi! Presents: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa

The New Generation Combination are currently DDT’s top tag team. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo are the leading examples that DDT’s future is in good hands. But for the last month they’ve had a duo barking up their tree and snapping at their heels. Daisuke Sasaki is a crafty veteran who has had success in the past. However his luck changed when he fell in love with Candice LeRae. After teaming with her he bent down on one knee and proposed. She turned him down and he had a mental breakdown when he found out she got engaged to someone else immediately afterwards. Unable to handle rejection Sasaki started bringing a dog leash with him. When he demanded a tag team title shot without having any tag partners he went out and got a dog named Adrien. The “dog” then showed up and attacked the New Gen Combo. He unmasked and was revealed to be Shuji Ishikawa! Sasaki now has a partner and together they want the tag titles. Takeshita & Endo believe they are the future of pro wrestling and they’re not going to drop the titles to a dumped man and his pet dog.

ryogoku-mainevent

10. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs HARASHIMA

The KO-D Openweight Championship has been around Isami Kodaka’s waist since November. Things have been great for him. His new promotion BASARA is doing well, he’s a tag team champion in All Japan and he’s been unbeatable in DDT. If there is anyone who has the best shot at winning the title from him it’s good old Mr. Reliable himself, HARASHIMA. For the 5th time in his career HARASHIMA is in the headline match for DDT at Sumo Hall. The last time was in 2014 in a 3 Way Match with Kodaka and Kenny Omega. HARASHIMA got the pin on Kodaka to keep the title. This time he’s going in as challenger and he aims to leave with the belt. Kodaka equates this match to the rivalry between Kenshiro and Raoh in Fist Of The North Star. Isami is Kenshiro, HARASHIMA is Raoh. Isami is desperate to win and he’ll even use the Muso Tensei if he has to!

DDT “THREE OF A DREAM 2015” Results

November 22, 2015

nakajima-higuchi

DDT “THREE OF A DREAM 2015”, 22/11/2015
Hiroshima Industrial Hall East Exhibition Hall
346 Fans

0. King Of Dark Title – 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Kouki Iwasaki (c) and Suguru Miyatake when Fukuda pinned Iwasaki with a School Boy (5:10).
*D3 for Kouki Iwasaki.
1. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Irie pinned Matsunaga with the Flying Sausage (6:54).
2. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Joey Ryan defeated Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi & Yuto Aijima when Ryan pinned Oishi with the Super Kick (11:53).
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine (c) when Hirata pinned Dino with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (12:58).
*#OhkaEmpire fails in V2. T2Hide become the 21st KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
4. Hardcore Special Single Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Rope Assisted Pin (11:10).
5. Tetsuya Endo defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Sky Twister Press (13:47).
6. Hiroshima Specialty! Deadly Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kazusada Higuchi ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
7. Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Sakaguchi pinned Nakatsu with the Right Knee Of God (15:07).

Yukio Sakaguchi says he is in the middle of perfecting his Right Knee Of God finisher. Looks like it will reach perfect status by the time “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” takes place.

A rare 30 minute draw was the highlight of the show. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kazusada Higuchi was a pairing that worked in DNA and they felt they were the better team than HARASHIMA & Akito. The time expired right when Higuchi Choke Slammed Akito while Nakajima took care of HARASHIMA. They said they would have won for sure if there was five seconds left. Higuchi also wants to team with Nakajima in DDT again and aim for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles.

It’s now full sail ahead for Tetusya Endo after he beat Keisuke Ishii. Endo hit the Torture Rack Bomb for a two count but immediately followed up with the Sky Twister Press to earn the victory. Endo said power was a major weapon for him in this match but he might need something else to beat either Sakaguchi or Isami Kodaka at next month’s KO-D Title match.

Daisuke Sasaki celebrated his 30th birthday with a special Hardcore Match against Yuko Miyamoto. Sasaki had Suguru Miyatake in his corner but he was taken out with the Fire Thunder Driver. Miyamoto used a megaphone to call in Hiroshi Fukuda with a birthday cake. They sang Happy Birthday to Sasaki then Miyamoto smushed the cake into Sasaki’s face. Miyamoto later used rope leverage to get the three count on Sasaki.

Kazuki Hirata’s GO! Glasses went missing before the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Without them he struggled to find the enthusiasm to dance. Instead he focused on the task at hand and did quite well in the match. Super Sasadango Machine stopped him in his tracks by pulling out his missing glasses. He placed them down for Hirata to take it but Hirata refused, saying he does not need to rely on them anymore. Danshoku Dino took them instead and began dancing and fighting to the music. However Hirata was able to avoid the Lip Lock and pin Dino out of nowhere to make T2Hide the new champions! #OhkaEmpire demanded a rematch and it will take place in Hakata on 13th December.

In the King Of Dark Title match, Hiroshi Fukuda distracted Kouki Iwasaki by singing “Imagine”. Suguru Miyatake tried to get involved but ended up bumping into Iwasaki. Fukuda took advantage and pinned Iwasaki with a School Boy. Iwasaki dropped his shoulders in disappointment when it was confirmed he will be wrestling in the dark match at “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015”.

*Cherry becomes the 1,043rd champion.

Isami Kodaka and SAGAT rubbed in their victory by having a toast while Yukio Sakaguchi was leaving ringside. Sakaguchi flipped out and charged the ring, forcing the BASARA wrestlers to flee the ring. SAGAT tried to ambush Sakaguchi but Sakaguchi fought him off. Isami told SAGAT that was a strategic mistake.

Future KO-D Openweight Title challenger Tetsuya Endo was pinned by Keisuke Ishii in Match #5. In the post-match interview Endo considered challening Ishii to a single match. He feels he should not be entitled to the title shot if he is losing matches. Ishii admitted he was bitter over Endo getting the title shot when he finished higher in the Dramatic General Election. He didn’t deserve to lose in the 1st Round of the Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament while Endo won the entire thing.

After spending most of the year in one woman’s possession, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was back with a vengeance going through 19 title changes throughout the show. Poor Saki Akai was the only wrestler in the actual match who could not win the title. Everytime she prepared to hit a big move on the champion somebody else would sneak up to the champion and pin them to win the belt.

KENSO successfully got rid of the King Of Dark Title, passing it on to Kouki Iwasaki by pinning him in the 3 Way Dark Match. Afterwards KENSO said he had a gift for everyone, a singles match with Sanshiro Takagi to take place right here in Saitama! Amon Tsurumi came out and said he didn’t like that idea so it won’t happen. He then summoned the young DDT wrestlers to come out and drag KENSO away from ringside. They threw KENSO into a restroom and locked the door. KENSO eventually escaped and returned to the ring after Match #4. He succesfully convinced Tsurumi to add him into the Hardcore 5 Way match on the 28/11 Osaka show, turning it into a 6 Way.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2015 ~AUTUMN~” Results

November 3, 2015

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2015 ~AUTUMN~”, 03/11/2015
Aichi Nagoya International Conference Hall
736 Fans – No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Sanshiro Takagi (c) defeated KENSO with the Elixir Of Egypt (6:38).
*Sanshiro Takagi passes D4. KENSO becomes the 5th King Of Dark Champion.
1. Kengo Takai, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi defeated Suguru Miyatake, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Takai pinned Iwasaki with the Dera HOF Bomb (7:58).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata and Hiroshi Fukuda & Saki Akai when Hirata pinned Fukuda with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:04).
3. Yasu Urano defeated Soma Takao with a Cradle (7:33).
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine (c) defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Ohka pinned Honda with the Spear Of Flame (13:47).
*V1 for #OhkaEmpire.
5. Keisuke Ishii defeated Akito with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (12:26).
6. Road To OSAKA ~ Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Kodaka pinned Sakaguchi with the Isamuashi Zan (14:45).
7. Owari Nagoya Specialty Special 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki defeated HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie and Kazusada Higuchi when Sasaki submitted Higuchi with La Mistica Cross Face Lock (17:11).

A 4 Way main event saw Daisuke Sasaki come out as the victor. After a week of bad news that saw Sasaki stripped of the KO-D Tag Team Title because of Kota Ibushi’s injury, the time is now for Sasaki to make his own opportunities. He did so by submitting Kazusada Higuchi for the first time in the DNA wrestler’s career. Sasaki said after the match that DDT feels a little lonely now with Ibushi and KUDO both going through a slow recovery process. But he (and Suguru Miyatake) can persevere without them.

Yukio Sakaguchi is growing frustrated over losing to Isami Kodaka in the build up to their title match. Kodaka has been intentionaly doing the Diving Double Knee Drop in their matches to remind Sakaguchi of KUDO. Meanwhile Ryota Nakatsu is very happy with being on Kodaka’s team and hopes they continue wrestling together.

Over the last few days Keisuke Ishii has taken some time to reflect about the generation of DDT wrestlers he is apart of. He lost to Daisuke Sasaki on Monday but scored a win over Akito on this show. Ishii’s goal now is to be the best wrestler of this generation and he cherishes facing the competition ahead of him.

T2Hide challenged #OhkaEmpire to a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match after the champions defeated Happy Motels. Sanshiro Takagi said T2Hide’s track record is proof that they deserve the shot. That track record is Takagi getting rid of the King Of Dark Title and Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata winning the 3 Way Tag Match earlier in the show. Ken Ohka accepted the challenge and it will be held at the 22nd November Hiroshima show.

A power failure interrupted the King Of Dark Title match. When the lights came back on Ultraman Robin was suddenly standing in front of KENSO. Robin charged up, pointed at KENSO and yelled “Destiny!” Sanshiro Takagi then threw a powdery substance known as the Elixir Of Egypt at KENSO, blinding him. Takagi rolled over KENSO for the three count, meaning KENSO is now the King Of Dark Champion! After the match KENSO said he was in a unit called the Dark Kingdom but now he really is in the Dark Kingdom. KENSO challenged Takagi to a rematch but was shot down and slapped across the face. He was told to go to Kasukabe on 8th November for his first title defence. KENSO swore backstage that he will get his rematch with Takagi and force the belt back to him.

The main event had to be changed hours before the show when Kota Ibushi fell ill with a high fever. It was decided he was in no state to compete so he was pulled off the show and replaced with HARASHIMA. HARASHIMA was picked because finished 3rd in the Dramatic General Election so the KO-D Openweight Title was still on the line. He appeared calm when he entered the ring despite the hectic story behind his latest title shot. Maybe the lack of time for HARASHIMA to prepare was the deciding factor in Yukio Sakaguchi winning but respect was shared after the match. Sakaguchi was happy with getting a fierce fight after the emergency switch. He said he can wait for Ibushi another day but there is a name at the top of his list of who he wants to fight. That name is Isami Kodaka. The winner of the Dramatic Election was confirmed to be Sakaguchi’s next challenger in Osaka on 28th November.

The annual Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament took place after the main event. The prize on offer was a KO-D Title shot in Hakata on 13th December. Tetsuya Endo ran through the tournament and defeated Danshoku Dino in the final. He admitted he was a lucky boy and now looks forward to Sakaguchi Vs Kodaka. He said he told everyone before that he would one day get a KO-D Title shot before his tag partner Konosuke Takeshita. Now he has the chance to beat Takeshita in the race to become KO-D Champion first.

Daisuke Sasaki returned from a tour of Chile and brought along his newly won Chile MAX Lucha Libre Championship. This match was Kodaka’s first DDT appearance since the formation of BASARA but he was wearing a Union shirt in dedication to his former promotion. Kodaka thanked Sasaki for a good match but he now must pay attention to Sakaguchi.

HARASHIMA’s late addition to the main event meant that he was taken out of Match #5. Super Sasadango Machine was annoyed because it was too late for him to change his PowerPoint presentation and HARASHIMA featured heavily in it. For some reason he decided to team with Yasu Urano instead of Ken Ohka and the match was now a 2 Vs 1 Handicap bout. Ohka and Machine tried to avoid each other and play wrestle when they were in the ring together. However Ohka eventually got too into the action and soon both of them wrestled each other as normal. Sasadango tried to immitate HARASHIMA by going for the Somato but Ohka rolled out of the way and hit the Spear Of Flame to win the match. Afterwards Ohka yelled out his support for HARASHIMA in the main event and also for their upcoming meeting with Hiroshi Tanahashi next month.

The DDT Extreme Title match featured a lot of torture. Both Antonio Honda and Danshoku Dino were accompanied by a friend, Honda had Ryu Gouma and Dino had Toru Owashi. Whenever a wrestler initiated a rope break their friend would be tortured and held hostage at ringside. The match ends either through normal means or when a hostage gives up. Both Owashi and Gouma were trapped against a corner post and tortured with clothespins attached to the face, tickling, ice poured down their shirts, getting their face rubbed into Hiroshi Fukuda’s pet dog P-chan and having kusaya (salt-dried and fermented fish) wiped under their nose. The Kusaya proved to be Owashi’s breaking point and he gave up just when Dino was about to beat Honda with a 10 count KO. Kendo Kashin appeared (wearing Sasadango Machine’s title belt for some reason) after the match and challenged Honda to an Extreme Title match on the 28/11 Osaka show. He also gave him a pumpkin mask. Honda put on the mask and accepted the challenge. Kashin then grabbed the Extreme belt and handed it over to a fan in the front row. In a backstage interview Kashin said he wants to do a UWF Rules match but with pinfalls also allowed.

Freelance wrestler KENSO appeared after the intermission looking for Sanshiro Takagi. He first showed up at yesterday’s Tokyo Joshi Pro event and was told to come here if he wanted Takagi’s attention. KENSO brought up their feud from 2006 that culminated in a No Ropes Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match. KENSO said their rivalry had so much passion and he wishes to relive it. Takagi offered a singles match for 3rd November. The crowd started chanting “Dark” and KENSO thought they were referring to his Dark Kingdom stable. Takagi had to explain the King Of Dark Title to him. Since Takagi is the champion the match has to be for the title and thus has to be on the pre-show. KENSO still accepted the match.

Soma Takao used an Oklahoma Roll to pin Akito in Match #3. Takao calls the move the Endless Waltz.

Everyone in Match #2 wrestled in fancy dress costumes. Yuka Sakazaki was a witch and KAT-TOO were her zombies. Saki Akai wore an orange maid costume, Masa Takanashi wore a pumpkin mask and Kazuki Hirata was, who else? Magnum TOKYO.

Cherry still had the Union Fly To Everywhere Title belt with her when she faced Ai Shimizu in the opener.

There was a big applause for both Shigehiro Irie and Konosuke Takeshita after their time limit draw. Despite being a dark match both wrestlers wanted to fight their hearts out.

Hiroshi Fukuda distracted Shoko Nakajima by making her sing and then attacking her. Nakajima turned the tables when she interrupted Fukuda’s own singing with a Roll Up but Fukuda kicked out and applied an Armlock to submit her.

Daisuke Sasaki will hold a show celebrating his 10th anniversary of his pro wrestling debut on 18th November. Dick Togo will be the special guest referee for the main event and Antonio Honda Vs Yusuke Kubo is the first announced match.

Aja Kong will return with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the 28/11 Osaka show. She will defend the title in a Battle Royal.

Keisuke Ishii, Makoto Oishi and Masa Takanashi are all getting gender swapped characters for the Ring☆Dream online card game.

He then choked out Suguru Miyatake with a Sleeper Hold. When Ibushi came to he didn’t realise the match was over and he attacked Sakaguchi. The two had to be pulled apart. Sakaguchi provoked Ibushi causing another pull apart between the two. Problems continued after the show when the two got into another fight backstage.

A Loser Leaves Town match was booked between Antonio Honda, Danshoku Dino and Gota Ihashi. Whoever was pinned would be immediately kicked out of the building so all three wrestlers had to bring their suitcases and personal belongings out to the ring. Yukinori Matsui was knocked out during the match. Ihashi brought in the DDT Extreme Title belt and struck Honda over the head with it. Dino then gave Ihashi the Danshoku Pedigree onto the belt. He then placed Ihashi on top of Honda when Matsui woke up. Honda took the pin and he was forced to leave Kasukabe Hall immediately. Dino was happy to embarrass Honda by having the Extreme Champion get pinned by the former King Of Dark Champion.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Right Knee Of God (23:34).
*V1 for Yukio Sakaguchi.

KUDO was in attendance to watch his Shuten-dōji brother Yukio Sakaguchi defend the KO-D Openweight Title. The champion hugged KUDO before the match started. Meanwhile Daisuke Sasaki was pushed down to the ring on a trolley by his Golden☆Storm Rider team mates. Sasaki only attempted to do the Vietnam Driver II once in the match but Sakaguchi slipped out of the hold and trapped Sasaki in a Sleeper Hold. Sasaki did catch Sakaguchi with a flash Hurricanrana but it wasn’t enough to get the three count. Sasaki aimed big by setting up an Avalanche Pedigree but Sakaguchi stopped him with some Elbow Strikes that left Sasaki hanging upside down from the turnbuckles by his legs. Sakaguchi climbed the turnbuckles and hit KUDO’s Diving Double Knee Drop! Sasaki somehow kicked out but was put into another Sleeper Hold. Sasaki showed some life when he stuck up his middle finger but Sakaguchi put him away with a Knee Strike to the face, a Jumping Knee to the back and finally the Right Knee Of God in the corner. Sakaguchi celebrated his title defence with KUDO and Masa Takanashi in the ring. His next title defence will be on 28th October against the runner up of the DDT Dramatic General Election.

It was a long, rocky hill to climb but #OhkaEmpire are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! They were the underdogs against Team Drift but Ken Ohka was able to lead his team to victory. Danshoku Dino came out with his hair dyed blonde for the occasion. The title change looked like it wouldn’t happen. Although #OhkaEmpire jumped Drift when the bell rang and Super Sasadango Machine tried to hit the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock three times, Drift stood their ground. Shigehiro Irie looked to be too strong for Ohka but Ohka ducked the Beast Bomber and hit the Spear Of Flame for the upset victory. Later on the new champions confronted Happy Motels to congratulate them on becoming the No. 1 Contenders. Ohka said #OhkaEmpire are a major sports group and they will train hard to defend the titles. Antonio Honda interrupted him with a Stunner. Dino ignored what was going on in the ring so he could have his way with Mao Inoue at ringside.

Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake both entered the ring for their match carrying a drink that was described as Ibushi’s medicine. He consumed it during the match to get an ability boost.

Joey Ryan leaves Japan for now undefeated. He made a friend in Hiroshi Fukuda during his stay. Fukuda told Ryan he is going to be lonely without him and he wrote him a love letter that is also a song that is 16 bars long. Ryan told Fukuda he is his best friend in Japan and they will team again because he will be back in November. When Ryan comes back he wants to face a variety of different wrestlers but none more so than Danshoku Dino.

Toru Owashi did not want any nonsense from Kazuki Hirata today. No goofy glasses, no entrance robe or anything of that sort. Hirata had to go get other gear. Later on Owashi’s own wrestling gear went missing. The only clothing he could find in his locker was a peach costume he used to wrestle in. He had no other choice but to become “Momowashi” once more. It turned out Hirata stole Owashi’s gear and he wore it for the match! At one point Hirata put Owashi in a Stretch Plum just for the sake of making the pun. They later danced to “Tokyo GO!” until Owashi pinned Hirata with a School Boy out of nowhere. Owashi asked afterwards why Hirata stole his gear. Hirata said he found out this month is Owashi’s 15th anniversary in pro wrestling and his 10th anniversary in DDT. Owashi must have forgotten about it. To celebrate Hirata decided to wear Owashi’s gear so he could be more like him. Hirata said Owashi’s bullying has been painful but he still wants them to work hard together going into Owashi’s 11th year in DDT. He gave Owashi his peach helmet back, put on his Hirata GO! glasses and they danced.

Gota Ihashi is free from dark match purgatory once more! Thanks to some help from his Pigging 2015 team mates, Ihashi was able to beat Sanshiro Takagi in the dark match, making Takagi the new King Of Dark Champion! Ihashi threw the belt at Takagi and was so happy that he added himself to the opening match. He then invited Saki Akai to participate in the match to even out the numbers. Akai did not want to take part until Matsunaga revealed that he has her toothbrush. He placed it in Ihashi’s mouth and Akai stormed the ring to kick Ihashi in the face. She went for a Diving Cross Body but Matsunaga dodged and she landed on Makoto Oishi instead. Shunma Katsumata was blinded by blue mist and Ihashi pinned him with a Moonsault to give him a rare two match winning streak. He celebrated by filling his mouth with toothpaste and brushing his teeth with Akai’s toothbrush. He said he was satisfied by the strawberry taste.

Dramatic DDT
