DDT “PROGRESS AND HARMONY OF WRESTLING”, 17/08/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Wrestling Style Vs Van: BiS Vs DPG
2. All Night Nippon GOLD Personality Battle Royal: Sanshiro Takagi Vs X
3. Idol Lumberjack 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi (Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～) Vs Yuko Miyamoto (LinQ) Vs Winner of 6/7 Up Up Girls Match (Up Up Girls)
4. Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi

Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi is confirmed as the main event for Night 1. This event is more of a entertainment variety show rather than a typical pro wrestling show (which DDT doesn’t do that often at Sumo Hall anyway).

The Idol Lumberjack 3 Way Match is exactly what it sounds like. Each idol group will represent a wrestler and then surround the ring as the lumberjacks. They will be armed with weapons and are allowed to attack anyone who leaves the ring. Any wrestler who comes into physical contact with an idol will be immediately disqualified. Makoto Oishi and Yuko Miyamoto are two of the confirmed participants. The third will be decided in a match between Sanshiro Takagi and Isami Kodaka that takes place on 14th July. So far the idol groups involved are Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～ on Oishi’s side, LinQ on Miyamoto’s side and the Up Up Girls siding with the remaining wrestler.

The Battle Royal is sponsored by the All Night Nippon GOLD radio programme.

The opening contest involves two male music groups that Hiroshi Fukuda has some association with.

Mita Sayako from Samurai! TV and Ryota Yamasato from Nankai Candies are the two hosts for the show. Other artists and personalities scheduled to appear are Tetsu Watanabe (Antonio Honda’s father), Kenji Sakaguchi (Yukio Sakaguchi’s brother), Kenji Otsuki and Jun Retsu.

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013”, 18/08/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – “Research Group” Battle Royal: Guangming (c) Vs
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs 2013 King Of DDT Winner

Guangming is a large framed autograph from artist Akihiro Miwa and it is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Guangming is also currently in possession of a Research Institute Group and most likely won’t show up at another wrestling event before this show. So it’s probably safe to say the painting will stay as champion until the show takes place. Unless DJ Nira sneaks into the building with a hammer.

That's....kind of huge.

Harashima won King of DDT and gets the KO-D title shot by the way.

I wonder if Okada beats Devitt does that become an IWGP Title match.

Shigehiro Irie will enter Sumo Hall to a live performance of his theme song, “Tachimukau” by Kenji Ohtsuki.

Sanshiro Takagi has inserted himself into the Idol Lumberjack Match by convincing singer Eri Nitta to be in his corner. As mentioned before, the role of the idols is to attack anyone who leaves the ring during the match. However, if any of the wrestlers attack an idol they will be immediately disqualified.

Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita will also feature Saki Akai and Ayumi Goto. A half Swedish half Japanese singer named LiLiCo will be the special ring announcer.

I don’t know if Match #2 is a wrestling match or a musical contest, since Pour Lui is a J-pop idol from the BiS group. Then again she has Jun Kasai in her corner so that evens things out.

6. Monster Army Vs Sakaguchi Home: Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata (w/ Kenji Sakaguchi) defeated Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Yuji Hino & Hoshitango (w/ Tetsu Watanabe) when Sakaguchi knocked out Honda with the Rear Naked Choke (12:38).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano when Irie pinned KUDO with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (14:22).
8. The Main Event: Kota Ibushi defeated Danshoku Dino with the Phoenix Splash (20:59).

Day 1 of the Sumo Hall doubleshot has been a success for DDT. The main event had Kota Ibushi defeating Danshoku Dino. After the match both men hugged and Dino asked Ibushi why he wrestles. Ibushi said because it is fun. Dino said it was an amazing coincidence because he thinks its fun too. He then asked why Ibushi is in DDT. Ibushi said its because he loves DDT. In another amazing coincidence Dino agreed.

Kenji Sakaguchi and Yukio Sakaguchi brought along handcuffs with the intention of arresting Antonio Honda for stealing their father’s ring robe while Yukio’s team went to war with the Monster Army. Kenji also proved to be an equalizer for his team, cutting off interference from Tetsu Watanabe during the finish. Yukio Sakaguchi choked out Antonio Honda to win the match. When Honda recovered he saw the error of his ways, apologised and accepted his arrest. However, Watanabe took responsibility for Honda’s actions and requested to be arrested too. Kenji felt pity for the them and offered to have a drink with them when they are released from prison in two or three days time.

Each of the idols involved in the Lumberjack match got to perform before the match. They were also given weapons for their lumberjack roles including a Piko Piko hammer (those large, hollow, plastic hammers), a megaphone and a harisen (large paper fan). One of the idols even began headbutting the wrestlers when they left the ring. There was a scent of collusion in the air when Makoto Oishi, Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto joined together to gang up on Sanshiro Takagi, hit each of their finishers on him and then all pinned him at the same time. Takagi threw a fit after the match screaming it wasn’t fair until his own idol Eri Nitta slapped him back to normal.

The DRESSCAMP match badly needed an appearance from Milano Collection AT. The entrance ramp was used as a fashion runway where Kenny Omega, Konosuke Takeshita, Saki Akai and Ayumi Goto all modelled in their costumes before the match.

Yoshihiro Takayama & MIKAMI Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga contained interference of the kaiju kind. Before the match took place, MIKAMI and Yoshihiro Takayama were seen training together. They received a cryptic message, “Do not approach the Kitagawa.” Curious, Takayama travelled over to an apartment in Kitagawa where he was greeted by an Alien Metron warning him that he will attack DDT! Back in Sumo Hall, the Metron arrived during the match ready to cause havoc until Ultra Seven came to the rescue and chased it away. Back in the ring MIKAMI pinned Nakazawa with the 450 Splash. Ultra Sevin joined Takayama and MIKAMI in the ring afterwards and told them to fight for peace on Earth and DDT.

Hiroshi Fukuda performed with his DPG band but when his opponent Pour Lui tried to do the same he cut her off, saying nobody wanted to listen to her boring singing. This pissed off Lui’s cornerman Jun Kasai and he made sure to get involved in the match whenever he could, culminating in him giving Fukuda the Pearl Harbour Splash after a ref bump. Lui then got to perform with her group BiS after the match. DPG joined in as back up dancers while Fukuda ran off crying.

By winning the battle royal, Sanshiro Takagi won a guest spot on a future episode of All Night Nippon.

Muscle Sakai was in charge of producing the intro video. It ended with a message reminding fans that MUSCLE will return in the year 2030.

The event will be broadcasted on the TV Tokyo terrestrial station on 29th September.

[Tainted Eclipse]

Okada/Ibushi was alright. Actually got off to a really good start then just settled into one of those puro matches where they're just trading moves without it being particularly interesting, excepting one really neat dive from Ibushi. Decent home stretch and a pretty neat ending. I do wish when Okada does those Rainmaker spots that he'd make his opponents actually duck instead of just aiming too high.
