SG Bamboo: Aug 21, 2013; Smile. Win. Yay!

gently caress me this is a massive card, although if it's anything like the last 5 hour show DDT ran it'll be 2 hours of whatever before the back half of the card blows it out of the water. Luckily for me Dramatic DDT has already done a neat writeup so I can just focus on being hyped up about all these sick title matches, even if Dieno continues to somehow have an on camera role he can at least be hidden in a six man tag including my favourite wrestler in the world Kazuki Hirata. Shuji Ishikawa is back in DDT before his upcoming King of DDT appearance and also to have a hoss off with Naya, who seems to be continuing his one man war against Ishikawa's former employer. Also Takeshita is back, fighting All Japan's future ace Yuma Aoyagi. I have to assume he'll be challenging Ueno for the belt if Ueno retains, though saying that i've been thinking Ueno needs a singles win over Take for years now.

Show starts in roughly 13 hours from this post, unfortunately they've announced that there's no English commentary for the show but Ash will be manning the Twitter page to provide promo translations when necessary.

DramaticDDT posted:

Yesterday DDT held a press conference to promote this Sunday�s big show. The main event will determine who really is the strongest in DDT right now. HARASHIMA wants to win the KO-D Openweight Title not to turn back time but to show everyone a new DDT. Yuki Ueno said the previous design of the KO-D belt is in his mind attached to HARASHIMA. However the modern belt design currently belongs to Ueno and by beating HARASHIMA only then will it fit him completely. He wants to be the last one standing so whenever fans see the current KO-D Title design, they think of Ueno. HARASHIMA has never held the modern belt design as champion and thinks it would look cool on him. HARASHIMA pointed out he is over 20 years older than Ueno but that doesn�t mean anything to the champion. Ueno expects HARASHIMA to fight him with all of his might and is confident he will match his challenger�s heart and soul.

The press conference was the last chance for Takeshi Masada to talk back to MAO over recent criticisms. In the leadup to the DDT Universal Title match MAO accused Masada of not loving DDT or pro wrestling enough. Here Masada said he cannot explain in words alone how much DDT and wrestling means to him. Everyone will see just how much he loves it when he wins the Universal Title. MAO took another shot at Masada, saying his response was not a good one. He thinks the other members of SCHADENFREUDE International have shown more love than he does. MAO then explained the way he treats Sanshiro Takagi is done out of love because he is trying to bring Takagi back to his prime days. Masada is only doing this match for the glory, not for the love of it. That was proven when he challenged MAO in the first place. There could be an interesting future the two can build together but instead MAO is going to show no mercy. He has plans to defend the Universal Title around the world no matter the country he travels to or the gender of his opponents. Masada however wants to nominate wrestlers he has previously lost to as his challengers should he become the new champion.

The visiting New Period team are still enjoying their appearances in DDT. They like getting stronger opponents every time they show up and are really pleased to fight the KO-D Tag Team Champions next. Yuma Anzai claimed All Japan�s brand of bright, fun and intense pro wrestling won�t lose this challenge. Ryuki Honda has two goals in mind if they win the titles. New Period wants to elevate the KO-D Tag Titles in AJPW and also draw DDT fans over to All Japan! He then revealed he has recently become friends with Yoshihiko and the doll has told him about all of BURNING�s weaknesses! Tetsuya Endo has a similar idea to Honda because he too wants to defend KO-D championships in other companies this year. He thinks New Period is a great name because it implies a new era is coming. However BURNING are not going to give away their era yet. Yuki Iino talked about taking on training camps by himself for this title match. His team will win to show everyone it is a New BURNING rather than a New Period. After the talking stopped Iino and Honda got into a confrontation at the table when Iino wouldn�t stop chanting �BURNING!� at Honda.

The intern is getting an opponent with a similar pro wrestling background to him. Tsubasa Suzuki is currently in college and participates in the student pro wrestling scene. Soma Takao was part of the same scene before he turned professional. Suzuki would like to believe everything he�s done in the last few years will lead to him getting the win. He has wrestled Takao before and Takao wonders if he has since learned how to tell the difference between college club wrestling and actual pro wrestling. If Suzuki hasn�t then Takao will be happy to teach him the rigors of being a professional. Although Suzuki is only just starting in DDT, he said his goal is to someday win the KO-D Title. He will be entering the upcoming D GENERATIONS CUP and also has a series of trial matches coming up in the future.

So apparently the Powerpoint was about Super Sasadango Machine deciding the match would be more efficient if they both started at 10% (hence Akito taking a gang beating before the match!) to get them down to 0hp faster

I really have no idea of the story behind all this but these guys are FURIOUS and it rules

Ken Ohka and his promotion GanPro have left the DDT umbrella (though are still on WU) and Takagi is a bit miffed about it
