[Lisergic]

Michael Nakazawa announced today that he will soon leave DDT. He will be emigrating to Singapore in January next year to become a Japanese and English speaking instructor for a gym. However he will return for one final match in DDT when they run the Saitama Super Arena in February. Nakazawa decided it is a good business opportunity for him as he approaches turning 40 years old. However he is saying nothing in regards to actually retiring from pro wrestling. In fact he may get to be involved with any plans DDT has to expand into Singapore next year. Nakazawa’s final match will be against Danshoku Dino in a special match between the two.

Nooooooooooo

Nakazawa’s final match will be against Danshoku Dino in a special match between the two.

Per questo farò un comeback modello quello dei Mineral e lo guarderò assolutamente. Potrebbe uscire qualcosa di leggendario.

6. Open the Twin Gate Championship Match: T-Hawk{W}, Eita (20:31 Night Ride E.N.D.) CIMA{L}, Gamma
*Osaka06 fail in their 1st Defense, T&E become the 34th champion team

After their match, it was time for the Jimmyz Train to leave the station. Fujii was given a conductors hat and gloves to wear. He announced the train would depart from Korakuen Hall on a non-stop trip to Atami Hot Springs. The whole group performed the Jimmyz Train.

Shimizu had the match won with the Shot-put Slam on Kong, but PT had referee Yagi distracted. This allowed YAMATO to hit Shimizu with a chair. Kong followed with the small package to win. Both sides brawled after. PT received a Shot-put Slam of his own.

Takagi berated Hulk after beating him. Dream Gate champion or not, the results were the same as ever. In a fair fight, Takagi would always win. The same thing would happen in the their title match. Hulk admitted defeat today. But, as a wrestler and as a man he had to beat Takagi at FINAL GATE. He would absolutely defend his title to the death.

T-Hawk proudly boasted about his win to thunderous booing. He ran down Yamamura and Ishida for tending to Osaka 06. If they continued to be attached to old bastards they would put themselves in the path of the Millenials rampage. They were both born in the 90s, so they were welcome in the Millenials. They would be waiting for an answer.

At this point, MUSCULAR COUNTDOWN hit, bringing out Doi, Kzy, and the rest of MAD BLANKEY. He told the Millenials that their match was over, so it was time for them to shut up and leave. T&E protested. Kong gave Eita a Pineapple Bomber while T-Hawk was on the receiving end of the go 2 hospital II from YAMATO. CIMA & Gamma tossed them from the ring, and told Doi to continue. Doi unveiled the latest edition of Miracle Doi Darts. He spent hours in secret on the rooftop of the hospital during his rehabilitation creating the board. As always, children were chosen from the crowd to throw darts that would select the teams for a special 10 man tag at the final Korakuen of the year. The teams picked were:

Blue corner: Gamma, Shachihoko BOY, Don Fujii, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Kanda
Red corner: Kenichiro Arai, Punch Tominaga, Yosuke♡Santa Maria, CIMA, Yuga Hayashi

However, that wasn't the only board he made. This one featured the names of all the wrestlers not currently aligned with a unit. CIMA & Gamma were on both separately and together as Osaka06. Doi explained that MAD BLANKEY has had some bad luck lately, all of which was BxB Hulks' fault. So to help bolster their ranks, whoever was hit on this board would have to join MAD BLANKEY. CIMA protested both the large amount of spots he occupied alone, and the Osaka06 spots. Doi said that the power of Doi Darts was absolute. If CIMA declined the result he would have to retire. CIMA had mouths to feed at home, so he couldn't possibly retire. Doi wanted three new members, so three more kids were called upon to throw darts. Selected were K-ness, and then Osaka06. That was three members, but so as not to disappoint the kid that hadn't thrown yet they decided to let her take her turn. The crowd chanted loudly for Don Fujii, and in another Doi Darts Miracle the dart landed on his spot. CIMA only had one thing to say. He fucking hates Tokyo. He couldn't wait to get back home to Osaka. Gamma agreed that Osaka was the best city in Japan. Fujii said it must be fate that his MB entry coincided with his hair cut. Bald Don Fujii would run wild. K-ness said that the spirit of Darkness Dragon still lived inside of him, and he would unleash it as a MAD BLANKEY member. He also promised a yellow mask. The new MAD BLANKEY closed out the show promising to wreak havoc on DRAGON GATE.

*V7 for HARASHIMA.

DDT ends 2014 with a sold out crowd at Korakuen Hall and a cleared path on the road to Saitama Super Arena next February. In the main event HARASHIMA put the KO-D Openweight Title on the line against Shigehiro Irie, the last member of Team Dream Futures to go through in his current title reign. Irie was fueled by his desire to get revenge for his friends but as always HARASHIMA’s training meant the champion came out on top. After the match Irie still wanted HARASHIMA to apologise to Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao but they pulled him away from the ring. HARASHIMA described Irie as a dangerous opponent and he was so strong that it was almost cheating. But he was still better. Kota Ibushi then entered the ring and faced off with HARASHIMA. Ibushi simply said “It’s been a long time. Saitama Super Arena. Thank you.”

Happy Motel is still accepting vacancies. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo scored their 4th successful defence of the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Shuten-dōji. The champs were able to get rid of KUDO and isolate Yukio Sakaguchi inside the ring. A short range Lariat from Takeshita, the Sky Twister Press from Endo and then a German Suplex from Takeshita was enough to put away Sakaguchi. Takeshita thanked Shuten-dōji after the match for their challenge. He and Endo are committed to be the future of DDT. Amon Tsurumi then approached the champs to give them a message. He has a world class tag team to challenge them at Saitama Super Arena… Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi! Endo said he will be ready to fight them and Takeshita said he wants to German Suplex Sekimoto!

Hikaru Sato wrestled in DDT again for the first time in 11 months as part of the finale of Michael Nakazawa’s farewell series. Unfortunately the match only lasted 30 seconds. Nakazawa took the quick loss in his stride and posed for a commemorative photo with the other wrestlers who just wanted to get the entire thing over with. Nakazawa gave a goodbye speech while the other wrestlers ignored him and walked to the back. Nakazawa then stopped himself and said he didn’t want to go out this way. This was not just Nakazawa’s farewell, it was the Nuru Nuru Brothers, Belt Hunter x Hunter and Shit Heart ♥ Foundation reuniting for one last time! “Please cooperate in making my memories! Ring the bell!” The match restarted and Nakazawa was attacked by Sato and Masa Takanashi, who were yelling “Thank you for the memories!” as they stomped him. Tomomitsu Matsunaga rallied the fans behind Nakazawa. Unfortunately in the end Nakazawa was put away by Sato’s Cross Armbreaker submission. After the match Sato told Nakazawa he hopes if Nakazawa ever comes back from Singapore he will have transformed into a new wrestler.

The Golden☆Storm Riders audition reached its conclusion as four men had to battle Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki in order to gain acceptance into the stable. Shunma Katsumata was the first eliminated when Sasaki tapped him out. The most notable contestant was Chinsuke Nakamura, a Shinsuke Nakamura impersonator. Ibushi and Chinsuke went at it in a preview of Ibushi’s upcoming Tokyo Dome match with the real Nakamura. Ibushi eliminated Chinsuke when he countered the Boma Ye into a gentle Last Ride Power Bomb. Suguru Miyatake and former member Gota Ihashi were left and fought their hearts out until Ibushi pinned Miyatake and called an end to the audition. Even though Ihashi was the sole survivor, Miyatake was picked as the winner! Ibushi then admitted he made up his mind before the audition even begun and it didn’t even make sense for the audition to happen in the first place! Ihashi complained about the decision but Ibushi knocked him out. Miyatake said he will work hard to live up to the stable’s name. The new Golden☆Storm Riders will challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on 3rd January.

Sanshiro Takagi made it his duty to return the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to DDT from the popstar LiLiCo. Problem is she has Bernard Ackah as her bodyguard and he was instructed to bash anyone who got in her way. LiLiCo also got involved in the match when she could. But Takagi played dirty and pulled down Ackah’s shorts to distract him. He then rolled him over with La Magistral Cradle for the victory. LiLiCo tried to escape with the Iron Man Title but she was cut off at every corner by different wrestlers and carried back to the ring. Takagi asked for the belt once more but LiLiCo then attacked him with it! She yelled that she will be the eternal champion but then there was a blackout. When the lights came on Yoshihiko was perched on the top turnbuckle behind her! When she turned around Yoshihiko dove onto her and pinned her to win the title back for DDT! LiLiCo fled in a panic while Ackah apologised to her over and over. Ackah also said he wanted another match with Takagi. He underestimated him and said Takagi fought strong rather than fought dirty. He now understands that he must study more about wrestling to combat Takagi’s style.

Makoto Oishi scored a big victory over Akito, making the DDT Extreme Champion tap out. Obviously this makes Oishi the next challenger for the title. He is fine wrestling Akito in any match Akito can think of, especially if it involves idols.

Once again Kazuki Hirata’s Magnum mask went missing before his match. This time it was Antonio Honda who stole it and did the Magnum TOKYO entrance to make Hirata jealous.

Crazy & President will reunite for “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015” to take part in a Super TLC Match! Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai will face two mystery wrestlers in a match that involves 10 Tables, 3 Ladders and 100 Chairs!

Three more DDT wrestlers will turn into gender-swapped characters for the Ring☆Dream web browser game. The new additions are HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi and Yoshihiko. HARASHIMA and Sakaguchi were both impressed with their characters. Sakaguchi said his one is a good woman while HARASHIMA called his character healthy looking. Yoshihiko’s character is described as a beautiful girl but as you can see above, it’s pretty creepy.

[Geno]

HARASHIMA difficilmente potrebbe battere pure Kota. Probabile perda con lui

[TJ]

Ho finito solo adesso Pain Limit e... che dire, una delusione.
Opener skippato.
La prima semi... beh, se il buon giorno si vede dal mattino, qui già si poteva intuire che il manco il resto fosse granchè. Non per colpa di Tsukamoto, chiaramente, nonostante con la maschera stia malissimo secondo me, sembra Violento Jack.
Kasai vs. Takeda bello, ma mi aspettavo decisamente di più.
Masaoka MVP della serata, quello Springboard Moonsault :sbav: Assolutamente è il suo DM ad essere MOTN a mani bassissime, meglio dei tre incontri validi per il torneo, il che la dice lunga sulla qualità dello show, bah.
Chissene solito match comedy dei Brahman.
Vince Winger Certo che i suoi anni li porta bene solo esteticamente eh, riuscire a fare due DM uno peggio dell'altro contro due Junkies è un'impresa non da poco.
Tutta la finale in generale Se la si paragona con le finali degli altri anni, quelle con Masada, ne esce con le ossa rotte in maniera imbarazzante.

Dell'evento di Yokohama, sempre FREEDOMS, ho visto solo Kasai vs. Masaoka, davvero buono, peccato per il pubblico di merda. Daisuke che spacca la fila di neon con la manata m'ha fomentato e non poco. La nuova variante della finisher di Jun spacca, però inizia ad infastidirmi il copione dei suoi ultimi DM, sempre lo stesso: prima parte troppo lenta e lunga, dominata da lui, in quanto campione, leggenda, ecc... poi comeback dell'avversario che tanto alla fine a meno di clamorosi colpi di scena perde.

Di Bloody Xmas, che mi auguro di gustarmi al più presto, c'ho hype per Kodaka vs. Masaoka e per il ME, sperando in dei minutaggi adeguati.

*Jimmyz fail in their 2nd Defense, Dia HEARTS become the 52nd champion team

Hulk & Takagi had the customary pre-main event interview after match two. Takagi said that the time for the decisive fight had arrived. This match wasn't a "contemporaries clash" or even a part of the normal unit warfare. This was a fight for him as a pro wrestler and as a man. This was the 15th anniversary for DRAGON GATE, and his own 10th anniversary. He couldn't think of a better way to close out such a milestone year. He asked the fans for their support in his quest to destroy BxB Hulk and take his title. Hulk talked about leaving Hokkaido 10 years ago. It was a long road, but he finally captured the Dream Gate title. There was one item left on his wishlist, to defeat Shingo Takagi. He asked the fans to lend him their strength to help him accomplish it.

Flamita refused to accept the Brave Gate title belt after the DQ. He threw it down, and stormed off by himself. The rest of the Millenials were baffled by this sudden act.

[casper-21]

Cambio di titolo per le Twin Gate Belts.
I giovani però mi sembrano ancora allo stesso livello di quando li ho lasciati, non ho visto alcun miglioramento. Soprattutto Takuya Tomakomai, che era quello da cui ci si attendeva di più per il futuro.

Ah, l'audio del pubblico lo tengono troppo basso.

Per me Big R Shimizu, tra i giovani, è quello che spacca. Non sto seguendo il live, poi guardo con calma, ma nei big show l'atmosfera sta stando sempre moscetta, non so se sia questione dei volumi.

[casper-21]

Secondo me è più una questione di microfoni che altro, perché anche le grosse arene le riempiono sempre, e in sottofondo la gente si sente, però sembra come ad un volume basso.

Hulk retains. Molto buono il main event, gli han dato 35 minuti; sono stati in grado di trasmettere la rivalità tra i due, e sono stati in grado anche di farci credere che Shingo potesse vincere. Soprattutto dopo la made in japan in pieno collo, pensavo l'avesse ucciso. Non capisco se l'infortunio al polso di BxB è reale o un work.

[Lisergic]

Aspettavo l'attendane ma non esce.

*4th Defense

Hulk & Takagi had the customary pre-main event interview after match two. Takagi said that the time for the decisive fight had arrived. This match wasn't a "contemporaries clash" or even a part of the normal unit warfare. This was a fight for him as a pro wrestler and as a man. This was the 15th anniversary for DRAGON GATE, and his own 10th anniversary. He couldn't think of a better way to close out such a milestone year. He asked the fans for their support in his quest to destroy BxB Hulk and take his title. Hulk talked about leaving Hokkaido 10 years ago. It was a long road, but he finally captured the Dream Gate title. There was one item left on his wishlist, to defeat Shingo Takagi. He asked the fans to lend him their strength to help him accomplish it.

Flamita refused to accept the Brave Gate title belt after the DQ. He threw it down, and stormed off by himself. The rest of the Millenials were baffled by this sudden act. It was clear that PT considered this result to be a victory.

YAMATO boasted to the Fukuoka fans after his title win. He quickly changed the subject to Osaka06. YAMAKong had all of MB seconding them, but CIMA & Gamma were conspicuous by their absence. He asked K-ness about their status. K-ness said it was a bit difficult to control them, but he was working on it. Osaka06s' theme hit, bringing them out. After a brief stare down, they exchanged handshakes with YAMATO & Kong! CIMA said they had no intention of going against the fate that the darts decided. In fact, they were quite enjoying themselves. At Korakuen, they refused the handshake. But after seeing YAMAKong take the titles today, their doubts were eased. They were ready to fight alongside them. CIMA went on to say that with Doi out, YAMATO was clearly the top member of the unit. He asked YAMAKong to lend him their power for the sake of demolishing the Millenials. They were happy to oblige, assaulting the Millenials and tossing them from the ring. YAMATO said with the former Veteran Zombies firmly on board, the new MAD BLANKEY was going full speed ahead. He brought up the 5 vs. 5 match scheduled for the January Korakuen. Flamita walked out on them earlier, and now he was nowhere to be found at ringside during an important match. Maybe the Millenials wouldn't even have 5 members to fight. He said in 2015, the newborn MAD BLANKEY would continue to rule the ring.

Takagi was silent in the post match, He quietly passed his challenger key to Hulk, then departed. Hulk told him that the difference in skill between them was as close as it has ever been. He knew they would fight again, and he would be ready for it. He thanked the Fukuoka fans for their support, as it was a great source of power for him. He was in an intense amount of pain due to an apparent shoulder injury, so the other DH members chipped in on the closing speech. Shimizu said that winning his first title brought him another step closer to becoming the most powerful fighter. Mochizuki said he would continue to fight hard as he turns 45 in the coming year. He almost mentioned that he still wanted to add one more member to DH. Hulk thanked the fans for their support in 2014, and promised 2015 would be even more exciting.
