DDT Beer Garden Night #7 (Aug. 10) – Kenny Omega match details

Sanshiro Takagi (O) vs Kenny Omega (X)
(21:57 Sit down Himawari Bomb) – Sanshiro Takagi retained DDT Extreme Championship

Before match start, ring announcer, Shindoh, explained as this is Anywhere Fall Street Fight style, with no holds barred except things really dangerous.

Kenny entered first. Then Takagi. Both shook hands and match started.

Lockups – break – lockups – Takagi takes back – Kenny’s necklock – Takagi’s necklock. This was the first moves they had. Then Takagi’s shoulder through to armlock to Kenny but Kenny kicked Takagi’s head. Then Kenny’s lockup, Takagi’s headlock, Kenny threw Takagi to the ropes and jumped over Takagi by leapflog, then Takagi fell onto the floor. Referee Matsui describes this leapfrog was the highest leapfrog he has ever seen in his 15 years of referee career.

 

Takagi drag Kenny to Southside bleechers and bodyslamed to cover – count 2. Then clothline to Kenny but also count 2.

Then Takagi screamed “Go to Jusco! (Jusco is a name of Japanese supermarket)” and drag him to outside. They punched several times in front of vending area then Takagi screamed “Go to Shinkiba Station! (nearest train station to the venue)” and drag Kenny out to street. Takagi kicked Kenny, Kenny screamed “Michinoku Driver!” but Takagi blocked. Double Axe handle by Takagi from the topof guardrail, then brawl on the street. Kenny’s moonsalt from the top of guardrail. Then Kenny tried to go back to the ring with screaming “Back to Ring!” but Takagi denied :Go to Station!”.

On their way back to the ring, Takagi delivered Diving Knee Drop from the top of DDT’s van. Kenny escaped left leg to the rear bumper, referee Matsui approved this was “escape”. Then moved back to vending area and Kenny bodyslammed Takagi, place a table on him, and footstamped. Count 2.

They went back to the ramp. Kenny lay Takagi onto the table and delivered diving body press to Takagi. Count 2. Then went back to the ring, Kenny’s flying forearm from the rope, and facecrusher to Takagi. Count 2. Several back-and-forth at apron, then Takagi tried to deliver Thunderfire power bomb but Kenny escaped. Kenny caught Takagi and tried to fall by schoolboy. Count 2. Then after delivered Stop! Enzuigiri, Takagi escaped out of the ring. Then Kenny’s Tope Con Hilo over the top rope to Takagi. This time he landed on the table and broke into pieces. Kenny tried to powerbomb Takagi from the top rope but Takagi blocked. Kenny delivered Hadouken and Takagi was blown away down to the ring. Kenny covered but count 2. Then back to the ring, Takagi delivered powerbomb from the top rope and table was broke into pieces again.

Takagi delivered Thunderfire Power Bomb but count 2. Then Takagi’s Kamehameha (!), then Kenny’s Shinku-Hadouken (yes, Shinku-Hadouken this time). Elbow rush from both side, chop rush from both side, then Kenny tried to deliver Electric Chair German Suplex but Takagi escaped. Takagi delivered StoneCold Stunner but count 2. Then Takagi delivered Sitdown Himawari Bomb and finalized the match with count 3.

 

This is the last match for DDT’s Beer Garden event this year. Kenny’s first match in Japan was just one week ago but he is now very much appreciated by DDT fans. Actually, they are C R A Z Y on him right now. As for huge Omega mark, we are so glad everything went well and he obtained popularity in Japan.
His next match is vs Masa Takanashi on 8/17. Of course we will report details.

8月6日に行われた飯伏幸太vsケニー・オメガの試合後のコメントが入りましたのでお伝えします。

■高木三四郎　コメント
「“史上最高の狂った試合”だった。路上での攻防、リング上の攻防含めてどれもが狂気に満ちてた試合だったと思う。敗れてしまったがケニー・オメガは一夜にして日本のプロレスファンに認知されたと思う。俺様も大いに刺激を受けました。旧路上の王としてのプライドを賭けてケニー・オメガとの日曜日のエクストリーム級のタイトルマッチはストリートファイトエニウェアフォールマッチで戦いたいと思います。もちろん勝ちます。ご期待ください！」

■飯伏幸太　試合後のコメント
「ケニー・オメガは最高の選手ですよ。パワー、スピード、知能、キ●ガイ、ナイスガイ、どれをとってもパーフェクト。間違いないです。本物のリアルプロレスラー。正直、自分の甘さが目立ちました。あと、彼は本当に僕とおなじ匂いがしました！これは！という匂いが。路上だけじゃなくリングの試合も素晴らしい。みちのくドライバーから意識がなくて気がついたらリングだったんですが、今日は声援が凄かったです。今回でわかったのは路上のミチドラは危ないということですね。はい。それと高木社長にも伝説の試合と言っていただきました。サイコー！ケニー・オメガですよ！！」

■ケニー・オメガ　試合後のコメント
「実際にこの試合が始まる前は少し緊張してたんだけど、凄く良い試合ができたと思う。試合を観た人達が喜んでくれて本当に嬉しいよ。飯伏は想像していた通り、本当に素晴らしい選手。それに、今日飯伏と戦ってみて、本当に心の底からわかりあえて良い友達になれたと思う。次はぜひタッグを組んで一緒に暴れまわりたい！」

■ケニー・オオカ　コメント
「今日ケニーと飯伏がＤＤＴ史上というかプロレス史上に残る試合をしました。」

 

Okay, we got comments from Sanshiro Takagi (president of DDT), Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega and Kenny Ohka after the legendary match.

■Sanshiro Takagi

“It was the most craziest match I’ve ever seen. Every move in and out of the ring was totally amazing. Although Kenny lost the match, I believe he gets lots of applause and attention from Japanese fans in just one night. I was so thrilled to watch the match. I will wrestle against Kenny on Sunday with “Street fight-anywhere fall” match for my Extreme Championship as ex.King of out-of-the-ring match. I promise to retain the belt. Everbody, get ready!”

■Kota Ibushi

“Kenny Omega is an AWESOME wrestler! Power, speed, craziness, intelligence – everything is perfect. He is really a nice guy! He is the real Pro-wrestler. I couldn’t keep up with him during the match actually. Also I felt something common between us. It’s like “Yes! That’s it!!” He was great not only out of the ring but in the ring. I lost my memory after Michinoku Driver and then I noticed I was in the ring – now I’m pretty sure Michinoku Driver on the road is very dangerous! Also I noticed fans were crazy as well. I’m so glad Pres. Takagi told me it was legendary match. I love Kenny Omega! He’s great!”

■Kenny Omega

“To be honest with you, I was a little bit nervous before the match as this is the one against Kota Ibushi. But I am so glad that we had a great match tonight. Ibushi is an awesome wrestler as I thought. And I feel we understood each other from the bottom of our heart after this great match and we are now best friends. I want to team up with him and wrestle together!”

■Kenny Ohka

“Ibushi and Kenny did a legendary match tonight. Not only DDT history but whole”

 

DDT announced some of August cards. Here’s the one involving Kenny Omega :

■Aug 4 – 10 “Beer Garden Series” at Shinkiba 1st Ring

■August 4 (Mon) : HERO! & HERO! vs Kenny Omega & Kenny Ohka

■August 6 (Wed) : “Special 2/3 rule”
Kota Ibushi vs Kenny Omega
*Must take 1 fall  in the ring and 1 fall out of the ring to win this match

■August 7 (Thu) : “International Pro-wrestling Match”
Quiet Storm & Kenny Omega vs Choun Shiryu & Kim Nam-Seok

■August 8 (Fri) : “King of Stockholm 2008 Royal Rumble”
Yoshiaki Yago, Antonio Honda, Kenny Omega, Seiya Morohashi, more to be added

■August 9 (Sat) : “Gaijin Rampage”
Gaijin A & Gaijin A vs Yusuke Inokuma & probably Kenny Omega

■August 10 (Sun) : “DDT Extreme Championship”
Sanshiro Takagi (C) vs Kenny Omega

■August 17 (Sun) at Nagoya
Masa Takanashi vs Kenny Omega

 

I guess you like these cards if you know DDT and who they are. No one would doubt vs Ibushi will be MOTY. Also he’s challenging DDT Extreme Championship, which would be another awesome match(hope he wins!). Then you’ll see how he wrestles in typical DDT matches on some dates. As for Masa Takanashi, let me tell you this. If you’re Kenny’s fan, you know he had quite good match against Davey Richards last December. Then, if you’re ROH fan, you know Ibushi had another good match against Davey in April. And if you’re DDT fan, you know Takanashi did wrestle against Davey just 2 weeks ago and I heard it was quite good. That means, vs Takanashi will be another good match as well! Although you’ll never see any ‘bad match’, because it’s Kenny Omega!

As we announced yesterday, we will have detailed report on every match so please check us back.

As you know, we’re huge Kenny Omega mark. Next thing we’ll do is, report how he’s doing in Japan! We’ll have review on his every single match in Japan, plus try to get additional information just like we did for Ibushi back in April. Please check us back for updates
*For those who don’t know, Kenny went to Japan to wrestle Kota Ibushi for a “king of off-ring match”. Ibushi wrestles at bookstores, parks, camping site, punk-rock concert etc and Japanese fans call him king of off-ring match now. Then Kenny claims he also wrestles off-ring, and challenged Ibushi to decide who the “king of off-ring” champion is!

Okay, here’s our report #1.

(blog from Sanshiro Takagi/DDT president)
http://blog.livedoor.jp/t346/archives/52093441.html

“Kenny Omega arrived Japan today and we had dinner together. I was worried how crazy he is but basically he’s okay except mentioning he wants to wrestle at Yoshinoya (beefbowl restaurant).

Anyway I was relieved and took some pictures for this blog but suddenly he was trying to throw Michael Nakazawa by German Suplex. I managed to stop it somehow but I understand why he’s claiming he’s off-ring champ.

Oh, but I think I shouldn’t have stopped it because it’s Michael Nakazawa (LOL)

Also he knew FUCK will have a show at DDT Dojo on 8/3, and asked me if he could see it. I really think he has so many things in common with Ibushi.

I’m so happy to have him this time!”

ケニー・オメガのDDT参戦が決定です。なんでも7月24日発売の東スポにすっぱ抜かれた模様。それを受けて高木三四郎のブログにもその記事について掲載されています。ついにケニー・オメガの野望が現実となるわけで、きっと本人は心の中で破壊王のごとく「時は来た！」と叫んでいるはず。

そして今週末、そのケニー・オメガはROHのトロント大会とデトロイト大会の2連戦に出場します。なんとこれがROH初参戦。初戦の相手はROHレスリングスクールのコーチも務めるデリリアス。果たして波動拳はでてしまうのか？ストップ延髄斬りは炸裂してしまうのか？どう転んでもこのカードは注目なのですが、今回はマンハッタンドロップとしては初の遠征取材を行いたいと思います。と言ってもトロントは無理でして、デトロイト大会の模様をリポートします。乞うご期待。

 You know what?!

管理人の私が言うのも何だが、気がつけばこのブログ内容がネクロ・ブッチャーと飯伏という外見的には似ても似つかない二人だけの特集ブログみたいになっている。外見こそ対照的だが、レスラーの魅力としては共通するものがある、と思う。それは、「ネクロなら、または飯伏なら、これから何か凄いことをしてくれるんじゃないのか」という期待度の高さに他ならない。もっと言うと、プロレス以外でもワクワクさせてくれる何かを持っているという点において、いまのところこの二人はズバ抜けている。ワックワクなのである。

とくに飯伏幸太というレスラーの魅力にやられっぱなしで、小学生のころジャッキー・チェンに狂っていた勢いに近いものがある。ジャッキーがやることは全て肯定みたいなやられっぷり。ぶっちゃけ自分でもどうかしていると思う。週プロのコラムを読んでも分かるように、飯伏独特のホンワカとした何とも言えない脱力な魅力というのも、実際に会って話してみると破壊力が倍増する。もうワックワクのフッニャフニャ。本当にプロレスが好きで好きでしょうがなくて、小学生時代に朝礼台からフェニックススプラッシュをやって肋を折ったり（しかも二回）、高校時代にラグビーをしていたのもプロレスラーになるため、新空手やキックをやっていたのもプロレスラーになるため、というその全てにおいてブレがない。キャッチフレーズ的な意味でではなくて、本当にプロレスをするために生まれてきたんだなあと。

で、高木三四郎大社長の『俺たち文化系プロレス DDT』にも書かれているように、新人の試合ではタブーとされている飛び技を連発する試合を、その技をしっかりとした形でできるのであれば隠す必要なんてないと容認してしまう高木三四郎の懐の深さが半端ないと思った。いまの飯伏はDDT所属だからこそ在るというか、究極の放任主義というか、とにかく高木三四郎がいなければ飯伏幸太はプロレスのゴールデンスターという星のしたに生まれてきたのにもかかわらず、プロレスラーになっていなかったかもしれない。

今回、飯伏のROH参戦に帯同させてもらって感じたことは、飯伏のすごさ以上に高木三四郎のすごさだった。いや、言い過ぎじゃなく本当に。　　　【文・ジュードーチョップ】
