Dramatic DDT

DDT “THINKING OF SUMMER VACATION 2010”
29/08/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Singles Match: Kenny Omega Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
2. KO-D Tag Team Title, 3 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) Vs Suicide Boyz (MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba) Vs Shiro Koshinaka & X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

The three big matches for DDT’s return to Korakuan Hall are set. HARASHIMA gets his first defence of the KO-D Openweight Title by taking on Daisuke Sasaki. The former Italian 4 Horsemen member won a four man tournament at the end of Beer Garden week to earn his title shot. Since the Horsemen disbanded, Sasaki found himself grouped with DDT’s rookies. A good performance against HARASHIMA might bring him up to the next stage of his career.

The team behind the “Greatest Title Run Ever” ™ faces its toughest challenge yet. Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa put their KO-D Tag Team Championships on the line in a Three Way match featuring one of DDT’s most established tag teams. The Suicide Boyz of MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba became the No. 1 Contenders by winning the Tag Team Gauntlet at Sumo Hall and have already held the DDT Tag belts twice together. If that wasn’t enough of a challenge for Takagi & Sawa, the second team will be made up of Hip Attack master Shiro Koshinaka and a mystery partner. The champs already have a victory over Koshinaka, when he teamed with Mammoth Honda at Beer Garden. This time Koshinaka might have a trick up his sleeve. I can’t confirm it but I think earlier today Danshoku Dino expressed great interest in teaming with Koshinaka. I wonder why…

The Jr. Heavyweight relationship between DDT and New Japan brings us a rematch from this year’s Best Of The Super Juniors. Kenny Omega came out of the tournament with some big wins, including one over Ryusuke Taguchi. Now Taguchi is heading over to DDT to avenge that loss. Personally, I am hoping that matches like these will eventually lead to an Apollo 55 Vs Golden Lovers IWGP Tag Title match somewhere down the line.
