Union 3rd December Results

December 10, 2010

Union, 03/12/10
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
241 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hiro Tsumaki Debut Match: Kento Miyahara defeated Hiro Tsumaki with a Boston Crab (8:27).
2. 4 Way Match: Choun Shiryu defeated 726, Kazuhiko Ogasawara & DJ Nira (8:08).
3. Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data defeated Survival Tobita & Che Qian when Isami pinned Che Qian with the Diving Double Knee Drop (9:20).
4. Yuki Miyazaki & Madoka defeated Cherry & Kengo Ohka when Miyazaki pinned Cherry with a Gedo Clutch (16:25).
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Seiya Morohashi when Irie pinned Morohashi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (17:21).

As part of joining Union on a full-time basis, Sanshiro Takagi has formed his own faction called TKG48. So far Shigehiro Irie and DJ Nira are members along with Takagi. At the end of the show Takagi introduced the fourth member…Muneneori Sawa!

Shigehiro Irie was full of confidence after getting the pinfall in the main event. He recalled losing a match to Shuji Ishikawa over a year ago and challenged him to a rematch in his hometown of Nagoya on 16th January.

The rules for Match #2 had the person getting the pinfall needing to drink an ashtry full of tequila in under five seconds in order to win the match. Everyone involved got a pin at one point or another but Choun Shiryu was the only one to drink the ashtray in one go. After the match, Choun told Union representative Naomi Susan that the promotion has a following in China and that he invited a student of his to come to Japan and try out for Union.

El Generico was announced to appear on Union’s 3rd January show at Korakuen Hall. He will be having a match against the debuting Shinichiro Tominaga.


DDT “NON-FIX 12.1” Results

December 10, 2010

DDT “NON-FIX 12.1”, 01/12/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
207 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hikaru Sato defeated Kazuki Hirata with a German Suplex (7:14).
2. MIKAMI defeated Rion Mizuki with a Horizontal Aussie Suplex Hold (10:50).
3. KUDO & Tanomusaku Toba defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Toba pinned Dino after a Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO (6:44).
4. Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga defeated Takao Soma & Keisuke Ishii by DQ when Soma attacked the referee (9:38).
5. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango defeated HARASHIMA & Yukihiro Abe when Owashi pinned Abe with the Power Bomb (16:51).
6. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Urano pinned Sasaki with a La Magistral Cutback (15:40).

The show began with all of the active members of Belt Hunter X Hunter in the ring. Danshoku Dino asked Hikaru Sato how he was feeling after he lost the KO-D Openweight Title to Dick Togo. Sato said he would work even harder to regain the title. Dino then asked Keisuke Ishii how he felt after losing the Young Drama Cup Final to Takao Soma. Ishii said he will begin a fresh start and is looking forward to the future. They were still upset that their stable, which was built around having champions no matter how coveted or prestigious the titles may be, are now belt-less and feared the group would break up. Masa Takanashi entered the ring to join his stablemates as Dino announced that Belt Hunter X Hunter will go on hiatus to allow everyone to go their own directions and grow as wrestlers before restarting anew.

Dino introduced Makoto Oishi from K-DOJO as his unnannounced Tag Team partner before Match #3. Dino revealed his plans for the future was to make a new MEN’s Club with Oishi as his first signing. Makoto refused the offer, even with Dino trying to give him a welcome kiss. Dino eventually got to kiss Oishi during the match, but he was given a Cutter by his partner which led to a Right Hook from Tanomusaku Toba followed by the Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO to end the match. Dino still offered Oishi a spot in his new MEN’s Club. He even asked KUDO, Toba, Tsurumi Amon & referee Yukinori Matsui to raise their hands if they wanted Oishi to join the group, which they did. Amon then announced that Dino and Oishi will have a match on 26th December with Oishi forced to join Dino’s ‘Club’ if he loses.

Takao Soma betrayed Keisuke Ishii in their match to become the newest member of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. Ishii was about to win their match when he hit Tomimitsu Matsunaga with the Kneel Kick but Soma Dropkicked the ref when he was counting to three, getting themselves disqualified on purpose. Soma gave Ishii a Schwein and then hit him over the head with a small plastic box (similar to the ones used by Kowloon in Michinoku Pro) before posing with his new team mates. Afterwards, Soma demanded to Tsurumi Amon that he should get the KO-D Openweight Title shot at Korakuen Hall for winning the Young Drama Cup. Amon shot down the demand but instead offered Soma a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Championships on 12th December. Soma accepted and chose Matsunaga as his partner. One half of the champions, Daisuke Sasaki came down and confronted Soma only to get attacked by the Foundation until Antonio Honda ran down to make the save.

Toru Owashi requested Match #5 to take place as his stay in DDT will soon draw to a close. He encouraged Yukihiro Abe to give it his all in what could be their final encounter against each other. Despite having HARASHIMA as his partner on this night, they couldn’t get past the mountain team of Owashi & Hoshitango. After the match, Owashi challenged the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation to put their Trios Triple Crown on the line against Disaster-BOX on 26th December.

The GRANMA duo of Yasu Urano & GENTARO gain some momentum as they prepare for their upcoming KO-D Tag Team Title shot. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation made their presence felt again, this time attacking Honda after the match. However, the GRANMA stable came to the rescue with Dick Togo and Antonio Honda teaming together to get rid of Michael Matsunaga with a Double Super Kick.
