Sato & Sawa’s German Adventure, Kenny Goes To Ice Ribbon

January 17, 2011

Both Hikaru Sato and Munenori Sawa were in Germany during the weekend for two Westside Xtreme Wrestling shows. On the same night Daisuke Sekimoto became the new wXw Unified World Champion, Sato & Sawa teamed up to challenge Bad Bones & Carnage for the wXw World Tag Team Titles. The BattlArts–Pancrase pair worked well together but failed to win the belts from the duo known as the Oberhausen Terror Corps.

The next night both Sato and Sawa competed in the second annual Ambition shoot style tournament. Both men got past the first round and faced each other in the semi-final where Sawa got the better of Sato. Unfortunately for Sawa, he was defeated in the final.

Speaking of wXw, the company will be holding its major 16 Carat Gold tournament in March. Several Japanese talent will be competing both in tournament and seperate matches. So far the puro scene is represented by Yoshihito Sasaki, Kotaro Suzuki and Go Shiozaki, with Sekimoto taking part in non-tournament bouts. There are still some announcements left to make, so if any DDT related talent get announced I will post it here.

Omega Wins Snowball Fight

January 17, 2011

Sportiva Entertainment “SPORTIVA ARENA WARS”, 16/01/2011
Sportiva Arena

Kenny Omega defeated Akito with the Croyt’s Wrath (15:02).

While DDT was over in Nagoya they brought in a few wrestlers from Sportiva Entertainment to take part in their event. Sportiva returned the favour by inviting Kenny Omega over to have a match against Akito. Well, the winter weather outside was too tempting for Omega and Akito and they fought out of the ring and left the arena to continue their match outside in the snow. Snowballs were thrown but a 20 count was still in place so the two had to return to the ring. Akito came close to beating Omega with an Anklelock and a Gutwrench Power Bomb but Omega tapped those buttons fast to break out of his groggy state. One Hadouken and Croyt’s Wrath later, Omega had his hand raised as the winner. Omega told Akito to “Please keep going, please keep running” and some day he too could become a champion.
