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.

The Umemura Personal Computer School Offer Match returns with Danshoku Dino facing Kenny Omega. Dino defeated Omega’s BFF Kota Ibushi back in December. Can he make it two for two against the Golden Lovers? Speaking of Ibushi, he will be teaming with HARASHIMA and the junior Jr. Heavyweight Mr. #6 to take on the rotten Shit Heart ♥ Foundation.

Irie pinned Ishikawa in the main event of Union’s 3rd December show and is confident he will do it again. Matches #3 and #4 features talent from the Spotiva Entertainment promotion. Yasu Kubota & Hide Kubota have wrestled in DDT in the past. Nori da Funky Shibire-sasu meanwhile is a part time wrestler who is also member of the Hip Hop group nobodyknows+. The two teams for match #3 will be decided by a lottery on the day of the show. It may even lead to the men teaming up to fight the women. Looks like Shinichiro Tominaga is going to be facing a lot of well known names in the near future. Before he goes to wrestle Tigers Mask next month he’ll have to face El Samurai in Nagoya. The opener will be Union Vs New Beijing and yes, the lovely Princess Makoto will be in the corner of the Beijing boys.

LuFisto Has A Message For Ken Ohka

January 9, 2011

LuFisto posted a video on Youtube hyping her upcoming inter-gender match with Ken Ohka in Union on 3rd February. If you ask me, Ohka’s probably going to get killed. I wonder if it is too early to ask for a YOSHIHIKO Vs Pegaboo fight?

The Battle Royal saw Danshoku Dino, Tigers Mask and surprisingly Kazuki Hirata as the final three wrestlers in the ring. Hirata was hung upside down on the turnbuckles by the other two and ignored for the rest of the match. Tigers Mask injured his knee and Dino injured his arm and they eventually had each other in submission holds targeting their vulnerable limbs. They both gave up and the match was rewarded to Hirata, who was still upside down.
