The next couple of weeks is going to be very busy for DDT. Let’s have a look at what is in store for us, shall we?

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiro Tsumaki
2. Rion Mizuki Vs Hiro Tonai
3. Shigehiro Irie Vs Daichi Kazato
4. Akito Vs Kotaro Nasu
5. Keisuke Ishii & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Hiromu Takahashi & Shota
Hiromu Takahashi is one of the latest rookies produced by New Japan Pro Wrestling. Both Ryuichi Sekine and Hiro Tonai are from K-DOJO and Kotaro Nasu comes from Style-E.
DDT “FUNABASHI LEGEND AGAIN 2011”, 20/02/2011
Mitsui Garden Hotel Funabashi Lala Port
1. DJ Nira Vs Kikutaro
2. MIKAMI & KAORU Vs Minoru Fujita & Toshie Uematsu
3. Hikaru Sato, Tanomusaku Toba & Hoshitango Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
4. Dick Togo & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & KUDO
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Kota Ibushi & Keisuke Ishii
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano
GENTARO & Yasu Urano have been on a four match winning streak as a Tag Team since their last KO-D Tag Team Title shot against FROM THE NORTHERN COUNTRY. Meanwhile, Antonio Honda lost the KO-D Title Unification match while Daisuke Sasaki has been on the losing end of Tag matches against the GRANMA group. Does the team of GENTARO and Urano have enough momentum to unseat the champions and become the top duo in DDT?
DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2011”, 27/02/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Keisuke Ishii & Akito Vs MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki
2. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
3. Kota Ibushi Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano
5. ??? Battle Royal: DJ Nira, Tanomusaku Toba, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Danshoku Dino and Kazuki Hirata included so far.
6. No DQ Hair Vs Hair Match: Hikaru Sato Vs Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs HARASHIMA
Four months until Dick Togo calls time on his wrestling career. There are three KO-D Openweight Title defences planned between now and then with Togo retiring a month before the Sumo Hall show. Togo’s next defence is against HARASHIMA, who is gets his first chance at the title since losing it back in November.
No interference is allowed for the Hair Vs Hair match between Hikaru Sato and Takao Soma. We’ll see how Soma fares without having the rest of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation there to help him.
I may be wrong on the translation, but I think the winner of the Battle Royal will get to make his own match for this year’s Sumo Hall event. More entries will be announced eventually.
I have high hopes for Kota Ibushi Vs Shigehiro Irie, this could be a really fun match. Irie has been honing his skills while fighting for TKG48 in their feud with the Union Sekigun and a win against Ibushi would do wonders for his career.
