Ken Ohka knows how to keep himself busy when it comes to promoting for Union. He showed up at yesterday’s NEVER.5 show at New Japan to sell tickets for the upcoming DDT and Union shows. He approached an NJPW staff member and passionately begged him for New Japan to use some Union wrestlers for their future shows. He also talked to the person about Tsuyoshi Kikuchi’s campaign to enter this year’s Best Of The Super Juniors tournament. Meanwhile, DDT and Union affiliated wrestlers were part of the NEVER show. Kazuki Hirata, Shigehiro Irie and Daisuke Sasaki all lost their matches but Madoka grabbed a win in the semi-main event.

1. Hiromu Takahashi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Fisherman’s Suplex (6:48).
3. Tomoaki Honma defeated Shigehiro Irie with a Crab Hold (9:37).
4. Ryusuke Taguchi defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Dodon (13:28).
6. Madoka defeated Taichi with a Crucific Hold (9:44).
That isn’t all that Ohka has been up to. He acts as Yoshiaki Yago’s spokesman in SMASH, speaking for him outside of the shows and standing at ringside during his matches. In the lead up to SMASH.14, TAJIRI asked Yago to help him out in dealing with the Triple Tails joshi group of Kana, Mio Shirai & Io Shirai in a 2 On 3 Handicap match. Ohka got himself involved to make it an even Six-Person Tag. Well, that turned out to be a mistake as Ohka lost the match for his team after Kana kicked him full force in the unmentionables and rolled him up for the pin.
