Ibushi In NJPW, TKG48 & Honda In FREEDOMS

February 15, 2011

Kota Ibushi isn’t done with New Japan Pro Wrestling yet. He competed on today’s NJPW event at Korakuen Hall, teaming with KUSHIDA to defeat Jado & Gedo.

NJPW “THE NEW BEGINNING”, 2/15/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,500 Fans

Kota Ibushi & KUSHIDA defeated Jado & Gedo when KUSHIDA pinned Gedo with the Midnight Express (12:24).

There will be some DDT talent appearing at New Japan’s upcoming NEVER event on 24th February. Shigehiro Irie and Kazuki Hirata will be there along with KO-D Tag Team Champion and freelancer, Daisuke Sasaki. Also there will be Union regular and SS Susan member Madoka.

NJPW “NEVER.5”, 2/24/11
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiromu Takahashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Tomoaki Honma Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. Ryusuke Taguchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. Taichi Vs Madoka

It’s only just today that I noticed that FREEDOMS often uses DDT talent for their shows. I shouldn’t be surprised by it as the promotion is run by Takashi Sasaki, who was a DDT wrestler from the company’s very first show until he got the deathmatch bug and joined Big Japan Wrestling somewhere between 2004 and 2005. I often forget when the company holds their shows so I’ll try to keep an eye on them from now on.

Sanshiro Takagi’s stable, the TKG48 entered the promotion in December and started a conflict with the Kojika Army. Last month a match between The Great Kojika & GENTARO against TKG48’s Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Shigehiro Irie had to be constantly restarted because the matches kept on ending in Double DQs. This led to TKG48’s main guns of Takagi & Munenori Sawa coming in to fight Kojika & GENTARO on yesterday’s FREEDOMS show. The stakes were high as a stipulation was added where the wrestler who dropped the fall on the losing team would be banned from ever wrestling in FREEDOMS again. Takagi got the win with a Sanshiro Stunner on the Great Kojika, forcing the veteran out of the company.

Antonio Honda is also a regular participant in FREEDOMS shows and was part of the winning team on yesterday’s show, siding with the devious Brahman Brothers to defeat Ricky Fuji, Keita Yano and a third wrestler who has a name that no one among the puro fansites have been able to figure out yet. I forgot to mention this during the annual contract signings but Antonio Honda let his DDT contract run out a couple of years ago to become a freelancer. As you can see, this didn’t affect his relationship with DDT one bit as he is still a regular name for the company.

2. Antonio Honda, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Ricky Fuji, Keita Yano & ??? when Honda pinned ??? with a School Boy (12:29).
3. Kojika Army Vs TKG48: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated Great Kojika & GENTARO when Takagi pinned Kojika with a Sanshiro Stunner (15:36).

More Shows Coming Up

February 12, 2011

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?

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

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.

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011” Results

February 11, 2011

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011”, 11/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
494 Fans

1. The Decisive Battle!: Liu Bei Ito (w/ Nippon Li) Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Princess Makoto) ended in a No Contest when a Barbarian invasion occured (7:01).
1a. Liu Bei Ito & Cao Zhang defeated Meng Hiroshi & Bone Hiroshi when Zhang pinned Bone Hiroshi with the Leg Capture Power Bomb (5:15).
2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!: Ranjei Lee & Jet Bar defeated Dragon Achoooo! & Zhou Yu when Ranjei Lee pinned Zhou Yu with the Shining Wizard (11:35).
3. Opium War!?: Golden Horn & Silver Horn defeated Queen Elizabeth & Statue Of David when Silver Horn pinned Queen Elizabeth with the Buzzsaw Kick (8:15).
4. National Scramble For The Imperial Seal!: King Andui Qin defeated Great Slave No. 643, Megumi Shin Akira Ra Nuruhachi, Emperor Qin and Zen Liu (12:08).
5. Rushi’s Last Play: Choun-Shiryu, Rushi Togo & Young Master Togo defeated Hazime Hutoshi, Somato & Giant Boshoku when Choun-Shiryu pinned Giant Boshoku with the Chinese Gory Special (15:21).

It truly was Rushi Togo’s Last Play. Before the match, Young Master Togo (Kenny Omega) approached Choun-Shiryu showing concern for his master. Rushi Togo (Dick Togo) was clearly looking the worst for wear, coughing up blood and weezing heavily. Somato (HARASHIMA) on the other hand had no such problems with his health. In fact, he performed a sword swallowing trick before the match began, using Hazime Hutoshi’s (GENTARO) sword. Despite fears over the old man’s health, Rushi looked fine in the ring until his body gave out on him after leaping off the turnbuckles. His team were at a disadvantage from there on out but they heroicly fought back. However, it was clear Togo’s body could not handle the stress. Togo used all of his remaining strength to do a Double Hadouken with his protege to Giant Boshoku (Shuji Ishikawa), knocking the big man off his feet and allowing Choun-Shiryu to finish him off with the Chinese Gory Special. The victory was bittersweet, Roshi Togo sacrificed himself so his side would win the battle.

The Statue Of David (Seiya Morohashi) spent most of Match #3 standing in the centre of the ring while Golden Horn (Brahman Shu) & Silver Horn (Brahman Kei) destroyed Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth wore lingerie and was stoned out of her mind on opium. Never thought I would write that sentence (actually, that would be a lie). Anyway, David wouldn’t budge after crotch flicks, fingers jammed up his backside and even having worms smudged into his face. A face full of wasabi sauce almost did the job but some ice cold water to the crotch finally got the statue moving. Unfortunately for the Horns, it made David Hulk up and take control of the match. When a powder attack backfired, David assumed his position and left Elizabeth at the Horns’ mercy. There wasn’t much of it as they repeatedly threw powder in her face, spat the Mist at her and knocked her out with a Buzzsaw Kick.

The Decisive Battle looked to be in Liu Bei Ito’s (Ryubi Ito) favour when suddenly one of the New Beijing warriors ran to the ring with an arrow sticking out of his back. He was crying for help before losing conciousness. His warning came too late, an invasion occured when two barbarians named Meng Hiroshi & Bone Hiroshi entered the arena and attacked both Ito & Cao Zhang (Akito). They then kidnapped Nippon Li (Nikkan Lee) & Princess Makoto (Er…Makoto). The match was quickly turned into a tag team bout with the warriors of the Wei & Shu factions suddenly becoming allies. Ito used his folding chair while Zhang using his Golden Tonkachi Hammer to defeat the invading duo and rescue their women from the Barbarians’ clutches. The two proud warriors looked as if they would shake each other’s hands after the match but instead, they both slapped each other across the face. After all, they are still from rival factions and the battle between them did not have a winner.

Kenny Omega stripped down to a Danshoku Dino style rainbow thong during his match with Michael Nakazawa. This was to combat Nakazawa’s habit of stripping down to a thong during his comebacks.

Two of the main events for the upcoming 6th March tripleshot were announced. Cruiser’s Game will have MIKAMI & The Great Sasuke teaming up to face Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku. As a reward for winning the Battle Royal at the end of January, Keisuke Ishii will host his own show. He will be against Takao Omori in the main event of that card.

A match that will have repercussions on this year’s Sumo Hall event will take place at the next Korakuen Hall show. Danshoku Dino, Tanomusaku Toba, DJ Nira and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi are among those involved but what kind of match it will be was not revealed.

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011”, 11/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. The Decisive Battle!: Liu Bei Ito (w/ Nippon Li) Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Princess Makoto)
2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!: Dragon Achoooo! & Zhou Yu Vs Ranjei Lee & Jet Bar
3. Opium War!?: Queen Elizabeth & Statue Of David Vs Golden Horn & Silver Horn

5. Rushi’s Last Play: Choun-Shiryu, Rushi Togo & Young Master Togo Vs Hazime Hutoshi, Somato & Giant Boshoku

The stories for each match aswell as who wrestles as who in New Beijing are reposted below.

1. The Decisive Battle!
Back in China, New Beijing has a popular feud between two factions, the Wei faction and the Shu faction. Every year, one wrestler from each faction is chosen to take part in a big match known as the “Northern Expedition Derby“. However, to commemorate China recently becoming recognised as the second largest economy in the world New Beijing decided to have the match take place on their Japan tour instead.

2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!
Some of China’s biggest stars from the silver screen gather together in Shin-Kiba to enjoy a dream contest.

3. Opium War!?
Centuries ago, China was notorious for importing of opium across the world. It was a lucrative market for the nation, but as more and more of the global population fell ill or became degenerates due to opium addiction, China was banned from any further attempts at shipping the drug. However, opium was still smuggled outside of the country which helped grow a large black market. The illegal opium trafficking led to conflict between China and Great Britain, with a newly formed discipline committee deciding to ease tensions by having both countries compete against each other in a wrestling match. A wrestling match that happens to involve Queen Elizabeth and the Statue Of David.

4. National Scramble For The Imperial Seal!
The Imperial Seal has been handed down from generation to generation as proof of the holder’s right to be master of the world. A state of emergency in 2010 took place when the Seal went missing. This led to the sudden collapse of New Beijing Pro Wrestling. Now leaders from around the world travel to China in search of the ancient artifact and claim the absent throne. In an unexpected turn of events, word spread that the Imperial Seal was found in Japan. Now an epic battle takes place as several warriors go to war over who the artifact belongs to.

5. Rushi’s Last Play
With his retirement on the horizon, Rushi Goto takes part in one last performance. But while one legend prepares to leave wrestling, a new generation of warriors are eager to rake his place.

Rushi Togo = Dick Togo
Young Master Togo = Kenny Omega
Hazime Hutoshi = GENTARO
Somato = HARASHIMA
Giant Boshoku = Shuji Ishikawa
Great Slave No. 643 = Sanshiro Takagi
Megumi Shin Akira Ra Nuruhachi = Michael Nakazawa
Dragon Achoooo! = KUDO
Zhou Yu = Konaka Pale One
Ranjei Lee = Lingerie Muto
Jet Bar = Tanomusaku Toba
Liu Bei Ito = Ryuji Ito
Nippon Li = Nikkan Lee
Princess Makoto = Makoto

Union Card For March

February 6, 2011

UNION, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Hikaru Sato
2. Shuji Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Mashimo & Madoka
3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Princess Makoto)

Tensions are building up in Union coming out of their recent show. The Union Sekigun now have to contend with two opposing groups, the TKG48 and the newly named SS Susan, who can also be referred to as the Susan Guard. The new threat consists of Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Mashimo and Madoka who all claim that they were hired to be Naomi Susan’s bodyguards. Union and TKG48 seem to be willing to put aside their differences for the moment so they can take on a common enemy. Sanshiro Takagi has allowed Shuji Ishikawa and Seiya Morohashi to rent Tsuyoshi Kikuchi as their partner for the upcoming 6-Man Tag match against the SS Susan.

The biggest match coming out of Union’s next show will be Isami Kodaka’s first defence of the DDT Extreme Title. His opponent is Cao Zhang from New Beijing Pro Wrestling, who has been on a roll in Union ever since Choun-Shiryu brought him over to Japan. Part of their success comes in the seductive form of Princess Makoto who has distracted referees during their matches. Another part of their success is a giant mallet they use to whack their opponents with once the ref’s back in turned. What kind of match the title will be contested under is unknown right now but expect Makoto and the giant mallet to come into play whether they will be allowed to or not.

So far Shinichiro Tominaga has spent his time in Union taking on accomplished wrestlers such as El Generico, El Samurai and Tigers Mask. The trend continues when Tominaga will take on Hikaru Sato in what will be Sato’s first match in Union. The former KO-D Openweight Champion has been spending time in IGF and ZERO1 lately, the latter being where he and Munenori Sawa have formed a team called the SEX-MEN. Not sure if they come out to the 1990’s X-Men cartoon theme song but it would be another reason to like them if they did.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS” Results

February 3, 2011

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS”, 03/02/2011
Shinjuku FACE
531 Fans

0. Takao Omori 3 Seater Dark Match: Takao Omori defeated Mitsuhiro Yoshida with a Boston Crab (1:57).
0. Takao Omori 3 Seater Dark Match: Takao Omori defeated Satoshi Hiroshi Kazato with a Piledriver (1:35).
0. Takao Omori 3 Seater Dark Match: Takao Omori defeated Batten Tamagawa with a Cobra Twist (1:34).
1. Seiya Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki defeated Cherry & Syuri when Morohashi pinned Cherry with a Cradle Cutback (10:44).
2. Tigers Mask defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with an Inside Cradle (11:29).
3. Aja Kong defeated Ken Ohka with the Diving Elbow Drop (8:12).
4. TKG48 Vs Revolutionary Armed Forces: Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Mashimo & Madoka defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Atsushi Aoki & Shigehiro Irie when Yago submitted Irie with the Cobra Twist Murder (18:15).
5. Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang defeated Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data when Zhang pinned Kodaka with the Sitdown Power Bomb (13:32).
6. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi with the Splash Mountain (13:40).

Shuji Ishikawa got the big win for himself and for Union as he defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi in the main event. The match had none other than Kyohei Wada of All Japan fame as the referee. It was a very physical match as Kikuchi was left bleeding from under his eye after all the damage he took.

Yoshiyaki Yago came in to Union with the prospect of facing his old nemesis Sanshiro Takagi. Seeing that Takagi formed his own supergroup called the TKG48, Yago went and formed his own unit temporarily called the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the two forces were set to collide in Shinjuku FACE. Yago recruited Madoka and Kengo Mashimo, who got rid of the Kengo Ohka name he had previously been using in Union. Takagi had his protege Shigehiro Irie and also brought in Atsushi Aoki from Pro Wrestling NOAH as his partners for the 6-Man Tag. Yago’s team won in the end with Yago himself earning the win with the aways deadly Cobra Twist Murder. The TKG48 had to cope with its first loss in Union. Not good, especially since Jun Akiyama was in attendance. When Takagi found out he approached Akiyama and offered him a spot in TKG48 aswell as a Kojima Haruna calendar as a gift. Akiyama said nothing and left the arena instead.

The situation did not end there as Yago and his group interrupted the post-show speeches to finally announce their official name. Yago claimed that he, Maashimo & Madoka were hired as bodyguards for Naomi Susan, the woman in charge of Union. So they now call themselves the SS Susan. Ishikawa wasn’t happy with this turn of events and challenged the SS Susan to a 6-Man Tag on 6th March at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The match was made with Shuji picking Seiya Morohashi as one of his partners. Kikuchi asked Takagi if it would be ok if he could team with Shuji and Seiya. Takagi thought about it and decided to rent out Kikuchi to the Union side for a month so he could compete in the match.

After pinning the champion in the semi-main, Cao Zhang challenged Isami Kodaka to a DDT Extreme Title match. Isami accepted and their bout will take place on 6th March. Ever since his first appearance, Cao Zhang has been using a giant mallet to help win his matches. This could come into play when the stipulation of the title match is decided.

Looks like my guess for LuFisto’s replacement in the match with Ken Ohka was wrong. Very wrong. Ken Ohka had to fight Aja Kong. Needless to say the poor guy got killed out there.

The series of high profile matches for Shinichiro Tominaga continued with a defeat to Tigers Mask. Tominaga almost had the match won but his attempt at the Nagata Lock (Figure 4 Version) left him vulnerable to a roll up from Tigers. His next opponent will be Hikaru Sato.

Takao Omori came into Union to take part in a three match exhibition against a few micro indy wrestlers. He defeated Mitsuhiro Yoshida, Satoshi Hiroshi Kazato and Batten Tamagawa pretty easily.

Union Card For Tomorrow, LuFisto Unable To Compete

February 2, 2011

Unfortunate news ahead of tomorrow’s Union event in Shinjuku FACE as LuFisto had to pull out of the show. She was supposed to take on Ken Ohka in a battle of the sexes but that has now been cancelled. Ohka will still have a match but his opponent has not been revealed yet. A possible choice is joshi wrestler Yuzuki Aikawa (boing boing!) as the two had a confrontation during the week which resulted in Aikawa giving Ohka her signature move, the Yuzupon Kick. With Aikawa now part of the TKG48, she may end up having her first match in Union sooner rather than later.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS”, 03/02/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Cherry & Syuri Vs Seiya Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki
2. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tigers Mask
3. Ken Ohka Vs X

TKG48 Gets Bouncy Bouncy!

February 1, 2011
