HERO! Returns?!?, Updated Cards For April, ‘Eff Off Fujita!

April 7, 2011

An odd event took place during the 4 Way match on yesterday’s “NON-FIX 3.16” show. When Michael Nakazawa, Antonio Honda and DJ Nira triple teamed HARASHIMA during the match, a masked man ran to the ring and cleared house, saving HARASHIMA from the beating and causing the match to end in a No Contest. What’s odd is that the masked man was HERO!, HARASHIMA’s masked alter ego! It is not clear who is behind the mask now but HERO! made an offer to team with HARASHIMA in the future. Tsurumi Amon interjected and thought that was a great idea, so HARASHIMA & HERO! will team together on 13th April.

DDT, 13/04/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hikaru Sato Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way: MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki Vs Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira Vs KUDO & Makoto Oishi
3. HARASHIMA & HERO! Vs Kenny Omega & Keisuke Ishii
4. Yasu Urano Vs Super Shit Machine
5. GENTARO Vs Takao Soma
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Ryan Jenness
7. Dick Togo, Gedo & Tomohiro Ishii Vs Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki

The two GRANMA Vs Shit Heart ♥ Foundation singles matches will have repercussions for their KO-D Tag Title match in Nagoya on 17th April. The winner of each match here in will get to add a stipulation to the Tag Title match.

A wrestler by the name of Ryan Jenness (ライアン・ジェネス – could be something else, I don’t recognise the name or anything similar) is Bob Sapp’s second assassin sent after Danshoku Dino.

DDT, 17/04/2011
Nagoya

1. Shigehiro Irie & Akito Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Keisuke Ishii
2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. KUDO Vs Michael Nakazawa
4. HERO! & Mr. #6 Vs DJ Nira & Antonio Honda
5. Kenny Omega Vs MIKAMI
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: GENTARO & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Takao Soma & Super Shit Machine
7. 3 Way: Kota Ibushi Vs Danshoku Dino Vs HARASHIMA

A pretty packed show here. DDT’s three big stars go at it in the main event, the Tag Titles are on the line with some stipulations yet to be added, Kenny Omega Vs MIKAMI will surely be exciting and you have the return of Mr. #6.

For some reason, Minoru Fujita has been banned from appearing at future DDT events. Fujita has lately been showing up at DDT shows uninvited and everyone has had enough. Tsurumi Amon brought it up at a meeting and they all decided to ban him from the company for now.

NEVER Saw That Coming, Kenny Faces The Thunder, Kiku-Sato

April 7, 2011

NEVER.6 “ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT”, 07/04/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
250 Fans

1. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block B – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii defeated Hiromu Takahashi with a Double Arm DDT (8:18).
4. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block B – Round 1: Madoka defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Ranhei (8:53)
6. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block A – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the NOW or NEVER (10:08).
7. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block A – Round 1: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi defeated Ken Ohka with the Fireball Bomb (8:18).

Union’s hopes of getting involved in the Best Of The Super Juniors tour is not looking good. Both of their homegrown talent crashed out in the first round, Ken Ohka losing to TKG48 member Tsuyoshi Kikuchi and Shinichiro Tominaga losing to Daisuke Sasaki. DDT faired a little better with Sasaki and Keisuke Ishii both going through to the next round. Kazuki Hirata was the only DDT rep who failed to get through, losing to Madoka. The tournament will finish on NEVER.7, taking place tomorrow.

NJPW, 15/05/11
Philadelphia Asylum Arena, USA

JAPW Light Heavyweight Title: Jushin Thunder Liger (c) Vs Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega has a big role to play when New Japan tours the United States. Back in America, Kenny spent a good part of his career in Jersey All Pro Wrestling. One of his most recent matches in the promotion was a 6-way Elimination match for the JAPW Light Heavyweight Title. He was knocked out of the match by the eventual winner, one Jushin Lyger. Now that Lyger is back in America for New Japan’s series of shows in the country, Kenny will challenge Lyger for the title one-on-one.

Hikaru Sato is getting ready to enter another tournament. This time he is going back to All Japan as a last minute entry for the AJPW Jr. Tag League. His partner? Kikutaro! Is this pairing strong enough to defeat the likes of Kaz Hayashi & KAI, Shuji Kondo & Hiroshi Yamato or Koji Kanemoto & Minoru? Did this year’s Wrestlemania have an exciting main event?
