DDT Results At Shinjuku FACE

April 13, 2011

DDT, 13/04/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hikaru Sato defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Cross Armbreaker (7:54).
2. 3 Way: KUDO & Makoto Oishi defeated MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki and Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Oishi pinned Nakazawa with a Sunset Flip(11:22).
3. Super Shit Machine defeated Yasu Urano with a Back Drop (7:53).
4. Takao Soma defeated GENTARO by DQ when he faked a Low Blow (7:26).
5. Danshoku Dino defeated Ryan Genesis by KO with a kiss (9:18).
6. HARASHIMA & hero! defeated Kenny Omega & Keisuke Ishii when hero! pinned Ishii (11:29).
7. Dick Togo, Gedo & Tomohiro Ishii defeated Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Togi pinned Honda with the Diving Senton (19:35).

Two matches were announced for Dick Togo’s retirement show on 30th June. Togo’s final match in his illustrious career will be against Gedo. There will also be a tag match pitting Antonio Honda & Jado against The Great Sasuke & TAKA Michinoku.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation used plenty of dirty tactics to win both of their matches over GRANMA. Tomimitsu Matsunaga, who announced back at “NON-FIX 3.16” that he would not appear on this event, showed up disguised as the Super Shit Machine and swapped places with the real Machine during its match with Yasu Urano. The plan worked a treat and Matsunaga pinned Urano with Yukinori Matsui none the wiser. Takao Soma won the next match by DQ when he convinced the ref that GENTARO gave him a Low Blow. By winning both matches, the SHF were allowed to add two stipulations for the KO-D Tag Team Title match in Nagoya on 4/17. Their stipulations are that the SHF cannot be disqualified and that Urano & GENTARO can only win by pinning Soma or Machine for 5 seconds rather than the traditional 3 count.

Kenny Omega announced that he will participate in the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title Contendership Tournament. This will be the first time Kenny will enter the annual DDT tournament.

Gorgeous Matsuno will have his return match on 4th May at Korakuen Hall.

Daisuke BOSJ Bound, Union Gets More Tenryu

April 9, 2011

NEVER.6 “ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT”
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
300 Fans

1. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block A – Semi Final: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the NOW or NEVER (5:52).
3. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block B – Semi Final: Taichi defeated Keisuke Ishii with a High-Angle Crab Hold (4:15).
5. Kyosuke Mikami & Hiromu Takahashi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Shinichiro Tominaga when Takahashi pinned Hirata with the Fisherman Suplex (10:11).
6. Yujiro Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Jado & Gedo defeated Ken Ohka, Osamu Namiguchi, Marines Mask II & Kaji Tomato when Takahashi pinned Ohka after the Tokyo Pimps (15:50).
7. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block A – Final: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi with the NOW or NEVER (14:26).

Daisuke Sasaki has earned a spot in this year’s Best Of The Super Junior tournament by winning his block in the Road to the Super Jr. tournament hosted by New Japan Pro Wrestling’s NEVER brand. Yesterday he defeated Kazuki Hirata and today he went past Ryuichi Sekine from K-DOJO in the second round of Block A. In the block’s final he met Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, the longtime veteran who has spent all year campaigning for a spot in the BOSJ. Sasaki shattered his dreams with his NOW or NEVER finisher and will now take his place among the elite Jr. Heavyweights in the world today…and Taichi.

Other DDT and Union wrestlers did not have a good day at the tournament, all losing their matches. Ken Ohka continued his chance meetings with high level wrestlers, losing to Yujiro Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Jado & Gedo in an 8-Man Tag. Kazuki Hirata & Shinichiro Tominaga teamed together in a losing effort to Kyosuke Mikami & Hiromu Takahashi.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2011”, 04/05/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data Vs MIKAMI & Jun Kasai

5. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Hiro Tsumaki & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Genichiro Tenryu, Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie
6. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Sanshiro Takagi

Looks like Genichiro Tenryu showing up for Union wasn’t just a one time thing. Mr. Puroresu will join fellow TKG48 members Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie for a Six-Man Tag at “GOLDEN UNION 2011” in Korakuen Hall.

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.

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?

DDT “NON-FIX 3.16” Results

April 6, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 3.16”, 06/04/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
183 Fans

1. Hikaru Sato defeated Akito with an Ankle Hold (7:43).
2. MIKAMI & Hoshitango defeated Tanomusaki Toba & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi when Hoshitango pinned Toba with a Uranage (7:55).
3. Takao Soma, Tomimitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine defeated Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano by DQ when GENTARO used a chair on Soma (12:02).
4. 4 Way: HARASHIMA Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Antonio Honda Vs DJ Nira ended in a No Contest (9:12).
5. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keisuke Ishii with the NOW or NEVER (10:37).
6. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Makoto Oishi defeated Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Kazuki Hirata when Dino pinned Hirata with the Danshoku Driver (17:31).

After the main event, Tsurumi Amon approached Danshoku Dino in the ring to inform him of Bob Sapp’s latest Tweet. The message was a warning about Sapp’s next assassin. While they were reading the message, the ‘assassin’ suddenly appeared and entered the ring to attack Dino. Dino dodged him but accidentaly sent his attacker slamming into Tsurumi Amon and knocking him out. Dino and the wrestler fought to the back as the show ended.

The 4 Way match unintentionally started off as a 5 Way match. Minoru Fujita made his entrance along with the other competitors and Yukinori Matsui never noticed it. Tsurumi Amon had to stop the match and tell Matsui that Fujita wasn’t supposed to be here. He was eventually dragged away from ringside and the match continued. As the match progressed, DJ Nira formed an alliance with Michael Nakazawa and Antonio Honda and all three focused their attacks on HARAHSIMA. Nakazawa is starting to act like The Rock, but his attempts at The People’s Elbow ended badly when HARASHIMA rolled out of the way. HARASHIMA fought back but eventually the numbers game was proving too much. When all seemed lost, HARASHIMA was suddenly saved by HERO!, who cleared the ring. Matsui called for a No Contest as HARASHIMA was surprised to see himself being saved by his own alter ego.

Rion Mizuki Injured, Change For “NON-FIX 3.16”

April 5, 2011

Rion Mizuki has pulled out of tomorrow’s “NON-FIX” show due to a torn muscle in his right leg. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi will take his place in Match #2. The pairing for the match has also been changed. Mizuki was supposed to team with MIKAMI to take on Hoshitango & Tanomusaku Toba. Instead MIKAMI and Hoshitango will now team with each other while Kikuchi will team with Toba, despite breaking the guy’s nose a month ago.

Golden Lovers Defeated, Next Up For Union

April 3, 2011

It was not a successful appearance for the Golden Lovers in New Japan today. They teamed up with Manabu Nakanishi but were defeated by Shinsuke Nakamura, Jado & Gedo.

NJPW “NEW DIMENSION ~PRAY, HOPE, POWER~”, 4/3/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,025 Fans

4. CMLL World Welterweight Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) defeated Madoka with the Dodon (12:17).
*V1 for Taguchi.
5. Shinsuke Nakamura, Jado & Gedo defeated Manabu Nakanishi, Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when Nakamura pinned Nakanishi with the Boma Ye (16:31).

Some new matches have been revealed for Union’s second show in Korakuen Hall this year. The main event of “GOLDEN UNION 2011” will be the clash between the face of Union and the former face of DDT. Shuji Ishikawa battles Sanshiro Takagi with plenty of pride on the line. Takagi’s TKG48 has been getting the better of Union during their feud, with Takagi pinning Shuji in a 6-Man Tag at today’s Union show. Now they finally face each other one-on-one.

Meanwhile, Seiya Morohashi has been tasked with dealing with the Susan Guard. After losing to Yoshiaki Yago today, he called in the big guns to help him fight Yago & Kengo Ohka at Korakuen Hall. Seiya will team with “Big” Kazunari Murakami, a man who permanently looks at you as if you just stepped on his dog and for that he will kill you.

Ken Ohka will face New Japan Jr. Heavyweight star Koji Kanemoto in what looks to be a regular series of Best Of The Super Junior themed challenges for Ohka.

Isami Kodaka and Yano K Data are being sent to Monkey School. Their opponents are MIKAMI and the “Crazy Monkey” Jun Kasai. Either one of these wrestlers could be Kodaka’s next challenger for the DDT Extreme Championship.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2011”, 04/05/2011

2. Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data Vs MIKAMI & Jun Kasai

Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data were accompanied by their own valet to even the sides against the New Beijing group. At the moment all I know is she is named Veronica and she seems to be from North America. I’ll see if I can find out if she is a regular on the American indy scene.
