May 6, 2011

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2011”, 19/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

Shuji Ishikawa has a tough challenge ahead for his title reign. He will defend the KO-D Openweight Title against GENTARO on 19th July when GENTARO cashes in his “Anytime And Anywhere” contract. But that is not all for the championship on that night. There will be not one but two KO-D Title matches taking place in Korakuen Hall with the winner of Shuji Ishikawa Vs GENTARO taking on Takao Soma afterwards. Takao Soma has seen his profile in DDT rise ever since he won the Young Drama Cup. Since then, he has taken over the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation and revamped it to be a threat instead of a joke. Now he will have the advantage of being the fresh man in his title match.

We had the surprising return of Masa Takanashi at “MAX BUMP 2011” to announce his comeback match at the 19th June Korakuen Hall show. He will take on Keisuke Ishii in his first match since injuring his right knee last May and it will be for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. When Masa and Keisuke had a faceoff at “MAX BUMP 2011”, Ishii used the 24/7 rule to his advantage by rolling over Masa with a Small Package to win the title when Masa least expected it. However, Masa quickly did the same to Ishii to win the belt back. Now they will meet in a proper match with the title on the line.

UNION “NIMOMAKEZU RAIN”, 02/06/2011

3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs MIKAMI
