KUDO suffered a demoralising defeat to Shuji Ishikawa in the Tag Team main event of yesterday’s Union show. For the next Tag bout, both men are trading up from rookies to two of the most established wrestlers in both DDT and Union. The KO-D Champion brings along Big Morohasi to face KUDO and Kota Ibushi.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has been very active since its return two months ago. The belt has already changed hands 21 times and no one knows who will be the Champion going into the Battle Royal at Sumo Hall. Right now Antonio Honda is the current champion and he will defend the belt against Daisuke Sasaki & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi on 10th July.

Sumo Hall Additions, 5 Vs 5 Elimination, Tag Title Matches

July 4, 2011

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”, 24/07/2011
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

0. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles: The Great Sasuke & Ricky Fuji (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
1. Battle Royal – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title:
2. Summer Night Fever – 5 Vs 5 Elimination: Sanshiro Takagi, Hikaru Sato, Takao Soma, Kazuki Hirata & X Vs Yoshiaki Yago, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Super Shit Machine, Kengo Ohka & Minoru Suzuki
3. Special Singles Match: MIKAMI Vs Poison Sawada JULIE
4. Special Singles Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp
5. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Prince Devitt
6. 3 Way – KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & HERO! Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano Vs X & X
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs KUDO

Also Appearing: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Yuzuki Aikawa, Emi Sakura and Riki Sensyu.

The KO-D Tag Team Champions of HARASHIMA & HERO! will have twice the trouble to handle at Sumo Hall when they defend the titles against two teams. On one side is the former KO-D Tag Champions GENTARO & Yasu Urano. On the other side will be a team featuring either Michael Nakazawa or Masa Takanashi plus a partner of thier choice. Nakazawa and Takanashi will be competing over who gets the spot over the next couple of shows.

The 5 Vs 5 Elimination match features Hikaru Sato and Takao Soma putting aside their differences to fight a common enemy. They along with Sanshiro Takagi and Kazuki Hirata will team up to fight the Susan Shit Hart Superstars. However, The Superstars had a trick up their sleeve and announced that Minoru Suzuki will be part of their team. This leads to a daunting task for Hikaru Sato as he now has a fellow member of PANCRASE Mission as his enemy on the night. But his team has room for one more wrestler to compete. Will Takagi bring along one of his TKG48 buddies to the fight?

Just like last year, Sanshiro Takagi will be pulling double duty on the show. He and Munenori Sawa will have their rematch against The Great Sasuke & Ricky Fuji for the coveted Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles in the Dark Match of the evening. Legendary referee Kyohei Wada will be the official for the bout once more. The previous match was plagued with countout finishes so this one may very well be Falls Count Anyhwere to determine a clear winning team the first time round.

There is much discussion going on behind the scenes in DDT over who gets the dubious honour of receiving the now traditional “Anal Blast” ceremony to open this year’s show. So far Michael Nakazawa and Batten Tamagawa are the top two choices considered. Nakazawa has been part of the ceremony for the previous two shows while Tamagawa probably realises this is the only chance he’ll ever get to have an important role at a Sumo Hall show, even if it means having fireworks shoved up where the sun don’t shine. This would be a weird time to try and do a segue way connecting Tamagawa’s American flag themed gear to wishing all of the American readers a happy Independence Day, wouldn’t it?
