7. DDT Extreme Title Contendership – 3 Way: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Kengo Ohka

Isami Kodaka has been preparing for his match with Hiro Tsumaki by training with former joshi wrestler Rumi Kazama in Okinawa. Rumi first came to Isami’s rescue during his Sexy Diva match against Sexxxy Eddy and GAMI back in August. It looks like she will be sticking by his side for the time being.

Geisha girl Miyako commented on BENTEN’s upcoming match against Onryo. The “Global Diva Princess” said Onryo and Masako Takanashi are a far cry from the people BENTEN wrestled in Madison Square Garden for a company called WWG, which somehow stands for World Wide Edge.

The 16-Man Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title is still set for this show. All that has been revealed about the tournament so far is the tournament layout. Nothing unusual about it.

Takao’s Tag Trouble, Hirata’s Gonna Fale, President Pervert

October 14, 2011

DDT “FUTURE HEAVEN! IN NAGOYA 2011”, 30/10/2011
Nagoya Club Diamond Hall

1. HERO! Last DDT Match: HARASHIMA & HERO! Vs X & X
2. KO-D Tag Team Title Contendership: Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano Vs Takao Soma & Akito
3. Special Singles Match: Hikaru Sato Vs Danshoku Dino

Takao Soma isn’t very happy that Keisuke Ishii won an important championship in DDT before he did. After Ishii and Shigehiro Irie became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions in Sapporo, Soma told interviewers backstage that “It sucks that Ishii won a belt before me.” He was also upset that Ishii was the person chosen to team with Irie for the title match instead of himself. That is understandable since Soma and Irie had been doing very well as the TKG48’s resident tag team in DDT. Soma will be doing something about it and has picked Akito to form a new tag team in the hopes of getting a title shot in the distant future. However, they will face a difficult challenge in the forms of Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano. Both men are former KO-D Tag Team Champions and have been recently teaming together.

Kenny Omega, Shigehiro Irie, Daisuke Sasaki, Mr. #6, Toru Sugiura & DJ Nira are all confirmed to be taking part at this show.

Tokyo Asakusa Flower Mansion

1. 3 Way Tag: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Danshoku Dino & Chou-un Shiryu

The President Pervert in the show’s title is none other than Michael Nakazawa. He will be the special guest announcer for the event.

Chou-un Shiryu is looking forward to tangling with Munenori Sawa one last time before Sawa retires. Shiryu believes the only way Sawa could beat him was if he resorted to using Kung Fu for the match. The Brahman Brothers are the wild cards here and will no doubt be carrying a container filled with creepy crawlies for their opponents to suffer through.


Cherry Confirmed For JoshiMania

October 12, 2011

This December, the Dramatic Pink Warrior of Union is on her way over to America. Cherry is the latest name announced to take part in a special series of shows hosted by CHIKARA Pro called JoshiMania.

*Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie become the 40th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

Generation rivals Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie will now have to stick with each other as they became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! They defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi of the new Homoiro Clover Z group to win the vacant titles. It was a pretty nasty finish as Ishii dropped Dino right onto his face with an Exploder Suplex before hitting him with the match winning Kneel Kick. The new champions shook each others hands and celebrated, putting behind their differences to become the new tag team to beat in DDT.

Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa tried to do the Golden Shower onto KUDO during their match, but MIKAMI tripped them off of the top rope.

The annual Sapporo fight between Hiroki the ninja and Chiharu the karate guy was booked as a tag team match this year. Hiroki had Sanshiro Takagi as his tag partner while Chiharu sided with Michael Nakazawa. That was not all. The match would also be a 100 Nunchaku & Pots Death Match and Kota Ibushi was there to do the ring announcements. Nunchaku and coat hangers were placed hanging on the ring ropes while small flower pots, ones made of plastic and ones made of clay, were placed on the ring canvas beneath them. Nakazawa suffered a bloody gash over his right shoulder from the finish. However, he was able to take his forfeit for losing the match. The forfeit was Nakazawa had to place a flower pot over his head with a firecracker inside it while Ibushi lit the cracker’s fuse. It turned out to be a harmful experience for both of them.

Forget Ibushi’s shoulder. With the way he plays with fireworks, one of these days he is going to lose some fingers.

Sapporo Teisen Hall will be very busy on 9th and 10th October as there will be five shows taking place in the building. K-DOJO and Freedoms are holding shows on the 9th while the 10th will have DDT and Big Japan shows. The series of events will end with a global-themed collaboration show featuring wrestlers from all five groups, plus a few foreign talent aswell.

The previous Pull Down Cover Death Match took place in DDT back in January 2009. In order to win, the wrestler must drape his country’s flag over his prone opponent while pinning him. Antonio Honda will be defending Japan’s pride against the American MASADA.

I have no idea who Dante, Motley Crue S and Toucans & Chocho Lina are or if I got their names translated correctly.

Denim and Diamonds Temple, Texas, USA

Michael Nakazawa Vs Ryan Genesis

Believing that he has now conquered Japan with laughter, Michael Nakazawa is heading over to America to do the same thing. Nakazawa will be appearing in Texas for the New School Federation to wrestle Ryan Genesis on 15th October. Genesis has made a handful of appearances for DDT and Union during 2011, the highlight of which was becoming one of Bob Sapp’s assassins sent to fight Danshoku Dino.

5. Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

A mini tournament to determine who challenges the KO-D Openweight Champion at Osaka in November will also take place here.

Some taunting has been going back and forth between Homoiro Clover Z and the TKG48. This has led to the Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma tag team match being turned into a Lumberjack Death Match. So far DJ Nira, Ken Ohka, Shigehiro Irie, Kazuki Hirata and Hiroshi Fukuda have been announced as the lumberjacks, with more to come.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2011”, 06/11/2011
Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2

1. 3 Way: Kikutaro Vs Kushinbo Kamen Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO or Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Winner Of 23/10 Tournament

Gorgeous Matsuno finds himself in the ring with two of the most dangerous wrestlers in Japan. Oh wait… Scratch that, he’ll be in the ring with Kikutaro and Kushinbo Kamen. However, Matsuno is always at risk while he carries the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title over his shoulder. That is if he is still champion by the time this show takes place.

Shigehiro Irie will also take part in this show along with Kyairyuuken-ecchan from Shi-en Pro Wrestling aswell as Osaka freelancers Hideki Shiota and Shoichi Uchida.

In other news, Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano have decided to form a new faction together after they had a successful go as a team at “NON-FIX 10.5” earlier this week. They declared their goal was to become the KO-D Tag Team Champions. I’m curious to see if Poison JULIE Sawada will join them, as Sawada has been teaming with Honda ever since his return from injury and gimmick makeover.


DDT “NON-FIX 10.5” Results

October 5, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 10.5”, 05/10/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
248 Fans

1. Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda defeated MIKAMI & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Cradle (8:36).
2. Poison JULIE Sawada defeated Rion Mizuki with the Pirates A GO GO (7:33).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Kazuki Hirata when Ishii pinned Hirata with the Kneel Kick (11:11).
4. Special Guest Referee: Darkside HERO! defeated HARASHIMA by DQ when HARASHIMA attacked the referee (Darkside HERO!) (0:18).
4a. No DQ: HARASHIMA defeated Darkside HERO! with the Somato (8:26).
5. Michael Nakazawa King Of Laughter Challenge: Michael Nakazawa defeated DJ Nira, Masa Takanashi & Danshoku Dino by making them all laugh (8:15).
6. Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when Sato submitted Oishi with the Cross Armbreaker (14:14).

Darkside HERO! being the referee for his own wrestling match caused some problems. He disqualified HARASHIMA for attacking him at the start of the match, even though he was supposed to since Darkside HERO! was his opponent. A rematch was declared immediately but this time under No DQ rules. Darkside HERO! was unmasked and revealed to be Tomomitsu Matsunaga. When HARASHIMA finally had Matsunaga beaten, Yukinori Matsui ran into the ring to make the three count.

HERO! appeared after the match to make peace with HARASHIMA and announce that he will be leaving at the end of October for personal reasons. He also said he never really liked Matsunaga. HERO! and HARASHIMA will team together for HERO!’s final DDT match for now in Nagoya on 30th October.

A TKG48 lumberjack match was announced for the 23rd October Korakuen Hall show. Sanshiro Takagi and Takao Soma are the only TKG48 members who qualified to wrestle at the show via the DDT48 General Election so it is likely one or both of them will be in that match with the lumberjacks made up of other TKG48 members.
