Dramatic DDT

And that’s all I know about the situation…Yeah it’s been a quiet news week.

Last Tuesday, Kota Ibushi had successful surgery done on his left shoulder, which has been injured ever since Ibushi separated the shoulder after a Firebird Splash on Prince Devitt during the 2010 Best Of The Super Jr Final. Until this week, Ibushi had always opted to take short breaks to let the shoulder heal on its own rather than take the surgery and be put on the shelf for longer periods of time. Unfortunately this meant the shoulder could never fully heal and the injuries kept coming back. The recurring problem cut short his run as the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion for New Japan Pro Wrestling as well as his new role in Homoiro Clover Z. Ibushi finally gave in and announced at “NON-FIX 11.13” that he was going under the knife. At the moment everyone is expecting his return to happen in May 2012, just over six months time. He is most likely going to miss the big DDT event of the year, their 15th Anniversary show in Nippon Budokan, the date of which will be announced at next Sunday’s “GOD BLESS DDT 2011” show in Korakuen Hall. DDT’s previous anniversary events have been held in March but that is no guarantee next year’s edition will be the same.

As the year soon draws to a close, I am hoping to add a complete results history for DDT and Union plus some of the sub brands like Hard Hit, BOYS and Cruiser’s Game. The roster pages for DDT and Union have been updated and now show some info on all of the active wrestlers. Any corrections would be appreciated. Rosters for the sub-brands will be included eventually.
