DDT “NON-FIX 11.13” Results

November 13, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 11.13”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
311 Fans

1. Michael Nakazawa & Kazuki Hirata defeated Hikaru Sato & Rion Mizuki when Nakazawa submitted Mizuki with the Michael Never Cry (8:32).
2. DJ Nira & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Matsuno pinned Irie with a School Boy (6:22).
3. Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano defeated MIKAMI, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hoshitango when Honda pinned Matsunaga with the Diving Fist Drop (11:15).
4. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Danshoku Dino Vs Makoto Oishi ended in a No Contest when the referee was attacked (7:15).
Audition Participants: Hiroshi Fukuda, Akito, DJ Nira, Speed Of Sound and Mitsuya Nagai.
5. Kenny Omega defeated Takao Soma with the Croyt’s Wrath (14:15).
6. KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki when KUDO pinned HARASHIMA with a Buzzsaw Kick (11:10).

In their first of two tag team bouts today, KUDO scored the victory over his KO-D Openweight Title challenger HARASHIMA in the main event. KUDO was just a little too fast for HARASHIMA as he rolled out of a Jackknife Pin hold and struck his unprepared opponent with a Buzzsaw Kick. Afterwards KUDO spoke on the mic about how he would not see himself as a true champion in DDT until he defeats HARASHIMA in the KO-D title match on 22nd November in Korakuen Hall.

Kota Ibushi announced that his shoulder injury cannot fully recover without surgery. He will be having shoulder surgery in a few days time, extending his absence from the competing in the ring (and the campsite, and the street, and the shopping mall, and the factory, so on and so on).

Tsurumi Amon decided to add some handicap pinfall rules to Match #2 to aid Gorgeous Matsuno due to his ill health. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie had to pin either Gorgeous Matsuno or DJ Nira for five seconds in order to win the match. Meanwhile Matsuno & Nira only had to pin the KO-D Tag Team Champions for one second to win. Matsuno was able to do that on Irie and as a reward, he and Poison JULIE Sawada will challenge Ishii & Irie for the belts at Korakuen Hall later this month. However, Matsuno suddenly fainted backstage shortly after the match. This now puts the KO-D Tag Title match into doubt.

Michael Nakazawa challenged Hikaru Sato to a singles match at Korakuen Hall on 27/11.

Kazuki Hirata suffered a concussion in the opener. He will miss the rest of today’s shows as a result.

New Year’s Eve Show Gets Occupied

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Young Six-Man Tag: Hiroshi Fukuda, Toru Sugiura & Kotaro Nasu Vs Masashi Otani, Daichi Sasaki & Dyna Mido
2. World No. 1 Independent Tag Team Gauntlet: Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka Vs Shiori Asahi & Makoto Oishi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Masashi Takeda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hide Kubota & Yasu Kubota

Featured Promotions: BJW, DDT, Union, KAIENTAI DOJO, Freedoms, Michinoku Pro, 666, STYLE-E, Kouhaku Pro-Wrestling, Secret Base, GUTS World, Daiwa Entertainment Pro-Wrestling, Sportiva Entertainment

The annual New Year’s Eve Pro Indie Wrestling event in Korakuen Hall will be extra special this year. FIGHTING Samurai TV!, the home of DDT Dramatic Fantasia, BJW Deathmatch Wars, Occupation Of The Indies and other programming dedicated to pretty much every single active Japanese wrestling company you can think of, will be celebrating its 15th Anniversary this year and the big New Year’s Eve event will be hosting the celebrations. Mita Sayoko and Carlos The Mexican Mole, the hosts of Occuptation Of The Indies, will be responsible for looking over the card.

One of the early stories set up for the show is a conflict building up between Ken Ohka from Union and Ryuichi Sekine from K-DOJO. It has led both men forming seperate teams to face each other in a big challenge (or series of challenges) at the show. Both Ohka and Sekine have been told to go look for wrestlers from all across the Japanese indie scene and get them to join their respective side. The captain of the winning team will be rewarded with a special segment dedicated to him on a future episode of Occupation Of The Indies.

DDT “NON-FIX 11.13”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Gorgeous Matsuno has requested a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Poison JULIE Sawada as his partner. However, Tsurumi Amon is not convinced they deserve to get the title shot. He thinks they will have to defeat the champions first before they can go after the belts. Sawada will not be appearing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 13/11 so Amon has told Matsuno to team with DJ Nira to take on the champs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie at the show. If Matsuno & Nira win, then Matsuno & Sawada will be given a title shot to be held at 27/11.

The Let’s Go 30’s pair of Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda are going back to the drawing board after failing to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Part of their new strategy will be to bring in a third member to their group, who will be revealed at this show.

Hard Hit “ATLANTIS”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

UNION “FANTASY ILLUSION 5”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

If you like your pro wrestling to have cross dressing then boy are you in for a treat (I can’t believe I typed that). Handsome Shirai Vs Kenko Ohka sounds like a gender swapped version of the Mio Shirai Vs Ken Ohka feud, Masako Takanashi is Masa Takanashi, Kazue Hirata is Kazuki Hirata, Shigeko Deluxe & Hiroko Mangrove are the female cheerleader alter egos of Shigehiro Irie & Shuji Ishikawa respectively and Chinese Cherry will obviously be Chou-un Shiryu. My guesses for the other Cherry knock offs are Hoshitango for Giant Cherry, Big Morohashi for Nice Body Cherry and Sanshiro Takagi for Mrs. Cherry/Cherry’s mother.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2011”, 27/11/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Hikari Minami Vs X
2. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru Tanaka
3. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Homoiro Clover Z will be holding “auditions” for the rest of this month to find their newest member. Hikari Minami from Ice Ribbon is the first name added to the audition. She caught their attention when she and Sanshiro Takagi defeated Clover members Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi at “OSAKA BAY BLUES”. So far the official members of Homoiro Clover Z are Danshoku Dino, Kota Ibushi, Makoto Oishi and KUDO.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) defeated Masa Takanashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (24:18).
*V3 for KUDO.

KUDO has now reached his third defense of the KO-D Openweight Title, beating the title reigns of previous Sumo Hall main event champions Kota Ibushi and HARASHIMA. KUDO told Masa Takanashi there were no hard feelings between them and he offered to go drinking with Masa after the show. He also nominated HARASHIMA to be his next challenger and for their title match to take place at the 27/11 Korakuen Hall show. KUDO compared HARASHIMA to Goku from Dragon Ball Z and said that to beat him, KUDO will have to be Vegeta!

Minoru Tanaka, who has recently gone back to using that name as a tribute to BattlARTS, scores a vital victory over Kenny Omega in the run up to their AJPW Jr. Title match on 27/11. As if the loss was not bad enough, Omega’s left knee was in great pain after the match. Now Minoru has a target to focus his attacks on for the title match.

Poison JULIE Sawada & Gorgeous Matsuno have joined forces and challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to a KO-D Tag Team Title match.

DDT “PRESIDENT PERVERT!” Results

November 4, 2011

DDT “PRESIDENT PERVERT! ~ LAST BIG WRESTLING MATCH ON THE STREET”, 04/11/2011
Tokyo Asakusa Flower Mansion
342 Fans

1. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Championship – 3 Way Tag: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei and Danshoku Dino & Chou-un Shiryu when Sawa pinned Shiryu with the Shining Festival (59:35).
*V2 for Takagi & Sawa.

Another chaotic DDT match is over and done with as Munenori Sawa (the “Hentai” in the show’s title) participated in his final Anywhere Pro Wrestling bout. A 3 Way Tag Team match for the Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles was the only match on the show but it went on for almost an hour. Chou-un Shiryu was determined to win back his country’s championship and teamed up with Danshoku Dino to go after the belts. The Brahman Brothers were the third wheel and dark horses of the title match, bringing along their unpredictable shenanigans.

The event took place in a flower garden that contained rollercoaster rides. The brawling was allowed to go anywhere, except on the flowerbeds. Michael Nakazawa was the host running around the area shouting through a megaphone. Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda, GENTARO and Hiroyo Matsumoto all showed up at certain points and got involved. Ibushi of course attacked the other wrestlers with fireworks. Traffic cones, powder, tobasco sauce, ketchup, a bottle of Coca-Cola containing Mentos and a Sanshiro Takagi sing-a-long were all used as weapons. The match wound up at a lake with a small bridge going across it. Sawa ran off a plank attached to the bridge and landed a Shining Wizard on Chou-un Shiryu in the water for the victory. Afterwards, Takagi announced that the Big China Tag Titles were going to be sealed and no longer defended in Japan. However, he promised Chou-un that the belts will be returned to China and can be reinstated over there if he wishes.

One last thing happened to close out the show. Takagi thanked Sawa for his time wrestling in DDT and Union by presenting him with a brand new bicycle!

Interviews: Kenny Omega, Dick Togo

November 3, 2011

There are two pretty good interviews that appeared online today. Kenny Omega is this week’s guest on the Art Of Wrestling podcast, hosted by the one and only Colt Cabana. The episode can be heard over at We Love Colt website and will also be available on iTunes tonight.

The other interview features Dick Togo and it was filmed during his recent trip to England. Togo talks about his retirement show in Japan, his time wrestling in Australia and Europe afterwards, his match with Fit Finlay and more. Unfortunately there is some heavy background noise at parts of the interview but hopefully it will not distract you too much. The interview is split into 4 videos and was done in Japanese but there is the option of English subtitles if you click on the CC section of each video. Credit goes to YujinWrestling for the interview. Enjoy.
