We’re going to need a flowchart for this one. Sanshiro Takagi has created a splinter group from the now obsolete TKG48 called the TKG Rogue Army. So far himself and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi are members of the group and they want to face wrestlers from around the world. Yoshiaki Yago & KENSO are already confirmed to face them Korakuen Hall for the Union 3rd January event. Takagi & KENSO have a bad history together. In 2006 the two fought in a No Rope Exploding Barbed-Wire match which KENSO won. Takagi described his defeat to the previously known Kenso Suzuki as a catastrophe. However, KENSO is not the only thing Takagi (and us too) has to worry about…
Russian wrestlers Ivan Markov & Bonnie from the IWF approached Takagi during a video message taped for DDT’s UStream channel. They told Takagi about Russia’s premier Wrestling Idol group, the KGB48. Furthermore, they revealed that they and their agent Vladamir Nagai were very important members of the faction. Takagi told them that he knows many wrestling groups from around the world and that together they will all form an “Allied Bukkake” and declare war on Homoiro Clover Z. The first match between the two groups will take place on New Year’s Eve.
UNION “1…2…3…UNION!”, 03/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Loser Must Follow Winner On Twitter: Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs RG
2. Cherry Vs Ayumi Kurihara
3. American Mixed Tag Team Titles: NOSAWA Rongai & Io Shirai (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai

5. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Isami Kodaka
The rocky relationship between Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai is starting to pay off. They have been granted a championship match for Korakuen Hall next month. It turns out their opponents will be NOSAWA Rongai and Io Shirai, Mio’s sister. While Mio and Io have probably had more wrestling matches against each other than they’ve had hot meals, Mio isn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of Ohka being in the ring with her sister. But that’s more because of the risk that Ohka will get his ass kicked rather than Ohka finding a way to take advantage of Io. However, Ohka has no such perverted thoughts and is seeing this as his best chance to become a champion again. With the Union/IWF relationship creating a Japan Vs Russia atmosphere, Ohka somehows sees this match as Japan Vs Mexico due to NOSAWA & Io’s frequent trips to the country.
The stipulation for Hiroshi Fukuda Vs RG has been decided. The loser of the match must follow the winner’s Twitter account. Fukuda is now encouraging his fans to stop communicating with RG on Twitter and instead retweet his own messages. There is still a very large gap in the amount of followers both wrestlers get (42,779 Vs 565 as of this post), but Fukuda is confident he will be the David against RG’s Goliath. He is counting on each and every one of his 565 followers to give him the power to defeat RG once the match takes place.
