2. 3 Way Tag Match: Antonio Honda & Keita Yano Vs Michael Nakazawa & Shoichi Uchida Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Takao Soma

7. KUDO, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA, Hikaru Sato & Keisuke Ishii

Some of the results from today’s Shin-Kiba 1st RING event has led to the card for next week’s Osaka show being reshuffled. The rivalry brewing between Crying Wolf and certain members of the DDT roster will continue with Yasu Urano facing Masa Takanashi and Daisuke Sasaki taking on the bug brute Yuji Hino. This is all setting up the KO-D Tag Team Title match which is mentioned below. Meanwhile the “First 4 Way Match Of The Year” is now the “First 3 Way Tag Match Of The Year” with Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Takao Soma representing DDT, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano representing Crying Wolf and Michael Nakazawa & Shoichi Uchida representing a DDT and Osaka Pro alliance.

DDT “IN CHIBA 2012”, 22/01/2012
Chiba Port Arena

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
3. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takao Soma
4. Lottery Bonus Match! Angel Vs Devil Showdown!: DJ Nira Vs Jaki Numawzawa
5. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuki Hirata
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki

With Daisuke Sasaki scoring the pin on Yasu Urano at Shin-Kiba, he and Masa Takanashi get the first shot at the new KO-D Tag Team Champions.

As the winner of the 2012 New Year Rumble, DJ Nira now has to face Jaki Numazawa from Big Japan. Will his Rocket Punch be able to take down the “Black Angel”?

Sanshiro Takagi’s call for wrestlers wanting to join his new “anti-establishment” unit has been answered by Takao Soma. The two are no strangers to each other as Soma was a part of Takagi’s TKG48 unit.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012”, 29/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Hikari Minami) Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
2. New Year Dream Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Hino
3. New Year Dream Match: Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA
4. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Homoiro Clover Z is doing pretty well for itself so far. Win or lose, they will still hold possession of the KO-D Openweight Title after the main event. If KUDO beats Danshoku Dino, he will set the record for most KO-D Title defences. However, now that they are being pitted against Crying Wolf a more threatening challenge could be just around the corner for them.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS 2012”, 10/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mio Shirai Vs Sexxxy Eddy
2. Ken Ohka Vs El Generico
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka

Mio Shirai is going to be in for a long night and I’m sure Sexxxy Eddy would agree with me (but not in the way I meant).

MIKAMI appeared at the show to announce he was having surgery on his right shoulder next month to repair a torn rotator cuff. He will be gone from the ring for at least 6 months.

DJ Nira won a special prize for winning the New Year Rumble. The prize is a match against Big Japan death match wrestler Jaki Numazawa.

Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA and Yuji Hino Vs Keisuke Ishii are booked for the 29/01 Korakuen Hall show. Also El Generico will return to DDT for the 11th and 19th February shows in Nagoya and Korakuen.

The special rule for the Hoshitango Vs Poison JULIE Sawada match was that whenever a wrestler was knocked out of the ring, a fan from the audience would be allowed to draw graffiti onto the wrestler’s face, arms or body. Whichever wrestler had the least amount of graffiti on him after the 10 minute time limit would become the winner. Hoshitango just about won the match by having one less piece of graffiti written on his body than Sawada. One of the fans drew the Kinnikuman mark on Hoshitango’s forehead.

Sanshiro Takagi noticed there is a lack of anti-establishment in DDT at the moment. “Too many guys are kissing the ass of Tsurumi Amon,” he said. He will be forming a new unit to cause some trouble and is inviting anyone interested in joining him to face him in a tryout match at the 22/01 Chiba show.
