DDT “MAX BUMP 2012”, 04/05/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Shota
1. Keisuke Ishii Vs KAI
2. 10-Man Tag Team Match: Antonio Honda, Keita Yano, Poison JULIE Sawada, Hoshitango & Don Michael Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Shigehiro Irie, Akito & Tetsuya Endo

6. 3 Way KO-D Challenger Playoff Match: Yasu Urano Vs HARASHIMA Vs KUDO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Yuji Hino

Then we have what will be one of the big DDT shows of the year. Masa Takanashi has the seemingly impossible task of defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Yuji Hino. Masa would have to pull out a miracle performance similar to the one he pulled against Daisuke Sekimoto in 2009, and then some to beat the Crying Wolf powerhouse. We will also see who out of HARASHIMA, KUDO and Yasu Urano will be next to to challenge for the belt. Plus the wait is finally over. Kota Ibushi returns and faces El Generico in what everyone is hoping will be a match for the ages. Also Keisuke Ishii will be flying the flag for DDT and defending their honour against All Japan’s KAI. Finally we could see New World Japan unveiling their newest member, at least if Sanshiro Takagi is able to find one.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2012”, 04/05/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka & Taichi Kazato Vs Masked Mystery & SAGAT
1. Handicap Match Of Love: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Rion Mizuki & Rumi Kazama
2. Goro Tsurumi, El Hijo del Goro & Goro Jr Vs Big Rude, Black Spider Clutch & GENTARO

5. Hiro Tsumaki Return Match: Hiro Tsumaki & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico
6. BJW Tag Team Title: Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Shop Death Match: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka

Mio Shirai suffered a fractured nose during the week and will be unable to compete in the long awaited Age Contra Makeup match against Cherry. Emi Sakura will be coming in as her replacement. However, Mio will be attending the show and she will still be forced to remove her makeup if Emi loses the match to Cherry. If Emi wins, then Mio still gets the satisfaction of forcing Cherry to reveal her real age.
