The former champions get their rematch. Crying Wolf is going through a rough period that saw Yuji Hino losing both the KO-D Openweight Title and with Yasu Urano the KO-D Tag Team Title. They have been granted a rematch against the Homoiro Clover Z duo of KUDO & Makoto Oishi with the belts on the line.

Speaking of Crying Wolf, they are now down one man with the announcement that Keita Yano is no longer affiliated with DDT. After the cross promoted DDT and WALLABY show took place on Sunday, DDT and Yano had a discussion about their ideas about pro wrestling. Due to the differences in opinion, it was decided that Yano’s contract would be cancelled as of today.

Beer Garden 2012 – DDT’s Party For The Summer

July 2, 2012

One of the highlights on the DDT calendar is Beer Garden Week. It is a week long series of shows held in Shin-Kiba 1st RING where everyday a different wrestler or group books the show whatever way they want to do. This leads to creative matches and stipulations set up that would never take place in a more normal setting. Highlights from past Beer Garden shows include Kota Ibushi Vs Kenny Omega in a Falls Count Anywhere Best 2 out of 3 Falls match, a Cosplay Royal Rumble, the DDT debut of Mr. #6, a Rock-Paper-Scissors Death Match, a main event tag team match that consisted almost entirely of Lariats and Tsurumi Amon telling a ghost story featuring WCW wrestlers.

Along with the wrestling, the roster also set up stalls to cook and sell food to the fans all day. And of course there is plenty of beer to go around too. With the list of wrestlers below producing shows this year, who knows what ideas they have up their sleeves?
