5. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma and Daichi Kazato & SAGAT (11:09).
5a. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Wild Cat pinned Kazato (6:57).
5b. Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA eliminated Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma when Ishikawa pinned Soma with the Giant Clutch (8:33).
5c. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA when Wild Cat pinned FUMA (11:09).
6. Kengo Ohka defeated Isami Kodaka with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:53).

Kengo Ohka thanked Isami Kodaka for their match in the main event and told him he will remember it fondly. This may be Kengo’s last match in Union for a while and he might go back to wrestling as Kengo Mashimo the next time he wrestles here.

Seiya Morohashi has been nominated to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. Negotiations have begun to make Morohashi Vs Kenny Omega for the title happen sometime in the near future.

Ken Ohka and Keisuke Ishii fought each other with a lot on the line. If Ohka won, Ishii and the rest of Drift would be forced to leave Union. But if Ishii won, Ohka and Mio Shirai would have to do the same. Shirai did not want to have to rely on Ohka for her future in Union but eventually cheered for her “pet” to win. Ohka took down Ishii with the Spear Of Fire but Ishii recovered and was just too much for Ohka to handle. The Kneel Kick ended the match but Ishii decided to throw out the stipulation. Drift’s war with Union was exhausting him and he felt there was nothing to gain if all he did was beat up Ohka over and over. So Drift announced they are withdrawing from Union after today.

Naomi Susan was relieved the stipulation was gone and that Ohka and Mio could stay. However, Ohka now believed Union was too small for a “Messiah” like him and there are plenty of big name promotions he could now work for. Mio slapped some sense into Ohka and he eventually admitted he wants to stay in Union. But his mind was made up. He and Shirai would keep his word and leave Union.

However, Ohka and Shirai would make their presence felt again at the end of the show. Two masked figures interrupted the post show speeches by kidnapping Jun Kasai and holding him hostage under the threat of stabbings with a ball-point pen. The masked man and women demanded to be booked for a match at Union’s next show in Yokohama on 10th March. Naomi Susan easily recognised who the duo was and happily accepted their demand. She actually felt relieved that Ohka and Shirai quickly found a way to get back into Union.

Kaori Yoneyama won the right to name and design Union’s new championship. She hopes to have it finished in time for Union’s next show and promises to become the first champion.

SAGAT is now signed as a full time Union wrestler. He has been a part timer for the brand for almost a year. SAGAT is from Iruma, Saitama and was born on 26th July, 1990. He is 168cm high and weighs 100kg. His signature moves are the Gore Grind, the Belly To Belly Suplex and the Sole Butt.

Union’s other new rookie Mitomi Masayuki will have his first match for the brand in Yokohama on 10/3.

The lovely Princess Makoto did not accompany Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang for their match against Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai. Rumour has it she (literally) jumped ship from New Beijing Pro Wrestling to another Chinese promotion called Wrestling New Dynasty.


DDT X Stardom Street Assault

February 12, 2013

DDT “HANAYASHIKI STREET WRESTLING”, 27/03/2013
Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashiki

4 Way Mixed Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko Vs Kota Ibushi & Jaiko Ishikawa Vs Michael Nakazawa & Miho Wakizawa

DDT and Stardom join together to check off one final achievement from Yuzuki Aikawa’s wrestling bucket list before she retires in April. The one thing left that Yuzuki wants to do is to take part in DDT’s famed street wrestling matches. Sanshiro Takagi, who has probably been Yuzuki’s biggest fan throughout her bouncy career has granted her wish and set up the match to take place in Japan’s oldest amusement park, the Asakusa Hanayahiki in Tokyo.

It was originally supposed to be only two teams taking part in the match. Takagi and Aikawa will look for revenge on Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko for losing to them at “SWEET DREAMS!” last month. Kota Ibushi then showed up upset that nobody told him about DDT doing another street wrestling match. He added himself into the match but was told he needed to have a female tag team partner. Yoshiko was furious that she has to team with Dino again instead of her darling Ibushi and opted to join his team. She thinks she can win his heart by wrestling in the street just like he does. Dino cockblocked her and told Ibushi to find someone else. Ibushi did just that and announced Jaiko Ishikawa (Shuji Ishikawa’s… identical twin sister?) as his partner. Takagi joked that the two have to be dating each other.

So it looked like a 3 Way Tag was set when Michael Nakazawa made his presence felt. He too wanted to be in the match and he called over Stardom wrestler Miho Wakizawa to be his tag partner. He then taught her how to do the Ultimate Venom Arm and they formed a Venom Arm Connecion to signify their new team.

February 11, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA”, 11/02/2013
Oyama City Cultural Center
208 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yukio Sakaguchi & Makoto Oishi defeated MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi when Sakaguchi pinned Takanashi with a Right Ad Left High Kick (7:55).
2. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira when Ishii pinned Nira with a Fisherman Buster (10:34).
3. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ibushi pinned Nakazawa with the Sit Down Last Ride (11:48).
4. Danshoku Dino defeated FUMA with the Raw Danshoku Driver (9:27).
5. Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano with an Elbow Butt (17:40).
6. 3 Way Match: Kenny Omega defeated HARASHIMA and Daisuke Sasaki when Omega pinned Sasaji with the Coyt’s Wrath (14:10).

Although nothing was settled between them, Kenny Omega won the main event match that also featured his challenger for the KO-D Title, HARASHIMA. Daisuke Sasaki was the third wheel and even came close to winning the 3 Way match when he gave HARASHIMA the Now Or Never. However, Omega cut him off with the Hadouken and then pinned Sasaki with the Croyt’s Wrath. Omega told HARASHIMA that wrestling him is fun and he looks forward to their match on 17/2.

Shigehiro Irie was given the MAGP Award for the show along with the cash prize of 500 yen. Irie tried to speak English during his acceptance speech but it still needs work. He called the prize “Five million dollars” for example.

Keisuke Ishii has been left puzzled after losing to MIKAMI yesterday. MIKAMI told Ishii that he is missing something fatal that would make him a successful professional wrestler but fainted before he could tell him. Ishii was so desperate to find the answer that he asked DJ Nira during their tag team match if he knew. Nira said the answer was on his shoe. When Ishii bent over to check the shoe, Nira gave him a DDT. Ishii later pinned Nira a Fisherman Buster. He asked him again and just when Nira was about to give an honest answer he fainted. Ishii wondered who else had the answer and Sanshiro Takagi told him he knew who to look for. Yoshihiko! Good thing Ishii and Yoshihiko will be part of a 6-Man Tag Team match on 17/2 in Korakuen Hall.

The MAGP, which is a new MVP award handed out by Tsurumi Amon after every show was today given to Yasu Urano. A loose translation of the name can be Most Amon-Impressed Player. The award includes a cash prize of 500 Yen.

Kenny Omega asked the fans to wish him luck for his upcoming trip to England where he will wrestle Zack Sabre Jr. in 4FW.

“Teacher” Sanshiro Takagi has promised to present more historical themed matches for future events.


Sakaguchi’s Thunder Grudge, Yoshihiko Goes Golden

February 6, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013”, 17/02/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango & Yuji Hino Vs MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Tetsuya Endo
2. Toru Owashi Return Assessment: Toru Owashi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa

4. Kota Ibushi, Gota Ihashi & Yoshihiko Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma
5. Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito Vs Jushin Thunder Liger & Hiromu Takahashi
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs HARASHIMA

In a shocking term of events, a DDT Vs New Japan tag match has been made with Yukio Sakaguchi and Jushin Thunder Liger in opposite sides. The two faced each other in a 6 Man Tag main event at a Legend Pro-Wrestling show on 13th January and Liger criticised Sakaguchi’s performance after the match. Yukio, who represented his father Seiji Sakaguchi on the show will not stand for Liger’s harsh comments. Meanwhile, Tsurumi Amon sensed the opportunity to capitalize on the situation by using DDT’s relationship with New Japan to set up this tag team match which includes Akito and Hiromu Takahashi. Sakaguchi is ready to show Liger he is more than just Seiji Sakaguchi’s son and will show a more savage side when he steps into the ring.

Drift sent out a challenge to the Golden Rendezvous for a 6 Man Tag Team match. However Kenny Omega will be defending the KO-D Championship in the main event. So the Golden Orchid duo of Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi went in search of a third partner. Lo and behold they found the perfect choice, Yoshihiko!

KUDO will find himself in the ring with plenty of familiar faces in his first match back from injury. He has held the KO-D Tag Team Titles with both Yasu Urano and Makoto Oishi. He has also spent plenty of time in his career wrestling with and against Danshoku Dino.

Toru Owashi will have to go through a 2-on-1 Handicap Match to prove he is deserving of a full time spot in DDT.


Ultimate Superstars Action – USA! USA! USA!

USA “STARGATE 2013”, 28/03/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

From the mind of Hiroshi Fukdua comes DDT’s latest spin off, Ultimate Superstars Action. Fukuda has launched his own American wrestling federation and will debut it at the end of March. The idea with the date is to steal the thunder from some other major wrestling show that takes place in April. Fukuda is pulling off all the stops to make this a success. According to Fukuda, USA has been in talks with Bruce Willis to appear on the show. He also somehow got in contact with Mr. Perfect on Facebook. In fact, earlier today Perfect visited Fukuda’s parents for a meal and told him he needs to sign a wrestler from the Middle East. Fukuda will keep everyone up to date as we get closer to USA’s first show.

Loser Leaves Union, Who Will Design New Championship, America Vs China

February 1, 2013

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Seiya Morohashi Vs Goro Jr.
3. Cherry & Mio Shirai Vs Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama
4. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA Vs Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat Vs Daichi Kazato & SAGAT
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka
6. Ken Ohka Vs Keisuke Ishii

The one thing Keisuke Ishii has learned ever since he began wrestling in Union is that Ken Ohka is weak. He has fought against strong wrestlers but this is the first match Ishii knows he is by far the stronger wrestler. Ohka criticised Ishii for taking the match lightly and explained Ishii’s DDT Extreme Title reign was so short because he was not prepared enough. Ohka threw out a stipulation to show how serious he is. If Ishii wins, Ohka will resign from Union. But if Ohka wins, Team Dream Futures will withdraw from Union and leave them alone. Ishii accepted the conditions and guaranteed his victory. Mio Shirai suprisingly gave Ohka words of encouragement and told him never to give up.

Isami Kodaka is said to be enthusiastic he is facing Kengo Ohka one on one. They have wrestled each other before in a place where Ohka is better known as Kengo Mashimo and Kodaka wants to show how much he has improved since then.

Cherry once again had another major announcement to make. Except this time, it actually was pretty important. Cherry demanded that Union should create a championship for women and as the female face of Union she should be allowed to name and design the belt. Mio Shirai stepped in and said she should name and design the belt, since she finished ahead of Cherry in the DDT48 General Election and thus became Union’s top female wrestler. All the talk about championships attracted the attention of Kaori Yoneyama and if anyone knows about championships, it’s her. Naomi Susan settled the argument by booking a tag team match between Cherry & Shirai against Yoneyama & Masako Takanashi. Whoever wins the match will be given the rights to name and design the new championship.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai have sent out a challenge to New Beijing Pro Wrestling’s top tag team. Fukuda and Kasai have bonded over their love of all things American, even toilets. They agreed that even though traditional Japanese toilets are bad, China has even worse toilets because they don’t even have doors in their bathrooms. So Choun-Shiryu and Cao Zhang will travel over to Japan to defend the honour of their country… and their toilets.
