Ken Ohka and friends have successfully negotiated with New Japan to set up a tag team match in Korakuen Hall next month. It will be HARASHIMA & Ohka against Tanahashi and the young lion Yohei Komatsu. Tanahashi was critical of HARASHIMA after their match at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” in August. He also ridiculed the idea of treating DDT as if it was on the same level as New Japan. Since then HARASHIMA has requested a rematch to prove him wrong.

Isami Kodaka Launches Pro Wrestling BASARA

October 18, 2015

basara-forms

Last week during the DDT Dramatic General Election results show there was a few news items about the aftermath of Union’s closure. The big news is the formation of a new wrestling organisation called Pro Wrestling BASARA. Led by Isami Kodaka, BASARA aims to rebel against the industry’s current regime with flashy wrestling. Kodaka was joined by former Union wrestlers Hiroshi Fukuda, Daichi Kazato, Ryu Gouma and SAGAT as the first wrestlers signed to the new brand. FUMA has also joined the group according to Kodaka. Kazato said he wants to dye his own colours into BASARA, SAGAT said he will work hard for the new brand, Gouma said he is here because BASARA was missing intelligence and compliance without him, and Fukuda said he wants to continue pursuing the wrestling he believes in and that involves the power of singing.

The first four BASARA shows will take place next year on 21st January in Shinjuku, 5th February in Saitama, 21st February in Osaka and 26th February in Yokohama. Kodaka said he wants to book shows in more rural areas in Japan and might do two shows a month if BASARA becomes successful. He will continue to promote the Tavern Wrestling shows alongside BASARA aswell as take outside bookings but the new brand is his priority.

Not everyone from Union is jumping over to BASARA, instead they have gone down different roads. Seiya Morohashi, Cherry and Lady Beard have all been signed by DDT. Morohashi said a lot has changed in DDT during the six years he has been gone. Cherry is happy to return to the company she debuted for and she is now a coach in a wrestling school DDT is associated with. Lady Beard is excited to work for DDT. Shuji Ishikawa and Mitomi Masayuki have both become freelancers. Masayuki wants to work for a variety of groups and prefers to take bookings on his own from now on. He thanked the entire DDT company for everything he learned during his time here. Yusuke Kubo and Daichi are both leaving wrestling. Kubo has gone back to working for DDT’s video production team while Daichi wasn’t booked much even as a part-timer.

Election Results Tomorrow, KANNA Returns But Biishiki-gun Leaves, DNA 10

October 6, 2015

I’ll be on holiday for the next week so the blog updates will be sparse until 16th October. I’ll try to keep up to date on any big news about tomorrow’s show on Twitter.

DDT “DDT DRAMATIC GENERAL ELECTION 2015 RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT”, 07/10/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi & Mao Inoue Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda

A quick show is taking place in Korakuen Hall to announce the results of this year’s Dramatic General Election. There are only four matches but the rest of the show will be listing the results of both the single election and the unit election. An press conference will also take place about the future plans of Union’s wrestlers.

4. Goodbye Biishiki-gun: Saki Akai, Ai Shimizu & KANNA Vs Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi

KANNA returns from injury but it happens when her unit Biishiki-gun is about to disappear. It looks like Saki Akai doesn’t want to hang around Tokyo Joshi Pro for much longer after she lost to Shoko Nakajima last month so her group will probably go away.

DDT “DNA 10”, 12/10/2015

1. Suguru Miyatake Vs Daichi Kazato
2. No Mystery Brother Was Better Than His Brother!! The Time Has Come For The Oath! Now I More Than You!! ~ Grudge Liquidation Single Match: Dai Suzuki Vs Tigger Bedscene

Former DDT wrestlers Yusuke Inokuma & Keisuke Masuda are an unexpected addition to Match #1. Inokuma explains that he and Masuda always wanted to wrestle in Union but never could so this is their last chance. Whenever they were booked in Union they always wound up becoming sick on the day of the show. They were also always supposed to take on the hideous and violent team of Gaijin A and Gaijin A.

Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi & Katsuhiko Nakajima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda

Goooooooooood Morning Vietnam (Driver II)

September 25, 2015

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? ~DDT DRAMATIC GENERAL ELECTION 2015~”, 27/09/2015

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Ken Ohka
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Daisuke Sasaki has been honing his new Vietnam Driver II finisher all month long. The move has pinned Yukio Sakaguchi, earning Sasaki the KO-D Openweight Title match. However since then Sakaguchi has been figuring out how to counter it and he was able to pin Sasaki at a later show. Sasaki claims this is all part of his plan to win the title.

Things are looking up for #OhkaEmpire as they prepare to fight Team Drift one more time. Danshoku Dino has gotten the better of Keisuke Ishii in their recent matches together and Super Sasadango Machine re-established how powerful the Lehman Shock is. However Ken Ohka sticks out as the weak link of the team.

Joey Ryan has won all of his matches so far with the Sweet Tooth Music, a Super Kick to an opponent while they have a lollipop stuck in their mouth.

6. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Man Tag Team Match: X, X, X & X Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka, X & X

The Glove Match is scheduled to go on for five 3 minute rounds.

Showa Kayo is a nostalgic social scene in Japan based around music from the mid 20th century, aka the Showa era. So it is fitting for the match to have somebody like The Great Kojika involved.

Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Ganpuro-gun Vs Tomodachi-gun: Yukihiro Abe & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Hi69 & Madoka

In the main event Fujita & Bambi will face Ken Ohka and a female wrestler of his choosing. All we know is the wrestler represents Ganbare☆Joshi. Whichever team loses will be forced to banish a member of their group from Ganpuro.

6. Texas Tornado Hardcore Special Handicap Match: Ken Ohka, GENTARO, Shota & Bambi Vs Minoru Fujita, Hi69 & Osamu Namiguchi

Unfortunately Kris Wolf has to miss the show because she is recovering from a concussion. Ken Ohka contacted Stardom president Rossy Ogawa to get a replacement but he was told there won’t be one. Ohka still wants the 3 Way Match to go ahead so he is replacing Wolf with a gorilla to make this match even more of a crime against animal rights than it already is. Ohka assures everyone it is an actual gorilla and not a person in a gorilla costume.
