Tomorrow’s Lottery Show, Ishii Has The Fever (The Bad Kind)

Well this is a little odd. Only one match has been announced in advance for tomorrow’s show. The rest of the card is supposed to be filled with matches in the Team Dino Vs Team Nakazawa New Year series.

Keisuke Ishii is out of action with a high fever. He missed the New Year’s Eve show and also an AJPW Jr. Title match that was due to take place in All Japan today. DDT is currently searching for someone to replace his spot in Danshoku Dino’s team.

There is no timeframe for his recovery but it is certain he will be gone from Union for longer than the 60 day suspension.

Mitomi Masayuki Suspended, Michael Nakazawa Holiday Countdown

December 5, 2014

Mitomi Masayuki has been suspended from all Union and DDT related activity for 60 days starting from 6th December. Masayuki got in trouble after insulting DDT’s female fans on Twitter while promoting the upcoming BOYZ event being held later this month. Since BOYZ is marketed exclusively to women you can see that was a very stupid move on his part. As is usually the case, the tweets have since been deleted. Masayuki has apologised and the DDT website says he will reflect deeply on what he has done. Again, the usual stuff you hear when somebody gets into trouble.

Michael Nakazawa To Leave DDT

December 1, 2014

farewell-nakazawa

Michael Nakazawa announced today that he will soon leave DDT. He will be emigrating to Singapore in January next year to become a Japanese and English speaking instructor for a gym. However he will return for one final match in DDT when they run the Saitama Super Arena in February. Nakazawa decided it is a good business opportunity for him as he approaches turning 40 years old. However he is saying nothing in regards to actually retiring from pro wrestling. In fact he may get to be involved with any plans DDT has to expand into Singapore next year. Nakazawa’s final match will be against Danshoku Dino in a special match between the two.

*X is Shiori Asahi.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Soma Takao

This is it for Soma Takao. Can he prove he is on the main event level or was he just lucky to get the title shot?

Despite being out of action to recover from a fracture right heel, Sanshiro Takagi is being forced to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles along with Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Probably not the best timing to do this given the big story in wrestling this week. But it will most likely be a comedy match so he should be ok.

KUDO will debut a new theme song on this show. Farewell Shaolin Soccer soundtrack!

Shota revealed his reasons for turning on Ken Ohka and Ganbare☆Wrestling. Shota thinks that Ganpuro has lost its heat and excitement. Nobody in Ganpuro fights as crazy as they used to so he decided to join forces with someone who does, it just so happens to be the enemy. Shota believes he and Mitomi Masayuki share something in common. They both fight with a sense of crisis. He wants to create something new and start a revolution in Ganpuro.

Former DDT wrestler Yukihiro Abe has come to Ganpuro. He and Yumehito Imanari reunited after last seeing each other 4 years ago when Imanari directed a documentary about Abe. When Ken Ohka found out, he was so excited he made Imanari Vs Abe for this show.

Hong Kong International Police Man is coming back even though he was last revealed to be the banished Atsushi Maruyama. Will it be the same guy this time?
