2. What Happened To Endo Interrogation: Danshoku Dino Vs Tetsuya Endo

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY”, 01/12/2013
Kitizawa Town Hall

1. Ayumi Takada Vs KANNA
2. Ura Erika & Shoko Nakajima Vs Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

The first proper Tokyo Joshi Pro card is now shaping up. Miyu Yamashita and Chikage Kiba will face off for the second time in their careers. Yamashita won the first bout but Kiba is confident and noted that while her opponent practices her kicks a lot, she never focuses on her ground game which is Kiba’s main strength.

The rest of the card is filling up with new faces. Ura Erika is an idol and part time wrestler. She currently stars in a pro wrestling influenced sentai show called Fire Leon. Nonoko is a “K-Cup Talent” who will have her debut wrestling match at the show. Ayumi Takada is a member of Hiroshi Fukuda’s DPG pop group. She’s the one dressed as Hit Girl and goes by the stage name Ayumi Stephanie. However she will use her real name for wrestling.

Roses Are Red, The Bruises Are Blue, Union Is Weird, That Much Is True

November 12, 2013

UNION “WORK IS BEAUTIFUL”, 23/11/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs MEN’S Teioh
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Menso~re Oyaji
3. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs FUMA

The 1,000 Roses Death Match returns to Union after it was introduced in March 2012. It is a hardcore match where the ropes and every weapon in the arena is covered in roses brought in by the fans. There is also a bonus rule where a rope break only counts if there are no roses on the rope being touched. This time around it will just be a singles match between Shuji Ishikawa and FUMA. This will be a good warm up for Ishikawa before he goes into the Union Championship decision match in December. A win for FUMA could very well convince Naomi Susan to pick him as Shuji’s opponent for that title match.

The legendary MEN’S Teioh will wrestle in Union for the first time this month facing Hiroshi Fukuda. If there is anyone that can put up with Fukuda’s nonsense, it’s Teioh.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega believes that when the Golden Lovers formed and won the KO-D Tag Team Titles in 2009 they were the best team in DDT. In 2010 they became legendary and he thinks they are still the best tag team not just in DDT but in the world. He acknowledged how popular Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto are but thinks they are not in the same league as himself and Ibushi.

3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega

It’s Yankii Ni Cho Kenju Vs The Golden Lovers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Both Isami Kodaka and Kota Ibushi are coming off of some major changes in their careers. Ibushi has that contract with New Japan while Kodaka recently became the BJW Death Match Champion. The tag team champions might find their goal of 100 title defences end after their third.

HARASHIMA has granted Antonio Honda a rematch for his newly won DDT Extreme Title, this time in a different match type to be decided.

If Danshoku Dino’s team wins the Six-Man Tag match, they will become No. 1 Contender’s for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

Isami & Masa’s Trip To Russia

October 29, 2013

IWF “Реслиады”, 26/10/2013
Moscow Mossovet Theatre
700 Fans

3. Ilya Malkin defeated Masa Takanashi with the Harpoon.
6. IWF Title: Ivan Markov (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the Locobomb.
*V? for Ivan Markov

Isami Kodaka and Masa Takanashi were in Russia during the weekend wrestling for the Independent Wrestling Federation. While Takanashi was facing different members of the roster, Kodaka was right in the thick of it with the IWF Champion, Ivan Markov. On Night 1 the two faced each other with the title on the line. The match was turned into a Hardcore match by request of Markov after both of them brought in chairs. Despite making Markov bleed heavily with a broken seat piece, Kodaka eventually lost to the champion. After the match, Ronnie Crimson ran into the ring to attack Markov but Kodaka came to the rescue and ran Crimson away.

IWF “Реслиады”, 27/10/2013
Nizhny Novgorod GAZ Culture Center
250 Fans

5. Masa Takanashi defeated Sergey Beliy by Pinfall.
8. 3 Way Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Ivan Markov and Ronnie Crimson when Kodaka pinned Crimson with the Isamu Leg.

A 3 Way Match between Markov, Crimson and Kodaka was set up for the next night. Kodaka used the numbers game to his advantage, waiting for Crimson to take out Markov and then jumping in to pin Crimson with the Isamu Leg.

Thanks go out to @IamCorvaX for sending me the results.

3. Survival Tobita Vs J-Soul Pandita III
4. Ken Ohka Vs Bad Tension TAMAGAWA

Bad Tension TAMAGAWA wants to prove he has grown stronger and promises to fight fair and square. Osamu Namiguchi on the other hand is so strong that Yumehito Imanari has to team with Gorikiko in a Handicap Match just to have a chance of beating him at full strength.

After winning the G3 Climax back in August, Shota now aims to become the ace of Ganbare☆Wrestling. Osochin Aries is his hand picked opponent to kick start his journey.

The Champion Vs Champion matches continue. For the second time in 2013 the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Extreme Title will both be put on the line and for the moment the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title will be involved too. HARASHIMA won the Iron Man Title from Danshoku Dino, defending the KO-D Title in the process. Antonio Honda won a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament (which I now consider a bigger achievement than winning the Bound For Glory Series) to become the number one contender.

Double Title Match This Sunday!

October 18, 2013

DDT “SPECIAL 2013”, 20/10/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
DDT48 General Election Ranking In Parentheses

0. Dark Match – 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (#23) Vs Michael Nakazawa (#14) & DJ Nira (#25)
1. 3 Way Match: Cherry (#10) Vs KUDO (#14) Vs MIKAMI (#15)
2. Konosuke Takeshita (#13) Vs Hiroshi Fukuda (#16)
3. Masa Takanashi (#12) Vs Daisuke Sasaki (#20)
4. Soma Takao (#7), Keisuke Ishii (#18) & Shigehiro Irie (#20) Vs Isami Kodaka (#2), Cherry (#6) & Yasu Urano (#11)
5. Kota Ibushi (#3) & Kenny Omega (#8) Vs Hikaru Sato (#5) & Akito (#17)
6. DDT Extreme Title: Antonio Honda (c) (#19) Vs Super Sasadango Machine (9th)
7. KO-D Openweight Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) (#4) Vs Danshoku Dino (c) (#1)

The entire reason the DDT48 General Election exists finally pays off with this show on Sunday. Everyone on the card was voted in by the results of the election.

The main event is now a double title match. Danshoku Dino won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from KUDO in Sapporo last week. He promises to defeat HARASHIMA so he can hold both the KO-D Openweight Title and Iron Man Title at the same time. The last time both titles were defended in the same match was Kota Ibushi Vs Yoshihiko in 2009, one week shy of it being exactly four years ago. Ibushi won that match but Yoshihiko won back the Iron Man Title almost immediately afterwards. So yeah, don’t be surprised if something like that happens again.

The stipulations for the DDT Extreme Title match between Antonio Honda and the instantly popular Super Sasadango Machine will be announced during the show.
