4. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B
5. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & X

The monthly Union press conference was held today to promote their next event in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 10th March. Kaori Yoneyama introduced the brand new championship she named and designed herself, the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title. Even though the actual title belt itself has not been created yet, Kaori had a drawing of what the belt is supposed to look like. She said she wants the finished belt to be pink and silver. Cherry appeared and said she did not like Kaori’s design. However, she still wanted to be the first champion. Rumi Kazama has been appointed the commissioner of the belt and chose Kaori and Cherry as the two wrestlers who will battle to be crowned the first champion.

The Giant Recital is a Fans Bring The Instruments match. Musical instruments are legal to use as weapons and Union is asking its fans to supply them. Ken Ohka was originally planned to team with Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA but his spot is now vacant after he forced himself out of Union.

Ganbare Goodness, Yokohama Twilight, Meet Ibushi’s Friend

February 28, 2013

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “JUDGEMENT PRE-EVENT”, 06/03/2013
Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic

1. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
2. Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Behold… another Goddamn DDT spin off! Ganbare☆Wrestling is the creation of Ken Ohka, the eternal Union young lion. After forcing himself out of his longtime home for suffering defeat in a Loser Leaves Town match, Ohka eventually found money to start his own wrestling company. He promoted Ganbare’s debut pre-event at the Shin-Kiba 1st RING parking lot today but was interrupted by Brian Cannon, formerly known as Dingo from Osaka Pro. Cannon confronted Ohka and told him he disgraced his hero Jushin Liger at Korakuen Hall years ago (they had a match once, it’s wasn’t great). Cannon took out a mannequin head wearing a Liger mask and attacked a photographer with it before getting into a scuffle with Ohka. Cannon demanded a match for the Ganbare show and told Ohka he wouldn’t get away with disgracing his hero.

Another match signed is part time wrestler and Golden Rendezvouz manager Yumehito Imanari versus Osamu Namiguchi, a failed trainee from Zero1.

Ohka has also gotten Batten Tamagawa involved with Ganpuro. Tamagawa will use the name Ganbare Tamagawa whenever he wrestles for Ohka’s brand.

Will Keisuke Ishii ever find that missing element to improve himself? Sanshiro Takagi is the one who is constantly telling him who to look for. Maybe Ishii can beat the answer out of Takagi himself.

Last Man Standing, Nazo Fukumen, Masayuki Car Accident, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling 2nd Preview

February 25, 2013

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

The friendship between Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa has turned sour over the KO-D Championship. Omega offered Nakazawa the title shot in the hopes to show the world that his buddy can be a serious wrestler. Nakazawa accepted but kept to his sleazy ways, low blowing Kenny and embarrassing him at Korakuen Hall. Then yesterday at Shin-Kiba 1st RING, Nakazawa went through a gauntlet of 7 wrestlers to prepare himself. He lost to every single one of them. Then Kenny low blowed him partly for payback but also to try and convince Nakazawa to take their title match seriously. He’ll have to because this one match show on Thursday will be fought under Last Man Standing rules. DDT will be using the rule where you have to pin your opponent for the three count before the referee can begin counting to ten.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B

Two mysteriously masked people have invaded Union. The anonymous man and woman are both being referred to as Nazo Fukumen. They kidnapped Jun Kasai and held him hostage at the end of “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”. Their demand was to get booked in Union. Naomi Susan apparently recognises who they are and gave in to their demands without any resistance. The Nazo Fukumen are going to face Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda in a tag team match.

Kengo Ohka, Madoka, Kaori Yoneyama & Gabaiji-chan will also appear on the show. Yoneyama is currently busy designing the brand new championship to be introduced into Union soon. Mitomi Masayuki was supposed to make his Union debut but that has been put off after he fractured his left ankle in a car accident. He will be out of action for at least the entire month of March.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2013”, 20/03/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal:
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie won the tournament yesterday to earn this title shot. While a possible rematch with Kenny Omega looks likely, the wrestling world can take a strange twist and have Michael Nakazawa win the KO-D Title and defend it against Irie instead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE SECOND MEETING”, 25/03/2013
Shibuya Deseo

Miyu Yamashita, KANNA & Chikage Kiba return for their second Tokyo Women’s Wrestling preview event.

8. DDT Extreme Title – Fan’s Choice: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Something is brewing in regards to Michael Nakazawa. Four days before his KO-D Title shot against Kenny Omega, he has set up the NAKAZAWA 7 which at the moment looks like a 7-Way free for all. But knowing how sneaky Michael can be, it may become something very different.

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa is a match so important it has to get it’s own show! Even though Omega nominated Nakazawa to be his next challenger out of friendship, Michael wants to prove he is good enough to be champion. With the KO-D Title on stake, this match won’t be fun and games for either man.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Ken Ohka has jumped to DDT! He interrupted a meeting between Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi earlier today that was done to create hype for the 2-on-1 Handicap match that will determine whether or not Owashi deserves a spot in DDT. Barely a day has past since Ohka forced himself to resign from Union after his defeat to Keisuke Ishii in a Loser Leaves Town match yet he claims “The Messiah” is already in hot demand from other promotions. Both Takagi and Owashi told Ohka if that is true then he should go away and join WWE or TNA. Tsurumi Amon decided to make things fair for Owashi and turn the Handicap match into a Tag Team match with Ohka as his teammate.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. DDT Extreme Title – Fan’s Choice: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Anyone who attends the 17/2 Korakuen Hall event will be able to vote for what kind of match Kenny Omega and Seiya Morohashi will have for their DDT Extreme Title bout in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Some of the suggestions Omega and Morohashi came up with are a TLC match, a Falls Count Anywhere match, an ABC match (match can only be won with a move beginning with the letter A, B or C), a First Blood match, a Bodybuilding match, a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match and a Stretch Match (first person to stretch his opponent wins).

DDT X Stardom Street Assault

February 12, 2013

ddt-stardom

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.

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
3. KUDO Comeback Match: KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
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!

February 5, 2013

ultimatesuperstarsaction

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.
