Three Total Worlds, COZY Heaven Police Mobilised!

November 28, 2012

DDT “THREE TOTAL WORLDS”, 16/12/2012
Hakata Star Lanes

1. Michael Nakazawa Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Yuto Aijima, Azul Dragon & Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi
3. Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie Vs Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Batten Tamagawa
4. Maki Narumiya Vs Neko Nitta
5. Double Ring 5 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Kenny Omega Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Hikaru Sato
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MIKAMI & Tatsumi Fujinami (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi

The Imanari Team of Kota Ibushi and his chubby doppelganger Gota Ihashi have been given a KO-D Tag Team Title shot after Ihashi requested for one at Korakuen Hall this past weekend. Ihashi looks ready to kick it up a notch and finally become a more established member of the DDT roster. The key might be for him to copy Ibushi even more. The colours and design of his ring gear is now identical to Ibushi’s.

A change in the card sees Antonio Honda taken out of the Double Ring match. Danshoku Dino and Hikaru Sato are both added in, making this a 5 Way Match. Honda is now in a Monster Army plus Batten Tamagawa (for America!) Vs Team Dream Futures bout.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2012”, 23/12/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi Vs HARASHIMA & Hiro Tsumaki
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima Vs Monster Army
3. KO-D Openweight Title: El Generico (c) Vs Kenny Omega

Two months after they teamed together over in America for PWG, El Generico and Kenny Omega will soon collide over in Japan for DDT. Omega has voiced his displeasure at seeing Generico quickly achieve what he could not, victories over Kota Ibushi and winning the KO-D Openweight Championship. Generico has chosen Omega as his next challenger so the Canadian now has a chance to win the title he craves so much.

Antonio Honda’s stealing spree in the DDT locker room has gotten out of hand. His bad habit of stealing wrestling gear to sell online and raise funds for the Monster Army has finally gotten him into trouble. The straw that broke the camel’s back is a suitcase with a mystery item inside that Honda stole from Tsurumi Amon. Sanshiro Takagi has hired two powerful men to go after the Monster Army for their crimes. The team is none other than Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima! Takagi and TenKoji have banded together to become the COZY Police Force and their goal is to stop Honda from stealing more stuff. Takagi also wants his 3:46 entrance vest back, which Honda stole and gave to Hoshitango. The unknown factor right now is who out of the Monster Army will fight the Police. Will it be all of them?

First Matches For New Year’s Eve Announced, 3 Way Federation Tournament

November 23, 2012

“NEW YEAR’S EVE WRESTLING 2012”, 31/12/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Special Single Match: Osamu Nishimura Vs Atsushi Ohashi or Hiroshi Fukuda

5. Big Japan Vs KAIENTAI-DOJO: Shinya Ishikawa & Shinobu Vs Taishi Takizawa & Yuki Sato
6. Big Japan Vs DDT: Kazuki Hashimoto Vs Takao Soma

A partial card for the 2012 New Year’s Eve supershow has been revealed. Shiori Asahi, Atsushi Ohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda and Kaji Tomato got together today to announce that this year’s event will be based around a three way tournament between Big Japan, DDT and KAIENTAI-DOJO. There will be a point system in place but how many points will be on the line for each match is so far unknown. Inspired by the Olympics held earlier in the summer, there will also be non-wrestling contests taking place throughout the show.

Osamu Nishimura’s opponent will be decided by a Samurai TV! survey. The survey will determine whether or not Atsushi Ohashi or Hiroshi Fukuda will be a suitable opponent for Nishimura. Ohashi said he should get the match because he is the “Bridge Ace” of Big Japan. Fukuda said he should get the match because the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Champion is the perfect opponent for a man who is a “legitimate successor” of the AWA and NWA style of wrestling.

So far the only woman signed up for the Cinderella Championship match is Emi Sakura. The title has been hyped up to be more important than any of the championships from the three promotions. However, they haven’t been able to find any suitable wrestlers to compete against Sakura. Shiori Asahi said he is taking applications from the public for potential challengers.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

The two sides for the Castle Siege Death Match met each other on neutral grounds (the Dropkick Bar in Shinjuku) to determine the rules for their upcoming war in detail. The only problem was Sanshiro Takagi hadn’t thought up of the rules yet. Thinking on the spot, Takagi decided that both teams will have a castle made out of 20 chairs each set up inside Korakuen Hall. Tsurumi Amon wasn’t pleased with the idea because those 40 chairs might be needed for the audience. Takagi then came up with the idea of each castle having features like a keep, a gun turret and a moat. Amon said that would be impossible because DDT does not have the money to build such features (maybe they could cut a deal with the porn studio that built a house inside Korakuen for Big Japan back in 2003). He told the two sides that if they wanted siege weaponry, they would have to pay for it themselves. Takagi searched through his pockets for money and found 1,350 yen, a movie ticket stub, some receipts and a Chinese restaurant voucher. Everyone else pitched in and eventually both sides ended up with a war chest of 30,000 yen each to spend on their arsenal.
