El Generico Defends DDT Extreme Title In Hawaii

December 20, 2011

AZW “BATTLECLASH VII”, 19/12/11
FilCom Center, Waipahu, Hawaii

DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) defeated Kaimana.
*V3 for El Generico?

Not sure if this will be officially recognised by DDT and Union but El Generico successfully defended the DDT Extreme Championship when he defeated Kaimana at last night’s Action Zone Wrestling event in Hawaii. Not much information about the match is available right now except for a mention on both Generico and Kaimana’s Twitter accounts. With that little detour out of the way, Generico will return to Japan on 3rd January to face Isami Kodaka in a main event title match for “1…2…3…UNION!” in Korakuen Hall.

Complete Cards For Final Three Shows Of The Year

December 15, 2011

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS DECEMBER EDITION”, 21/12/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Shota & Rion Mizuki Vs Hiro Tonai & Kotaro Nasu
3. Shigehiro Irie Vs Akito
4. Takao Soma & Toru Sugiura Vs Kyosuke Mikami & Hiromu Takahashi
5. Keisuke Ishii Vs Kazuki Hirata

The New Japan young lions return for another round with DDT. This time they are facing a more experienced wrestler in Takao Soma. But Soma’s partner Toru Sugiura could be finding himself out of his depth when he steps into the ring.

DDT “IKATSU PEYOKAPPE IN IBARAKI 2011”, 23/12/2011
Tsukaba Ibaraki Kapio

1. Danshoku Dino & DJ Nira Vs Masa Takanashi & Mitsuhiro Yoshida
2. Shigehiro Irie & Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
3. Keisuke Ishii Vs Yasu Urano
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Ivan Markov & Bonnie Vs Tanomusaku Toba, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa
5. 3 Way: Takao Soma Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. KUDO & HARASHIMA Vs MIKAMI & Hikaru Sato

Due to the recent alliance between Sanshiro Takagi and the IWF (see below), Takagi’s match for this show has been changed. Sanshiro Takagi was supposed to team with Michael Nakazawa to wrestle Tanomusaku Toba & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Now Takagi is teaming up with Ivan Markov & Bonnie while Nakazawa finds himself teaming with his original opponents.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2011”, 31/12/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Rion Mizuki Vs Shota
1. Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
2. Runner Vs Runner: Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Kenny Omega & DJ Nira Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki
4. 48 Group Vs Homoiro Clover Z: Sanshiro Takagi, Vladamir Nagai, Ivan Markov, Poison JULIE Sawada & Hoshitango (w/ Bonnie) Vs Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, Gran Hamada, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Hikari Minami)
5. HARASHIMA & Takao Soma Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Satoshi Kajiwara
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino
7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs MIKAMI

A correction on yesterday’s update. The TKG Rogue Army and Russia’s KGB48 were actually joining forces, not declaring war on each other. Instead, Sanshiro Takagi is bringing together representatives of many international 48-strong Wrestling Idol groups to fight Homoiro Clover Z. This has created a 10-Man Tag Team match for New Year’s Eve in Korakuen Hall. On one side is the Homoiro team of Danshoku Dino and Makoto Oishi plus new Z members Gran Hamada, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda. On the other side is Sanshiro Takagi (TKG Rogue Army), Vladamir Nagai (KGB48), Ivan Markov (KGB48), Poison JULIE Sawada (PJS48) and Hoshitango (SUMO48). Hikari Minami and Bonnie will both be at ringside cheering for their respective sides.

After his recent visit to Union, Katsuhiko Nakajima will now show up in DDT with his fellow Kensuke Office pal Satoshi Kajiwara. HARASHIMA & Takao Soma will be the DDT team for this match.

TKG Rogue Army, KGB48, Japan Vs Mexico? Twitter War!

December 14, 2011

DDT “NEVER MIND 2011”, 31/12/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Runner Vs Runner: Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. TKG Rogue Army Vs Homoiro Clover Z: X & X Vs X & X
3. Kenny Omega & DJ Nira Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino
5. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs MIKAMI

We’re going to need a flowchart for this one. Sanshiro Takagi has created a splinter group from the now obsolete TKG48 called the TKG Rogue Army. So far himself and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi are members of the group and they want to face wrestlers from around the world. Yoshiaki Yago & KENSO are already confirmed to face them Korakuen Hall for the Union 3rd January event. Takagi & KENSO have a bad history together. In 2006 the two fought in a No Rope Exploding Barbed-Wire match which KENSO won. Takagi described his defeat to the previously known Kenso Suzuki as a catastrophe. However, KENSO is not the only thing Takagi (and us too) has to worry about…

Russian wrestlers Ivan Markov & Bonnie from the IWF approached Takagi during a video message taped for DDT’s UStream channel. They told Takagi about Russia’s premier Wrestling Idol group, the KGB48. Furthermore, they revealed that they and their agent Vladamir Nagai were very important members of the faction. Takagi told them that he knows many wrestling groups from around the world and that together they will all form an “Allied Bukkake” and declare war on Homoiro Clover Z. The first match between the two groups will take place on New Year’s Eve.

UNION “1…2…3…UNION!”, 03/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Loser Must Follow Winner On Twitter: Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs RG
2. Cherry Vs Ayumi Kurihara
3. American Mixed Tag Team Titles: NOSAWA Rongai & Io Shirai (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs KENSO & Yoshiaki Yago
5. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The rocky relationship between Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai is starting to pay off. They have been granted a championship match for Korakuen Hall next month. It turns out their opponents will be NOSAWA Rongai and Io Shirai, Mio’s sister. While Mio and Io have probably had more wrestling matches against each other than they’ve had hot meals, Mio isn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of Ohka being in the ring with her sister. But that’s more because of the risk that Ohka will get his ass kicked rather than Ohka finding a way to take advantage of Io. However, Ohka has no such perverted thoughts and is seeing this as his best chance to become a champion again. With the Union/IWF relationship creating a Japan Vs Russia atmosphere, Ohka somehows sees this match as Japan Vs Mexico due to NOSAWA & Io’s frequent trips to the country.

The stipulation for Hiroshi Fukuda Vs RG has been decided. The loser of the match must follow the winner’s Twitter account. Fukuda is now encouraging his fans to stop communicating with RG on Twitter and instead retweet his own messages. There is still a very large gap in the amount of followers both wrestlers get (42,779 Vs 565 as of this post), but Fukuda is confident he will be the David against RG’s Goliath. He is counting on each and every one of his 565 followers to give him the power to defeat RG once the match takes place.

Team

Let’s have a look at the DDT and Union involvement here so far. Takao Soma and Akito will be among the pretty boys taking part in the opener. Hiroshi Fukuda then takes part in the young lion Six Man Tag. Danshoku Dino will produce some sort of competition that will no doubt disturb everyone in attendance. HARASHIMA follows that with a Six Man Tag Team Challenge bout. Poor Ken Ohka drew the short straw for his match, as he is involved in a Lighttube death match with some of Big Japan’s most violent wrestlers. Shuji Ishikawa teams up with Daisuke Sekimoto to form a brick wall of a tag team. Finally, the gauntlet will contain Daisuke Sasaki, Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda, Masa Takanashi and Chou-un Shiryu, with possibly one or two more winning the last vacant spot reserved for a fan vote that will take place on an upcoming episode of Occupation Of The Indies.

The main event is a rematch of the two teams over the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Last time the match took place to determine who would win the vacant championship. This time around Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie go into the match as champions. Meanwhile Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have gelled well together as part of their Homoiro Clover Z group.

UNION “THE UNION SHIWASU 2011”, 14/12/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Masao Orihara & Big Morohashi Vs Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) & Akito

Every match in Isami Kodaka’s gauntlet main event will have a 10 minute time limit. Kengo Ohka (aka Kengo Mashimo) was already confirmed to be one of Kodaka’s opponents and now the current KO-D Openweight Champion KUDO has been revealed to take part aswell. Isami said that the trial is the perfect challenge for him before his rematch with El Generico as he will take on the strongest wrestlers from both DDT and Union. KUDO senses that the entire Union brand is still frustrated over him beating Shuji Ishikawa to win the KO-D Title in Sumo Hall back in July.

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS DECEMBER EDITION”, 21/12/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Hiroshi Fukuda

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs RG
2. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Hiroshi Fukuda announced that he will face TV personality and former HUSTLE wrestler RG at Union’s 3rd January Korakuen Hall event. Rumi Kazama used her connections to find a famous name for the young lion to fight so Fukuda would himself become famous for beating up a celebrity. Rumi ended up choosing RG because he has over 42,000 followers on Twitter. Fukuda said he believes the number of Twitter followers a person has is like the Power Levels in Dragon Ball Z, so by his logic RG must be very powerful. Fukuda meanwhile, only has 548 followers. It does not sound good for the rookie but there is hope for him yet. Fukuda has challenged RG to put his amount of followers on the line in a winner takes all battle! No word yet on whether or not RG has accepted the stipulation.

KENSO and Io Shirai will also take part in the show (and may God have mercy on all of us who watch KENSO’s match).

Maid Cafe Pro Wrestling, Union’s Russian Connection, Pink Kneel Kick

December 7, 2011

DDT “MAID CAFE PRO WRESTLING”, 10/12/2011
Fukuoka Meinohama Cafe

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Hikaru Sato Vs KUDO & Michael Nakazawa

The Falls Count Anywhere match that DDT is infamous for doing will next take place in a maid cafe. Sanshiro Takagi will be involved in the match and he has chosen Hikaru Sato to be his tag team partner. Sato accepted the offer to take part so he could wrestle in his maid outfit again. Takagi & Sato chose KUDO & Michael Nakazawa as their opponents because they wanted to fight a champion and a punching bag respectively.

There will be a lottery to choose who among the audience will be allowed sit inside the cafe while the match is taking place. This is being done because DDT will be paying the cafe for cleaning fees as well as any damage they cause during the match. The fans who do not win will still be able to watch from the outside.

UNION “THE UNION SHIWASU 2011”, 14/12/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. SGP Global Jr. Heavyweight Title – 3 Way: Cosmic Warrior Sofia (c) Vs Ultraman Robin Vs Mother Justine
2. Masao Orihara & Big Morohashi Vs Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) & Akito
3. Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka Vs Ivan Markov & Bonnie
4. Isami Kodaka 3 Match Trial: Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka, X & X
5. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya

There is some news about Union and its association with Russia’s Independent Wrestling Federation. The IWF will be sending over Ivan Markov and Bonnie to compete against Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai in a Inter-Gender Tag Team match. Union will continue its relationship with the IWF by having Mitsuya Nagai act as an agent to overlook negotiations between the two promotions. As a result of his new job, Mitsuya now refers to himself as Vladimir Nagai. Could this business relationship lead to a few Union wrestlers competing for IWF in Russia sometime next year?

DDT “PINK KNEEL KICK! VOL. 1”, 03/03/2012
Tokorozawa Civic Gymnasium

During today’s show, Keisuke Ishii announced that he will begin producing his own wrestling events for DDT, the first of which will take place in Tokorozawa, Saitama on 3rd March next year. Ishii is hoping the show will have a great turnout.

3. Isami Kodaka 3 Match Trial: Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka, X & X
4. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya

Shuji Ishikawa has chosen Shigehiro Irie as his partner to face the Kensuke Office team of Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya in the main event. Also, Shuji and Sanshiro Takagi have also put aside their differences after the Union Sekigun Vs TKG48 feud.

Isami Kodaka will go through a three match trial in preparation for his DDT Extreme Title rematch against El Generico that will take place in January. Kengo Ohka is the first opponent confirmed to face the Death Match Samurai. Kodaka’s good friend and fellow Big Japan tag team partner Yuko Miyamoto was originally supposed to be the second opponent but he had to pull out of the show due to a scheduling conflict. That now means both the second and third opponents will be mystery wrestlers.

Mio Shirai revealed she will have a photo spread in the new issue of “Young Union”, the event programme that will be available at the show. Ken Ohka confronted her, arguing that he should be on the cover. He also did not want to see any photos of Mio wearing swimsuits and doing suggestive poses appearing in the magazine. Mio shut Ken up by putting him in the dreaded Figure Four Necklock and choking him out.

KUDO has been a fighting champion since winning the KO-D Openweight Title, defeating two former KO-D Champions in the process. If he beats MIKAMI on New Year’s Eve, KUDO will not only beat a third KO-D Champion but he will also tie with Sanshiro Takagi for most defences of the title. Meanwhile, Crying Wolf could already win their first championship with Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino facing either Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie or Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi, depending on whichever team wins the Hakata Star Lanes main event on 11/12.
