Poison Sawada JULIE has been having nothing but bad luck since his return to the ring. After losing to MIKAMI at Sumo Hall and then getting dismantled by Daisuke Sasaki during Beer Fight week, Sawada visited a fortune teller to search for a solution to his problems. The fortune teller told him that the name ‘Poison Sawada JULIE’ is filled with bad vibes. If he was to change his name, it could lead to a new golden age for Sawada. So now Sawada is currently searching through his scrolls and studying his ancient scripts in the hopes of discovering a name that will lead to a new chapter of his life. He will debut his new moniker at Korakuen Hall.

Golden Lovers Get Got, Ibushi Gets It All Together

August 14, 2011

NJPW, 14/08/11
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
11,500 Fans

IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title: Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when Devitt pinned Omega after the Black Sunday (15:01).
*V6 for Apollo 55.

The Golden Lovers returned to New Japan Pro Wrestling to battle with Apollo 55 once more over the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles. It was the fourth time these two teams faced each other with the belts on the line. This time Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi were victorious when Devitt pinned Kenny Omega with the Black Sunday double team finisher. Apollo 55 and The Golden Lovers both have two wins each in their series but surely it will be a long time until they wrestle each other again.

NJPW/AJPW/NOAH “ALL TOGETHER”, 27/08/11
Tokyo Nippon Budokan

ALL TOGETHER Opening Match ~ SUNRISE OF J: Kota Ibushi, Taiji Ishimori, Hiroshi Yamato & BUSHI Vs Tiger Mask, Kaz Hayashi, Shuji Kondo & Ricky Marvin

Kota Ibushi will be taking part in one of the most important wrestling events to take place in Japan this year. The “ALL TOGETHER” event will be a festival of wrestling consisting of crossover matches featuring the New Japan, All Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH rosters. All proceeds from the show will go to charities of the earthquake disaster from earlier this year. As IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Ibushi will get to be a part of the show in the first match of the night. The SUNRISE OF J bout will have Ibushi teaming with Taiji Ishimori from NOAH and Hiroshi Yamato & BUSHI from AJPW to take on New Japan’s Tiger Mask, Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo from All Japan, and finally NOAH’s Ricky Marvin.

Changes To Beer Fight Card, DDT In Your House

August 11, 2011

DDT “BEER FIGHT 2011 ~ DDT DAY”, 13/08/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. MIKAMI Vs DJ Nira
2. Antonio Honda, Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Michael Nakazawa, Sexxxy Eddy & Ryan Genesis
3. Hikaru Sato & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie
4. HARASHIMA & HERO! Vs Yasu Urano & Hoshitango
5. Poison Sawada JULIE Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. Customer Draw 6 Man Tag Team: KUDO, Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii and Masa Takanashi

Some alterations have been made for the final day of “BEER FIGHT 2011”. Yasu Urano replaces MIKAMI in Match #4. MIKAMI will now face DJ Nira in the opener. Kazuki Hirata is bumped up into the second match to team with Antonio Honda & Makoto Oishi to face Michael Nakazawa and two wrestlers of his choice. They turned out to be Sexxxy Eddy and Ryan Genesis.

Here is DDT’s latest crazy idea: Apartment Pro Wrestling. On 24th August an apartment somewhere in Tokyo will be the location for a DDT wrestling match. No names or detailed location has been mentioned yet. That’s not all, a contest for fans will be held during the Beer Fight DDT Day show with the prize being a ticket to see the show inside the apartment. Only ten tickets will be given out and no more will be available at all after that. So yeah, some poor sod is going to have people like Kota Ibushi and Danshoku Dino come over to his place and wreck the gaff.

IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) defeated Ryusuke Taguchi with the Phoenix Splash (16:10).
*V2 for Ibushi.

Kota Ibushi remains the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion after defeating Ryusuke Taguchi in the opening show of the famous G1 CLIMAX tour. With both Taguchi and Prince Devitt failing to win back the title for New Japan, Ibushi currently has no challengers for the belt. Now Ibushi will team up with Kenny Omega to battle Apollo 55 once more, this time with the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Titles at stake. That match will take place on 14th August at the final show of the G1 tour.

Kensuke Office, 31/07/2011

Summer Volcano Tag Tournament – Round 1: Kenichiro Arai & Namazu Man defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima & Michael Nakazawa when Nakazawa was disqualified (19:30).

Michael Nakazawa took part in the Summer Volcano Tag Tournament for Kensuke Office yesterday, teaming with Katsuhiko Nakajima. Unfortunately for them, the team were eliminated in the first round by Namazu Man and Dragon Gate’s Kenichiro Arai.

Kids Fight ~Haruka’s Pro-Wrestling Story Summer Vacation Chapter~: Haruka Vs Kenny Omega ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).

On the same day DDT held the “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011” show, Kenny Omega made an earlier appearance for the new Stardom joshi promotion at Korakuen Hall. Omega was there to take on Stardom’s youngest wrestler, a nine year old girl named Haruka. Kenny tried to be a good sport before the match by offering a handshake, but Haruka kicked his hand away. The two fought to a 3 minute draw with the bell ringing right when Omega was about to use his Croyt’s Wrath finishing move. Afterwards Omega offered another handshake to the little girl but got a slap across the face instead. Haruka won over the crowd and Omega once again learned that Japanese children are violent little brats.

UNION “BEER FIGHT 2011” Card, New DDT Matches

July 29, 2011

UNION “BEER FIGHT 2011 ~ UNION DAY”, 07/08/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka
2. Rock & Roll Deathmatch: Big Morohashi Vs A.YAZAWA Vs Hiroya Fukuda
3. Ken Ohka Vs Taichi
4. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Cherry
5. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Sexxxy Eddy

Apparently Isami Kodaka wanted to defend the DDT Extreme Title against Cherry in a Sexy Diva Deathmatch but the idea was quickly shot down by Naomi Susan. Instead Kodaka will defend the belt against Canadian sensation (the kind you should have checked by your doctor), Sexxxy Eddy! Doesn’t explain why poor little Cherry now has to fight Shuji Ishikawa. Unless it’s an excuse to dress Shuji up in joshi gear again (*shudders).

Ken Ohka has laid out a challenge to Taichi of New Japan for the show. Ken has promised to unleash his full fighting spirit against Taichi.

Takao Soma is the newest member of the TKG48. His membership number is #38. This will be his first match as part of the group when it battles against their arch rivals the Susan Guard once more.

Sato Vs Suzuki, Thank You

July 26, 2011

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2011”, 28/08/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Minoru Suzuki Vs Hikaru Sato

Events at this weekend’s Ryogoku show has led to a major match set for Korakuen Hall next month. Minoru Suzuki pretty much destroyed Hikaru Sato when they fought each other during the 5 Vs 5 Elimination match. Sato wants to make up for it by challenging Suzuki to a singles match. Even though Sato grew up as a PANCRASE fighter like Suzuki, he now sees himself as a DDT wrestler and he wants to prove he can beat Suzuki one on one.

A full report on the Sumo Hall show is now posted. Several matches are already available to be watched if you know where to look. The last couple of days has been the busiest this site has been in its short life, so thank you very much to everyone who has been reading. If you’ve just discovered this place recently, I hope you stick around and enjoy what DDT and Union has to offer over in the future.

Dino Vs Sapp – The Rules, Nakazawa Wins Election

July 22, 2011

This is unexpected. DDT has announced the stipulations for Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp on this Sunday’s Sumo Hall show. There was a dispute over what the rules for the match would be come the day of the show but a solution was created and both parties have agreed to it.

The match will consist of 30 rounds, all lasting three minutes each. There will be a minute long break seperating every round. The entire fight will alternate between “Bob Rules” and “Gay Rules”. Every odd numbered round will use “Bob Rules” and every even numbered round uses “Gay Rules”. Here are the descriptions for the two rule sets.

“Bob Rules”

The match can end in the following ways:

a. Pinfall.
b. Knockout via 10 second count.
c. When a fighter gives up or his corner throws in the towel.
d. If the referee has determined that a fighter can no longer compete or has lost the will to fight.
e. If a fighter suffers a terrible injury. However the referee or fight doctor has the right to determine whether or not the fighter can continue.

Instep kicks are prohibited. However, knee strikes are allowed on a crouching opponent. Strikes behind the neck, strikes aimed at the kidney, open hand chops and other striking attacks normally found in modern pro wresting are banned. Fighters will be given a warning for using illegal attacks. Fighters can be disqualified after one or two warnings.

Finally, any moves that create sexual excitement for the fighter on offense are banned. Such moves include, but are not limited to, touching your opponent’s crotch, rubbing against your opponent, caressing your own crotch and dry humping.

“Gay Rules”

Exactly the same as pro wrestling but attacks aimed towards the groin region are now legal.

Michael Nakazawa will be in a good mood today because he has been chosen to be part of the Sumo Hall Anal Blast opening ceremony for the third year in a row! He won the election by 15 votes in what was a tight race for the ‘prestigious’ role.

1. Michael Nakazawa (342 Votes)
2. Batten Tamagawa (327 Votes)
3. Tanomusaku Toba (324 Votes)
4. Mammoth Honda (61 Votes)
5. Big Morohashi (50 Votes)

Nakazawa has also been announced for the Kensuke Office Summer Festival taking place between 31st July to 4th August. Nakazawa will be taking part in the Summer Volcano Tag Tournament, forming an unlikely tag team with Jr. Heavyweight ace Katsuhiko Nakajima. Sanshiro Takagi will also show up on the final night of the festival.
