7. DDT Extreme Title – TLC (Tonkachi, Ladders & Chairs): Isami Kodaka defeated El Generico (c) with the Rasengan (19:27).
*El Generico fails in V4. Isami Kodaka becomes the 17th DDT Extreme Champion!

Union had plenty to celebrate at the beginning of 2012 with Isami Kodaka winning back the DDT Extreme Title from El Generico in a Tonkachi, Ladders & Chairs match. After the hard fought match, Isami told Generico how fun it was to beat him in such an extreme battle. He then wished Generico farewell but was interrupted by Ken Ohka. Generico was challenged by Ohka to a match on 10th February, so the Generic Luchador will be sticking around in Union for at least a little while longer. Meanwhile Isami took centre stage and told the fans he now shared a bond with Kengo Mashimo from K-DOJO, KUDO from DDT and Abdullah Kobayashi from Big Japan. They are all champions who love to wrestle for their companies. Generico then congratulated Isami and said he is a true warrior deserving of the championship as the show drew to a close.

The first match for BIG “G” BANG was a rousing success. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie overcame the Strong BJ side of Daisuke Sekimoto & Kazuki Hashimoto. With this victory they gain momentum towards their future challenges.

Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO faced off for the first time since their No Rope Exploding Barbed Wire match at “WRESTLE EXPO 2006”. Takagi teamed with the brand new NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champion Tsuyoshi Kikuchi to defeat KENSO and Yoshiaki Yago. The aftermath was very eventful as Kikuchi announced he was joining Union as a full-time wrestler. Takagi joked that Kikuchi had been thinking over his decision since last February. Takagi also talked about how he is so busy now that there needs to be a new Sanshiro Takagi to help take some of his workload. Takagi’s music hit and out came Keizo Matsuda of IWA Japan fame dressed as Takagi and performing his signature entrance.

NOSAWA Rongai & Io Shirai made a successful first defence of their Americas Mixed Tag Titles over the tsundere team of Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai. Despite their defeat, Mio admitted that she and Ken were starting to gel as a team. But she was adamant that it doesn’t change the dynamic of their “master and servant” relationship.

Big Morohashi has taken inspiration from the late, great Rick Rude and changed his ring name to Big Rude. After winning the 3 Way Tag match with Masao Orihara, the former Seiya Morohashi told his opponents “If you want to become the world’s best villain, you have to be rude!”

The gratuitous Twitter battle between Hiroshi Fukuda and RG opened the show. RG sang to Fukuda’s mentor and valet Rumi Kazama before the match began but the lyrics were about how overweight she was. Rumi tried to get revenge during the match with a steel chair, but RG ducked and Fukuda took the chairshot instead. As a result of his defeat, Fukuda and all of his 611 followers must now follow RG’s Twitter account.

It wouldn’t be a New Year’s Eve puroresu indie show without a giant clusterfuck in the main event. The Ken Ohka Vs Ryuichi Sekine team challenge turned out to be a massive 74 person tag team match to close out the show. Ohka’s team won out in the end.

The Danshoku Dino Produce was weird. The match itself was a Royal Rumble match. But before it begun, a Samurai TV! assistant director (who oddly enough looked a lot like Tsurumi Amon) invited DDT President Sanshiro Takagi, K-DOJO founder TAKA Michinoku and Big Japan executive Eiji Tosaka down to the ring. The director challenged them not to laugh during the match. If anyone of them did laugh, either Michael Nakazawa or Tomomitsu Matsunaga would run down to the ring and spank them with a paddle. The director then called in DDT’s Kazuki Hirata and BJW’s Kazuki Hashimoto to try and make them laugh. Hashimoto was only able to make Hirata laugh, which caused him to get spanked with a paddle. That made Hashimoto laugh, which caused him to get spanked. The director said a joke and made TAKA laugh, so he got paddled too. Highlights (for a lack of a better word) from the match include Yuji Okabayashi refereeing the match while wearing a referee shirt with a midriff, Karate Brahman performing a song, Mio Shirai introducing herself as a lesbian, Atsushi Ohashi entering the match tied up in bondage rope, Kaji Tomato dancing with more and more wrestlers as they entered the match, (including CZW’s Sabian), Kaji Pot-au-feu (Ivan Markov) eliminating himself with a Tornado DDT, Okabayashi being unable to count above the number 6 and Takagi, TAKA and Tosaka getting constantly paddled for laughing at the nonsense directed at them.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) defeated MIKAMI with the Diving Double Knee Drop (22:50).
*V5 for KUDO.

An audience of over 2,000 fans packed Korakuen Hall on New Year’s Eve to witness a marathon of pro wrestling that will lead into 2012. DDT was up first to end their eventful year with a big bang. KUDO tied the record for most defences of the KO-D Openweight Championship by defeating his rival MIKAMI in the main event. Ladders were legal for the match but even with the advantage of using his favourite weapon, MIKAMI couldn’t get the job done. KUDO continues his role of leading the company towards Budokan Hall for DDT’s 15th Anniversary show. However, his next challenger was also revealed. Danshoku Dino wants a shot at the belt and will get it when DDT holds its first 2012 Korakuen show on 29th January.

The bizarre Idol War between Homoiro Clover Z and the 48 Group reached its conclusion with Danshoku Dino leading his multi-colored troops to victory over Sanshiro Takagi and his “Bukkake Alliance” of splinter groups from around the world. Makoto Oishi was the sole survivor of the 10-Man Elimination Tag, pinning Takagi with the Tornado Clutch. He was given big hugs by his teammates for a job well done.

The Crying Wolf stable is quickly gaining ground in DDT with Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino winning the KO-D Tag Team Championship over Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Yuji Hino has now declared a full scale invasion on DDT. After the match, Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki came out to challenge the new champions for a title shot. Tsurumi Amon tried to prevent the match from happening because he thought the challenging team haven’t proven themselves but Urano & Hino accepted it. The two teams will meet at the 22/01 Chiba show.

This was the second championship Shigehiro Irie lost this week. He dropped the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to Kanjuro Matsuyama at an Osaka Pro two days ago. Tigers Mask is now the current champion.

Japanese musician Sunplaza Nakano was in attendance to announce he was recording the official anthem for DDT’s Budokan Hall show. He also performed the song “Runner” for the Runner Contra Runner match. I had a listen to both his version and the original song by BAKUFU-SLUMP. It’s a pretty good song. If you like the Eurobeat soundtrack in Initial D then you will like Sunplaza’s version.

It was announced that Hard Hit will return on 22nd March for a show at Shinjuku FACE, so the brand has not been retired. It is likely that Hikaru Sato will face Michael Nakazawa on the show as per the stipulation for their defeat to Antonio Honda & Keita Yano.

A slight setback for Crying Wolf as the group suffered its first defeat when they lost to Poison JULIE Sawada & Hoshitango. The Santa Comes To Town finish was Hoshitango doing a Diving Splash while wearing a Santa hat.

One week away from DDT’s final show of the year and both KUDO and MIKAMI have clean pins over each other going into their KO-D Openweight Title match. Tonight, the champion KUDO defeated the challenger with a Buzzsaw Kick. By the way it stands now, if KUDO can avoid MIKAMI’s use of the School Boy he has a good chance at keeping his championship going into 2012.

5. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya when Ishikawa pinned Kitamiya with a Running Knee Lift (13:40).
6. Isami Kodaka 3 Match Trial: Isami Kodaka finishes the series with 1 Win, 2 Losses and 1 Draw (30:00).
6a. Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
6b. KUDO defeated Isami Kodaka with the Diving Double Knee Drop (8:15).
6c. Isami Kodaka defeated Shuji Ishikawa with the Isamu Leg (1:05).
6d. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Isami Kodaka with the Splash Mountain (4:30).

The gauntlet trial series consisted of three Ironman matches, each lasting ten minutes long. Isami Kodaka and Kengo Ohka lasted the ten minutes without a result. KUDO then came in and scored a pinfall on Kodaka, beating him 1-0. The third opponent was revealed to be Shuji Ishikawa, fresh off of winning the semi-main event earlier in the show. Kodaka surprised the giant with an Isamu Leg Super Kick to score his only victory in the series. Ishikawa soon defeated his friend with the Splash Mountain 3 minutes later, ultimately ending Isami’s record at 1 Win, 2 Losses and 1 Draw. Shuji told Isami that he was convinced Isami would beat El Generico and win back the DDT Extreme Title next month. KUDO said he also wants to see Isami win the title back from Generico.

Shuji Ishikawa expressed interest in him and Shigehiro Irie heading over to Kensuke Office for another Union Vs KO tag team match in the future.

Sanshiro Takagi was described to have used New Japan, All Japan and Yuzuki Aikawa wrestling styles to help him defeat Tsuyoshi Kikuchi in what was supposed to be the final match of the TKG48. However, Takagi was not happy to see Ken Ohka enter the ring with a brand new batch of TKG48 T-shirts after the match. Takagi tried to sell them off but even Kikuchi refused to buy one. So Takagi decided to form a TKG48 spin-off group and announced Kikuchi as the first new member. They threw out a challenge to the entire wrestling world for a match in Korakuen Hall on 3rd January. It turned out there was no need to do so as Naomi Susan announced that Takagi & Kikuchi will face Yoshiaki Yago & KENSO at the show.

With a victory over the Russians, Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai demanded to have a Tag Team Title shot for 3rd January. Naomi Susan granted their request, just not for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead, Ken & Mio will fight for the American Mixed Tag Team Titles currently held by NOSAWA Rongai and Mio’s sister Io Shirai!

Bull Nakano was in attendence to announce a match for her Retirement show taking place in the new year. There will be a Battle Royal for teenage joshi wrestlers to take part in. As quick as a flash, Cherry entered the ring requesting to take part in the match. Nakano didn’t understand why Cherry was asking to take part. Cherry tried to convince Nakano that she is young enough to compete and even tried to get the audience on her side. The audience responded with boos. Nakano finally let Cherry take part when she began to cry.

Sexxxy Eddy will return to Union for its two shows in Sexy-Kiba Shin-Kiba and Osaka in February.

*V3 for Ishii & Irie.
6. Sanshiro Takagi, MIKAMI & Takao Soma defeated KUDO, HARASHIMA & Masa Takanashi when MIKAMI pinned Takanashi with the Deep “M” Impact (14:22).

MIKAMI continues his momentum with another tag team main event victory over KUDO. There is just one more skirmish left to take place between the two before they fight for the KO-D Openweight Title on New Year’s Eve. It will happen in Tsukaba, Ibaraki when KUDO & HARASHIMA face MIKAMI & Hikaru Sato on 23rd December.

Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie claim their third defence of the KO-D Tag Team Championships, finally bringing some stability over the titles that have been passed around like a hot potato the last six months. But on New Year’s Eve the champions will face their toughest challenge yet. The Crying Wolf pair of Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino will be their next opponents in Korakuen Hall.

The opening match had both Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Kazuki Hirata come out to the ring with a song called “Runner” as their entrance music, hence the Runner Vs Runner title. It then got confusing when Azul Dragon & DJ Nira came out to the same song for their match with Daisuke Sasaki & Rion Mizuki afterwards.


DDT “MAID CAFE PRO WRESTLING” Results

December 10, 2011

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

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Hikaru Sato defeated KUDO & Michael Nakazawa when Sato submitted Nakazawa with an Ankle Hold.

DDT visited a maid cafe in Fukuoka to hold another of its Falls Count Anyhwere matches inside an unusual location. To mark the occasion, both Sanshiro Takagi and Hikaru Sato wrestled in maid outfits while they fought KUDO and Michael Nakazawa. An area of the dining room was cleared to allow space for the wrestlers but as usual, the fighting eventually spread to the outside of the building. Food fights were inevitable as the wrestlers forced each other to eat and drink while applying submission holds. Takagi, Sato and Nakazawa were all hit in the face with birthday cakes. By the time the match was over, the floor was a mess. Luckily for the restaurant, DDT promised to pay for the cleaning expenses.


DDT “NON-FIX 12.7” Results

DDT “NON-FIX 12.7”, 07/12/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
227 Fans

1. Yasu Urano, Yuji Hino, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano defeated HARASHIMA, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Hoshitango & DJ Nira when Urano pinned Nira with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:12).
2. Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma defeated Michael Nakazawa & Kazuki Hirata when Sato submitted Nakazawa with an Ankle Hold (6:55).
3. Danshoku Dino & Akito defeated Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii when Dino pinned Ishii with the Danshoku Destroyer (13:55).
4. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Masa Takanashi with the NOW OR NEVER (15:29).
5. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when MIKAMI pinned Oishi with a Sliding School Boy (0:15).
5a. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when MIKAMI pinned KUDO with a School Boy (6:44).

MIKAMI reminded everyone that he has a very dangerous weapon in his arsenal that can win him matches at any time. MIKAMI is an expert at using the School Boy and he proved it by instantly pinning Makoto Oishi 15 seconds into the main event. A rematch was declared and this time, MIKAMI pinned the KO-D Champion with a School Boy after six minutes of tag team wrestling. KUDO now faces a big risk of losing the KO-D Title to MIKAMI at New Year’s Eve if he gets caught with the School Boy, not to mention having to worry about MIKAMI’s high risk offence and the possible inclusion of a ladder to the match.
