7. BJW Tag Team Title: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito when Ishikawa pinned Ito with the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain (19:03).
*V1 for BIG “G” BANG.

BIG “G” BANG defeated two of the mainstays of Big Japan to achieve V1 for the BJW Tag Team Championship. Even without the death match setting, Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito were a dangerous duo to be reckoned with. Yukinori Matsui was taken out of action during the match, allowing the Big Japan team to bring is chairs and use them without any consequences. However, the champions retained when Shuji Ishikawa rolled away from Kobayashi’s Bakachinga Elbow. Ishikawa gave him the Splash Mountain but Kobayashi kicked out at two. Ishikawa then gave him the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain and that was enough to win the match.

After the match, Ishikawa told the fans that he wants to bring the DDT Extreme Title back to Union. Yuko Miyamoto, fresh off of his victory over Cherry earlier in the show, accepted the challenge and set the match for Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 18th July.

Tokyo Joshi Pro held an offer match with NOZOMI making her re-debut for her first bout in around 2 or 3 years. She was pitted against former JWP Junior Champion Kagetsu and had a chance to shake off her ring rust and learn the basics once again. NOZOMI lost to the classic rookie killer move, the Boston Crab. Afterwards she gave a bow to all four sides of the arena.

Before Match #2 began, Mio Shirai and Princess Makoto got into another argument over who is more sexy. They asked the other wrestlers plus Yukinori Matsui to judge who had the better looking chest. Makoto won the vote. In the match itself, Makoto used her charms to distract Ken Ohka and allow Shiryu to roll him over for the pin.

The feud between Tsurumi Amon and New World Japan took a strange turn when Sanshiro Takagi introduced a Luchador by the name of Hero Amon as one of the new members of his group. DDT is immediately not big enough to contain two Amons. Takagi challenged Tsurumi to face Hero Amon in a match. Gorgeous Matsuno has accepted the challenge and will wrestle on behalf of the General Manager.

7. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Shop Death Match: Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Manji Cobra (19:58).
*V1 for Yuko Miyamoto.

The day some people thought they would never see has finally come. Cherry, the resident female wrestler on the Union roster who has always claimed to be very young has revealed her true age. Cherry lost the Age Contra Makeup match to Emi Sakura, who was wrestling on behalf of an injured Mio Shirai. Cherry was defeated with one of her own signature moves as well as from some interference from Mio. Defeated, Cherry said she was born on 14th May, 1974 which makes her 37 years old going on 38. Cherry told the audience she debuted at 30 years old and did so because it was her dream to become a wrestler, no matter how old she was. Cherry’s passport was flashed onto the giant screen behind her to serve as confirmation while a ten bell salute took place in the background.

While at first Shirai thankful for Sakura winning the match, she wasn’t so thrilled with her when she asked if it was necessary for Cherry to reveal her age. Mio told Sakura and Kaori Yoneyama afterwards to “go back to Thailand” and then threatened them with deportation. She did give Cherry a sincere round of applause though.

That wasn’t all of the big news that took place. BIG “G” BANG have grabbed some gold and became the new BJW Tag Team Champions! The large pairing of Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie were too much for Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu and they defeated the champions to bring a new prize into Union. Big Japan has already determined Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito as the No. 1 Contenders for the Tag Title and they will travel to Union on 17th June to challenge for the belts. Speaking of Ishikawa and Kobayashi, they will be fighting each other tomorrow for the BJW Death Match Championship.

And of course there was the main event. Poor Ken Ohka. The man fights his heart out each and every time he enters the ring but rarely does he succeed. The odds of him winning the DDT Extreme Title from Yuko Miyamoto were stacked high from the beginning. They were to fight each other in a match that allowed flourescent lighttubes and Union merchandise to be used as weapons. Despite Miyamoto having an injured foot and Ohka’s attempts to attack it with DVDs, the challenger just could not win and was eventually submitted with a Manji Cobra. Ohka was in tears after the match, as he usually is, but he passionately thanked everyone for their support.

The 1990’s indie wrestlers involved in the battle between New Sanshiro Takagi and New Keizo Matsuda were Takashi Okano (IWA Japan), Death Min Ho (one of Poison Sawada’s first gimmicks), Kyoko Ichiki (IWA Japan & GAEA), Chiharu (AJW), Tsunehito Naito (UWF), Survival Tobita (plus Va-Gon the ape-man terrorising the audience) and finally Tarzan Goto (FMW). At first Goto sided with with New Matsuda until he decided to beat up both of them with chairs and win the match for himself. When he left, Takagi and Matsuda began to fight again. HARASHIMA arrived and got Takagi and Matsuda to shake hands and reconcile. But as they shook hands, they accidentaly bumped heads and knocked each other dizzy, possibly bringing an end to New Sanshiro Takagi & New Keizo Matsuda.

Despite being on the winning team, GENTARO was attacked and abducted by the Goro family after the match. Goro Tsurumi took off his shoes and put one of them over his hand before knocking out GENTARO with a Spinning Backfist.

Hiroshi Fukuda continues to learn that love can hurt people. He lost to Rion Mizuki and Rumi Kazama in a Handicap Of Love match. For most of it Fukuda refused to lay a hand on Kazama while she kept trying to knock some sense into him. He finally began to fight and even delivered the Perfect Plex, only for Kazama to kick out at one. Kazama was then able to lock on her version of a Dragon Sleeper to submit her lovesick protege. After the match, Fukuda accepted the fact that Mizuki and Kazama are a couple but asked Rumi to kick him in the head one more time. She did so and then she kissed him on the cheek before all three left the ring together.

The relationship between Union and Big Japan will continue with another joint show set to take place on 18th July in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

6. BJW Tag Team Title: Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Shop Death Match: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka

Yuko Miyamoto and Ken Ohka for the DDT Extreme Title now has its stipulation match chosen by the champion. Miyamoto originally said he wanted to have a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match but Ohka said it was unfair because he has only ever been in two of those kind of matches. Both men made a compromise and decided to make it a Fluorescent Shop Death Match. That means that both fluorescent lighttubes and what I guess will be either items from the merchandise table or items associated with cooking (when not wrestling, Ohka works for DDT’s bar restaurant) are allowed to be used in the match. Miyamoto will not be 100% going into the match. He fractured the big toe on his left foot earlier this month after Moonsaulting from the top of a ladder during a match. Ohka said that he is jealous of Miyamoto because he is married and has a family. However, Ohka also said that Union is his family and he will win back the title for them.

The battle between New Sanshiro Takagi & New Keizo Matsuda will turn into a blast from the past for fans of indie sleaze wrestling. Both wrestlers have been told to invite notable indie wrestlers from the 1990s to help them in a Weapons Rumble style match. The idea is that as the match goes on, a different wrestler will enter the ring after a set period of time and interfere on behalf of the wrestler who chose them. Regular Sanshiro Takagi appeared at the press conference for this event and said he will be paying a lot of money to certain wrestlers to join his side for the match. He thinks his financial strength will be the key to defeating his doppelganger.

Hiroshi Fukuda gave some comments on his Handicap Match of Love against Rion Mizuki & Rumi Kazama. After defeating Mizuki at “MARCH OF THE UNION 2012” last month, he was shocked to find him and Kazama kissing each other afterwards. Now he is determined to defeat Mizuki with the Perfect Plex and rescue Kazama from his clutches. Fukuda also said that in this day and age the best way to indicate the value of a person is by looking at how many Twitter followers they have. Fukuda now has around 850 followers and he thinks he reached that milestone thanks to Kazama and her influences on his training.

Speaking of Twitter, remember to follow @DramaticDDT. What? I might as well shill it when the opportunity pops up.


BIG “G” BANG Title Shot, Olé Yankee, GENTARO’s Family Grudge

April 19, 2012

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2012”, 04/05/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka, SAGAT
1. Handicap Match Of Love: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Rion Mizuki & Rumi Kazama
2. Goro Tsurumi, El Hijo del Goro & Goro Jr Vs Big Rude, Black Spider Clutch & GENTARO
3. Age Contra Makeup: Cherry Vs Mio Shirai
4. New Sanshiro Takagi Vs New Keizo Matsuda
5. Hiro Tsumaki Triumph: Hiro Tsumaki & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico
6. BJW Tag Team Title: Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – ??? Match: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka

As DDT Extreme Champion, Yuko Miyamoto gets to decide what match he and Ken Ohka will have for the belt. He will announce it sometime before the show takes place.

Back at the Big Japan/Union joint show, BIG “G” BANG defeated Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu in a hotly contested match-up. Since then, Sasaki & Shinobu have become the BJW Tag Team Champions. Due to their victory over the new champions, Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie have now been given a title shot that will take place in Union. This match takes place a day before Ishikawa faces Abdullah Kobayashi for the BJW Death Match Title at Big Japan’s biggest show of the year. So Shuji could wind up with two Big Japan titles in two days.

Isami Kodaka is looking forward to teaming with El Generico for the first time. After their battles over the Extreme Title, he now thinks they will have a lot of fun tagging together. However, Isami does not have the same views on Kengo Ohka. He doesn’t exactly hate Kengo, it’s more of a strong dislike of the man. The wild card of the match is Hiro Tsumaki, who has been absent from Union for several months. Turns out he spent his time away from Union by wrestling for Okinawa Pro. Kodaka does not know what Tsumaki has learned during his time in Okinawa or what to expect from his return. Even though the match is titled “Hiro Tsumaki Triumph” Isami also wants the match to be called “Union Next Stage.”

Big Rude abducted GENTARO in an attempt to have him wrestle against the Tsurumi family. During the press conference for the event, Big Rude brought in a blindfolded GENTARO into the room and over to the table before revealing what he wanted from him. GENTARO has a bad history with Goro Tsurumi and his two sons. Their grudge began over an incident involving vegetable oil that took place in Mexico many years ago. GENTARO agreed to help Rude fight the Tsumaki clan and Black Spider Clutch has also been added to their team. GENTARO said he heard a rumour that Clutch once ate a baby. That’s probably not the most reassuring thing to tell someone who will be tagging with the guy.

The Union League Experiment continues with at least Madoka and SAGAT involved in the latest offering. It has not been decided yet if anymore wrestlers will be involved on the night.

306 Fans – Super No Vacancy

*V4 for Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.
6. Special Singles Match: El Generico defeated Ken Ohka with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:59).

Cherry’s major announcement is she will move her blog from Livedoor to Ameba. Mio Shirai came out and told Cherry that everyone in attendance thought she was finally going to reveal her real age. Nothing else about Cherry matters, according to Mio. She challenged Cherry to a match for the 18/3 Union show. If Cherry loses the match she will have to admit her real age, one of the best kept secrets in wrestling today.

Sexxxy Eddy tried his moves on Mio Shirai with little success during their match. He asked her for a kiss because it was almost Valentine’s Day. Mio asked Eddy to close his eyes. When he did, Mio grabbed the referee and forced him to kiss Eddy. Mio used the distraction to give Eddy a School Boy for a near fall. Mio gave Eddy a Low Blow and tried to do the Figure Four Neck Lock but Eddy escaped, gave Mio a Power Bomb and won the match with the SEX On The Beach.

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi betrayed Cherry in their tag match and asked New Sanshiro Takagi if he could join Union full-time. He has been asking to join since January but the decision was always put on hold. New Sanshiro said Kikuchi could join, but he has no actual power to do anything. Naomi Susan butted in and said she will think about it. New Sanshiro ignored her and said he was looking forward to having Kikuchi pump up Union with himself and Big Rude.

Kikuchi returned with New Sanshiro Takagi at the end of the show to again ask Naomi Susan if he can join Union. Naomi said it was too early to decide and she would speak to him later. They were then interrupted by (Old) Sanshiro Takagi, who offered to shake hands with his doppleganger. During the handshake, he gave New Sanshiro a Stone Cold Stunner. He then said on 18th March he will become New Keizo Matsuda!

Rion Mizuki was infatuated by Rumi Kazama during the opener. After defeating Hiroshi Fukuda, Mizuki asked Kazama for her phone number. She didn’t know how to react.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

2. Ken Ohka Vs El Generico
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka
4. BJW Tag Team Title: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kazuki Hashimoto & Takumi Tsukamoto

The main event for the Union 10/2 show in Shin-Kiba will be something for fans of Big Japan Wrestling to look forward to. Isami Kodaka has invited his tag team partner Yuko Miyamoto over to Union to defend their BJW Tag Team Championship against Kazuki Hashimoto & Takumi Tsukamoto. Isami is currently a double champion. He recently won the DDT Extreme Title and has held the BJW Tag Title with Miyamoto since May 2011.

The Union and Big Japan crossover does not stop there. Union announced that they will be hosting a joint show with Big Japan at Shinjuku FACE on 29th March. At the press conference where the news was announced, Ken Ohka said the Union Vs Big Japan rivalry will be a lot like the New Japan Pro Wrestling Vs UWF International feud from 1995. Meanwhile, Yuko Miyamoto said he wanted to have a DDT Extreme Title match with his friend Isami sometime in the future. There was also a mention of Cherry taking on a female Death Match Champion named Toka Kobayashi. Hmmm, that name sounds familiar…

The show will also have the debut match of New Sanshiro Takagi. The original Sanshiro Takagi has seen his workload for both DDT and Union in 2012 become too much to handle, so he has brought along Keizo Matsuda of IWA Japan to literally take his place in Union for the time being. This is not the first time Matsuda has portrayed a duplicate. He was formerly Fake HG in HUSTLE.
