DDT now has their main event set for their biggest show of the year. Shuji Ishikawa successfully defended the KO-D Openweight Title not once, but twice on one of the final stops on the road to Sumo Hall. Ishikawa defeated both GENTARO and Takao Soma back-to-back to earn his first two title defences. Now he will face KUDO, who has been on a roll since winning the “King Of DDT”. At the end of the show, the DDT locker room joined KUDO in the ring and put him through a trial by fire to get him ready for Sumo Hall. One by one, the DDT wrestlers each gave KUDO one of their trademark moves in the hopes that they transfer their strength to him. However when Danshoku Dino was about to give KUDO the Danshoku Driver, Shuji Ishikawa booted him in the head and gave KUDO the Splash Mountain instead. Shuji yelled at KUDO and said that he will beat him at Sumo Hall.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation is going through some changes. Due to Takao Soma’s failure to capitalize his golden opportunity of beating a weakened Shuji Ishikawa and become KO-D Champion, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine took matters into their own hands and kicked Soma out of the group. Matsunaga then announced that the SHF has joined forces with the Susan Guard from Union. The new unit is now called the Susan Shit Heart Superstars!

The unlikely team of Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa surprised everyone by winning the KO-D Tag Team Championships! The TKG48 duo of Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie only had the belts for 15 days until they lost it in their first defence. HARASHIMA & HERO! came out to challenge the new champs. Omega accepted and planned out a special show at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on the 24th June. At this event will be just one match, and that match will be Omega & Nakazawa Vs HARASHIMA & HERO! for the KO-D Tag Titles! Omega then told everyone that he sees Nakazawa’s true potential and he just wants to help his friend.

Only a few more days until Dick Togo calls an end to his illustrious career in Japan. He had his final match for DDT today, teaming with Antonio Honda to defeat Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki. The day before, Togo showed up at the K-DOJO show at Korakuen Hall for one last Kaientai*DX reunion where he again won the match for his team with the deadly Diving Senton.

It was announced that Kota Ibushi will have his first defence of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title against Prince Devitt on 27th August at Sumo Hall.

The final Assassin sent from Bob Sapp to fight Danshoku Dino was Canadian indy wrestler Sexxxy Eddy. Before the match began, Eddy told the crowd that he always has the most beautiful woman in the arena strip him of his clothes. So he brought out Emi Sakura and performed a striptease for her. Dino was able to overcome this last obstacle and is now qualified to fight Bob Sapp at Sumo Hall. That was not the end of the night for Sexxxy Eddy, however. He briefly won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Masa Takanashi and then lost it to Keisuke Ishii.

The Special Dark Match between Gorgeous Matsuno and DJ Nira was interrupted by the announcement of DDT’s next “Anywhere Pro Wrestling” event taking place on 2nd July. The show is titled “Luggage Material Wrestling”. The match still went on while Tsurumi Amon was making the announcement and continued when he was finished. However, the match ran out of time just when DJ Nira hit the Rocket Punch on Matsuno.

Here is the card for Sumo Hall so far:

What Are You Doing? I’m Posting The Full Card For The Show!

June 14, 2011

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2011”, 19/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine Vs Rion Mizuki & Hoshitango
0. Special Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Kota Ibushi, KUDO, Hikaru Sato & X Vs HARASHIMA, HERO!, MIKAMI & Kazuki Hirata

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

The unlikely partnership of Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa are the first challengers for the new KO-D Tag Team Champions, Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie. Let’s just assume for the moment that the unofficial team name for Kenny & Michael is The Lotion Lovers.

One more match for Danshoku Dino to win so he can finally fight Bob Sapp. The last challenge is always the most difficult. Can Dino overcome what could be the most dangerous assassin of all?

Kota Ibushi will get his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title shot over at New Japan the day before this show. No hints were given as to who the fourth member of his team will be in the 8-Man Tag here.


TKG48 Challenge For Tag Titles, Dino’s Assassin Woes

May 30, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX DX 4.6”, 04/06/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. DJ Nira Vs HERO!
2. MIKAMI Vvs Kazuki Hirata
3. Give Michael Nakazawa A Chance: Antonio Honda Vs Michael Nakazawa
4. Hikaru Sato, Keisuke Ishii & Makoto Oishi Vs Takao Soma, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: GENTARO & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie & Munenori Sawa
6. Dick Togo & HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dino & KUDO

The TKG48 duo of Shigehiro Irie and Munenori Sawa were chosen as the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. It’s a tough challenge ahead as GENTARO & Yasu Urano have been almost unstoppable this year. Sawa was absent for the press conference announcing the match, but Irie made up for it by starting a fight with the champions.

By winning the mini Royal Rumble at “KING OF DDT KYOTO”, Michael Nakazawa was supposed to win a prize from Tsurumi Amon. However, Tsurumi wasn’t convinced that Nakazawa earned it. Nakazawa will appeal the decision by facing Antonio Honda, the man he eliminated to win the Rumble, in a match at Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

DDT “WRESTLING TONKOTSU 2011”, 12/06/2011
Hakata Star Lane

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Takao Soma
2. Bob Sapp Games – 5th Stage: Danshoku Dino Vs Gaylon Summers
3. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Shiori Asahi Vs HARASHIMA, Kota Ibushi & Hikaru Sato
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Shigehiro Irie Vs Dick Togo & Yasu Urano

Danshoku Dino suffered his first defeat to one of Bob Sapp’s Assassins, losing to Gaylon Summers. A rematch is set at Hakata Star Lane but with a little twist. Bob Sapp will send one more Assassin to Korakuen Hall on 19/6 and the winner of Dino Vs Summers will get to fight the Assassin. Dino needs to defeat all of the Assassins if he wands to gets his hands on Bob Sapp but his dream match may disappear if he loses to Gaylon Summers again.

Some bad blood is flaring up again between Keisuke Ishii and Takao Soma. The two generational rivals will get to settle their differences in a singles match but the result could have consequences for both men in the lead up to Sumo Hall.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2011”, 19/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Special Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Dick Togo DDT Last Match: Dick Togo & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki
3. Bob Sapp Games – Final Stage: Danshoku Dino or Gaylon Summers Vs Bob Sapp’s Final Assassin
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

On a final note, Ken Ohka was apparently caught spying on Mio Shirai today. When Mio caught Ken she choked him out in the middle of the street with a Headscissors. The two will be on opposing teams for their Union match at Shinjuku FACE this Thursday. Ohka has never really had the best of luck with women.


DDT “KING OF DDT KYOTO” Results

May 29, 2011

DDT “KING OF DDT KYOTO”, 29/05/2011
Kyoto KBS Hall
512 Fans

1. Takao Soma, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Keisuke Ishii & Riki Sensyuu when Soma pinned Ishii with the Diving Guillotine Drop (11:08).
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: KUDO defeated Kenny Omega with the Buzzsaw Kick (13:53).
3. King Of DDT – Semi Final: HARASHIMA defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Somato (9:24).
4. Kyoto Royal Rumble: Michael Nakazawa defeated Antonio Honda by Ring Out (13:54).
Order Of Entries: Michael Nakazawa, Shoichi Uchida, Makoto Oishi, Hideki Shiota, MIKAMI, HERO!, Antonio Honda, Seiya Morohashi.
5. Bob Sapp Games – 4th Stage: Gaylon Summers defeated Danshoku Dino with the Navy Slam (11:48).
6. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi, Hikaru Sato & Kazuki Hirata when Togo pinned Hirata with the Diving Senton (18:52).
7. King Of DDT – Final: KUDO defeated HARASHIMA with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:07).

KUDO has won the King Of DDT tournament and will face the KO-D Openweight Champion at the main event of Sumo Hall on 24th July. KUDO and HARASHIMA battled long and hard for 18 minutes in the main event. In the end, it was KUDO who was left standing tall. Now he has the KO-D Openweight Title in his sights. Will Shuji Ishikawa still be champion by the time Sumo Hall comes or will either GENTARO or Takao Soma take his place?

KUDO’s trip to the final involved getting past Kenny Omega. He survived a Power Bomb into the turnbuckle aswell as a Thunder Fire Power Bomb and was able to avoid the Croyt’s Wrath. Omega attempted an Avalanche version of his finisher but KUDO escaped and trapped Kenny’s legs in the ropes, leaving him hanging in the air. KUDO then jumped onto him with a Diving Knee Drop. He drilled Kenny with Buzzsaw Kicks and despite a scare involving the Hadouken and a Backslide Pin, KUDO finally put Omega away with another combo of Buzzsaw Kicks.

HARASHIMA had a brick wall called Shigehiro Irie standing in his way. Irie hoped to beat HARASHIMA like he did Kota Ibushi and tried to end the match quickly with a barrage of Elbow Smashes. The plan didn’t work and HARASHIMA ended Irie’s chance to win the tournament. It took a few High Kicks to keep Irie off his feet but HARASHIMA was able to knock him down and then knock him out with the Somato.

Danshoku Dino was finally defeated by one of Bob Sapp’s Assassins. This time the assassin was Gaylon Summers, the American wrestler who has had a few Union appearances this year. Gaylon won with a modified version of the Choke Slam. This being a Danshoku Dino match, you can pretty much guess the modified move was a Crotch Slam. Dino was very upset after the match. His dream is to fight Bob Sapp but he cannot do it if he loses to Sapp’s assassins. Bob Sapp sent a tweet saying if Dino cannot fight him at Sumo Hall, then Gaylon Summers will take his place. Angry at the news, Dino suddenly kissed Gaylon and gave him the Danshoku Driver.

The winner of the Kyoto Royal Rumble would get to ask Tsurumi Amon for whatever they wanted. When Michael Nakazawa won the match, he asked Amon for a title shot. His request was denied for now and he was given a match for 4th June instead. If he wins, Tsurumi may give Michael what he wants.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation have been getting one over GRANMA for the last couple of shows thanks to some dirty tricks. Now Takao Soma & Super Shit Machine have two more advantages over GENTARO & Yasu Urano, the SHF are allowed fight under No DQ rules and the champions have to pin the challengers for five seconds in order to win. GENTARO & Urano have a tough task ahead of them if they aim to keep the KO-D Tag Team Titles around their waists.

4. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

HARASHIMA & HERO! have been nominated as the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. They will take on whichever team leaves the 17/04 Nagoya show as champions.

Danshoku Dino is two for two against Bob Sapp’s deadly army of assassins. The third one being sent to face Dino has been described as a thug. Take that for what it’s worth.

Gorgeous Matsuno has been away from wrestling matches in DDT since September 2008 due to old age and ill health. He’s made appearances in DDT since then but this will be his first match back in over two and a half years.

DDT “DICK TOGO RETIREMENT SHOW”, 30/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Antonio Honda & Jado Vs The Great Sasuke & TAKA Michinoku
2. Dick Togo Vs Gedo

I haven’t labelled Dick Togo Vs Gedo as Togo’s retirement match because he may be having more than one match on the show.


HERO! Returns?!?, Updated Cards For April, ‘Eff Off Fujita!

April 7, 2011

An odd event took place during the 4 Way match on yesterday’s “NON-FIX 3.16” show. When Michael Nakazawa, Antonio Honda and DJ Nira triple teamed HARASHIMA during the match, a masked man ran to the ring and cleared house, saving HARASHIMA from the beating and causing the match to end in a No Contest. What’s odd is that the masked man was HERO!, HARASHIMA’s masked alter ego! It is not clear who is behind the mask now but HERO! made an offer to team with HARASHIMA in the future. Tsurumi Amon interjected and thought that was a great idea, so HARASHIMA & HERO! will team together on 13th April.

DDT, 13/04/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hikaru Sato Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way: MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki Vs Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira Vs KUDO & Makoto Oishi

4. Yasu Urano Vs Super Shit Machine
5. GENTARO Vs Takao Soma
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Ryan Jenness
7. Dick Togo, Gedo & Tomohiro Ishii Vs Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki

The two GRANMA Vs Shit Heart ♥ Foundation singles matches will have repercussions for their KO-D Tag Title match in Nagoya on 17th April. The winner of each match here in will get to add a stipulation to the Tag Title match.

A wrestler by the name of Ryan Jenness (ライアン・ジェネス – could be something else, I don’t recognise the name or anything similar) is Bob Sapp’s second assassin sent after Danshoku Dino.

DDT, 17/04/2011
Nagoya

1. Shigehiro Irie & Akito Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Keisuke Ishii
2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata

5. Kenny Omega Vs MIKAMI
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: GENTARO & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Takao Soma & Super Shit Machine
7. 3 Way: Kota Ibushi Vs Danshoku Dino Vs HARASHIMA

A pretty packed show here. DDT’s three big stars go at it in the main event, the Tag Titles are on the line with some stipulations yet to be added, Kenny Omega Vs MIKAMI will surely be exciting and you have the return of Mr. #6.

For some reason, Minoru Fujita has been banned from appearing at future DDT events. Fujita has lately been showing up at DDT shows uninvited and everyone has had enough. Tsurumi Amon brought it up at a meeting and they all decided to ban him from the company for now.


Togo Gets Ready For Shuji, Shit Happens

March 28, 2011

Dick Togo may have eliminated Kota Ibushi from the title chase, but he still has a busy time ahead of him. The main event for DDT’s return to Shinjuku FACE on 13th April has Togo teaming with New Japan wrestlers Gedo & Tomohiro Ishii to take on Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki.

Shuji Ishikawa is next in line for a crack at the KO-D Openweight Champion after winning the Battle Royal from the 14th Anniversary show. Their match is set for 4th May in Korakuen Hall. That’s not all, as Togo’s GRANMA stablemate GENTARO has the “Anytime And Anywhere” title shot, which allows him to cash it in at any show from now until Sumo Hall. GENTARO has claimed he will challenge the winner of Togo Vs Ishikawa, but he hasn’t exactly said when he will face them.

GENTARO has enough on his plate already. He and Yasu Urano are currently the KO-D Tag Team Champions and they now have the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation on their heels. Takao Soma and the Super Shit Machine are next in line to challenge for the belts. Two singles matches involving both sides will happen on 13th April. GENTARO better not take Takao Soma lightly as the young SHF leader has been on a role this year. Meanwhile Yasu Urano faces the Super Shit Machine, who has already made his presence felt in DDT with his SHIT Down Power Bomb finisher (Best move name of 2011 so far). The Tag Team Title match will take place four days later in Nagoya.

Danshoku Dino was able to defeat the first of Bob Sapp’s assassins, American indy wrestler Jonathan Gresham. Another assassin will battle Dino in Shinjuku FACE. Just the thought of Bob Sapp training pro wrestlers to be ninjas fills me with great joy.
