Dick Togo Wins Iron Man Title!

July 19, 2012

Well, it was bound to happen. Yuki Sato’s journey to Bolivia in search of Dick Togo so he could challenge him to a match with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line has ended before it really began. During his flight to the South American country, Sato fell victim to altitude sickness which left him bedridden. Togo quickly found out where Sato was staying and he snuck into his room while wearing a referee shirt. Togo then pinned the sleeping Sato while quietly counted to three, becoming the new Iron Man champion. DDT already put a back-up plan in place for the 15th Anniversary Show. Since it is unlikely that Togo will be returning to Japan any time soon, the winner of the Iron Man Battle Royal at Budokan Hall will be crowned the No.1 Contender for the belt. It will then be up to that person to travel over to Bolivia and get the title back from Togo or whoever the champion will be by then.

Of course, that is if Togo stays in Bolivia. Who knows, he might show up at the Budokan after all…


Iron Man Title Hijacked And Bolivia Bound!

July 12, 2012

The unpredictable nature of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has struck again! During today’s press conference announcing the remaining card for the DDT 15th Anniversary Show, champion Choun-Shiryu made an appearance to be interviewed about the title being defended in a Royal Rumble match at the show. The interview was disrupted when an anonymous note was passed over to Tsurumi Amon. The note said:

Hello DDT Pro Wrestling,

Today I heard there is an open press conference for DDT. I will take the Iron Man belt from you. Thank you in the future.

SATO

Amon sat there wondering which Sato wrote the letter. Was it Hikaru Sato? Was it Akio Sato from the Orient Express? If it was Akio, does that mean he was sending Hakushi after the champion? All of a sudden, a voice interrupted his train of thought.

“Please excuse me.”

It was independant wrestler Yuki Sato. He entered the room and admitted the letter was from him. Sato told Shiryu that he wanted the title. Shiryu stood up to face him but Sato told him his shoelaces were untied. When Shiryu bend down to tie his shoes, Sato grabbed an object and whacked the champion over the head with it. Sato then pinned Shiryu and officially became the 922nd champion.

Sato then suddenly said he was taking the belt with him to Bolivia, where he was going to defend the belt against none other than Dick Togo!

Tsurumi Amon was shocked but quickly came up with a plan. If no one can get the belt back before the 15th Anniversary Show, then the winner of the Royal Rumble at the event will be declared the No. 1 Contender for the championship. The winner will then be sent to Bolivia (at their own expense) to challenge the champion, no matter who it is.
