Union Goes Back To School

September 21, 2011

UNION “SCHOOL FESTIVAL 2011”, 19/10/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1 SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Mio Shirai (c) Vs Cherry
2 BENTEN (w/ Miyako) Vs Onryo (w/ Masako Takanashi)
3 DDT Extreme Title Contendership Match – 3 Way: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Kengo Ohka

The big story coming out of Union after their long day in Shinjuku revolves around the DDT Extreme Championship. El Generico left his mark on Union by defeating both Isami Kodaka and Shuji Ishikawa in seperate matches to leave Japan as the new DDT Extreme Champ. Since he will not return until November, a few potential challengers are left to scramble over who gets to fight him first. To decide the No. 1 Contender, a 3 Way match between Sanshiro Takagi, Shuji Ishikawa and Kengo Ohka will take place when Union returns to Shinjuku FACE on 19th October.

Also taking place during the doubleshot was the debut of kabuki wrestler BENTEN, along with his geisha girl valet Miyako. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to like being told to follow the rules as BENTEN was disqualified in both of his matches thanks to Miyako attacking the referee. Miyako has also caught the attention of Masako Takanashi, who is very upset that another Diva has come into Union and is taking attention away from him/her. Masako’s solution to this problem is bringing in the wrestling spectre Onryo to challenge BENTEN to a match while he/she keeps an eye on Miyako outside the ring.

Mio Shirai must be getting sick of beating up Ken Ohka on a regular basis, so she must be pleased to face someone different in October. Cherry has challenged her for a shot at the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title. She will have a better shot at taking the belt off Mio than Ohka ever will.

2. Isami Kodaka defeated BENTEN (w/ Miyako) by DQ when Miyako attacked the referee (4:39).
3. 3 Way: Masako Takanashi & Cherry defeated Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma and Kengo Ohka & Madoka when Takanashi pinned Madoka with the Bacchus (9:19).
4. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) defeated Ivan Markov & Ronnie Crimson when Takagi pinned Crimson with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (13:00).
*V1 for Takagi & Sawa.
5. Yoshiaki Yago defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi with the Homicide Cobra Twist (11:15).
6. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title – Chain Deathmatch: Mio Shirai (c) defeated Ken Ohka by Ref Stoppage with the Figure Four Necklock (5:07).
*V1 for Mio Shirai.
7. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa with a Sunset Flip (14:34).
*V1 for El Generico.

El Generico just barely defeated Shuji Ishikawa to quickly mark his first DDT Extreme Title defence just hours after winning it. The match had no extra stipulations involved, which is unusual for a DDT Extreme Title bout. Ishikawa was about to deliver the Splash Mountain but Generico used the momentum to escape Shuji’s grip and roll him over with a Sunset Flip for the three count. Generico said that Ishikawa has the strength of a wild animal. Generico also said he defeated Union’s two best wrestlers in one day, so who was next to face him? Sanshiro Takagi climbed into the ring and demanded to be Generico’s next opponent for 19th October. Generico said he will not be in Japan on that date, but he will return to the country on 22nd November and could defend the title there. They were then interruped by both Ishikawa and Kengo Ohka. Ishikawa wanted a rematch while Kengo wanted a title shot too. The decision was made that a 3 Way between Sanshiro Takagi, Shuji Ishikawa and Kengo Ohka will take place in October. The winner of that match will then face El Generico for the DDT Extreme Championship in November.

Poor, poor Ken Ohka. Once again the Figure Four Necklock proved to be his undoing. Mio Shirai once and for all proved that she is Ohka’s master and that Ohka deserves to be treated like a dog. However, Mio now has a new challenger for the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title to focus on. Cherry has demanded a title shot. Mio accepted and promised that Ohka would be in her corner for the match like the good little doggy he is.

BENTEN was disqualified again when Miyako got annoyed with the referee during the match and ended up attacking him. Despite their problems with the officials, BENTEN and Miyako are here to stay in Union for the time being. BENTEN will return on 19th October to take on Onryo, who will be accompanied by Masako Takanashi on the night.

Masao Orihara has been rejected by the Union Sekigun. Naomi Susan has described him as useless luggage after he was on the losing side in both of his matches today. Here in the second show, Orihara accidentaly clocked Big Morohashi over the head with a folding chair, allowing Hiro Tsumaki to catch Morohashi in a Small Package and win the match for himself and Hiroshi Fukuda.

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs RG was announced for the 19th October Union show. Yeah…

6. Nanae Takahashi defeated Cherry with the One Second EX (14:31).
7. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore Match: El Generico defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (20:05).
*Isami Kodaka fails in V5. El Generico becomes the 16th DDT Extreme Champion!

El Generico claims his first championship in a Japanese wrestling organisation, defeating Isami Kodaka in a Hardcore Match for the DDT Extreme Championship. Chairs and tables were brought into play as both men fought their hearts out. But all hope was lost for the champ when he was driver into a chair with a Half Nelson Suplex and dropped on his head with the devastating Brainbuster. Generico bowed deeply to Isami as the former champion handed the belt over to the Generic Luchador. There was little time for El Generico to rest as he had to defend the belt later that evening against Union ace Shuji Ishikawa.

After winning the semi-main event, Nanae Takahashi said she was open to the idea of defending her Queen Of Stardom Title against Cherry in the future.

The TKG48 wrestlers spent their pre-match segment talking about their man-boobs for some reason. They even got the crowd to yell “Tits!” in unison at certain points of the match.


Union Doubleshot Preview

UNION “ILLUSION ~DREAM~”, 19/09/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Chou-un Shiryu & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Ivan Markov & Ronnie Crimson
2. Masao Orihara Union Assessment: Ken Ohka Vs Masao Orihara
3. Shuji Ishikawa Vs BENTEN (w/ Miyako)
4. TKG48 Offer Match: Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Akito
5. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Big Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki Vs Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka
6. Cherry Vs Nanae Takahashi
7. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs El Generico

Isami Kodaka has his toughest day yet as DDT Extreme Champion. His next challenger is The Generic Luchador, El Generico, and the winner will defend the title against Shuji Ishikawa just a few hours later. Kodaka has had a strong run as champion since winning the belt back in January but tomorrow sees a big risk in him dropping the belt.

Cherry is gunning for a shot at the Queen Of Stardom Title currently held by Nanae Takahashi. A victory here in Union could earn her that shot.

Akito has been offered an opportunity to join the TKG48. He gets to team with the producer Sanshiro Takagi against Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie, a duo that has really gelled well together as a team lately.

If Masao Orihara does enough to impress the Union folks in his match against Ken Ohka, he will be accepted into Union. This doesn’t necessarily mean just beating Ohka in a match. They could also be looking to see if the first ever KO-D Openweight Champion acts mature and responsible with his actions during the match.

BENTEN will have his first match in Union against Shuji Ishikawa. The oriental newcomer (who is totally not GENTARO) has been completely silent in his official appearances. Miyako Matsumoto has been speaking on his behalf as a geisha girl the entire time. And yes, they are both aware of their gimmicks being compared to Kenzo Suzuki & Hiroko circa 2004 WWE.

UNION “ILLUSION ~VISION~”, 19/09/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Big Morohashi & X Vs Hiro Tsumaki & Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Loser of DDT Extreme Title Match Vs BENTEN (w/ Miyako)
3. 3 Way: Masako Takanashi & Cherry Vs Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka
4. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) Vs Ivan Markov & Ronnie Crimson
5. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Yoshiaki Yago
6. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title – Chain Deathmatch: Mio Shirai (c) Vs Ken Ohka
7. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka or El Generico (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Who would have guessed that a series of misunderstandings that always ended in a man getting choked unconcious by a woman’s legs would lead to a Chain Deathmatch between those two people? Mio Shirai defends the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title against previous champion Ken Ohka. Ohka’s kryptonite has been the Figure 4 Neck Lock, a move Shirai has used to great effect over the past few months.

Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa face a Russian threat in the form of Ivan Markov & Ronnie Crimson. Last time Takagi & Sawa were the Big China Unified Tag Champions, they lost them in their first defence. They will be trying to avoid the same fate here.

If Masao Orihara does get accepted into Union, he will team up with Big Morohashi in the opener for the evening show.

BENTEN made his first official Union appearance during the Dropkick Bar press conference for September’s double shot in Shinjuku FACE. BENTEN was accompanied by Miyako Matsumoto, who appeared in full geisha girl fashion. Miyako spoke on behalf of BENTEN for the entire conference while BENTEN was busy smoking underneath his paper umbrella.

UNION “ILLUSION ~VISION~”, 19/09/2011

1. 3 Way: Masako Takanashi & Cherry Vs Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka

7. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka or El Generico (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

If Masao Orihara wins his match on the earlier card and is accepted into Union, he will team with Big Morohashi in Match #3.

The challengers for the Big China Tag Team Titles will probably also be the team taking on Chou-un Shiryu & Hiroshi Fukuda in the earlier show.


Shuji & Generico Get Extreme Title Shots, Mio Vs Ohka Chain Deathmatch

Shinjuku FACE

1. Ken Ohka Vs Masao Orihara
2. Shuji Ishikawa Vs BENTEN
3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs El Generico

El Generico has made a big impression on the Union gang. So much so that his return on the Shinjuku FACE doubleshot has him taking on Isami Kodaka for the DDT Extreme Title in the main event of the afternoon show. But whoever wins the championship will have a big challenge ahead of them later on that day.

Nanae Takahashi and Akito will also compete on the show.

UNION “ILLUSION ~VISION~”, 19/09/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) Vs X & X
2. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title – Chain Deathmatch: Mio Shirai (c) Vs Ken Ohka
3. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Yoshiaki Yago
4. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka or El Generico (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The ace of Union, Shuji Ishikawa will also get a DDT Extreme Championship match on the 19th. He will be in the main event of the evening show taking on the winner of Kodaka Vs Generico.

The rivalry between Ken Ohka and Mio Shirai has not been a good experience for Ohka. Mio Shirai has embarressed Ken Ohka time and time again by beating him up and putting him to sleep with the Figure 4 Neck Lock on a regular basis. Most recently, Mio won the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title from Ohka in his first defence, nullifying all of the hard work he did to win the belt. To make it even worse, Mio forced Ohka to wear a dog collar and refer to her as “Master”. Ohka interrupted Mio’s interview at the Union press conference wearing the collar with a chain attached to it, demanding a Chain Deathmatch with the SGP J.r Title on the line. Ohka thought he got one over on Mio when he was able to attach the chain to her wrist while taunting her with the key. However, Mio wrapped the chain around her hand, hit Ohka with a backfist and applied the Figure Four Neck Lock to choke him out before freeing herself.

Masako Takanashi will also compete on the show.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
410 Fans

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka when Takagi pinned Yago with the Sitdown Himawari Bomb (10:15).
2. Rock & Roll Deathmatch: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs A.YAZAWA Vs Hiroya Fukuda Vs Big Morohashi ended in a No Contest after a quadruple KO from drinking beer (11:05).
3. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Cherry with a Boston Crab (8:21).
4. Ryan Genesis defeated Hiro Tsumaki with the Death Valley Bomb (6:15).
5. Taichi defeated Ken Ohka with a Necklock (12:54).
6. Sexy Diva Match – DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Sexxxy Eddy with a Super Kick (15:41).
*V4 for Kodaka.

GAMI was the “Sexy DIVA” in attendance for the DDT Extreme Title match. Her role was to be in the corner for Sexxxy Eddy during the main event and constantly interfere on his behalf. She was also dressed as a Budweiser beer girl. Not a pretty sight. However, former joshi wrestler turned AV actress Rumi Kazama came to the rescue for Isami Kodaka and got rid of GAMI with a Lariat. Sexxxy Eddy liked what he saw and tried his luck with Rumi, only to get a big slap across the face. Isami saw his chance and struck Eddy with a Super Kick to get the three count and retain his championship.

Cherry had a huge mountain to climb as she took on Union ace Shuji Ishikawa. Cherry caught the big man off guard by leaping onto him from the entrance ramp before the match began. Shuji didn’t hold back because his opponent was a woman. He stretched her with a Camel Clutch, stood on her abdomen with all of his weight and landed his trademark nasty headbutts. Cherry tried to fight back but was soon locked in a Boston Crab. She wouldn’t quit until Shuji cranked back as far as he could, Lion Tamer style. After the match Shuji offered his commiserations and encouraged her to fight harder for Union.

The rule of the Rock And Roll Deathmatch was that every wrestler had to dance whenever music was played during the match. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, A.YAZAWA, Hiroya Fukuda and Big Morohashi all became so tired from dancing and wrestling that they began to drink a can of Kirin Beer to regain energy. However, the beer just made them drunk and they all ended up fainting in the ring. Yukinori Matsui called for the match to end and awarded the victory to the can of beer.

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Yoshiaki Yago will take place on the 19/9 Union doubleshot at Shinjuku FACE.

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.
