Night, Night. Don’t Let The Dino Bite

January 23, 2012

NJPW/CMLL “NJPW PRESENTS CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA 2012”, 21/01/12
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,950 Fans – Super No Vacancy

TAKA Michinoku & Taichi defeated Danshoku Dino & Maximo when Taichi pinned Taichi with a Horizontal Cradle (8:04).

One year after teaming together, Danshoku Dino returned to New Japan to team up with the pink mohawked Luchador Maximo once again for the New Japan & CMLL co-production of “FANTASTICA MANIA”. Before their match with TAKA Michinoku & Taichi even began, Dino tried to kiss Milano Collection AT at the commentator’s table. Milano avoided Dino by dragging another commentator in his place for the kiss. Even though Dino and Maximo got along fabulously and recieved chants of “Maxi-Dino” from the fans, their efforts could not defeat TAKA & Taichi. Dino & Maximo let bygones be bygones and both kissed the referee at the same time after the match. Dino then chased Taichi into the locker room.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Danshoku Dino last held the KO-D Openweight Title in 2005. It was his only KO-D Title reign and since then he has had around six shots at the belt. KUDO will break the record for most KO-D Title defences if he defeats Dino.

DDT “TRULY ULTRA SUPER BAZOOKA!”, 11/02/2012
Nagoya Arsenal Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

The former champs get their rematch with Crying Wolf. Unsurprisingly, no one has been able to match the strength of Yuji Hino so far. Will Keisuke Ishii have discovered a fatal flaw to exploit after his Korakuen Hall match with Hino?

UNION “UNION PRO WRESTLING IN OSAKA”, 12/02/2012
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai Vs Black Buffalo & Tigers Mask
2. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda

Union Vs Big Japan, Kazuki Hirata Injured

January 18, 2012

Chiba Port Arena

2. HARASHIMA & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
3. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takao Soma
4. Lottery Bonus Match! Angel Vs Devil Showdown!: DJ Nira Vs Jaki Numawzawa

6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki

Add another name to the injured list. Kazuki Hirata has suffered damage to his ACL and will miss the Chiba Port Arena show and it is not known how long he will be out of action for. Shota will replace him in the semi-main event.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS 2012”, 10/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mio Shirai Vs Sexxxy Eddy
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.

UNION “UNION PRO WRESTLING IN OSAKA”, 12/02/2012
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

2. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda
3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Sexxxy Eddy

Union will hold its next show two days later and will feature Isami Kodaka defending the DDT Extreme Championship in the main event. His opponent is Canada’s answer for Glenn Quagmire, Sexxxy Eddy in a rematch from their Sexy Diva bout from August 2011.

At one point during the Kenny Omega Vs Shigehiro Irie match, Omega climbed the top turnbuckle, shouted out “Tanahashi!” and did a High Fly Flow onto Irie.

Early reports are giving high praise to the Yasu Urano Vs Masa Takanashi match. Even though both Urano and Yuji Hino won their matches, Masa stole Urano’s KO-D Tag Team Title belt.

Iron Man Title In Osaka Update

January 12, 2012

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has changed hands a couple of more times over in Osaka Pro since last week. Apple Miyuki lost the belt to Kushinbo Kamen on 7th January despite just beating him in a singles match. Kamen used the 24/7 rule to his advantage and immediately cradled her for the pin. The next day Black Buffalo submitted Kamen to become champion during a 3 Way Match with Billyken Kid also involved. He then scored a rare title defence against Ebessan the day afterwards. However, his title reign ended today when Apple Miyuki’s ghastly alter ego Miyuki Matsuyama won the title. Miyuki is currently the 886th champion. DDT returns to Osaka in two days but so far there is no word in anyone making the trip over to the Minami Move On Arena to bring the title back to its home promotion.

New Year Matches, Mio’s Sexxxy Problem

January 8, 2012

DDT “DDT MUSIC!”, 14/01/2012
Osaka Yodogawa Ward Center

1. Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Antonio Honda & Keita Yano Vs Michael Nakazawa & Shoichi Uchida Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Takao Soma
3. Big New Year’s Match: Yuji Hino Vs Daisuke Sasaki
4. Big New Year’s Match: Yasu Urano Vs Masa Takanashi
5. Big New Year’s Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs DJ Nira
6. Big New Year’s Match: Kenny Omega Vs Shigehiro Irie
7. KUDO, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA, Hikaru Sato & Keisuke Ishii

Some of the results from today’s Shin-Kiba 1st RING event has led to the card for next week’s Osaka show being reshuffled. The rivalry brewing between Crying Wolf and certain members of the DDT roster will continue with Yasu Urano facing Masa Takanashi and Daisuke Sasaki taking on the bug brute Yuji Hino. This is all setting up the KO-D Tag Team Title match which is mentioned below. Meanwhile the “First 4 Way Match Of The Year” is now the “First 3 Way Tag Match Of The Year” with Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Takao Soma representing DDT, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano representing Crying Wolf and Michael Nakazawa & Shoichi Uchida representing a DDT and Osaka Pro alliance.

DDT “IN CHIBA 2012”, 22/01/2012
Chiba Port Arena

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
3. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takao Soma
4. Lottery Bonus Match! Angel Vs Devil Showdown!: DJ Nira Vs Jaki Numawzawa
5. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuki Hirata
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki

With Daisuke Sasaki scoring the pin on Yasu Urano at Shin-Kiba, he and Masa Takanashi get the first shot at the new KO-D Tag Team Champions.

As the winner of the 2012 New Year Rumble, DJ Nira now has to face Jaki Numazawa from Big Japan. Will his Rocket Punch be able to take down the “Black Angel”?

Sanshiro Takagi’s call for wrestlers wanting to join his new “anti-establishment” unit has been answered by Takao Soma. The two are no strangers to each other as Soma was a part of Takagi’s TKG48 unit.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012”, 29/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Hikari Minami) Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
2. New Year Dream Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Hino
3. New Year Dream Match: Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA
4. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Homoiro Clover Z is doing pretty well for itself so far. Win or lose, they will still hold possession of the KO-D Openweight Title after the main event. If KUDO beats Danshoku Dino, he will set the record for most KO-D Title defences. However, now that they are being pitted against Crying Wolf a more threatening challenge could be just around the corner for them.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS 2012”, 10/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mio Shirai Vs Sexxxy Eddy
2. Ken Ohka Vs El Generico
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka

Mio Shirai is going to be in for a long night and I’m sure Sexxxy Eddy would agree with me (but not in the way I meant).

DDT “DRAMATIC 2012 JANUARY SPECIAL” Results

January 8, 2012

DDT “DRAMATIC 2012 JANUARY SPECIAL”, 08/01/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
300 Fans

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Shota defeated Takao Soma & Rion Mizuki when Takagi pinned Mizuki with the Sitdown Himawari Bomb (9:01).
2. 2012 New Year Match – Graffiti Lumberjack Match: Hoshitango defeated Poison JULIE Sawada (10-11) (10:00).
3. Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuki Hirata when Nakazawa submitted Hirata with the Michael No More Cry (8:04).
4. Masa Takanashi, Daisuke Sasaki, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda, Yuji Hino & Keita Yano when Sasaki pinned Urano with the NOW OR NEVER (13:32).
5. HARASHIMA & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Kenny Omega & DJ Nira when Matsuno pinned Nira with the Somato (14:25).
6. Year Of Homorio Clover Z: KUDO, Makoto Oishi & Hikari Minami defeated Danshoku Dino, Hiroshi Fukuda & Akito when KUDO pinned Fukuda with the Diving Double Knee Drop (13:45).
7. Annual New Year Rumble: DJ Nira defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Reverse Rocket Punch (5:31).

MIKAMI appeared at the show to announce he was having surgery on his right shoulder next month to repair a torn rotator cuff. He will be gone from the ring for at least 6 months.

DJ Nira won a special prize for winning the New Year Rumble. The prize is a match against Big Japan death match wrestler Jaki Numazawa.

Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA and Yuji Hino Vs Keisuke Ishii are booked for the 29/01 Korakuen Hall show. Also El Generico will return to DDT for the 11th and 19th February shows in Nagoya and Korakuen.

The special rule for the Hoshitango Vs Poison JULIE Sawada match was that whenever a wrestler was knocked out of the ring, a fan from the audience would be allowed to draw graffiti onto the wrestler’s face, arms or body. Whichever wrestler had the least amount of graffiti on him after the 10 minute time limit would become the winner. Hoshitango just about won the match by having one less piece of graffiti written on his body than Sawada. One of the fans drew the Kinnikuman mark on Hoshitango’s forehead.

Sanshiro Takagi noticed there is a lack of anti-establishment in DDT at the moment. “Too many guys are kissing the ass of Tsurumi Amon,” he said. He will be forming a new unit to cause some trouble and is inviting anyone interested in joining him to face him in a tryout match at the 22/01 Chiba show.

MIKAMI is now on the injured list with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He will miss the 8th January show in Shin-Kiba and the 14th January show in Osaka at the very least.

Kenny Omega returns to DDT action after a successful 2nd defence of his AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title over Hiroshi Yamato over in All Japan. He has his sights set on Shigehiro Irie for Osaka but before that, he is teaming with the master of the Rocket Punch, DJ Nira to face HARASHIMA & Gorgeous Matsuno in Shin-Kiba. One could only imagine the destruction that would be caused by a combined Hadouken-Rocket Punch attack

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.
