Due to GENTARO & Yasu Urano recently becoming the KO-D Tag Team Champions, their match against KUDO & Makoto Oishi has been upgraded into a title defence.

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st Ring

This isn’t the first time HERO! and Darkside HERO! will fight against each other. They were on opposide sides in a Tag match during last year’s DISASTER-BOX show during Beer Garden week. HARASHIMA was HERO! but I don’t know who played the Darkside version in that match.

Cosmo ☆ Soldier is said to come from Super ☆ China Pro Wrestling. Could it be Choun-Shiryu under another gimmick? We’ll see.

Dramatic Fantasia: Now With More Union!

February 22, 2011

Starting this Thursday on Samurai! TV, DDT’s weekly television show Dramatic Fantasia will start dedicating one episode a month to the Union sub-brand. With Union growing as a promotion in its own right and planning to hold more shows than ever this year there was still the problem of how fans would get to see footage of the recent events. Dramatic Fantasia has dedicated episodes to Union in the past but they were few and far between and were mainly done so we could see Shuji Ishikawa’s run as the KO-D Openweight Champion. Now the problem has been solved with the upcoming episode showing matches from the 3rd February Shinjuku FACE event main evented by the match between Ishikawa and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi. The Union episodes of Dramatic Fantasia will feature a special guest for commentary ever episode with the current queen of boing boing, Yuzuki Aikawa being the first guest.

New Matches for Cruiser’s Game, Ishii’s Show

February 18, 2011

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st Ring

1. El Samurai Vs Natsuki☆Taiyo
2. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Tanomusaku Toba
3. Battle Pink Ryota Vs Super Mask Man
4. Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku Vs The Great Sasuke & MIKAMI

Battle Pink Ryota and Super Mask Man come from the SWS promotion which is run by students from Teikyo University in Tokyo. For anyone interested in seeing the fed in action, their Youtube channel can be found here.

Natsuki☆Taiyo is a female wrestler who is currently with the new STARDOM joshi promotion. She is also a two time Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion.

Other wrestlers scheduled to compete on the show include the return of HARASHIMA’s old gimmick HERO!, Marines Mask II, Cosmo ☆ Soldier, Makoto Oishi, Madoka and Yuki Sato.

DDT “KESIUKE ISHII’S PRODUCE SHOW”, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Tomimitsu Matsunaga
2. Tanomusaku Toba & Hikaru Sato Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hiro Tsumaki
3. Kota Ibushi & KUDO Vs HARASHIMA & Yukihiro Abe
4. 1990s Foreigner Royal Rumble
5. Keisuke Ishii Vs Takao Omori

All of the matches were decided by Keisuke Ishii himself. There will also be a dark match featuring fighters from Style-E. The 1990s Foreigner Rumble sounds like a lot of fun if it turns out to be the DDT roster impersonating different wrestlers from that time period. Unless I got the translation wrong and Keisuke somehow found himself 90 different foreign wrestlers to take part in the match (simply having Kenny Omega, Hoshitango and Choun-Shiryu entering 30 times each doesn’t count).

More Shows Coming Up

February 12, 2011

The next couple of weeks is going to be very busy for DDT. Let’s have a look at what is in store for us, shall we?

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS FEBRUARY EDITION”, 16/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiro Tsumaki
2. Rion Mizuki Vs Hiro Tonai
3. Shigehiro Irie Vs Daichi Kazato
4. Akito Vs Kotaro Nasu
5. Keisuke Ishii & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Hiromu Takahashi & Shota

Hiromu Takahashi is one of the latest rookies produced by New Japan Pro Wrestling. Both Ryuichi Sekine and Hiro Tonai are from K-DOJO and Kotaro Nasu comes from Style-E.

DDT “FUNABASHI LEGEND AGAIN 2011”, 20/02/2011
Mitsui Garden Hotel Funabashi Lala Port

1. DJ Nira Vs Kikutaro
2. MIKAMI & KAORU Vs Minoru Fujita & Toshie Uematsu
3. Hikaru Sato, Tanomusaku Toba & Hoshitango Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
4. Dick Togo & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & KUDO
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Kota Ibushi & Keisuke Ishii
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano

GENTARO & Yasu Urano have been on a four match winning streak as a Tag Team since their last KO-D Tag Team Title shot against FROM THE NORTHERN COUNTRY. Meanwhile, Antonio Honda lost the KO-D Title Unification match while Daisuke Sasaki has been on the losing end of Tag matches against the GRANMA group. Does the team of GENTARO and Urano have enough momentum to unseat the champions and become the top duo in DDT?

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2011”, 27/02/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii & Akito Vs MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki
2. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
3. Kota Ibushi Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano
5. ??? Battle Royal: DJ Nira, Tanomusaku Toba, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Danshoku Dino and Kazuki Hirata included so far.
6. No DQ Hair Vs Hair Match: Hikaru Sato Vs Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Four months until Dick Togo calls time on his wrestling career. There are three KO-D Openweight Title defences planned between now and then with Togo retiring a month before the Sumo Hall show. Togo’s next defence is against HARASHIMA, who is gets his first chance at the title since losing it back in November.

No interference is allowed for the Hair Vs Hair match between Hikaru Sato and Takao Soma. We’ll see how Soma fares without having the rest of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation there to help him.

I may be wrong on the translation, but I think the winner of the Battle Royal will get to make his own match for this year’s Sumo Hall event. More entries will be announced eventually.

I have high hopes for Kota Ibushi Vs Shigehiro Irie, this could be a really fun match. Irie has been honing his skills while fighting for TKG48 in their feud with the Union Sekigun and a win against Ibushi would do wonders for his career.

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011

HARASHIMA gets to challenge Dick Togo for the KO-D Openweight Title at Korakuen Hall on 27th February.

Kenny Omega stripped down to a Danshoku Dino style rainbow thong during his match with Michael Nakazawa. This was to combat Nakazawa’s habit of stripping down to a thong during his comebacks.

Two of the main events for the upcoming 6th March tripleshot were announced. Cruiser’s Game will have MIKAMI & The Great Sasuke teaming up to face Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku. As a reward for winning the Battle Royal at the end of January, Keisuke Ishii will host his own show. He will be against Takao Omori in the main event of that card.

A match that will have repercussions on this year’s Sumo Hall event will take place at the next Korakuen Hall show. Danshoku Dino, Tanomusaku Toba, DJ Nira and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi are among those involved but what kind of match it will be was not revealed.

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011”, 11/02/2011

The stories for each match aswell as who wrestles as who in New Beijing are reposted below.

1. The Decisive Battle!
Back in China, New Beijing has a popular feud between two factions, the Wei faction and the Shu faction. Every year, one wrestler from each faction is chosen to take part in a big match known as the “Northern Expedition Derby“. However, to commemorate China recently becoming recognised as the second largest economy in the world New Beijing decided to have the match take place on their Japan tour instead.

2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!
Some of China’s biggest stars from the silver screen gather together in Shin-Kiba to enjoy a dream contest.

3. Opium War!?
Centuries ago, China was notorious for importing of opium across the world. It was a lucrative market for the nation, but as more and more of the global population fell ill or became degenerates due to opium addiction, China was banned from any further attempts at shipping the drug. However, opium was still smuggled outside of the country which helped grow a large black market. The illegal opium trafficking led to conflict between China and Great Britain, with a newly formed discipline committee deciding to ease tensions by having both countries compete against each other in a wrestling match. A wrestling match that happens to involve Queen Elizabeth and the Statue Of David.

4. National Scramble For The Imperial Seal!
The Imperial Seal has been handed down from generation to generation as proof of the holder’s right to be master of the world. A state of emergency in 2010 took place when the Seal went missing. This led to the sudden collapse of New Beijing Pro Wrestling. Now leaders from around the world travel to China in search of the ancient artifact and claim the absent throne. In an unexpected turn of events, word spread that the Imperial Seal was found in Japan. Now an epic battle takes place as several warriors go to war over who the artifact belongs to.

5. Rushi’s Last Play
With his retirement on the horizon, Rushi Goto takes part in one last performance. But while one legend prepares to leave wrestling, a new generation of warriors are eager to rake his place.

Rushi Togo = Dick Togo
Young Master Togo = Kenny Omega
Hazime Hutoshi = GENTARO
Somato = HARASHIMA
Giant Boshoku = Shuji Ishikawa
Great Slave No. 643 = Sanshiro Takagi
Megumi Shin Akira Ra Nuruhachi = Michael Nakazawa
Dragon Achoooo! = KUDO
Zhou Yu = Konaka = Pehlwan
Ranjei Lee = Lingerie Muto

Every year thousands of Bob Sapps are left abandoned in the streets of Japan. Hungry, homeless but most importantly alone whenever they step into the squared circle for a freak show fight, they need our time and generosity now more than ever. By donating just ¥4,000,000 a month you can reach out to Bob Sapps in their time of need. With your help we can get Bob Sapps like this one back on their feet and take part in a show at Sumo Hall where they might get molested by a rampaging homosexual. Please, give generously. Thank you.

*No Bob Sapps were hurt in the making of this video.
