Union Schedule & Other News

December 11, 2010

Union, 03/01/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ken Ohka Comeback Match: Ken Ohka Vs Tsuyoshi Kikuchi
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka
3. Shinichiro Tominaga Debut Match: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs El Generico
4. DDT Extreme Title – Captain’s Fall Six Man Tag: Kim Nun Pun (c), Chou-un Shiryu & Cao Zhang (with Princess Makoto) Vs Isami Kodaka (c), Yano K Data & Survival Tobita
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Manabu Nakanishi

A big challenge for Shuji Ishikawa in the main event but one that could send shockwaves over the Japanese wrestling scene if he defeats Manabu Nakanishi.

The Captain’s Fall Six Man Tag will be Kim Nun Pun’s first defence of the DDT Extreme Championship. I’m not entirely sure if the title is awarded to whoever gets the fall over Pun or if it is just captain Isami Kodaka who becomes champion if his team wins. Yano K Data is Keita Yano in Joker make up for those of you who need reminding.

Cao Zhang and Princess Makoto are the Chinese wrestlers who requested to compete in Union after meeting Chou-un Shiryu. Cao is said to have trained at a wrestling dojo that has been in existence since the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) and is also said to be a descendant of the warlord Cao Cao. Princess Makoto is part of New Beijing’s Diva division.

Let’s see how El Generico fares with the Union fanbase. A win against the debuting Shinichiro Tominaga is certain. Either way it will be great to see El Generico wrestling in Japan again.

TKG48 began its rampage of Union during the week but the next line of defence put up against them is a tough one. Should be a great match between Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa against Kengo Mashimo & Madoka.

Ken Ohka will return after a seven month absence nursing a fractured left knee. There to meet him in his first match back will be former NOAH wrestler Tsuyoshi Kikuchi who has had brief appearances for DDT and Union the last couple of months.

Union “NEW YEAR DRAGON”, 16/01/11
Nagoya Kanayama

1. Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data Vs Yasu Kubota & Hide Kubota
2. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Nori da Funky Shibire-sasu
3. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Shigehiro Irie

Nori da Funky Shibire-sasu (Real name Satoru Takahashi) is a member of the Hip Hop group nobodyknows+. He has been in a wrestling match before, making his debut on 5th May, 2010.

Congratulations go out to the Golden Lovers for winning the Best Bout category in the 2010 Tokyo Sports Awards. Their match with Apollo 55 at NJPW “DESTRUCTION ’10” won by a pretty big margin and caps off a Dramatic year for the BFFs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega. Next they will look forward to clashing with Gedo & Jado on the day after Christmas (Boxing Day, St. Stephen’s Day, etc) in order to survive 2010 as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.

Hikaru Sato is set to pack his bags and head off to Germany in January to compete in the WXW “AMBITION 2” tournament. The first “AMBITION” tournament, won by Bryan Danielson (or as he is now known in another Universe, Daniel Bryan), caught attention from wrestling fans for featuring a more hybrid shoot fighting style of wrestling in its matches. It is a style that Sato is more than familiar with and he will surely become one of the favourites to win the tournament when the entire lineup is announced.

DDT “MALL ENTERTAINMENT WRESTLING AGAIN” Results

December 11, 2010

DDT “MALL ENTERTAINMENT WRESTLING AGAIN”, 11/12/2010
Tōjinmachi Shopping Arcade, Fukuoka City
400 Fans

4 Way Match: Kota Ibushi defeated Dick Togo, Michael Nakazawa and Sanshiro Takagi when Ibushi pinned Nakazawa with a German Suplex (24:43).

DDT held another of its “Anywhere Pro Wrestling” events, this time returning to the Tōjinmachi Shopping Arcade in Fukuoka City. The match was a free for all between Sanshiro Takagi, Kota Ibushi, Dick Togo and Michael Nakazawa. Fans were allowed to spend up to 3000 yen on products that could be given to wrestlers to use during the brawl. Sanshiro bought himself an AKB48 calendar at a 100 yen shop (so that is where the TKG48 name came from). Nakazawa got himself a toy baseball bat to choke people with. Takagi & Ibushi fought each other inside a coffee shop and apologised to the customers when they left. Ibushi and Nakazawa then traded punches on top of a few vending machines. Ibushi knocked his opponent to the ground and then Moonsaulted off of the machines and onto his target. Batten Tamagawa made an appearance with a boombox. He switched on “Pomp And Circumstance” and was about to perform a dance when Takagi hit him over the head with a back scratcher. A smallarea of the mall was covered in cardboard and that was where Ibushi won the match with a German Suplex to Nakazawa. Takagi then welcomed Dick Togo to the mall as it was his first time visiting the place. After the match all of the wrestlers signed the weapons bought by the fans.

DDT “NON-FIX 12.1” Results

December 10, 2010

DDT “NON-FIX 12.1”, 01/12/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
207 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hikaru Sato defeated Kazuki Hirata with a German Suplex (7:14).
2. MIKAMI defeated Rion Mizuki with a Horizontal Aussie Suplex Hold (10:50).
3. KUDO & Tanomusaku Toba defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Toba pinned Dino after a Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO (6:44).
4. Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga defeated Takao Soma & Keisuke Ishii by DQ when Soma attacked the referee (9:38).
5. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango defeated HARASHIMA & Yukihiro Abe when Owashi pinned Abe with the Power Bomb (16:51).
6. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Urano pinned Sasaki with a La Magistral Cutback (15:40).

The show began with all of the active members of Belt Hunter X Hunter in the ring. Danshoku Dino asked Hikaru Sato how he was feeling after he lost the KO-D Openweight Title to Dick Togo. Sato said he would work even harder to regain the title. Dino then asked Keisuke Ishii how he felt after losing the Young Drama Cup Final to Takao Soma. Ishii said he will begin a fresh start and is looking forward to the future. They were still upset that their stable, which was built around having champions no matter how coveted or prestigious the titles may be, are now belt-less and feared the group would break up. Masa Takanashi entered the ring to join his stablemates as Dino announced that Belt Hunter X Hunter will go on hiatus to allow everyone to go their own directions and grow as wrestlers before restarting anew.

Dino introduced Makoto Oishi from K-DOJO as his unnannounced Tag Team partner before Match #3. Dino revealed his plans for the future was to make a new MEN’s Club with Oishi as his first signing. Makoto refused the offer, even with Dino trying to give him a welcome kiss. Dino eventually got to kiss Oishi during the match, but he was given a Cutter by his partner which led to a Right Hook from Tanomusaku Toba followed by the Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO to end the match. Dino still offered Oishi a spot in his new MEN’s Club. He even asked KUDO, Toba, Tsurumi Amon & referee Yukinori Matsui to raise their hands if they wanted Oishi to join the group, which they did. Amon then announced that Dino and Oishi will have a match on 26th December with Oishi forced to join Dino’s ‘Club’ if he loses.

Takao Soma betrayed Keisuke Ishii in their match to become the newest member of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. Ishii was about to win their match when he hit Tomimitsu Matsunaga with the Kneel Kick but Soma Dropkicked the ref when he was counting to three, getting themselves disqualified on purpose. Soma gave Ishii a Schwein and then hit him over the head with a small plastic box (similar to the ones used by Kowloon in Michinoku Pro) before posing with his new team mates. Afterwards, Soma demanded to Tsurumi Amon that he should get the KO-D Openweight Title shot at Korakuen Hall for winning the Young Drama Cup. Amon shot down the demand but instead offered Soma a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Championships on 12th December. Soma accepted and chose Matsunaga as his partner. One half of the champions, Daisuke Sasaki came down and confronted Soma only to get attacked by the Foundation until Antonio Honda ran down to make the save.

Toru Owashi requested Match #5 to take place as his stay in DDT will soon draw to a close. He encouraged Yukihiro Abe to give it his all in what could be their final encounter against each other. Despite having HARASHIMA as his partner on this night, they couldn’t get past the mountain team of Owashi & Hoshitango. After the match, Owashi challenged the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation to put their Trios Triple Crown on the line against Disaster-BOX on 26th December.

The GRANMA duo of Yasu Urano & GENTARO gain some momentum as they prepare for their upcoming KO-D Tag Team Title shot. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation made their presence felt again, this time attacking Honda after the match. However, the GRANMA stable came to the rescue with Dick Togo and Antonio Honda teaming together to get rid of Michael Matsunaga with a Double Super Kick.

A day earlier, Danshoku Dino made an appearance for the NEO Joshi promotion and defeated 5-Time former Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion, Tanny Mouse.

New Year’s Eve Indy Celebration Card

November 21, 2010

DDT will be part of the big indy wrestling get together at Korakuen Hall for New Year’s Eve. Last year’s event was remembered for the 108-Man Battle Royal that begun in 2009 and ended in 2010 plus matches presented by each promotion involved. This time around there will be an inter-promotional, inter-gender one night tournament featuring Sanshiro Takagi, TAKA Michinoku (K-Dojo), Great Kojika (Big Japan), Takashi Sasaki (Freedoms), Yuki Ishikawa (BattlArts), Guts Ishijima (GUTS World), Command Bolshoi (JWP) and Kana (Triple Tails). Every match in the tournament will have a three minute time limit so every contender will have to be on their toes from the second the bell rings.

The main event will be another large Battle Royal, this time a 30 Organisation Battle Royal. I guess this means there are only 30 participants involved with one wrestler representing each promotion, but you never know with this bunch running the show. Now would be a good time to brush up your knowledge on the Japanese indy scene over at the Puroresu Central website.

1. Young Drama Cup: Rion Mizuki (2) defeated Kazuki Hirata (2) with a German Suplex (4:46).
2. Young Drama Cup: Takao Soma (8) defeated Keisuke Ishii (7) with the Diving Guillotine Drop (9:12).
3. Young Drama Cup: Yukihiro Abe (5) defeated Shigehiro Irie (6) with the Jienotsu*Clutch (6:30).

Young Drama Cup Standings

2. Keisuke Ishii (7)
3. Shigehiro Irie (6)
4. Yukihiro Abe (5)
5. Rion Mizuki (2)
6. Kazuki Hirata (2)

Gedo & Jado both made an appearance to confront Kota Ibushi in the lead up to their inevitable match with the Golden Lovers. Ibushi is still trying to convince New Japan to sanction an IWGP Jr. Tag Title match held in the snow or in a swimming pool.

The 6 Vs 3 Handicap Rumble had the team of Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & DJ Nira begin the match with just Tanomusaku Toba opposing them. Every minute another member of the 6-Man team would enter the match. The lineup for the 6-Man team in the results above was listed by order of entry.

The Young Drama Cup Final will be Takao Soma versus last year’s winner Keisuke Ishii. Oddly enough it’s the rematch to today’s contest which Soma won to top the group. Ishii finished second thanks to Yukihiro Abe, whose victory over Shigehiro Irie cost Irie a place in the final.

Golden Lovers Sign IWGP Title Match

November 5, 2010

The IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title match set for DDT on 14th November has been signed and made official. New Japan officials joined Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega at a river for the contract signing. The reason was Ibushi wanted to defend the titles on the riverfront. When that was denied, Omega suggested having the title defence take place inside NJPW HQ. That was denied too. The officials had the Golden Lovers sign the contract before they could suggest having the match take place in a field covered in snow. Can’t blame the champs for trying to be creative.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL”, 14/11/2010
