After the match, Togo got on the mic and said when he began wrestling, he met four men who were his seniors: Gedo, Jado, Super Delfin and The Great Sasuke. Togo also said he had waited a long time to have a singles match with Gedo and he was thankful to finally get it.

Togo was accompanied by many wrestlers from his past during the retirement ceremony. His protégés Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Yuki Sato and Yasu Urano were in his corner for the main event and each handed him a bouquet of flowers, Masao Orihara and Masato Yakushiji both made an appearance, the Michinoku Pro crew got together with Kaientai*DX getting one last group shot together and Togo even got to see Hayabusa again. Sanshiro Takagi bowed to Togo, handed over a giant bouquet of flowers and was given the Pedigree one last time. Togo finished the ceremony by telling everyone he was really lucky to know so many people over the years, from the fans to the wrestlers. He hopes to see them again when he finishes his tour of the world. After that, Togo thanked the audience and the show ended.

Dick Togo will spend one more year wrestling around the world before he retires for good. But for now, his wrestling career in Japan is over.

*V1 for Shuji Ishikawa.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) defeated Takao Soma with the Splash Mountain (13:59).
*V2 for Shuji Ishikawa.

DDT now has their main event set for their biggest show of the year. Shuji Ishikawa successfully defended the KO-D Openweight Title not once, but twice on one of the final stops on the road to Sumo Hall. Ishikawa defeated both GENTARO and Takao Soma back-to-back to earn his first two title defences. Now he will face KUDO, who has been on a roll since winning the “King Of DDT”. At the end of the show, the DDT locker room joined KUDO in the ring and put him through a trial by fire to get him ready for Sumo Hall. One by one, the DDT wrestlers each gave KUDO one of their trademark moves in the hopes that they transfer their strength to him. However when Danshoku Dino was about to give KUDO the Danshoku Driver, Shuji Ishikawa booted him in the head and gave KUDO the Splash Mountain instead. Shuji yelled at KUDO and said that he will beat him at Sumo Hall.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation is going through some changes. Due to Takao Soma’s failure to capitalize his golden opportunity of beating a weakened Shuji Ishikawa and become KO-D Champion, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine took matters into their own hands and kicked Soma out of the group. Matsunaga then announced that the SHF has joined forces with the Susan Guard from Union. The new unit is now called the Susan Shit Heart Superstars!

The unlikely team of Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa surprised everyone by winning the KO-D Tag Team Championships! The TKG48 duo of Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie only had the belts for 15 days until they lost it in their first defence. HARASHIMA & HERO! came out to challenge the new champs. Omega accepted and planned out a special show at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on the 24th June. At this event will be just one match, and that match will be Omega & Nakazawa Vs HARASHIMA & HERO! for the KO-D Tag Titles! Omega then told everyone that he sees Nakazawa’s true potential and he just wants to help his friend.

Only a few more days until Dick Togo calls an end to his illustrious career in Japan. He had his final match for DDT today, teaming with Antonio Honda to defeat Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki. The day before, Togo showed up at the K-DOJO show at Korakuen Hall for one last Kaientai*DX reunion where he again won the match for his team with the deadly Diving Senton.

It was announced that Kota Ibushi will have his first defence of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title against Prince Devitt on 27th August at Sumo Hall.

The final Assassin sent from Bob Sapp to fight Danshoku Dino was Canadian indy wrestler Sexxxy Eddy. Before the match began, Eddy told the crowd that he always has the most beautiful woman in the arena strip him of his clothes. So he brought out Emi Sakura and performed a striptease for her. Dino was able to overcome this last obstacle and is now qualified to fight Bob Sapp at Sumo Hall. That was not the end of the night for Sexxxy Eddy, however. He briefly won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Masa Takanashi and then lost it to Keisuke Ishii.

The Special Dark Match between Gorgeous Matsuno and DJ Nira was interrupted by the announcement of DDT’s next “Anywhere Pro Wrestling” event taking place on 2nd July. The show is titled “Luggage Material Wrestling”. The match still went on while Tsurumi Amon was making the announcement and continued when he was finished. However, the match ran out of time just when DJ Nira hit the Rocket Punch on Matsuno.

Here is the card for Sumo Hall so far:

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”, 24/07/2011
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. MIKAMI Vs Poison Sawada JULIE
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp
3. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Prince Devitt
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs KUDO

DDT “WRESTLING MASTER FINAL COUNTDOWN” Results

May 22, 2011

DDT “WRESTLING MASTER FINAL COUNTDOWN ~ DICK TOGO LOCAL TRIUMPHANT RETURN MATCH”, 22/05/2011
Odate Citizen Gymnasium
472 Fans

1. Hikaru Sato defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Back Drop (7:32).
2. MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira with a School Boy (0:04).
2a. MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira with a School Boy (0:04).
2b. MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira with the Volcanic Bomb (6:03).
3. Takao Soma & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated HARASHIMA & Michael Nakazawa when Soma pinned Nakazawa with the Diving Guillotine Drop (10:40).
4. KUDO & Makoto Oishi defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when KUDO pinned Honda with the Buzzsaw Kick (10:55).
5. The Great Sasuke & Kesen Numajiro defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dino when Sasuke pinned Takagi with the Danshoku Driver (15:46).
6. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Keisuke Ishii when Togo pinned Ishii with the Diving Senton (17:22).

Dick Togo gave his thanks to those in attendence. He told a story about the Odate Citizen Gymnasium being the building where he saw his first live wrestling event. He was very happy to perform there one last time before he retires.

A bouquet of flowers were given to The Great Sasuke before his match, but Danshoku Dino grabbed them off him and threw them to the floor in an act of jealousy. Late in the match, Sanshiro Takagi had Sasuke in a Full Nelson. Dino saw his chance to take advantage and he pulled down Sasuke’s trunks. He was shocked to discover that Sasuke wears the same kind of rainbow colored thong that he does! Sasuke broke free and stunned Dino with a big kiss. He did the same to Takagi and then gave him the Danshoku Driver to win the match!

HARASHIMA & Michael Nakazawa joined forces to fight the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. However, while HARASHIMA was a lot to handle for Takao Soma & Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Nakazawa didn’t pose as much of a threat. During the match, Matsunaga and Nakazawa fought in the stands and up to an empty section of the arena. Matsunaga got the upper hand and threw Nakazawa from the balcony to the floor. It wasn’t that much of a big drop though.

DJ Nira told MIKAMI before their match that he was a stronghold that could not be destroyed and he was ready to start the battle. Then MIKAMI instantly pinned him with a School Boy. Nira challenged him to an immediate rematch. So MIKAMI instantly pinned him with the School Boy again. Nira challenged for one more rematch and this time he avoided the School Boy. Unfortunately for him, MIKAMI survived his never lethal Rocket Punch and brought out a ladder so he could win with the Volcanic Bomb.

4. Ikuto Hidaka, Tomohiro Ishii & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kaz Hayashi, FUNAKI & Yuki Sato
5. Antonio Honda & Jado Vs The Great Sasuke & TAKA Michinoku
6. Dick Togo Retirement Match: Dick Togo Vs Gedo

The latest additions to the card are a Six-Man Tag match featuring Ikuto Hidaka from ZERO1, Tomohiro Ishii from New Japan, Kaz Hayashi from All Japan and former WWE Superstar FUNAKI along with Daisuke Sasaki and Yuki Sato filling up the gaps.

The Tag Team Gauntlet is sure to have some highlights. MEN’s Teioh finds his place on the card teaming with a ninja spirit that goes by the name of HANZO while DDT and Union teams make up the rest of the contestants although there may be one or two more teams added on the night.

UNION “NIMOMAKEZU RAIN”, 02/06/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hiroya Fukuda Vs Shigehiro Irie
2. Ken Ohka & Cherry Vs Mio Shirai & Io Shirai
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs El Generico & Yano K Data
4. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Genichiro Tenryu
5. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Big Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki
6. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs MIKAMI

Seiya Morohashi will officially change his ring name to Big Morohashi on this show.

Shinichiro Tominaga and El Generico will cross paths once again, this time in a tag match. Generico and his partner for the night Yano K Data can make a big splash by grabbing the win over the KO-D Champion, Shuji Ishikawa.

Two thirds of the Triple Tails joshi faction will show up on the show. The Shirai Sisters will take on Cherry and Ken Ohka. The last time Mio Shirai & Io Shirai were in a DDT/Union ring was during last year’s Beer Garden Pro Wrestling shows. It wasn’t a pleasant experience when they fought Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa in a match where the losers had to strip naked. Nakazawa cheated to win but the Shirai Sisters decided to strip him of his dignity instead. Like I said, not pleasant.

Togo’s Final DDT Match, Union To Get A Lot Of People

May 16, 2011

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2011”, 19/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Dick Togo DDT Last Match: Dick Togo & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

Dick Togo will make his final appearance for DDT on this show before his retirement. He will team with Antonio Honda to face Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki. Togo has connections with all three wrestlers, teaming with Honda and Sasaki when they were part of the Italian 4 Horsemen. He is also currently sided with Urano as part of the GRANMA stable.

UNION “I’LL GET A LOT OF PEOPLE IN TOYAMA 2011”, 05/06/2011
Tomiyama Takaoka Ekuru

1. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Hiroya Fukuda
2. Seiya Morohashi & Hiroyo Matsumoto Vs Cherry & Hiro Tsumaki
3. Triple Threat: Isami Kodaka Vs El Generico Vs Cao Zhung (w/ Princess Makoto)
4. SS Susan Vs TKG48: Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Sanshiro Takagi, X & X
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Ken Ohka

On paper this sounds like a one-sided main event, and it probably will be. But you can’t fault Ken Ohka’s enthusiasm when facing against far more established wrestlers. There is a history of Ohka being jealous of Shuji Ishikawa being the ace of Union. Many end of show speeches in the ring have seen Ohka trying to blindside Shuji, only to be swatted away like a bug.

Sanshiro Takagi has promised to team with two “elite” members of the TKG48. Will we see some new additions to the supergroup?

El Generico returns to Union after his impressive victory over Shinichiro Tominaga at “1…2…3…UNION!” back in January. This time he sticks his head into the feud between Isami Kodaka and Cao Zhang for a Triple Threat match.

There will be one more match taking place on the show featuring DDT wrestlers. The participants will be announced soon.

*Togo fails in V3. Ishikawa becomes the 36th Champion!

It really did turn out to be a big day for Shuji Ishikawa. He now reigns supreme as the new KO-D Openweight Champion, defeating Dick Togo for the belt. This is Shuji’s third reign as KO-D Champion, twice as Shuji Ishikawa and once when he wrestled under the mask as Koo. Will we see a similar title run as last time when he was able to hold title defences in Union?

Shuji’s first defence was confirmed to be GENTARO, who kept his word that he would cash in his “Anytime And Anywhere” contract to face the winner of Togo Vs Shuji. The match has been set for 19th June at Korakuen Hall.

Takao Soma declared that he wants to be next in line for a KO-D Title shot after GENTARO gets his match.

Keisuke Ishii was the big winner of the Royal Rumble. His prize was a shot at the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. This meant the surprise return of Masa Takanashi! The match between Takanashi and Ishii was set for 19th June but when the two shook hands, Ishii gave him a Small Package and won the title! However, Masa then gave Ishii a Low Blow and Small Packaged him to win the title back!

This time Bob Sapp sent three assassins after Danshoku Dino. Choun-Shiryu led the attack along with two fighters from Hong Kong Pro Wrestling but Dino was too manly beyond their wildest expectations to be defeated.

The always bouncy in a good way Yuzuki Aikawa announced that she will compete at DDT’s Sumo Hall show.

The 1st Round matches for the King Of DDT tournament have been announced. They will take place on 21st May at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The matches are:

Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega
Antonio Honda Vs Seiya Morohashi
KUDO Vs Yasu Urano
Hikaru Sato Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
Daisuke Sasaki Vs Super Shit Machine
HARASHIMA Vs MIKAMI
Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie
Kota Ibushi Vs Michael Nakazawa

Chiba Blue Field
161 Fans

WEW Hardcore Tag Team Title: Kengo Mashimo & Ryuichi Sekine (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & YOSHIHIKO when Sekine pinned YOSHIHIKO with a Hardcore Body Press (24:40).
*V2 for Mashimo & Sekine.

Kota Ibushi & YOSHIHIKO joined forces and traveled down to Chiba Blue Field to take part in yesterday’s K-DOJO show (No confirmation on whether YOSHIHIKO got a window seat or was stored as luggage on the train ride over). They battled with Kengo Mashimo & Ryuichi Sekine over the WEW Hardcore Tag Team Championships. As you can see by the name of the title, it was defended under Hardcore rules. YOSHIHIKO stole the spotlight with a balcony dive onto the champions. He also joined Ibushi up on top of a vending machine for a double dive when everyone brawled out of the arena. However, the challengers just couldn’t do enough to grab the win. Mashimo & Sekine turned the tables thanks to a ladder. The ending came when Sekine buried YOSHIHIKO under a pile of chairs, climbed the top turnbuckle and splashed onto his opponent.

DDT “WRESTLING MASTER FINAL COUNTDOWN ~ DICK TOGO LOCAL TRIUMPHANT RETURN MATCH”, 22/05/2011
Odate Citizen Gymnasium

Their only victories in the tournament were over the teams of Super Crazy & BUSHI, and MAZADA & Super Hate. Hikaru claimed the wins in both matches, submitting Super Crazy with the Flying Cross Armbreaker and pinning Hate with a High Kick. Sato’s next tournament will be the King Of DDT where a shot for the KO-D Title at Sumo Hall will be on the line.

King of Trios Semi-Final: Icarus, Chuck Taylor & Johnny Gargano defeated Great Sasuke, Jinsei Shinzaki & Dick Togo when Icarus pinned Sasuke with a Small Package (16:13).

Current KO-D Openweight Champion Dick Togo was in America during the weekend for one of the biggest events on the indy wrestling calander, the Chikara King Of Trios tournament. Togo travelled to Philadelphia with fellow Japanese stars The Great Sasuke & Jinsei Shinzaki to enter the tournament and represent Michinoku Pro. They made it to the semi-finals, beating two highly hyped teams along the way. On Night 1 Team M-Pro defeated Team Minnesota in the main event, which marked Sean Waltman returning to his roots and becoming the 1-2-3 Kid once again. Togo claimed the pinfall over Darin Corbin to send his team through to Night 2. There, Team M-Pro went over Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw & Manami Toyota. Reports have it that Togo had no problem beating up joshi legend Toyota when they were in the ring together. But just when it looked like the tournament was there for the taking, Team M-Pro were defeated by Chikara’s most hated Rudos, Team F.I.S.T. DVDs of the event will be available from Smart Mark Video very soon.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation have been getting one over GRANMA for the last couple of shows thanks to some dirty tricks. Now Takao Soma & Super Shit Machine have two more advantages over GENTARO & Yasu Urano, the SHF are allowed fight under No DQ rules and the champions have to pin the challengers for five seconds in order to win. GENTARO & Urano have a tough task ahead of them if they aim to keep the KO-D Tag Team Titles around their waists.

Danshoku Dino is two for two against Bob Sapp’s deadly army of assassins. The third one being sent to face Dino has been described as a thug. Take that for what it’s worth.

Gorgeous Matsuno has been away from wrestling matches in DDT since September 2008 due to old age and ill health. He’s made appearances in DDT since then but this will be his first match back in over two and a half years.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation used plenty of dirty tactics to win both of their matches over GRANMA. Tomimitsu Matsunaga, who announced back at “NON-FIX 3.16” that he would not appear on this event, showed up disguised as the Super Shit Machine and swapped places with the real Machine during its match with Yasu Urano. The plan worked a treat and Matsunaga pinned Urano with Yukinori Matsui none the wiser. Takao Soma won the next match by DQ when he convinced the ref that GENTARO gave him a Low Blow. By winning both matches, the SHF were allowed to add two stipulations for the KO-D Tag Team Title match in Nagoya on 4/17. Their stipulations are that the SHF cannot be disqualified and that Urano & GENTARO can only win by pinning Soma or Machine for 5 seconds rather than the traditional 3 count.

Kenny Omega announced that he will participate in the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title Contendership Tournament. This will be the first time Kenny will enter the annual DDT tournament.

Gorgeous Matsuno will have his return match on 4th May at Korakuen Hall.
