Last Man Standing, Nazo Fukumen, Masayuki Car Accident, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling 2nd Preview

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

The friendship between Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa has turned sour over the KO-D Championship. Omega offered Nakazawa the title shot in the hopes to show the world that his buddy can be a serious wrestler. Nakazawa accepted but kept to his sleazy ways, low blowing Kenny and embarrassing him at Korakuen Hall. Then yesterday at Shin-Kiba 1st RING, Nakazawa went through a gauntlet of 7 wrestlers to prepare himself. He lost to every single one of them. Then Kenny low blowed him partly for payback but also to try and convince Nakazawa to take their title match seriously. He’ll have to because this one match show on Thursday will be fought under Last Man Standing rules. DDT will be using the rule where you have to pin your opponent for the three count before the referee can begin counting to ten.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B

Two mysteriously masked people have invaded Union. The anonymous man and woman are both being referred to as Nazo Fukumen. They kidnapped Jun Kasai and held him hostage at the end of “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”. Their demand was to get booked in Union. Naomi Susan apparently recognises who they are and gave in to their demands without any resistance. The Nazo Fukumen are going to face Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda in a tag team match.

Kengo Ohka, Madoka, Kaori Yoneyama & Gabaiji-chan will also appear on the show. Yoneyama is currently busy designing the brand new championship to be introduced into Union soon. Mitomi Masayuki was supposed to make his Union debut but that has been put off after he fractured his left ankle in a car accident. He will be out of action for at least the entire month of March.

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal:
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie won the tournament yesterday to earn this title shot. While a possible rematch with Kenny Omega looks likely, the wrestling world can take a strange twist and have Michael Nakazawa win the KO-D Title and defend it against Irie instead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE SECOND MEETING”, 25/03/2013

DDT “DRAMATIC 2013 FEBRUARY SPECIAL” Results

February 24, 2013

DDT “DRAMATIC 2013 FEBRUARY SPECIAL”, 24/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

7. DDT Extreme Title – Fan’s Choice: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi
7a. Bodybuilding Match: Kenny Omega defeated Seiya Morohashi by Audience Decision.
7b. One Count Match: Seiya Morohashi defeated Kenny Omega with a Cradle Cutback (5:41).
7c. ABC Match: Kenny Omega defeated Seiya Morohashi with the Croyt’s Wrath (10:45).
*V1 for Kenny Omega.
8. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Final: Shigehiro Irie defeated Makoto Oishi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (13:19).

As the winner of the MAGP Award tournament, Shigehiro Irie was given the grand prize of a KO-D Openweight Title shot on 20/3 and also 2000 yen. Irie correctly identified the cash prize in English this time. But he already knew how to say “two thousand,” so it’s hard to tell if his English is improving.

The DDT Extreme Title match was fought as a Best 2-out-of-3 match with each fall having a different stipulation chosen by a fan vote leading up to the show. The first round was a bodybuilding contest which Kenny won by audience vote. The second round was a match was a One Count match where you only have to pin your opponent for one second. Morohashi won by countering a Cradle from Omega. The final fall was an ABC Match where you can only win with a move beginning with the letter A, B or C. Omega won with the Croyt’s Wrath.

Michael Nakazawa approached Kenny after the match offering an apology for the sneak attack on him last week. This is despite the fact that Nakazawa did the same thing to Hikaru Sato after the NAKAZAWA 7 match earlier in the show. Kenny responded by kicking Nakazawa between the legs and yelled “Show me your guts! Show me your spirit!”

After defeating Keisuke Ishii, Tomoaki Honma said he will tell Ishii what he was missing. But disaster struck when and invisible blow dart shot into his neck and made him faint. Ishii had enough with the constant teasing and challenged Sanshiro Takagi to a match at Yokohama on 10th March.

Michael Nakazawa created the NAKAZAWA 7 match to help prepare for his upcoming KO-D Title shot in four days time. It was pretty much a 6-on-1 Handicap match where a wrestler exits the match after beating Nakazawa. It ended with Hikaru Sato placing Nakazawa in an Ankle Hold but Nakazawa refused to submit. He tried to withstand the pain for as long as he could but Tetsuya Endo threw in a t-shirt to forfeit the match for Nakazawa’s safety. Sato told Nakazawa he was rooting for him against Kenny Omega and Nakazawa’s response, as mentioned above, was to kick Sato in the groin. Nakazawa then yelled he will always be standing and will continue to stand. If I understood him correctly, Nakazawa could be facing Omega in a Last Man Standing match for the KO-D Title.

The Monster Army declared the ring as their battlefield after winning the opening match.

HARASHIMA appeared and apologised to the fans for pulling out of the show due to a mandible fracture.

Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi compared their rivalry to the likes of Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody or Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta.

The second Tokyo Women’s Wrestling preview event will take place on 25th March.

Ken Ohka held a press conference inside the building to announce his brand new promotion Ganbare☆Wrestling. Out of the 15,000 yen Ohka stole from Tsurumi Amon found, he still has 10,005 yen to spend. He is planning to hold Ganbare’s first event in Nankai on 6th March.

Something is brewing in regards to Michael Nakazawa. Four days before his KO-D Title shot against Kenny Omega, he has set up the NAKAZAWA 7 which at the moment looks like a 7-Way free for all. But knowing how sneaky Michael can be, it may become something very different.

KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa is a match so important it has to get it’s own show! Even though Omega nominated Nakazawa to be his next challenger out of friendship, Michael wants to prove he is good enough to be champion. With the KO-D Title on stake, this match won’t be fun and games for either man.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013” Results

February 17, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013”, 17/02/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,532 Fans – Super No Vacancy

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated HARASHIMA with the One-Winged Angel (20:24).
*V2 for Kenny Omega.

Kenny Omega requested a match against his good friend Michael Nakazawa. When Omega first came to Japan, Nakazawa was there for him and has been ever since. However, he doesn’t want to have a comedy match. He knows Nakazawa can make it to the next step and wants to give him one chance to prove it. Nakazawa thanked Omega for the opportunity, said he will be at 120% and will beat Omega.

KUDO achieved something rare today. He is one of the few wrestlers in Japan to win his first match back from an injury. He was rewarded with the MAGP Award from Tsurumi Amon. A tournament between all of the MAGP Award winners will take place in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 24/2. KUDO will compete with Makoto Oishi, Yasu Urano and the next person to win the award.

Keisuke Ishii’s quest to discover what he is missing to be a complete pro wrestler has brought him face to face with Yoshihiko. The doll wrestled dressed in the AKB48 “Flying Get” costume. Since it has no hair, I’m guessing Yoshihiko was pretending to be Minami Minegishi, the AKB48 singer who controversially shaved her head as punishment for being caught spending the night with a male friend. Drift was able to beat The Golden Rendezvous with Ishii pinning Gota Ihashi. Afterwards Ishii demanded Yoshihiko to tell him what he was missing, but it stayed silent. Ishii then demanded Sanshiro Takagi to come out and tell him. Instead he got a video message from President Takagi telling him he was still a student and he needed to wrestle a teacher. That teacher is Tomoaki Honma! Ishii Vs Honma was made for the 24/2 Shin-Kiba show.

Jushin Liger had some pretty nasty things to say about DDT and their fans after he & Hiromu Takahashi beat Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito. Liger called all DDT fans rotten and then challenged Sakaguchi to a singles match anywhere, even in DDT if they have to. A voice in the crowd yelled at them to do the match now and Liger said he would, leading him and Takahashi to attack Sakaguchi and Akito and start a brawl between the four.

Toru Owashi has been welcomed back into DDT after his assessment match. Sanshiro Takagi wasn’t interested in being involved and gave his own partner Michael Nakazawa a Stunner when the match begun. Owashi pinned Nakazawa but Tsurumi Amon demanded the match to restart and pleaded with Takagi to take the match seriously. The rematch began and Takagi gave Nakazawa another Stunner. Nakazawa recovered and Takagi soon got involved in the match properly, using Nakazawa as a weapon on Ken Ohka to win the match. Takagi then accepted Owashi back into DDT. Ohka however was very upset. He resigned from Union and his loss here means he is not good enough for DDT. While Amon tried to console him, Ohka “found” an envelope in Amon’s pocket with 15,000 yen inside it. He decided to start his own wrestling promotion with blackjack and hookers! Takagi told Ohka how difficult it is to launch a promotion with only 15,000 yen but was so impressed with his passion that he allowed Ohka to take Amon’s money and go ahead with his plan.

A big name was announced for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013” on 18th August, the second of DDT’s two Sumo Hall shows. Kensuke Sasaki will be there!

One of my favorite matches in DDT will be brought back on 20th March, The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal! Hikaru Sato also announced a one day grappling tournament will take place that same day.

Kazuki Hirata will return from injury on 20/3 for his first match since January of last year when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Ken Ohka has jumped to DDT! He interrupted a meeting between Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi earlier today that was done to create hype for the 2-on-1 Handicap match that will determine whether or not Owashi deserves a spot in DDT. Barely a day has past since Ohka forced himself to resign from Union after his defeat to Keisuke Ishii in a Loser Leaves Town match yet he claims “The Messiah” is already in hot demand from other promotions. Both Takagi and Owashi told Ohka if that is true then he should go away and join WWE or TNA. Tsurumi Amon decided to make things fair for Owashi and turn the Handicap match into a Tag Team match with Ohka as his teammate.

Anyone who attends the 17/2 Korakuen Hall event will be able to vote for what kind of match Kenny Omega and Seiya Morohashi will have for their DDT Extreme Title bout in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Some of the suggestions Omega and Morohashi came up with are a TLC match, a Falls Count Anywhere match, an ABC match (match can only be won with a move beginning with the letter A, B or C), a First Blood match, a Bodybuilding match, a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match and a Stretch Match (first person to stretch his opponent wins).

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA” Results

February 11, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA”, 11/02/2013
Oyama City Cultural Center
208 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yukio Sakaguchi & Makoto Oishi defeated MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi when Sakaguchi pinned Takanashi with a Right Ad Left High Kick (7:55).
2. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira when Ishii pinned Nira with a Fisherman Buster (10:34).
3. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ibushi pinned Nakazawa with the Sit Down Last Ride (11:48).

5. Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano with an Elbow Butt (17:40).
6. 3 Way Match: Kenny Omega defeated HARASHIMA and Daisuke Sasaki when Omega pinned Sasaji with the Coyt’s Wrath (14:10).

Although nothing was settled between them, Kenny Omega won the main event match that also featured his challenger for the KO-D Title, HARASHIMA. Daisuke Sasaki was the third wheel and even came close to winning the 3 Way match when he gave HARASHIMA the Now Or Never. However, Omega cut him off with the Hadouken and then pinned Sasaki with the Croyt’s Wrath. Omega told HARASHIMA that wrestling him is fun and he looks forward to their match on 17/2.

Shigehiro Irie was given the MAGP Award for the show along with the cash prize of 500 yen. Irie tried to speak English during his acceptance speech but it still needs work. He called the prize “Five million dollars” for example.

Keisuke Ishii has been left puzzled after losing to MIKAMI yesterday. MIKAMI told Ishii that he is missing something fatal that would make him a successful professional wrestler but fainted before he could tell him. Ishii was so desperate to find the answer that he asked DJ Nira during their tag team match if he knew. Nira said the answer was on his shoe. When Ishii bent over to check the shoe, Nira gave him a DDT. Ishii later pinned Nira a Fisherman Buster. He asked him again and just when Nira was about to give an honest answer he fainted. Ishii wondered who else had the answer and Sanshiro Takagi told him he knew who to look for. Yoshihiko! Good thing Ishii and Yoshihiko will be part of a 6-Man Tag Team match on 17/2 in Korakuen Hall.

Sakaguchi’s Thunder Grudge, Yoshihiko Goes Golden

February 6, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013”, 17/02/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango & Yuji Hino Vs MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Tetsuya Endo
2. Toru Owashi Return Assessment: Toru Owashi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa
3. KUDO Comeback Match: KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
4. Kota Ibushi, Gota Ihashi & Yoshihiko Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma
5. Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito Vs Jushin Thunder Liger & Hiromu Takahashi
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs HARASHIMA

In a shocking term of events, a DDT Vs New Japan tag match has been made with Yukio Sakaguchi and Jushin Thunder Liger in opposite sides. The two faced each other in a 6 Man Tag main event at a Legend Pro-Wrestling show on 13th January and Liger criticised Sakaguchi’s performance after the match. Yukio, who represented his father Seiji Sakaguchi on the show will not stand for Liger’s harsh comments. Meanwhile, Tsurumi Amon sensed the opportunity to capitalize on the situation by using DDT’s relationship with New Japan to set up this tag team match which includes Akito and Hiromu Takahashi. Sakaguchi is ready to show Liger he is more than just Seiji Sakaguchi’s son and will show a more savage side when he steps into the ring.

Drift sent out a challenge to the Golden Rendezvous for a 6 Man Tag Team match. However Kenny Omega will be defending the KO-D Championship in the main event. So the Golden Orchid duo of Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi went in search of a third partner. Lo and behold they found the perfect choice, Yoshihiko!

KUDO will find himself in the ring with plenty of familiar faces in his first match back from injury. He has held the KO-D Tag Team Titles with both Yasu Urano and Makoto Oishi. He has also spent plenty of time in his career wrestling with and against Danshoku Dino.

Toru Owashi will have to go through a 2-on-1 Handicap Match to prove he is deserving of a full time spot in DDT.
