One week away from DDT’s final show of the year and both KUDO and MIKAMI have clean pins over each other going into their KO-D Openweight Title match. Tonight, the champion KUDO defeated the challenger with a Buzzsaw Kick. By the way it stands now, if KUDO can avoid MIKAMI’s use of the School Boy he has a good chance at keeping his championship going into 2012.

DDT “TENKA SANBUN NO KAI” Results

December 11, 2011

DDT “TENKA SANBUN NO KAI”, 11/12/2011
Hakata Star Lane
344 Fans

1. Runner Vs Runner: Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Back Drop Hold (8:28).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Rion Mizuki defeated Azul Dragon & DJ Nira when Mizuki pinned Nira with a German Suplex (14:00).

5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ishii pinned Dino with the Kneel Kick (12:19).
*V3 for Ishii & Irie.
6. Sanshiro Takagi, MIKAMI & Takao Soma defeated KUDO, HARASHIMA & Masa Takanashi when MIKAMI pinned Takanashi with the Deep “M” Impact (14:22).

MIKAMI continues his momentum with another tag team main event victory over KUDO. There is just one more skirmish left to take place between the two before they fight for the KO-D Openweight Title on New Year’s Eve. It will happen in Tsukaba, Ibaraki when KUDO & HARASHIMA face MIKAMI & Hikaru Sato on 23rd December.

Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie claim their third defence of the KO-D Tag Team Championships, finally bringing some stability over the titles that have been passed around like a hot potato the last six months. But on New Year’s Eve the champions will face their toughest challenge yet. The Crying Wolf pair of Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino will be their next opponents in Korakuen Hall.

The opening match had both Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Kazuki Hirata come out to the ring with a song called “Runner” as their entrance music, hence the Runner Vs Runner title. It then got confusing when Azul Dragon & DJ Nira came out to the same song for their match with Daisuke Sasaki & Rion Mizuki afterwards.

DDT “MAID CAFE PRO WRESTLING” Results

December 10, 2011

DDT “MAID CAFE PRO WRESTLING”, 10/12/2011
Fukuoka Meinohama Cafe

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Hikaru Sato defeated KUDO & Michael Nakazawa when Sato submitted Nakazawa with an Ankle Hold.

DDT visited a maid cafe in Fukuoka to hold another of its Falls Count Anyhwere matches inside an unusual location. To mark the occasion, both Sanshiro Takagi and Hikaru Sato wrestled in maid outfits while they fought KUDO and Michael Nakazawa. An area of the dining room was cleared to allow space for the wrestlers but as usual, the fighting eventually spread to the outside of the building. Food fights were inevitable as the wrestlers forced each other to eat and drink while applying submission holds. Takagi, Sato and Nakazawa were all hit in the face with birthday cakes. By the time the match was over, the floor was a mess. Luckily for the restaurant, DDT promised to pay for the cleaning expenses.

DDT “NON-FIX 12.7” Results

December 7, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 12.7”, 07/12/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
227 Fans

1. Yasu Urano, Yuji Hino, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano defeated HARASHIMA, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Hoshitango & DJ Nira when Urano pinned Nira with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:12).
2. Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma defeated Michael Nakazawa & Kazuki Hirata when Sato submitted Nakazawa with an Ankle Hold (6:55).
3. Danshoku Dino & Akito defeated Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii when Dino pinned Ishii with the Danshoku Destroyer (13:55).
4. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Masa Takanashi with the NOW OR NEVER (15:29).
5. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when MIKAMI pinned Oishi with a Sliding School Boy (0:15).
5a. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when MIKAMI pinned KUDO with a School Boy (6:44).

MIKAMI reminded everyone that he has a very dangerous weapon in his arsenal that can win him matches at any time. MIKAMI is an expert at using the School Boy and he proved it by instantly pinning Makoto Oishi 15 seconds into the main event. A rematch was declared and this time, MIKAMI pinned the KO-D Champion with a School Boy after six minutes of tag team wrestling. KUDO now faces a big risk of losing the KO-D Title to MIKAMI at New Year’s Eve if he gets caught with the School Boy, not to mention having to worry about MIKAMI’s high risk offence and the possible inclusion of a ladder to the match.

Hakata Card, Crying Wolf, Takagi’s Budokan Thoughts

November 29, 2011

DDT “TENKA SANBUN NO KAI”, 11/12/2011
Hakata Star Lane

1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A. YAZAWA & Ken Ohka Vs Michael Nakazawa & Batten Tamagawa
2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Rion Mizuki Vs Azul Dragon & DJ Nira
4. Hikaru Sato Vs Yasu Urano
5. KUDO, HARASHIMA & Masa Takanashi Vs Sanshiro Takagi, MIKAMI & Takao Soma
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi

It is now confirmed that Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano’s new group will be called Crying Wolf. Honda & Urano have joined forces with former BattlARTS fighter, now demented Joker lookalike, Keita Yano as well as KAIENTAI-DOJO strongman, Yuji Hino. Urano and Hino will be the next team in line for a KO-D Tag Team Title shot, facing the champions on New Year’s Eve at Korakuen Hall.

DDT President Sanshiro Takagi explained why the promotion’s 15th Anniversary show at Nippon Budokan will take place on 18th August next year. He said that Saturday, the day the 18th August will be next year, during the middle of summer is one of the best days to hold a celebration. He feels DDT has been very lucky to have this opportunity and has felt the pressure to deliver a very special event to mark the occassion. He is also trying to decide what kind of match he should have against Minoru Suzuki if they do face each other. A Falls Count Anywhere match that winds up taking place outside the Imperial Palace is one idea Takagi came up with.

The DDT 15th Anniversary show at Nippon Budokan is set for 18th August, 2012. Back at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”, Sanshiro Takagi sent out a challenge to Minoru Suzuki for a match at the Budokan. We’ll see if the match goes ahead.

MIKAMI has emerged as the next challenger for the KO-D Openweight Title. He called KUDO a worthy champion but also said he was not creative enough to lead DDT into its 15th Anniversary. KUDO Vs MIKAMI will take place in DDT’s New Year’s Eve show at Korakuen Hall.

After Kenny Omega successfully chalked his first defence of the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title, he told the fans he is unsure if he could ever defend the belt in DDT again. He thanked the fans for their support. Omega won the match with the One Winged Angel, which was described as a Piggy Back Michinoku Driver.

The Homoiro Clover Z Audition was a 10 minute Battle Royal with the participants needing to dance whenever a Momoiro Clover Z song began playing in the background or else they would be eliminated. When the time limit expired, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi had to choose from all the participants who survived the Battle Royal. They chose Akito, Hiroshi Fukuda, Hikari Minami & Gran Hamada and named their group Homoiro Clover Z Green. Dino & Makoto will now use the name Homoiro Clover Z Black. They have also been given a KO-D Tag Team Title shot against Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie on 11th December.

Yuji Hino was revealed to be the latest ally of Let’s Go 30’s. Hino & Yasu Urano have decided to form a team called Crying Wolf and they will challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles at DDT’s 31/12 Korakuen Hall event.

God Bless DDT, Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match, Busy Schedule

November 26, 2011

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2011”, 27/11/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Toru Sugiura
1. Yasu Rano, Antonio Honda, Keita Yano & X Vs MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Takao Soma & Daisuke Sasaki
2. Michael Nakazawa Vs Hikaru Sato
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Poison JULIE Sawada & Gorgeous Matsuno
4. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Hikari Minami Vs Mitsuya Nagai Vs Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Hercules Senga Vs DJ Nira Vs Akito Vs Gundan Hitori Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Hoshitango
Judges: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
5. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru Tanaka
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs HARASHIMA

This will be one of the more major Korakuen Hall shows DDT will produce this year. A double main event sees KUDO defend the KO-D Title against HARASHIMA in a battle between two of DDT’s most established wrestlers while Kenny Omega sets his first defence of the AJPW Jr. Championship against the Jr. Heavyweight superstar Minoru Tanaka. Meanwhile Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi go on the hunt for a new member of the Homoiro Clover Z stable. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defend the KO-D Tag Titles against the veteran duo of Poison JULIE Sawada & Gorgeous Matsuno, which will still take place despite Matsuno’s health and fitness being under question. But the biggest news will be Sanshiro Takagi announcing the date for DDT’s 15th Anniversary show to be held in Nippon Budokan.

Antonio Honda gave a hint towards the mystery fourth wrestler in the Let’s Go 30’s team. Honda said the wrestler is a “Crying Wolf”, referencing “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” children’s tale.

Hakata Star Lane

1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A. YAZAWA & Ken Ohka Vs Michael Nakazawa & Batten Tamagawa

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match previously took place during the Union day of “BEER FIGHT 2011” week. At times the match will be interrupted by music. Depending on the song being played, every wrestler in the match has to stop wrestling and either dance or drink alcohol until the music stops.

Also scheduled to show up are Hikaru Sato, Daisuke Sasaki, DJ Nira and Freelance Team Oita wrestler Azul Dragon.

DDT and Union have announced a bunch of new events taking place in early 2012. The next couple of months will be very busy as there will be at least one DDT or Union show every week from December until March with shows taking place in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka, Chiba and Nagoya.

Ibushi Out Until May

November 20, 2011

And that’s all I know about the situation…Yeah it’s been a quiet news week.

Last Tuesday, Kota Ibushi had successful surgery done on his left shoulder, which has been injured ever since Ibushi separated the shoulder after a Firebird Splash on Prince Devitt during the 2010 Best Of The Super Jr Final. Until this week, Ibushi had always opted to take short breaks to let the shoulder heal on its own rather than take the surgery and be put on the shelf for longer periods of time. Unfortunately this meant the shoulder could never fully heal and the injuries kept coming back. The recurring problem cut short his run as the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion for New Japan Pro Wrestling as well as his new role in Homoiro Clover Z. Ibushi finally gave in and announced at “NON-FIX 11.13” that he was going under the knife. At the moment everyone is expecting his return to happen in May 2012, just over six months time. He is most likely going to miss the big DDT event of the year, their 15th Anniversary show in Nippon Budokan, the date of which will be announced at next Sunday’s “GOD BLESS DDT 2011” show in Korakuen Hall. DDT’s previous anniversary events have been held in March but that is no guarantee next year’s edition will be the same.

As the year soon draws to a close, I am hoping to add a complete results history for DDT and Union plus some of the sub brands like Hard Hit, BOYS and Cruiser’s Game. The roster pages for DDT and Union have been updated and now show some info on all of the active wrestlers. Any corrections would be appreciated. Rosters for the sub-brands will be included eventually.

DDT “PRESIDENT PERVERT!” Results

November 4, 2011

DDT “PRESIDENT PERVERT! ~ LAST BIG WRESTLING MATCH ON THE STREET”, 04/11/2011
Tokyo Asakusa Flower Mansion
342 Fans

1. Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Championship – 3 Way Tag: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei and Danshoku Dino & Chou-un Shiryu when Sawa pinned Shiryu with the Shining Festival (59:35).
*V2 for Takagi & Sawa.

Another chaotic DDT match is over and done with as Munenori Sawa (the “Hentai” in the show’s title) participated in his final Anywhere Pro Wrestling bout. A 3 Way Tag Team match for the Big China Unified Nakahara Tag Team Titles was the only match on the show but it went on for almost an hour. Chou-un Shiryu was determined to win back his country’s championship and teamed up with Danshoku Dino to go after the belts. The Brahman Brothers were the third wheel and dark horses of the title match, bringing along their unpredictable shenanigans.

The event took place in a flower garden that contained rollercoaster rides. The brawling was allowed to go anywhere, except on the flowerbeds. Michael Nakazawa was the host running around the area shouting through a megaphone. Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda, GENTARO and Hiroyo Matsumoto all showed up at certain points and got involved. Ibushi of course attacked the other wrestlers with fireworks. Traffic cones, powder, tobasco sauce, ketchup, a bottle of Coca-Cola containing Mentos and a Sanshiro Takagi sing-a-long were all used as weapons. The match wound up at a lake with a small bridge going across it. Sawa ran off a plank attached to the bridge and landed a Shining Wizard on Chou-un Shiryu in the water for the victory. Afterwards, Takagi announced that the Big China Tag Titles were going to be sealed and no longer defended in Japan. However, he promised Chou-un that the belts will be returned to China and can be reinstated over there if he wishes.

One last thing happened to close out the show. Takagi thanked Sawa for his time wrestling in DDT and Union by presenting him with a brand new bicycle!
