After the main event, Masa Takanashi said win or lose, he always gets beaten up in his matches. However, he believes the years of getting beaten and bruised have toughened him up. Now he can take the best kicks KUDO can give and outlast the KO-D Champion in their title match next month.

Kenny Omega thanked the fans for coming to see him and his shiny new AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title belt.

4. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

Masa Takanashi finds himself in the same main event spot Hikaru Sato was in this time last year. The 2010 “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL” show had Sato become the KO-D Openweight Champion in dramatic fashion, defeating HARASHIMA and halting his KO-D Title run that began at Sumo Hall. Takanashi can repeat the same achievement when he goes up against the champion KUDO.

Kenny Omega’s first challenger for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title has been confirmed to be Minoru, a supernova of the Japanese Jr. Heavyweight scene. Their title match will take place in DDT, which I’ll get to below. But before that match happens, Kenny will be teaming up with HARASHIMA to take on the Junior Stars of Minoru & Koji Kanemoto in Osaka on 6/11.

6. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi

A correction for the match involving the Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health duo of Yoshiaki Yago & Madoka with the oriental couple BENTEN & Miyako. It turns out that Yago will not be facing BENTEN but will in fact have some sort of match against Miyako! BENTEN will be in Miyako’s corner while Yago will have his “Good Nurse” Madoka by his side for the bout.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO” Results

October 10, 2011

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall
381 Fans

1. Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda defeated Poison JULIE Sawada & DJ Nira when Honda pinned Nira with a Bionic Elbow (13:10).
2. 100 Nunchaku & Pots Death Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Hiroki defeated Michael Nakazawa & Chiharu when Hiroki pinned Chiharu with an Iron Nunchaku Strike on a flower pot (15:30).

6. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ishii pinned Dino with the Kneel Kick (15:20).
*Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie become the 40th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

Generation rivals Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie will now have to stick with each other as they became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! They defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi of the new Homoiro Clover Z group to win the vacant titles. It was a pretty nasty finish as Ishii dropped Dino right onto his face with an Exploder Suplex before hitting him with the match winning Kneel Kick. The new champions shook each others hands and celebrated, putting behind their differences to become the new tag team to beat in DDT.

Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa tried to do the Golden Shower onto KUDO during their match, but MIKAMI tripped them off of the top rope.

The annual Sapporo fight between Hiroki the ninja and Chiharu the karate guy was booked as a tag team match this year. Hiroki had Sanshiro Takagi as his tag partner while Chiharu sided with Michael Nakazawa. That was not all. The match would also be a 100 Nunchaku & Pots Death Match and Kota Ibushi was there to do the ring announcements. Nunchaku and coat hangers were placed hanging on the ring ropes while small flower pots, ones made of plastic and ones made of clay, were placed on the ring canvas beneath them. Nakazawa suffered a bloody gash over his right shoulder from the finish. However, he was able to take his forfeit for losing the match. The forfeit was Nakazawa had to place a flower pot over his head with a firecracker inside it while Ibushi lit the cracker’s fuse. It turned out to be a harmful experience for both of them.

Forget Ibushi’s shoulder. With the way he plays with fireworks, one of these days he is going to lose some fingers.

There was no doubt about it, Hikaru Sato is the winner of the DDT48 General Election 2011! A landslide victory means that Sato wins the grand prize of ¥1,000,000 and a KO-D Openweight Title shot against KUDO on 23rd October.

The majority of the line-up was in attendance for the results read out. Those absent due to other commitments were Kenny Omega, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Gorgeous Matsuno, Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka, Tanomusaku Toba and Mr. #6. The hosts for the night were DDT General Manager Tsurumi Amon, Haruo Murata from Dramatic Fantasia and Mita Sayako from Occupation Of The Indies (Carlos was too busy hibernating). They began to introduce the top 18 wrestlers, starting from number 17. Each finalist commented on their placing. Shuji Ishikawa wanted a match against Yasu Urano, Keisuke Ishii said he will do better next year, Antonio Honda thought he was going to win it all, DJ Nira never had a speech prepared, Sanshiro Takagi was impressed with how creative the wrestlers were with their promotional campaigns this year, KUDO wasn’t too upset that the KO-D Champion could only finish 12th, Ken Ohka was very happy to finish 11th, Isami Kodaka was looking forward to competing at the show, MIKAMI thought finishing 10th was less embarrassing than finishing 11th or higher, HARASHIMA was frustrated that he didn’t win and Cherry was greatful for the fans that voted for her.

Makoto Oishi began crying with happiness when it was announced he finished in 6th place. Filled with emotion, Oishi asked Takagi if he could become a full time DDT wrestler. Takagi thought about it and said “Sure. Today, Makoto Oishi is a member of DDT!”

With the top 5 yet to be announced, the hosts turned their attention to the bottom of the table. Only the top 18 could compete at the October Korakuen Hall event, and they had not mentioned who lucky #18 was. After revealing some of the wrestlers who failed to qualify, it was finally revealed that Takao Soma took the 18th and final spot. Takao simply smiled and said “Thank you” before sitting back down.

And so came the top 5. Masa Takanshi thanked Emi Sakura and Yamada Man Pondo for helping him throughout the election, Yasu Urano wanted to accept Shuji’s challenge from earlier, although it has not yet been confirmed, Danshoku Dino said he was looking forward to the future, Kota Ibushi was disappointed he missed out in first place and Hikaru Sato talked about how much he has achieved in his career over the last two years. KUDO and Sato then had a staredown to hype up the main event.

Tsurumi Amon then announced his next big project. A 16-Man Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament will also take place at the 23rd October show. The winner of that tournament will take on the winner of KUDO Vs Sato in a KO-D Title match on 6th November in Osaka.

Kenny Gets AJPW Jr. Title Shot, KO-D Tag Title Match In Sapporo

September 27, 2011

AJPW “PRO-WRESTLING LOVE IN RYOGOKU VOL. 13”, 23/10/2011
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: KAI (c) Vs Kenny Omega

Just like in the Best Of The Super Jr. tournament back in June, Kenny Omega came so close to winning the 2011 AJPW Jr. Heavyweight League. Omega finished second place in Block A behind the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion and eventual tournament winner, KAI. Omega defeated KAI, BUSHI and BLACK BUSHI but what cost him were losses to Kaz Hayashi and MINORU. Hikaru Sato was also in the tournament but could only finish fifth in Block B, beating Jimmy Yang and MAZADA but losing to Hiroshi Yamato, Koji Kanemoto and Shuji Kondo.

Luckily for Omega, he was the only person in the tournament to beat KAI and for that he has been granted a title shot. He will face KAI for the belt at Sumo Hall on 23rd October.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Poison JULIE Sawada & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & DJ Nira
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Hiroki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Chiharu
3. MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi
4. HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomoya Adachi & Takao Soma
5. KUDO & Hikaru Sato Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
6. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

The vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles will be on the line in the main event. Tsurumi Amon thinks the rivalry between Shigehiro Irie and Keisuke Ishii will translate into one well-oiled machine of a tag team. Irie briefly held the KO-D Tag belts with Munenori Sawa back in June while Ishii is coming off of a failed KO-D Openweight Title challenge.

Speaking of Munenori Sawa, this will be one of his last shows in DDT before his retirement. Best to enjoy his team with Sanshiro Takagi while we still can. Meanwhile Takagi will be working double duty by wrestling in the semi-main as well as what I think is a mixed tag match.
