Iron Man Title Hijacked And Bolivia Bound!

July 12, 2012

The unpredictable nature of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has struck again! During today’s press conference announcing the remaining card for the DDT 15th Anniversary Show, champion Choun-Shiryu made an appearance to be interviewed about the title being defended in a Royal Rumble match at the show. The interview was disrupted when an anonymous note was passed over to Tsurumi Amon. The note said:

Hello DDT Pro Wrestling,

Today I heard there is an open press conference for DDT. I will take the Iron Man belt from you. Thank you in the future.

SATO

Amon sat there wondering which Sato wrote the letter. Was it Hikaru Sato? Was it Akio Sato from the Orient Express? If it was Akio, does that mean he was sending Hakushi after the champion? All of a sudden, a voice interrupted his train of thought.

“Please excuse me.”

It was independant wrestler Yuki Sato. He entered the room and admitted the letter was from him. Sato told Shiryu that he wanted the title. Shiryu stood up to face him but Sato told him his shoelaces were untied. When Shiryu bend down to tie his shoes, Sato grabbed an object and whacked the champion over the head with it. Sato then pinned Shiryu and officially became the 922nd champion.

Sato then suddenly said he was taking the belt with him to Bolivia, where he was going to defend the belt against none other than Dick Togo!

Tsurumi Amon was shocked but quickly came up with a plan. If no one can get the belt back before the 15th Anniversary Show, then the winner of the Royal Rumble at the event will be declared the No. 1 Contender for the championship. The winner will then be sent to Bolivia (at their own expense) to challenge the champion, no matter who it is.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2012” Results

5. KO-D Tag Team Title: KUDO & Makoto Oishi (c) defeated Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki when KUDO pinned Takanashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (13:16).
*V1 for KUDO & Makoto Oishi.
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi defeated Yuji Hino (c) with the Phoenix Plex (21:12).
*Yuji Hino fails in V2. Kota Ibushi becomes the 42nd KO-D Openweight Champion!

The Golden Star has completed his climb back to the top of DDT! After a 20 minute battle with the K-DOJO powerhouse Yuji Hino, the KO-D Openweight Title is now around the waist of Kota Ibushi for the second time in his career. Ibushi dug deep and defeated Hino with the Phoenix Plex, a move Ibushi had only previously used once before against HARASHIMA at Sumo Hall back in 2009. Now he waits for the KING OF DDT 2012 winner to meet him in Budokan Hall.

Or maybe not. Someone had to come in and spoil the party and that someone was DJ Nira. As Ibushi was celebrating with his title belt, DJ Nira stepped into the ring and told Ibushi that he is not the only person who is eligible to compete in the main event of Budokan Hall. Nira showed his “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere” contract to Ibushi, shook his hand and then left the ring. Will Nira really cash it in at Budokan Hall?

This defeat continues the recent bad period Yuji Hino has had with championship matches. Not only has Hino lost the KO-D Title and the KO-D Tag Team Title, he also lost the STRONGEST-K Tag Team Title earlier this month in K-DOJO. Just goes to show how fickle a pro wrestler’s fate can be.

The nWJ shocked everyone when the fourth man turned out to be Yoshiaki Fujiwara! Tsurumi Amon could only watch on helplessly while his team were getting destroyed by Sanshiro Takagi and his group. After the mtch, Amon considered quitting his role as DDT General Manager. However, Katsuji Nagashima stepped in and encouraged Amon to stay in the job. With the war against Tsurumi Amon seemingly won, Takagi now gets to focus on his upcoming match against Minoru Suzuki in Budokan Hall. Takagi asked Fujiwara to coach him for the time being and Fujiwara accepted the offer.

Takagi was then joined in the ring by Masayuki Sato, the editor in chief of Weekly Pro-Wrestling to announce a special issue of the magazine will be released during the run up to the big show to celebrate DDT’s achievements.

A special opening video will be created for DDT’s 15th Anniversary show. DDT will be teaming up with manga artist Yoichi Takahashi, the creator of the famous football series Captain Tsubasa to make an animated video to open up the big event. If my translation is correct, the video will be about the DDT roster playing a game of football that leads them over to Budokan Hall. So imagine those Nike and Addidas advertisements but with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo replaced with Danshoku Dino and Michael Nakazawa.

Tensions are mounting between HARASHIMA and Shigehiro Irie. Even though HARASHIMA won the latest match between the two, they continued fighting after the bell. Fans won’t have to wait long for their next encounter as you will see below.

The joshi tour is over for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Now it is going over to China. Tsukasa Fujimoto was able to make it to today’s show despite losing the belt yesterday to Tsukushi in Ice Ribbon, who then lost it to a ring mat. The title then went back to Fujimoto and after a few more title changes she survived the Battle Royal as champion. At least until Choun-Shiryu snuck up on her, pinned her and then ran off with the belt.

That wasn’t the only story coming out of the Iron Man Title match. Before it began, video footage was shown of Danshoku Dino entering a bar owned by former DDT and Toryumon wrestler Toru Owashi. Dino met with Owashi and pleaded him to return to DDT. Owashi refused and kicked Dino out. The Battle Royal would then be interrupted by further video footage of Owashi looking depressed over his decision. Owashi’s mother slapped some sense into him and off he went to Korakuen Hall. When Owashi finally arrived, everyone in the ring gave him a Rocket Punch. Owashi then announced he will return to the DDT ring at Budokan Hall.

MIKAMI will return to action at DDT’s next Korakuen Hall show on 22nd July. DDT is also hoping to bring in Tatsumi Fujinami.

The lottery to determine the first round for KING OF DDT 2012 was held at the end of the show. The matches are as follows:

Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Masa Takanashi
Kenny Omega Vs Daisuke Sasaki
Michael Nakazawa Vs Hikaru Sato
Shigehiro Irie Vs HARASHIMA
Keisuke Ishii Vs Takao Soma
KUDO Vs Antonio Honda
Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi
Akito Vs Danshoku Dino

No unexpected match-ups there. Each of the pairings are very familiar with each other by now. Akito was quick to leave a message on Twitter saying as much as he admires Dino, his goal is to win the tournament not just as a DDT wrestler but as a Sportiva Entertainment wrestler too.

DDT “ANGRY PE GOOD PE IN IBARAKI” Results

June 16, 2012

DDT “ANGRY PE GOOD PE IN IBARAKI”, 16/06/2012
Ushiku Athletic Park Gymnasium
203 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Hikaru Sato & Tetsuya Endo when Ishii pinned Endo with a Fisherman Buster (9:32).
2. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Mitsuhiro Yoshida with an Avalanche Brainbuster (11:17).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Tsukasa Fujimoto (c) defeated DJ Nira, Masa Takanashi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga (6:32).
*V1 for Tsukasa Fujimoto?
3a. Tsukasa Fujimoto eliminated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Tsukadora (5:37).
3b. Tsukasa Fujimoto eliminated Masa Takanashi by Ring Out (5:50).
3c. Tsukasa Fujimoto eliminated DJ Nira by Ring Out (6:32).
4. Why Does Michael Nakazawa Mess With Insanely Funny Game? – Verification Match: Danshoku Dino & Akito defeated Antonio Honda & Michael Nakazawa with the Danshoku Nightmare (12:33).
5. HARASHIMA defeated Takao Soma with the Somato (10:33).
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: KUDO & Makoto Oishi defeated Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) when KUDO pinned Urano with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:33).
*Crying Wolf fail in V3. KUDO & Makoto Oishi become the 44th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

Homoiro Clover Z has good reasons to celebrate tonight because KUDO & Makoto Oishi are the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! It was a big task made even tougher when Yuji Hino & Yasu Urano attacked the challengers during a handshake at the beginning of the match. But the tactic to focus on Urano and get Hino out of the match for as long as possible worked out in the end. The new champions said they now have a golden ticket for Budokan Hall and they hope Kota Ibushi will be joining them. Both Urano & Hino refused to give any comments to the press after the match.

DDT prepared a crack team of wrestlers to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from the recent string of women wrestlers. Unfortunately Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki were busy wrestling in New Japan. So DDT had to make do with Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira instead. Tsukasa Fujimoto eliminated all three of them in a Battle Royal to keep the championship. Afterwards Fujimoto said that she heard that whoever holds this belt will be guaranteed to wrestle inside Budokan Hall soon. She is not afraid of anyone who will attack her while she is walking down a street in the middle of the night just to get the belt. She will continue to hold the belt and will soon represent Ice Ribbon in Budokan Hall. Later on in the show, Matsunaga ambushed Fujimoto to try and win the belt. However, Fujimoto avoided getting pinned and ran away safely.

Sanshiro Takagi Vs Daishi began with the injured Mitsuhiro Yoshida admitting that he wasn’t injured at all. He tricked Takagi into having a match with Daishi, who had wanted to fight the DDT president at his own game. The match spread out of the ring and even out of the building to a playground outside the building. Takagi eventually won the match and he shook hands with Daishi. He also tricked Yoshida and gave him a Stunner when he reached out to shake his hand.

Iron Man Goes Bananas

June 13, 2012

Another day, another Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change. Continuing the current path around the joshi circuit, the belt will now be travelling towards Ice Ribbon as their current ace Tsukasa Fujimoto won the belt from Hiroyo Matsumoto at the end of today’s show. The title change happened when Matsumoto slipped on a banana peel and Fujimoto capitalised on her moment of weakness. Matsumoto became champion a few days ago when she defeated Mio Shirai over in Oz Academy. If DDT wants the title back (and judging from previous incidents the answer to that is maybe) this could be their best chance now the belt is in Ice Ribbon since wrestlers like Masa Takanashi compete there on a regular basis. Or they could just wait for the champion to defend the belt in Korakuen Hall on 24th June. Whichever comes first. No word on whether or not the banana will join the title chase.

With an active freelance career, Mio’s title reign could possibly bring the title to promotions such as Union, Wrestling New Classic, Oz Academy and Osaka Pro. Plus she is currently the person expected to defend the title in a Battle Royal for DDT on 24th June.

*V3 for Ayumi Kurihara?
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ayumi Kurihara (c) by Pinfall (2:52 pm).
*Hiroshi Fukuda became the 906th champion.
6. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Keisuke Ishii defeated HARASHIMA, Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi when Ibushi pinned Takanashi with the Sit Down Last Ride (13:36).
7. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yuji Hino & Yasu Urano (c) defeated GENTARO & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Urano pinned Matsunaga with the Tombstone Piledriver (20:36).
*V2 for Crying Wolf.
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Hoshitango defeated Hiroshi Fukuda (c) by Pinfall (3:52 pm).
*Hoshitango becomes the 907th champion.
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Michael Nakazawa defeated Hoshitango (c) by Pinfall (3:53 pm).
*Michael Nakazawa becomes the 908th champion.
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Ayumi Kurihara defeated Michael Nakazawa (c) by Pinfall (3:53 pm).
*Ayumi Kurihara becomes the 909th champion.

After dispatching of Tomomitsu Matsunaga & GENTARO, Crying Wolf are now being challenged by KUDO & Makoto Oishi for the KO-D Tag Team Title. Yasu Urano said it doesn’t matter if KUDO is teaming with Oishi, Danshoku Dino or Akito. They will all lose to Crying Wolf. Yuji Hino said he does not want to face them because he does not like easy challenges. The title match will take place on 16/6 in Ushiku.

There were a couple of Iron man Heavymetalweight Title changes today as Ayumi Kurihara finally made an apperance in DDT since winning the title. Even though she beat Hiroshi Fukuda in their 6-Man Tag Team match, Fukuda snuck a pin after the match and won the belt. Then Hoshitango beat Fukuda. Michael Nakazawa became the next champion only to lose it back to Ayumi Kurihara. That is the most recent title change I know of. On a sidenote, I put down that result as V3 because since she won the title, Kurihara beat Shu Shibutani in WAVE and Sakura Hirota in Oz Academy. Even if they weren’t acknowledged as Iron Man Title matches by those promotions they still count. Just ask Kana.

The nWJ revealed that they have a powerful figure in the world of wrestling backing them as an advisor. The backer is Katsuji Nagashima, who was the manager director of World Japan back when it existed. On 24/6 at Korakuen Hall, the nWJ will face Michael Nakazawa, Batten Tamagawa, Kenny Omega and a mystery partner in an 8-Man Tag Team match. The nWJ’s fourth man is only listed as a “Helper” so far.

The 16 competitors for this year’s King Of DDT tournament have been announced. They are HARASHIMA, KUDO, Kenny Omega, Danshoku Dino, Masa Takanashi, Makoto Oishi, Hikaru Sato, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Keisuke Ishii, Michael Nakazawa, Takao Soma, Shigehiro Irie, Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Yasu Urano and Akito. So no real surprises there. The winner of the tournament will face the KO-D Openweight Champion (who at this point will either be Yuji Hino or Kota Ibushi) at Budokan Hall.

1. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Mitsuhiro Yoshida

Kota Ibushi will not be at the Ushiku show. Instead he will be wrestling for New Japan’s “DOMINION” PPV in Osaka. His match for that show will be announced by New Japan soon.

Freelancer Mitsuhiro Yoshida comes back for his first match in DDT since December.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2012”, 24/06/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie
2. KUDO, Makoto Oishi & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Masa Takanashi, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Kota Ibushi

You can argue about whether or not it is too early for Ibushi to get a title shot but if anyone has a chance to dethrone Yuji Hino, it’s him. That’s easier said than done though. Hino already pinned Ibushi during their KO-D Tag Team Title match earlier this month. With Budokan Hall on the horizon, this could go either way.
