DDT At Ice Ribbon – Title Changes

June 17, 2011

Masa Takanashi had a hectic day over in Ice Ribbon, a promotion he works with when he is away from DDT, in an event that led to the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changing hands several times throughout the evening. At the very beginning of the show, Masa lost the title to Ice Ribbon founder Emi Sakura. Sakura then defeated Remi Nagano in the regularly scheduled match, only to lose the belt to Nagano afterwards when Nagano took advantage of the 24/7 rules. Her title run was very brief as Hikari Minami ran in and quickly defeated Nagano to become the new champion. An hour later Emi Sakura won back the title from Minami only to drop it back over to Masa Takanashi, who left the show as champion. If Masa is still champion by the time DDT holds its next Korakuen Hall show on 19/6, then his official return match against Keisuke Ishii will be for the belt.

Speaking of Ice Ribbon, Chou-un Shiryu & Makoto Oishi won the International Ribbon Tag Team Championships on 11th June by defeating recently crowned champs Hamuko Hoshi & Mochi Miyagi, aka The Lovely Butchers. However, three days later Oishi was put on the injured list with a knee problem. They are still champions at the moment but plans may change depending on how long Oishi will be gone for.

What Are You Doing? I’m Posting The Full Card For The Show!

June 14, 2011

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

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine Vs Rion Mizuki & Hoshitango
0. Special Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Kota Ibushi, KUDO, Hikaru Sato & X Vs HARASHIMA, HERO!, MIKAMI & Kazuki Hirata
2. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
3. Dick Togo DDT Last Match: Dick Togo & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki
4. Bob Sapp Games – Final Stage: Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp’s Final Assassin
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

The unlikely partnership of Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa are the first challengers for the new KO-D Tag Team Champions, Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie. Let’s just assume for the moment that the unofficial team name for Kenny & Michael is The Lotion Lovers.

One more match for Danshoku Dino to win so he can finally fight Bob Sapp. The last challenge is always the most difficult. Can Dino overcome what could be the most dangerous assassin of all?

Kota Ibushi will get his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title shot over at New Japan the day before this show. No hints were given as to who the fourth member of his team will be in the 8-Man Tag here.

Two KO-D Title Matches, Official Masa Comeback

May 6, 2011

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

1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

Shuji Ishikawa has a tough challenge ahead for his title reign. He will defend the KO-D Openweight Title against GENTARO on 19th July when GENTARO cashes in his “Anytime And Anywhere” contract. But that is not all for the championship on that night. There will be not one but two KO-D Title matches taking place in Korakuen Hall with the winner of Shuji Ishikawa Vs GENTARO taking on Takao Soma afterwards. Takao Soma has seen his profile in DDT rise ever since he won the Young Drama Cup. Since then, he has taken over the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation and revamped it to be a threat instead of a joke. Now he will have the advantage of being the fresh man in his title match.

We had the surprising return of Masa Takanashi at “MAX BUMP 2011” to announce his comeback match at the 19th June Korakuen Hall show. He will take on Keisuke Ishii in his first match since injuring his right knee last May and it will be for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. When Masa and Keisuke had a faceoff at “MAX BUMP 2011”, Ishii used the 24/7 rule to his advantage by rolling over Masa with a Small Package to win the title when Masa least expected it. However, Masa quickly did the same to Ishii to win the belt back. Now they will meet in a proper match with the title on the line.

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

1. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Genichiro Tenryu
2. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Seiya Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki
3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs MIKAMI

MIKAMI earned a shot at the DDT Extreme Title when he and Jun Kasai defeated Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data at “GOLDEN UNION 2011”.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Dick Togo (c) with the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain (31:18).
*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
