A team challenge took place throughout the show. The Dropkick Bar wrestlers were on Team Red and their opponents were on Team White.

In the main event the White Team introduced Jun Kasai as their mystery wrestler. Isami Kodaka landed the Diving Double Knee Drop from the ladder onto Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and the challenge for his team. Afterwards he offered Kasai a match on 27th October. Kasai accepted.

Hiroshi Fukuda and The Great Kojika sang old songs while they wrestled each other.

Music from Ashita no Joe played throughout the Glove Match. By the time the match went into the final round Kodaka was starting to resemble Joe Yabuki in his final fight.

A single lighttube was attached to the ropes for Match #3. The aim of the match was to smash the lighttube into the opponent.

In the opening match a wrestler had to drink a glass of tequila every time they were thrown out of the ring. Tetsuya Endo put Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold and force fed him the bottle, rolling him over with a School Boy afterwards.

1. Judo Army Vs Karate Bodybuilding Allies Final Settlement: Hiroshi Fukuda, Gorgeous Matsuno, Mame Endo & Pedro Takaishi defeated Kazuhiko Ogasawara, Ryu Gouma, Seiya Morohashi & Macho Michaels when Fukuda submitted Gouma with the This Morning Lock (6:40).

6. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka defeated FUMA (c) with the Isamuashi Zan (16:55).
*FUMA fails in V4. Isami Kodaka becomes the 5th Union MAX Champion!

The King has finally been defeated! After months of dominating Union, FUMA lost his Union MAX Title to Isami Kodaka. FUMA had SAGAT trying to help with when he hit Kodaka with the Goregrind but it didn’t work. Kodaka fought back with a Sliding Lariat and hit the Isamuashi Zan to win the title for the second time. Kodaka mentioned Union only has two shows left before it shuts down and he has a selfish idea. He wants to put the MAX Title on the line against Shuji Ishikawa in the main event of Union’s final show on 4th October.

Shuji Ishikawa & Daichi Kazato fought two of All Japan’s best in the semi-main event. They lost to Go Shiozaki & Kotaro Suzuki but Kazato impressed them. In the post-match interview Suzuki said Kazato is an energetic, gutsy young man. Shiozaki noticed a kind of vigor about him. They both thought Union had a good atmosphere to wrestle in because they sensed unity between everyone invovled.

The Hardcore match between Mio Shirai and Jun Kasai was not pretty. Before the match began Shirai said she was prepared to win but she wasn’t the one who brought a barbed wire bat with her. Kasai busted Shirai open with a chairshot and also by rubbing the bat against her head. She fought back when she applied the Figure Four Neck Lock with the bat pressed against Kasai’s forehead. She kicked out of a Brainbuster and the Reverse Tiger Driver but was eventually put away with the Pearl Harbour Splash. Kasai told Shirai she showed a lot of guts today and he was amazed by the spirit she showed.

Last month Mio Shirai lost the Fly To Everywhere Title to Aoi Kizuki in Ice Ribbon. Kizuki came over to Union today to compete but Cherry wasn’t happy to see her. Cherry wants to be the Fly To Everywhere Champion when Union closes down so she challenged Kizuki to a title match on 15th September.

Ayumu Honda suffered a nose injury and was unable to wrestle in the opener. Gorgeous Matsuno took his place in the Judo Army. That’s not all, Pedro Takaishi from the old MUSCLE promotion was the mysterious fourth member. The Judo Army went against an alliance of Karate people and bodybuilders. Ryu Gouma didn’t know much about karate but he had a rulebook to help him. Unfortunately Hiroshi Fukuda threw him down and tapped him out.

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL HEAVEN” Results

August 28, 2015

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL HEAVEN”, 28/08/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
324 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda when Endo pinned Umeda with the Torture Rack Bomb (9:05).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated MIZUHO with a School Boy (8:19).
3. Shinkiba Famous Golden Love Lotion Title – Ladder Match: Jaki Numazawa & Takayuki Ueki defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & Seiya Morohashi when Numazawa grabbed the lotion (14:13).

4. Somigaku-gatana & Yasuura No defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang when Somato pinned Shiryu with the Shin Somato (15:05).
5. Koshien Finals Of Summer: Isami Kodaka defeated Atsushi Maruyama with the Running Isamuashi Homerun (19:01).

A notable journalist was in the crowd to watch DDT for the first time. Yoichi Watanabe was kidnapped in Afghanistan in 2010 and kept captive for five months until he was freed. Isami Kodaka invited him into the ring after the main event for a toast.

A brand new championship was introduced for wrestlers to get their hands on, although it is a little bit slippy. The Shinkiba Famous Golden Love Lotion Title was on the line in a Ladder Match. A bottle of lotion was hung over the ring and whoever climbed the ladder and grabbed it was declared the winner. However there was other bottles of lotion around ringside that could be used. Takayuki Ueki was fixated on using the lotion to wash his chest hair. He also pulled a gun on everybody. Seiya Morohashi was pinned down with the ladder while Hiroshi Fukuda and Jaki Numazawa both climbed to the top despite being covered in lotion. Fukuda had a microphone and he asked Numazawa to sing with him. He did but it was a trick! Fukuda grabbed Numazawa and yelled he was going to do the Perfect Plex off the ladder. However Fukuda instead lost his grip because of the lotion and slipped off the ladder, Numazawa alone to grab the lotion bottle. He and Ueki celebrated the victory by hugging each other’s slippy bodies.

Yuka Sakazaki and MIZUHO both wrestled in yukatas. They used a water gun and rubber floating ring during their match.

Today was the first day of voting for the 2015 DDT Dramatic General Election. Although he wasn’t wrestling on the show, Makoto Oishi was in attendance trying to win votes by giving free hugs to people.

Union Pro To Disband

August 17, 2015

A press conference was held today to announce the dissolution of Union Pro Wrestling on 4th October, the day of their 10th Anniversary show in Korakuen Hall. The three key figures of Union Naomi Susan, Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka were in attendance to explain their decision.

Originally it was just Susan who was going to leave the promotion after the 10th Anniversary show. However when that news broke everyone in Union felt the company in its current form could not exist without her. Susan revealed there have been talks of forming a new promotion that would be closer in direction to DDT but out of respect for the Union locker room she will let the wrestlers talk about their futures when the time comes. Ishikawa however said he will become a freelancer when Union closes down. He will be 40 years old in September and wants to continue proving his strength in the ring. Kodaka said with only three shows left in Union’s life he hopes they will run full force towards 4th October.

When asked if there was any dissent among the roster over the decision Kodaka said everyone is feeling painful about it. He repeated that Susan was irreplaceable and apologised to the fans for what sounds like a selfish reason for their decision. The future of the Union MAX Title and Fly To Everywhere Title was brought up but no decision has yet been made to seal the championships or keep them active.

The conference ended with Kodaka saying he wants Union’s end to be a complete explosion. Though this is a negetive story it can be turned into something positive. Everyone in Union will be laughing happily until the end.

I’ll try to keep you all posted about Union’s future when more information comes out.

UNION “TOWARD THE SUMMER UNION 2015” Results

July 18, 2015

UNION “TOWARD THE SUMMER UNION 2015”, 18/07/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
200 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & Ayumu Honda defeated Kazuhiko Ogasawara & Ryu Gouma and Seiya Morohashi & Macho Michaels when Honda submitted Gouma with the Cross Armlock (4:39).
2. Kazuki Hashimoto & Kazumi Kikuta defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Ryota Nakatsu when Hashimoto submitted Masayuki with an Ankle Hold (15:20).
3. Mixed Tag Match: Mio Shirai & HAYATA defeated Cherry & Kaji Tomato when HAYATA pinned Cherry with the Tsuchigumo (10:07).
4. Scramble Bunkhouse Death Match: FUMA, MEN’S Teioh & SAGAT defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato when FUMA pinned Kazato with the Diving Headbutt (26:20).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Madoka with the Isamuashi Zan (22:14).
*V3 for Isami Kodaka.

The main event is said to be an exciting match between two wrestlers who have a lot of history together. Madoka even tried the Shooting Star Press which he has not used in years. After Isami Kodaka won the match he talked about himself and Madoka wrestling in K-DOJO together. Madoka was only 17 when he debuted there while Kodaka was 20. The two shook hands but FUMA then showed up to confront Kodaka. FUMA said the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title has a great history but he should be main eventing shows because he is the Union MAX Champion. Kodaka challenged FUMA to a match on 30th August, Title Vs Title!

The Scramble Bunkhouse Death Match was as chaotic as expected. A barbed wire baseball bat was placed in the middle of the ring and both teams raced towards it from opposite ends of the room when the match began. Chairs and a steel chain were also brought into play. Daichi Kazato went hardcore by putting SAGAT through a table. But FUMA took him out wit a Brainbuster onto the pile of chairs followed by a PK with the barbed wire bat placed in front of Kazato. FUMA then hit the Diving Headbutt to finish him off.

Mio Shirai thanked HAYATA for teaming with her and said he was like a brother or step-brother to her. She complimented him for using her Tsuchigumo finisher to win the match and permitted him to continue using it. The move is a gift from her.

Almost everyone in the opener was dressed in appropriate clothing for the challenge between Karate, Judo and bodybuilding. Kazuhiko Ogasawara wore his karate gi as usual, Hiroshi Fukuda & Ayumu Honda were both wearing judogi and Seiya Morohashi & Macho Michaels both wrestled in skimpy bodybuilding tights. Only Ryu Gouma showed up wearing his normal suit. Gouma gave a closing argument that it was time for him to defend Japan from the dangerous threats of judo and bodybuilding. Unfortunately for him Judo won the day when Ayumu tapped out Gouma.

363 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang when MIKAMI pinned Shiryu with the Jackknife School Boy (12:30).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Akane Miura defeated Yuka Sakazaki and Hyper Misao when Miura submitted Misao with the Canadian Backbreaker (7:28).

5. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu when Shu & Kei pinned Nakatsu with the Gotai Fumanzoku (Talks About The Universe) (17:04).

The main event was a mess like all Brahman Brothers matches tend to be. Everyone was soaked in beer and water. The pig head, carrying case and bowling ball all came into play. Hiroshi Fukuda interfered and Clotheslined both Brahmans while the fans chanted “USA!”. The Brahmans later brought in buckets of noodles to turn the tables. They blinded their opponents with black ink to get the win.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Ryuichi Kawakami both sang “Subaru” by Shinji Tanimura together during their match.

The next Tavern Wrestling show will have Isami Kodaka Vs Atsushi Maruyama as well as Zhao Yun & Cao Zhang Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015” Results

May 23, 2015

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall
230 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Mitomi Masayuki with the Sister Abigail (7:42).
2. Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Ryu Gouma with the Upper Left Turn Kick (4:20).
3. Cherry defeated Aoi Ishibashi with the Spring Night Love (6:04).
4. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Mio Shirai defeated A.YAZAWA with the Figure 4 Neck Lock (12:43).

7. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Ikuto Hidaka with the Isamuashi Zan (19:01).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka.

Isami Kodaka was full of praise for Ikuto Hidaka after the main event. Kodaka said Hidaka was just the kind of guy he was waiting for to have a title match with.

Even thought it was a 3-on-1 Handicap match in favour of Union, FUMA had the King Legion watching his back and interfering on his behalf. The match wound up becoming 4-on-3. The King Legion got rid of Seiya Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda, leaving FUMA to finish off Yusuke Kubo. But Kubo dodged the Diving Headbutt and suddenly pinned FUMA with the Mexican Roll (Leg Trapped Backslide Pin). Kubo challenged FUMA to a Union MAX Title match at Shin-kiba 1st RING on 17th June.

Ladybeard wanted to help Union defend itself against the King Legion. He called the King Legion a not cute family. Kazushi Miyamoto is the not cute dad, MEN’S Teioh is the not cute mom and SAGAT is the not cute baby! Ladybeard came close to victory after capitalising on some teamwork that backfired. But Teioh turned the tables and rolled him into a pin.

The finish to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match had Mio Shirai and A.YAZAWA dancing to the Rocky theme. YAZAWA was giving Shirai a piggy back ride when the music stopped so Shirai rolled down and caught YAZAWA in the Figure 4 Neck Lock to tap him out. Shirai wants to challenge for the Fly To Everywhere Title one more time before she retires. She was told Hibiscus Mii will be back in Union on 17th June so the title match will take place there.

Ryu Gouma wanted to wrestle under a specific set of rules for his match with Kazuhiko Ogasawara. The rule changes meant nothing as Ogasawara obliterated him with karate kicks. Afterwards Ogasawara asked Gouma if Union is in a good state going into its 10th year of existence. Gouma said things are going well. Ogasawara kicked him again and said he will go back to training.

The Brahman Brothers will defend the UWA World Tag Team Titles against Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata at the 17/6 show.

10. Shinjuku Maximum Ground Budokai – Final: Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka with the Tombstone Piledriver (28:39).

Inspired by Dragon Ball, Isami Kodaka put together his own Budokai tournament for his friends and colleagues. With no ropes needed for the early rounds there were plenty of Ring Out finishes. The final came down to Kodaka and Yasu Urano in a normal rules match with the ropes included. Urano also had Abdullah Kobayashi supporting him in his corner. The two fought for almost 30 minutes but in the end Kodaka came up short and fell to Urano’s Tombstone Piledriver. His prize for winning the tournament was some praise from Kodaka during the victory speech.

Daisuke Sekimoto was disappointed he was not in the tournament. He told Kodama if there is ever a chance for them to have a match then they should do it.

2a. 3 Way Rematch: Shigehiro Irie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & DJ Nira when Irie submitted Nira with an Osaekomi (0:03).
2b. Another 3 Way Rematch: Shigehiro Irie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & DJ Nira when Irie submitted Nira with a Hadakajime (5:04).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Akito & MIKAMI when Takao pinned Akito with the Gin And Tonic (11:24).
4. Next KO-D Tag Team Title Challengers Match: KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki when KUDO pinned Sasaki with the Diving Double Knee Drop (14:26).
5. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Hirata pinned Katsumata with the Viagra Driver (5:57).
6. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Urano with the Sobat Kick (18:57).

The main event of today’s show was a DDT Vs Union crossover battle. HARASHIMA and Isami Kodaka got to test each other out before the big KO-D Openweight Title match at the end of the month. However it was FUMA and Yasu Urano who were involved with the finish. FUMA pinned Urano while Kodaka wiped out HARASHIMA with a Suicide Dive outside the ring. Kodaka complimented FUMA with a “Well done!” after the match. Kodaka then said he and FUMA are a much better team than Smile Squash because they are the UWA World Tag Team Champions. He thanked the fans for the 689 votes he got in the DDT Dramatic General Election that granted him his title shot.

KUDO & Masa Takanashi earned a KO-D Tag Team Title shot when they beat Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki. The title match will be in Sapporo on 12th October. The champions Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo watched the match from a corner of the venue and approached their next challengers. Takeshita said as the future of DDT he and Endo will not lose to Shuten-dōji. Instead they will use Shuten-dōji as a stepping stone. Endo said he will have raise a toast with protein when they win. Takanashi warned that they were making a big mistake. KUDO said he has won the KO-D Openweight and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as part of Shuten-dōji. He now cherishes the chance to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

Kazuki Hirata failed to appear with his teammates for the semi-main event. It was explained that Hirata is suffering from Magnum Syndrome and one of the side effects is being unable to enter ringside without his theme music. Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata took advantage and overwhelmed the remaining T2Hide wrestlers until “Tokyo GO!” was finally played. Hirata came to the rescue, fueled by his song. That was the deciding factor and T2Hide came out on top.

Soma Takao gained a lot of momentum for his upcoming DDT Extreme Title match against Akito. Takao pinned the champion in a tag team match and afterwards looked like he was going to steal his belt. Instead Takao placed it on Akito’s defeated body.

Shigehiro Irie did quick work to win the 3 Way Match. Very quick work actually. He submitted DJ Nira with a Chinlock before Yukio Sakaguchi could even enter the ring. Amon Tsurumi said felt the result was not a good way to commemorate Sakaguchi becoming fully affiliated with DDT so he ordered the match to restart. Irie then submitted Nira again even faster than the first time. The match restarted again and both Irie and Nira wrestled away from ringside with Sakaguchi chasing after them. They eventually returned on a pallet truck that was wheeled down to the ring. Nira hit Sakaguchi with the Rocket Punch and taunted him until Irie snuck up and submitted Nira one more time.

For their last match as a unit, Pigging promised to wrestle fair and square in the opening match. They then ambushed Happy Motel before the bell rang. The plan didn’t work and Michael Nakazawa was pinned by Konosuke Takeshita. After the match Gota Ihashi told Amon Tsurumi that they lost because the other team had great luck so Pigging will not disband. Tsurumi was against the idea but asked if Nakazawa and Tomomitsu Matsunaga really wanted the unit to continue. Matsunaga laughed and said he it was a good unit apart from everybody in it. They all agreed to disband Pigging.

The Smile Squash produced Korakuen Hall show on 12th November will be called “I WANT TO SEE THE SMILES OF EVERYONE”. One of the matches planned is involves Tomomitsu Matsunaga taking up his DDT Sumo King role again.

As punishment for finishing dead last, Booing must now disband.

The results of this year’s DDT Dramatic General Election was announced to a full Shinjuku FACE crowd of 520 fans. Samurai! TV cameras followed the briefcase as it made its journey towards Shinjuku. Smile Squash won the Unit Election, narrowly beating Shuten-dōji by 9 votes. Team Drift weren’t that far behind either. Nira Federation, the one man unit led by DJ Nira somehow got more votes than Nira did in the singles portion of the election.

Kota Ibushi wins the DDT Election for the second time and he is now guaranteed a KO-D Title shot at Saitama Super Arena next year. Ibushi felt happy that the fans are not sick of seeing him because of his dual contract with DDT and New Japan. When asked what he will do with the cash prize, Ibushi simply said “Yamanote Line Wrestling”. He wants to travel through an entire loop of the Yamanote Line and wrestle somebody at every stop. Sanshiro Takagi said afterwards he’ll talk to Japan Railway about it.

Isami Kodaka finished in 2nd place, losing out to Ibushi by just 4 votes! It was the closest result ever for the contest and a much needed one since most of them have been won by landslides.
