Kenny Omega believes that when the Golden Lovers formed and won the KO-D Tag Team Titles in 2009 they were the best team in DDT. In 2010 they became legendary and he thinks they are still the best tag team not just in DDT but in the world. He acknowledged how popular Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto are but thinks they are not in the same league as himself and Ibushi.

Isami & Masa’s Trip To Russia

October 29, 2013

IWF “Реслиады”, 26/10/2013
Moscow Mossovet Theatre
700 Fans

3. Ilya Malkin defeated Masa Takanashi with the Harpoon.
6. IWF Title: Ivan Markov (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the Locobomb.
*V? for Ivan Markov

Isami Kodaka and Masa Takanashi were in Russia during the weekend wrestling for the Independent Wrestling Federation. While Takanashi was facing different members of the roster, Kodaka was right in the thick of it with the IWF Champion, Ivan Markov. On Night 1 the two faced each other with the title on the line. The match was turned into a Hardcore match by request of Markov after both of them brought in chairs. Despite making Markov bleed heavily with a broken seat piece, Kodaka eventually lost to the champion. After the match, Ronnie Crimson ran into the ring to attack Markov but Kodaka came to the rescue and ran Crimson away.

IWF “Реслиады”, 27/10/2013
Nizhny Novgorod GAZ Culture Center
250 Fans

5. Masa Takanashi defeated Sergey Beliy by Pinfall.
8. 3 Way Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Ivan Markov and Ronnie Crimson when Kodaka pinned Crimson with the Isamu Leg.

A 3 Way Match between Markov, Crimson and Kodaka was set up for the next night. Kodaka used the numbers game to his advantage, waiting for Crimson to take out Markov and then jumping in to pin Crimson with the Isamu Leg.

Thanks go out to @IamCorvaX for sending me the results.

fukumen-fukuda

UNION “HARVEST FESTIVAL 2013”, 23/09/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
298 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT with the Pratfall Missile Kick (7:35).
2. Gabaiji-chan defeated Choun-Shiryu with the Gabai Special (7:32).
3. Idea Pocket Presents: Menso~re Oyaji Vs Mitomi Masayuki ended in a Double Pin Draw (5:37).
4. HAYATA & Nazo Fukumen B defeated FUMA & Kaori Yoneyama by DQ when FUMA unmasked Fukumen B (9:06).
5. Cherry! Road To Young Boy!: Keizo Matsuda defeated Cherry with the Ghostbuster (10:11).
6. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Isami Kodaka, Seiya Morohashi & Madoka defeated Nazo Fukumen P, Nazo Fukumen K & Nazo Fukumen KJ (22:12).
6a. Nazo Fukumen P eliminated Seiya Morohashi with a Gedo Clutch (13:00).
6b. Madoka eliminated Nazo Fukumen KJ by Ring Out (17:55).
6c. Isami Kodaka eliminated Nazo Fukumen K by Ring Out (18:00).
6d. Nazo Fukumen P eliminated Madoka by Ring Out (20:05).
6e. Isami Kodaka eliminated Nazo Fukumen P with the Zan Isamu Leg (22:12).

Union has won the war against the Nazo Fukumen! After many months they were able to defeat the mystery masked men once and for all in a Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Elimination match. The Fukumen were led by Nazo Fukumen KJ, who wore goggles and a bandana over his mask like a certain “Crazy Monkey” would. The Fukumen drew first blood by eliminating Seiya Morohashi. KJ did the damage with the Pearl Harbor Splash and Nazo Fukumen P easily pinned Morohashi with a Gedo Clutch. Union turned things around when Isami Kodaka & Madoka eliminated KJ & Nazo Fukumen K one after the other. All alone in the ring, Fukumen P unmasked to reveal himself as Hiroshi Fukuda! He had some luck in evening the odds when Kodaka accidentaly eliminated Madoka from the match. Fukuda gave Kodaka the Perfect Plex but that was not enough. Kodaka recovered and struck Fukuda with move after move until he finally pinned him with the Zan Isamu Leg.

After the match Fukuda explained he joined the Nazo Fukumen in order to wrestle in main events against his friends. He apologised to the fans and to Nazo Fukumen Queen. The Queen suggested that he could join Union again. Naomi Susan agreed and made the offer to Fukuda, which he accepted. Susan also said that Mio Shirai was allowed back in Union. Nazo Fukumen B happliy unmasked, revealing herself to be Mio and she hugged Susan.

A tournament will be held on Union’s 8th Anniversary show in Shinjuku FACE on 23rd October. The 1st Round draw was held inside the ring after the main event. The matches will be SAGAT Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Daichi Kazato Vs FUMA, Isami Kodaka Vs Cherry and Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Seiya Morohashi.

Cherry Vs Keizo Matsuda begun with some flirting between the two but it turned out to be a sneak attack by Cherry. She continued to play around with her opponent but Matsuda eventually caught up to her and proved to be too strong. Cherry offered a handshake after the match but that too turned out to be a trap. She kicked him between the legs instead.

Before the Idea Pocket match began, Mitomi Masayuki noted that as an elite college graduate, he was not able to spend much of his educational years with women due to having no money. He and Menso~re Oyaji agreed to share Rika Seibi and Tsubasa Amami rather than fight over them. Mio Shirai claims the two Divas still work for her and she rejected their plan. She even interfered in the match causing it to end in a double pin draw. Naomi Susan stepped in and booked a 3 Way Match for the next Union show to solve the problem. Afterwards Masayuki approached each of the Divas only to be slapped by both of them. He was also slapped by the Idea Pocket producer who accompanied the Divas.

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013” Results

February 13, 2013

kodaka-kengo

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
251 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang when Fukuda pinned Zhang after hitting him with a medal (8:35).
2. Seiya Morohashi defeated Goro Jr. (w/ El Hijo del Goro) with the Crippler Crossface (8:38).
3. Winner Names & Designs New Championship: Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry & Mio Shirai when Yoneyama pinned Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (10:09).
4. Loser Withdraws From Union: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ken Ohka (w/ Mio Shirai) with the Kneel Kick (9:45).
*Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai are kind of forced to withdraw from Union.
5. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma and Daichi Kazato & SAGAT (11:09).
5a. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Wild Cat pinned Kazato (6:57).
5b. Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA eliminated Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma when Ishikawa pinned Soma with the Giant Clutch (8:33).
5c. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA when Wild Cat pinned FUMA (11:09).
6. Kengo Ohka defeated Isami Kodaka with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:53).

Kengo Ohka thanked Isami Kodaka for their match in the main event and told him he will remember it fondly. This may be Kengo’s last match in Union for a while and he might go back to wrestling as Kengo Mashimo the next time he wrestles here.

Seiya Morohashi has been nominated to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. Negotiations have begun to make Morohashi Vs Kenny Omega for the title happen sometime in the near future.

Ken Ohka and Keisuke Ishii fought each other with a lot on the line. If Ohka won, Ishii and the rest of Drift would be forced to leave Union. But if Ishii won, Ohka and Mio Shirai would have to do the same. Shirai did not want to have to rely on Ohka for her future in Union but eventually cheered for her “pet” to win. Ohka took down Ishii with the Spear Of Fire but Ishii recovered and was just too much for Ohka to handle. The Kneel Kick ended the match but Ishii decided to throw out the stipulation. Drift’s war with Union was exhausting him and he felt there was nothing to gain if all he did was beat up Ohka over and over. So Drift announced they are withdrawing from Union after today.

Naomi Susan was relieved the stipulation was gone and that Ohka and Mio could stay. However, Ohka now believed Union was too small for a “Messiah” like him and there are plenty of big name promotions he could now work for. Mio slapped some sense into Ohka and he eventually admitted he wants to stay in Union. But his mind was made up. He and Shirai would keep his word and leave Union.

However, Ohka and Shirai would make their presence felt again at the end of the show. Two masked figures interrupted the post show speeches by kidnapping Jun Kasai and holding him hostage under the threat of stabbings with a ball-point pen. The masked man and women demanded to be booked for a match at Union’s next show in Yokohama on 10th March. Naomi Susan easily recognised who the duo was and happily accepted their demand. She actually felt relieved that Ohka and Shirai quickly found a way to get back into Union.

Kaori Yoneyama won the right to name and design Union’s new championship. She hopes to have it finished in time for Union’s next show and promises to become the first champion.

SAGAT is now signed as a full time Union wrestler. He has been a part timer for the brand for almost a year. SAGAT is from Iruma, Saitama and was born on 26th July, 1990. He is 168cm high and weighs 100kg. His signature moves are the Gore Grind, the Belly To Belly Suplex and the Sole Butt.

Union’s other new rookie Mitomi Masayuki will have his first match for the brand in Yokohama on 10/3.

The lovely Princess Makoto did not accompany Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang for their match against Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai. Rumour has it she (literally) jumped ship from New Beijing Pro Wrestling to another Chinese promotion called Wrestling New Dynasty.

Loser Leaves Union, Who Will Design New Championship, America Vs China

February 1, 2013

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Seiya Morohashi Vs Goro Jr.
3. Cherry & Mio Shirai Vs Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama
4. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA Vs Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat Vs Daichi Kazato & SAGAT
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka
6. Ken Ohka Vs Keisuke Ishii

The one thing Keisuke Ishii has learned ever since he began wrestling in Union is that Ken Ohka is weak. He has fought against strong wrestlers but this is the first match Ishii knows he is by far the stronger wrestler. Ohka criticised Ishii for taking the match lightly and explained Ishii’s DDT Extreme Title reign was so short because he was not prepared enough. Ohka threw out a stipulation to show how serious he is. If Ishii wins, Ohka will resign from Union. But if Ohka wins, Team Dream Futures will withdraw from Union and leave them alone. Ishii accepted the conditions and guaranteed his victory. Mio Shirai suprisingly gave Ohka words of encouragement and told him never to give up.

Isami Kodaka is said to be enthusiastic he is facing Kengo Ohka one on one. They have wrestled each other before in a place where Ohka is better known as Kengo Mashimo and Kodaka wants to show how much he has improved since then.

Cherry once again had another major announcement to make. Except this time, it actually was pretty important. Cherry demanded that Union should create a championship for women and as the female face of Union she should be allowed to name and design the belt. Mio Shirai stepped in and said she should name and design the belt, since she finished ahead of Cherry in the DDT48 General Election and thus became Union’s top female wrestler. All the talk about championships attracted the attention of Kaori Yoneyama and if anyone knows about championships, it’s her. Naomi Susan settled the argument by booking a tag team match between Cherry & Shirai against Yoneyama & Masako Takanashi. Whoever wins the match will be given the rights to name and design the new championship.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai have sent out a challenge to New Beijing Pro Wrestling’s top tag team. Fukuda and Kasai have bonded over their love of all things American, even toilets. They agreed that even though traditional Japanese toilets are bad, China has even worse toilets because they don’t even have doors in their bathrooms. So Choun-Shiryu and Cao Zhang will travel over to Japan to defend the honour of their country… and their toilets.

Sweet Dreams, Send In The Tanks! Sato’s Long Awaited Rematch

January 25, 2013

kodaka-omega

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo & Daichi Kazato
2. Planning The New Year – 1 Vs 5 Handicap Match: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Michael Nakazawa, Hoshitango, Gota Ihashi, Batten Tamagawa & DJ Nira
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Hiro Tsumaki Vs MIKAMI, Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko
5. Kota Ibushi Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka (c)

Both Kenny Omega and Isami Kodaka had plenty of praise to give each other when they met to promote their KO-D Openweight & DDT Extreme Double Title match. Omega has a lot of respect for Kodaka due to his spirit and technique. As the DDT Extreme Champion, Kodaka was allowed to choose the stipulation for the match. He was tempted to make it a hardcore match so both men could do whatever they wanted in the ring. He decided to leave it as a normal match so if he beats Omega, it will prove without a doubt that he deservedly won the KO-D Championship. Kenny compared the match up to something like Street Fighter X Tekken or Capcom Vs SNK. He is 99% sure he can beat Kodaka but there is a chance a lucky punch will beat him. Kodaka said he has that punch but he acquired it from dedicated training instead of relying on luck.

The Monster Army have threatened to sell the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles if they win them and use the money to buy tanks! Antonio Honda explained that after he and his teammates win the belts, he will go wrestle in Vietnam and become famous. That will somehow increase the value of the belts to the point where they can afford tanks. Honda also warned Keisuke Ishii that at 27 years old, Ishii is at the stage of life when a person has the worst luck. Many many musicians have died at the age of 27 and Ishii could join them. Ishii pointed out that Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Hino are also 27 years old. Ishii’s 28th birthday will be around a week after the show and he promises he will still have the title when he celebrates it.

HARD HIT “YOUTH”, 24/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yasu Kubota Vs FUMA
2. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Asaki Honda
3. Super Shooter Kamen Rider Vs NOSAWA Rongai
4. HARASHIMA Vs Hayato Mashita
5. Hikaru Sato Vs Yuji Sakuragi

Hikaru Sato announced five fights for the upcoming Hard Hit show. He is currently negotiating with different MMA fighters in order to sign two more fights for the card. Sato will fight Yuji Sakuragi in a rematch from their Pancrase bout from 26th January, 2006. Sakuragi won that fight in only 55 seconds of the first round. Sato is a far more experienced fighter now.

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2013” Results

January 14, 2013

isami-extreme-union

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2013”, 14/01/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
260 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title – Texas Tiger Rope Philadelphia Banana Death Match: Jun Kasai defeated Hiroshi Fukuda (c) (w/ Rumi Kazama & Mame Endo) by eating enough bananas (9:38).
*V4 for Hiroshi Fukuda. Somehow.
2. Gabaiji-chan & SAGAT defeated Goro Jr. & El Hijo del Goro when Gabaiji-chan pinned Goro Jr. with the Choke Slam (12:11).
3. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Menso~re Oyaji defeated A.YAZAWA, Seiya Morohashi and Ryuichi Sekine when Oyaji pinned YAZAWA with the Sewing Feather (8:54).
4. Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto defeated Cherry & Masako Takanashi when Miyamoto pinned Cherry with the Fire Thunder (10:59).
5. Kengo Ohka defeated Hiro Tsumaki with the Shinken (13:21).
6. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Ken Ohka when Soma pinned Ohka with the Boma Ye (11:40).
7. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Keisuke Ishii (c) with the Zan Isamu Leg (18:25).
*Keisuke Ishii fails in V2. Isami Kodaka becomes the 21st DDT Extreme Champion!

The DDT Extreme Title is once again wrapped around the waist of Isami Kodaka. The main event of today’s Union show saw Kodama defeat the champion Keisuke Ishii in a rare traditional singles match for that belt. After Isami’s victory, Ken Ohka took the time to brag about Kodaka winning back the title, asking Ishii why he lost so easily as well as calling him a third-rate wrestler. Ohka then challenged Ishii to a match there and then but Naomi Susan decided to hold off that match until next month.

Jun Kasai defeated Hiroshi Fukuda in the Texas Tiger Rope Philadelphia Banana Death Match. However, he did not win the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title. According to Fukuda’s rulebook, the Union US Title can only change hands via pinfall or submission and Kasai won the match by eating a banana from all four corners of the ring. Later on, Kasai asked Fukuda what he thinks about America. Fukuda said he wants Japan to become a territory of the United States. When asked why, Fukuda said one of the pros will be bathrooms switching over from Japanese toilets to American toilets. Kasai joked that Keiji Muto has bad knees because of Japanese toilets. He was touched by Fukuda’s answer and since he is also a lover of liberty, Kasai agreed to help out Fukuda’s plan to Americanize the world!

Hiro Tsumaki requested a rematch with Kengo Ohka after he lost to him. Today was also Hiro’s last show wrestling under that name. He wants a new name for a new year. Tsumaki’s new name will be chosen from fan suggestions.

Ryuichi Sekine wrestled the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match while dressed as Ricky Fuji.

Union has a new rookie signing coming soon! Mitomi Masayuki is 170cm high and weighs 81kg. He has previously wrestled as Go Shiofuki and already made a couple of appearances in DDT under that name.

Ken Ohka set up a flea market outside Shin-Kiba 1st RING before the show. He was selling more than just DDT and Union merchandise, one of the items on sale was a Sega Saturn arcade stick.

UNION “THE DECEMBER UNION 2012” Results

December 24, 2012

december-union

UNION “THE DECEMBER UNION 2012”, 24/12/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
267 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Yasushi Sato defeated SAGAT with a Backslide Pin (4:18).
1. Ryuichi Sekine (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Mame Endo) with a High Kick (4:55).
2. Hida Kubota & Yasu Kubota defeated Goro Jr. & El Hijo del Goro when Hida Kubota pinned El Hijo del Goro with a Piledriver (5:24).
3. Reindeer Match: Ken Ohka defeated Mio Shirai when he took her reindeer hat (0:15).
3a. Mio Shirai defeated Ken Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock (3:26).
4. Menso~re Oyaji & Mr. #6 defeated Cherry & Gabaiji-chan when Mr. #6 pinned Cherry with a Cradle (10:19).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Seiya Morohashi, Hiro Tsumaki & Daichi Kazato when Ishii pinned Kazato with a Boston Crab (12:20).
6. Shuji Ishikawa & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

Union’s final show of the year ended with a 30 minute draw between four of its strongest wrestlers. At the beginning of the show it was announced that Keisuke Ishii will defend the DDT Extreme Title against Isami Kodaka on 14th January. The person who comes out as champion will then go to DDT and challenge Kenny Omega for the KO-D Openweight Title on 27th January.

Shuji Ishikawa will be in Big Japan the day before to face Abdullah Kobayashi a second time for the BJW Death Match Title.

Cherry had another important announcement today. This time she will begin learning English. Mio Shirai came down and called out Cherry for wasting everyone’s time by constantly announcing new hobbies. Masako Takanashi then appeared for the first time in a long time to talk about the LPGA. Somehow this leads to Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto being booked for 14th January.

Since it was Christmas, Hiroshi Fukuda was given a kiss on the cheek by both Rumi Kazama and Mame Endo. It was later announced that Fukuda will face Jun Kasai on 14/1. Fukuda hid under the ring when he found out about the match.

Ken Ohka finally scored a victory over Mio Shirai. However, it doesn’t sounds so great when you hear it was in a Reindeer Match where the first person to take off their opponent’s reindeer hat and shout “Gross!” wins. Ohka was able to do that in 15 seconds. The crowd booed the anti-climatic result and a rematch was immediately held under normal rules. This time around it was business as usual, Mio submitted Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock.

At the end of the show every member of the Union roster gave an end of year message. Naomi Susan thanked everyone for supporting Union. Ryu Gouma announced he wants to return to wrestling next year and he’ll do his best to be a dignified wrestling lawyer. Hiroshi Fukuda began a “USA!” chant and yelled “Love and peace! The war is over!” Rumi Kazama said she wanted to be Union’s top diva next year. Goro Jr. simply mumbled into the microphone. Ken Ohka said he was frustrated he lost so many matches but relied on the support of the Union fans. Mr. #6 said he wants to travel to the United States. Mio Shirai said she was No. 1 this year and will be the best next year. Hiro Tsumaki said he got a lot of solid training in Okinawa and now wants to win a championship. El Generico said he always wants to come back to Japan. Shuji Ishikawa said he will come back to Union with the BJW Death Match Title wrapped around his waist. Finally, Isami Kodaka finished the speech saying as the future ace of Union, he will help make the place fun, intense and spicy!

BJW/UNION “BIG JAPAN X UNION MAY OR MAY NOT BE AT WAR” Results

March 29, 2012

BJW/UNION “BIG JAPAN X UNION MAY OR MAY NOT BE AT WAR”, 29/03/2012
Shinjuku FACE
329 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Cherry & Great Kojika defeated Mio Shirai & Takumi Tsukamoto when Cherry pinned Shirai with the Cherryton Bomb (8:11).

4. Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Crab Hold (6:57).

6. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu when Ishikawa pinned Shinobu with the Splash Mountain (12:17).
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the Swivel Fire Thunder (15:12).
*Isami Kodaka fails in V2. Yuko Miyamoto becomes the 18th DDT Extreme Champion!

Union and Big Japan Wrestling may or may not be at war with each other but their relationship has gotten to the point where a DDT championship is now in the hands of Big Japan. Yuko Miyamoto defeated his long time friend Isami Kodaka to win the DDT Extreme Championship in the main event of Union and BJW’s cross-promoted show in Shinjuku FACE. Both men fought in a Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match, the first time such a match took place in the building. There were no hard feelings after the match, after all Miyamoto & Kodaka currently hold the BJW Tag Team Championship together. In fact, after the match Miyamoto kept on saying how much fun he had at the show and he asked Naomi Susan if Union and Big Japan could hold more joint shows in the future. Susan spoke to Big Japan rep Eiji Tosaka after the show and admitted she was frustrated to see Union lose a championship to Big Japan. However, she also thought the joint show was an interesting experiment.

BIG “G” BANG built some momentum going into their seperate championship bouts next month by defeating a tag team that featured the winner of Big Japan’s recent Ikkitousen tournament. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie continued their winning ways with a victory over Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu, a team that lives by the tagline “Good Friends, Better Enemies.” The action did not stop at the end when the bell rang and a brawl broke out between the two sides.

Look at the result for Match #5. Yes, you read that right. Ken Ohka won a Hardcore match against Big Japan death match wrestlers! It all happened when Kankuro Hoshino placed Ohka on top of a ladder and climbed up top for the Diving Senton. Ohka rolled out of the way and after Hoshino landed on top of the ladder, Ohka hit his patented Spear Of The Flame to get the three count. Ken now thinks that he and Kengo Ohka make for a natural tag team together.

If you think that Sanshiro Takagi does not appear in Union enough then the Sanshiro Takagi Battle Royal is just the match for you! There were not enough Sanshiro Takagi taking part in the Sanshiro Takagi Battle Royal, so one more Sanshiro Takagi was added to the line up. Big Buddy Sanshiro Takagi (Yuji Okabayashi) was the last Takagi standing, defeating the original Sanshiro Takagi and four other dopplegangers. The Secret Sanshiro Takagi was Mototsugu Shimizu. The Secret in that name stood for Secret Base, Shimizu’s home promotion.

Big Rude and Jaki Numazawa fought each other in an I Quit Match with a difference. Rather than forcing the opponent to say “I quit”, the aim of the match was for each wrestler to force his opponent to say their own sponsor’s name. Both Big Rude and Numazawa are spokesmen for seperate products and have sponsorships from the companies when they wrestle. Big Rude is sponsored by Svenson, a company that specialises in hair restoration products. Numazawa meanwhile is sponsored by Propia, who make shampoo, make up and, I’m not making this up, fake facial hair. Numazawa won the match when he placed Rude in a Camel Clutch and forced him to shout “Propia!”

The official show report on DDT’s website says the Great Kojika and Cherry “graced the opening match in the wisdom of age”. I bet Cherry will be offended when she reads that line.

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka defeated Taichi Kazato with a Boston Crab (8:17).
1. Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Rion Mizuki with a School Boy (7:30).
2. New Keizo Matsuda & Yoshiya Yamashita defeated New Sanshiro Takagi & Big Rude when Matsuda pinned Takagi with a Lariat (8:38).
3. If Cherry Loses, Her Real Age Becomes Public: Cherry defeated Mio Shirai with the Spring Night Love (7:34).
4. BEST OF THE SUPER Ohka: Kengo Ohka defeated Ken Ohka with the Shinken (17:14).
5. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Ishikawa pinned Sekine with the Splash Mountain onto the roses (19:39).

The 1,000 Roses Death Match contained many weapons that were covered in roses. They included a table, a ladder and two boards that were laid against opposite corners. Despite not sounding as dangerous as your typical death match, blood did flow from the wrestlers as they fought. After the match, Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka shook hands.

Cherry defeated Mio Shirai to prevent one of the greatest secrets in puroresu from being unveiled… her age. Cherry was forced to bring her passport to Shin-Kiba to use as proof of her age if she had to reveal it. The passport was kept in a safe backstage while Cherry fought the 24 year old Mio. When the match was over, the safe was given back to Cherry. But when she opened it, the passport was replaced by a hand written note. The note said “I have your passport. If you want it back, fight me. GAMI.” Cherry was upset that her passport was stolen. Not only is her age at risk from being made public, but Cherry now cannot travel overseas. She accepted GAMI’s challenge and thanked the fans for supporting her.

New Sanshiro Takagi and New Keizo Matsuda will face each other in a singles match at Union’s return to Korakuen Hall on 4th May. El Generico will also return on that show.

Hiroshi Fukuda’s promise to win his match with the Perfect Plex did not happen. He had to take a spray can from ringside and strike Rion Mizuki over the head with it and then roll him over with a School Boy to get his hand raised. Fukuda’s mentor Rumi Kazama was not pleased with his performance and she gave him a Buzzsaw Kick as punishment. Kazama stormed off backstage and left Fukuda crying in the ring.

Union’s relationship with New Beijing Pro Wrestling is coming back to life. Choun-Shiryu, Cao Zhang and Princess Makoto will all return on Union’s 8th April event in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
