UNION “UNION HARVEST FESTIVAL 2015”, 15/09/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Ryu Gouma (w/ Kazuhiko Ogasawara)
2. Mitomi Masayuki & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Madoka & Ayumu Honda
3. Mio Shirai Last Union Match: Mio Shirai & Ladybeard Vs GENTARO & X
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – Three Match Special Rules: Aoi Kizuki (c) Vs Cherry
5. 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato, Yusuke Kubo & Masato Shibata Vs FUMA, MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT
6. Last Man Standing Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi

Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi is now a Last Man Standing match. This is the kind of pro wrestling where friends who care for one another beat the crap out of each other to prove it.

The Fly To Everywhere Title match between Aoi Kizuki and Cherry will be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls with each fall having a special rule. The first fall is a 3 Way Match with Miyako Matsumoto also included. Whoever beats Matsumoto first will win the fall. The 2nd fall is a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match with A.YAZAWA as the special guest referee. If needed, the 3rd and final fall will be a Total 3 Count match. The best I can describe the rule is if you pin your opponent for a two count then your next pin only needs a one count to win. If you pin and get a one count then the next pin needs a two count to win. I’m not entirely sure if three one counts is enough to win or if the amount needed is only based on the previous pin. But the intention here is pinning the opponent for three seconds in total just not necessarily in a row.

This will be Mio Shirai’s final match in Union before she retires on 20th September. Shirai has chosen Kyoko Kimura to be GENTARO’s partner in the match.

Ryu Gouma has admitted defeat in his quest to learn Karate in order to beat Hiroshi Fukuda’s Judo. This last match is not Judo Vs Karate, but American Vs Lawyer.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BAD COMMUNICATION 2015”, 23/09/2015
Shinjuku FACE

1. Animal Planet Special 3 Way Match: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Neko Nitta Vs Kris Wolf

6. Texas Tornado Hardcore Special Handicap Match: Ken Ohka, GENTARO, Shota & Bambi Vs Minoru Fujita, Hi69 & Osamu Namiguchi

Minoru Fujita demanded that the main event will be a Hardcore Match. He also mocked Ganbare☆Wrestling by saying they should worry about Tokyo Joshi Pro outdrawing them in the same building on the same date. Ken Ohka said his team will beat Fujita’s team and they will rehabilitate Fujita out of his bad attitude.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is bringing in a surprise name for this show. The “Real Tiger Mask” Shuichiro Katsumura will wrestle in Ganpuro to help turn it into a major sports company. He will team with Hayato Mashita who was his first opponent in his debut pro wrestling match.

Yumehito Imanari was told that his design of Ganpuro’s new logo plagiarises the logo of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. Imanari still denies the claim and even went as far as to print up T-shrts of the new logo to sell at the show. It is too late for Ganpuro to cancel the order so they have no other choice but to sell the shirts once they arrive.

Ken Ohka has wished Kana good luck on her move to WWE. Kana wrestled a match in Ganpuro back in February. She has inspired Ohka to give back to wrestling and for Ganpuro to do its best in Japan while she does the same in America.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? ~DDT DRAMATIC GENERAL ELECTION 2015~”, 27/09/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
1. Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata
3. KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Fukuda

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Ken Ohka
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Daisuke Sasaki was nominated as the No. 1 Contender by Yukio Sakaguchi himself. With the Vietnam Driver II in his arsenal, Sasaki now thinks he is Earth’s Strongest Man. Sakaguchi may knee that thought straight out of Sasaki’s head.

#OhkaEmpire have impressed and annoyed Team Drift enough to get a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles shot. Danshoku Dino pinned both Keisuke Ishii and Soma Takao yesterday while Ken Ohka is constantly standing up to Shigehiro Irie despite coming off the worse for wear in every encounter. The one wild card is Super Sasadango Machine. He had a secret plan yesterday that he was unable to use because he was quickly eliminated. The upcoming rematch gives him another chance to use it if he wishes.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 10”, 08/02/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Let’s Go!! Bedscene!!: Yoshihiro Horaguchi & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Osamu Namiguchi & Tiger Bedscene when Tominaga pinned Bedscene with a Cradle (14:20).
2. Confrontation Of A Dream! Gundan Vs Gundan ~TOP OF THE SUPER ARMY~: Gundan Hitori defeated Ishihara Gundan Man by Pinfall (10:59).
3. Karate Vs Karate Chop Part 2: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari defeated Kazuhiko Ogasawara & Karate Zebra when Imanari submitted Zebra with a Half Crab (10:20).
4. URRC Vs Erokawa Principle ~No Calories Recording Diet Super Fight~: Kana defeated Angela Ami with the Kana Lock (10:00).
5. The Participation Story EPISODE 3 – Moment, Heart, Repeatedly ~ Both Of You, Dance Like You Want To Win!: Ken Ohka & Yukihiro Abe defeated Shota & Tomoya Kawamura when Ohka pinned Kawamura with the Spear Of Flame (17:53).

Ken Ohka got a small measure of revenge on Shota by getting the victory in the main event. Shota & Tomoya Kawamura attacked Ohka & Yukihiro Abe before the match began and they brawled around the audience. Ohka pinned Kawamura with the Spear Of Flame and challenged Shota to a one-on-one match for 22nd March. Shota accepted and said he will prove he has exceeded Ohka. Ohka promised he will take Shota to the limit.

Angela Ami was back in action to represent Yumehito Imanari’s bizarre URRC project. Ami was introduced as a Cruiserweight weighing in at “62 kg” which got a funny response from the fans. Her opponent today was Kana who entered the ring wearing similar Angela Aki glasses. Despite a good showing from Ami, Kana submitted her with the Crossface Chickenwing. Imanari was upset to see Ami lose and apologised for putting her on a diet that did not work. But he still has hope and came up with a new idea. He announced that Ami is going to get her very own modelling DVD!

K-DOJO wrestler Kotaro Yoshino was in the corner of Yoshihiro Horaguchi & Shinichiro Tominaga for the opening match. Yoshino got into a fight with Osamu Namiguchi afterwards so Ohka made Namiguchi & Tiger Bedscene Vs Horaguchi & Yoshino for 22nd March.

Ishihara Gundan Man was revealed to be Atsushi Maruyama. He tearfully explained that he had a friend in elementary school named Ishihara but he never knew where he went when they graduated from high school. So he became Ishihara Gundan Man as a tribute to his friend. Gundan Hitori was so upset by the story he also took off his mask and hugged Maruyama. They both declared they will never return to Ganpuro.


Ayumi Kurihara Wins Iron Man Title!

May 1, 2012

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changed hands over in Pro Wrestling WAVE yesterday when Kana lost the title to Ayumi Kurihara. The match was only advertised as a Catch The WAVE league contest but as champion, Kana was officially defending the Iron Man Title and DDT acknowledges the title change. Ayumi won the match with her Modified Uranage Suplex and is now the 905th champion. However, the title belt itself is currently located in DDT’s headquarters. The belt will be handed over to Ayumi (or whoever the champion will be at that point) on 6th May.


Omega Out Of HP, Ibushi & Co Join Kana

December 16, 2010

Kenny Omega suffered a dislocated ankle while training during the week. The injury will put him off this weekend’s big Ring Of Honor iPPV event and may also remove him from the last DDT show of the year on 26th December. He and Kota Ibushi are supposed to defend the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles against Jado & Gedo on that show. The match might have to be delayed until 2011 to allow Omega to properly recover. This means he may also have to miss wrestling at the Tokyo Dome for New Japan on 4th January aswell.

I don’t follow that much of the joshi scene but I do know there is a split of opinion when it comes to the wrestler Kana. Some joshi enthusiasts are fans of her only because they fancy the woman. Others criticise her for wrestling a wreckless Bati style and having little regard for the safety of her opponents in matches, among other things. I’m not ashamed to admit I am part of the former. Hey, I’m a sucker for an Asian girl with short hair and a cute face.

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because the lovely Kana will be holding her next produce show in January and it will have some DDT and Union alumni involved. Kota Ibushi and Hikaru Sato are no slouches when it comes to the Bati Bati style of fighting which I am sure the show will be built around while Isami Kodaka will take part in another Hardcore match. He’s used to them by now. At least he should be.
