Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi (c) defeated Antonio Honda.

*Ultraman Robin becomes the 866th champion.
6. TLC Match – DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated El Samurai with the Chair-Assisted Double Knee Drop from the top of the Ladder (12:33).
*V3 for Kodaka.
Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi defeated Ultraman Robin (c) with the Fireball Bomb (7:00 pm).
*Tsuyoshi Kikuchi becomes the 867th champion.
Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Antonio Honda defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi (c) with a Backslide Pin (7:10 pm).
*Antonio Honda becomes the 868th champion.

Isami Kodaka defended the DDT Extreme Title against his most experienced challenger to date, El Samurai. This time the title was defended in a proper TLC match with Kodaka climbing to the top of the ladder with a steel chair and leaping off, delivering a Double Knee Drop over the chair and onto El Samurai for the win.

The battle over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title crossed over to Union when the DDT show ended. During the evening Tsuyoshi Kikuchi constantly thwarted Antonio Honda’s attempts at winning the title from him. It wasn’t until the semi-main event when someone was finally able to beat Kikuchi. That person was Ultraman Robin, who brought along his sidekick Giant Robin to defeat the TKG48 pair of Kikuchi & Sanshiro Takagi. Kikuchi won the title back at the end of the night, only for Antonio Honda to finally catch the champ off guard and become champion again.

Ken Ohka’s problems with Mio Shirai continue with Ohka once again left embarrased by the Triple Tails girl. Shirai defeated Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock, a move she has used to get rid of Ohka time and time again. Even worse for Ken, Shirai won the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title from him in his first defence. And just when Ohka thought it couldn’t get even more embarrassing, Mio handed Ohka a new ‘belt’ he had to wear, a dog collar. Needless to say, Mio is now calling herself Ken Ohka’s master.

Match #3 is said to be Hiro Tsumaki’s best performance to date, particularly his moments in the ring with Toru Sugiura.

Big Morohashi was nominated for the Anal Blast Opening Ceremony election for Sumo Hall. Naomi Susan is enthusiastic in her support for Morohashi in the election.

1a. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi defeated Daisuke Sasaki (c) with a School Boy (1:13 pm).

2. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine defeated MIKAMI & Michael Nakazawa when Machine pinned Nakazawa with a Diving Headbutt to the anus (9:54).
3. Mr. #6 defeated DJ Nira with a Rolling Neck Lock (8:40).
4. Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Sato submitted Akito with the Cross Armbreaker (13:20).
5. Umemura Personal Computer School Offer Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Masa Takanashi with the Bob Killer (8:13).
6. HARASHIMA, HERO! & Shigehiro Irie defeated GENTARO, Yasu Urano & Keisuke Ishii when HARASHIMA pinned Ishii after the Somato Of Friendship (15:19).
7. KUDO & Kota Ibushi defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Big Morohashi when KUDO pinned Morohashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (17:40).

KUDO has struck a blow back towards Shuji Ishikawa as the build up to their Sumo Hall main event match continues. Today in Nagoya, KUDO teamed with Kota Ibushi to defeat Ishikawa & Big Morohashi. Although KUDO wasn’t able to avenge his pinfall loss to Shuji from their last tag battle, he will settle for just winning the match for the moment. At the end of the show KUDO said that when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title he will lead the new era of DDT.

Danshoku Dino found a new move which he hopes to defeat Bob Sapp with at Sumo Hall. Not sure what the Bob Killer is yet but going by the name it could be the Dick Killer submission move used by TAKA Michinoku.

Hikaru Sato was so impressed by Akito’s performance in Match #4 that he decided to include him as the fifth member of his team for the 5 Vs 5 Elimination match at Sumo Hall.

A sudden crisis has occurred for Michael Nakazawa and his anus. The Super Strong Machine’s Diving Headbutt badly injured Nakazawa’s backside in their match. The injury is so severe it could prevent Nakazawa from participating in the Sumo Hall Anal Blast opening ceremony if he does not recover in time.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changed hands twice on this show and had an even busier day afterwards. With some help from the ropes, Daisuke Sasaki pinned Antonio Honda to win the title, only for Tsuyoshi Kikuchi to roll Sasaki onto his shoulders immediately afterwards. For the rest of the day Antonio Honda tried to sneak attack Kikuchi and win the title back. But each and every time Kikuchi was able to escape or even beat Honda, scoring some rare defences of the belt. Meanwhile Mr. #6 announced that he will be a part of the Sumo Hall Battle Royal where the title will be at stake.

6. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs El Samurai

Ultraman Robin tried to be coy when he gave information about his tag partner Giant Robin, but his clues ended up revealing his identity right away. Giant Robin’s height and weight are written down as unknown but his date of birth is 25th September, 1975 and he is also nicknamed “Dynamite Ishikawa”. So this means Giant Robin will be Shuji Ishikawa.

Luscious Latasha is an 8 year veteran and has been recently wrestling in Japan for the REINA promotion.

UNION “UNION DRAGONS OF SUMMER IN NAGOYA 2011”, 10/07/2011
Kanayama Asunal Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs El Samurai

This is a surprise. No one would have guessed that Isami Kodaka’s next DDT Extreme Title defence would be against El Samurai!

One last note, for a while I have been getting Keita Yano’s name wrong. I have mistakenly been calling him Yano K Data all this time, thinking this was a seperate gimmick he only used in Union. Turns out he goes pretty much everywhere dressed as a cross between Doink The Clown and The Joker. The Google Translate site has recently improved its results for translating Japanese into English and vice versa, so now the kanji for his name correctly comes up as Keita Yano instead of Yano K Data. So I’m going to go back through the posts and make the corrections to his name.

Hidaka Building Materials Co.

1. 5 Way: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Kota Ibushi Vs Mitsuhiro Yoshida Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Jun Kasai

Jun Kasai is the big name added to the second “CHARITY WRESTLING SERIES ON THE ROAD” show. While he showed up in Union back in May, Kasai’s last DDT appearance took place at last year’s Sumo Hall show where Sanshiro Takagi literally flushed him down a toilet during the dark match.

The new KO-D Tag Team Champions just need to get past Emi Sakura & Masa Takanashi to defend the titles at Sumo Hall. Can HARASHIMA & HERO! do what the two previous champions could not and win their first title defence?

Not sure what kind of match the Committee Meeting will create. It could be a 6-Man Tag, it could be a Battle Royal or it even could be a Handicap match of some sort.

The Dark Match will have Sanshiro Takagi take on either Yoshiaki Yago, Madoka, Tomomitsu Matsunaga or Super Shit Machine. The choice will be up to Yago on the night.

The Umemura Personal Computer School Offer Match returns with Danshoku Dino facing Kenny Omega. Dino defeated Omega’s BFF Kota Ibushi back in December. Can he make it two for two against the Golden Lovers? Speaking of Ibushi, he will be teaming with HARASHIMA and the junior Jr. Heavyweight Mr. #6 to take on the rotten Shit Heart ♥ Foundation.

UNION “NEW YEAR DRAGONS”, 16/01/2011

When DDT is finished, Union will step in for their show with Shuji Ishikawa and Shigehiro Irie squaring off in the main event. Irie pinned Ishikawa in the main event of Union’s 3rd December show and is confident he will do it again. Matches #3 and #4 features talent from the Spotiva Entertainment promotion. Yasu Kubota & Hide Kubota have wrestled in DDT in the past. Nori da Funky Shibire-sasu meanwhile is a part time wrestler who is also member of the Hip Hop group nobodyknows+. The two teams for match #3 will be decided by a lottery on the day of the show. It may even lead to the men teaming up to fight the women. Looks like Shinichiro Tominaga is going to be facing a lot of well known names in the near future. Before he goes to wrestle Tigers Mask next month he’ll have to face El Samurai in Nagoya. The opener will be Union Vs New Beijing and yes, the lovely Princess Makoto will be in the corner of the Beijing boys.


DDT Schedule For January

December 30, 2010

DDT “DOTONBORI STORY 8”, 09/01/2011
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. New Year Lottery Battle Royal: Contestants So Far – Hideki Shiota
2. Shoichi Uchida Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. GENTARO & Yasu Urano Vs MIKAMI & Yukihiro Abe
4. HARASHIMA Vs Tanomusaku Toba
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs KUDO & MIYAWAKI
6. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
7. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hikaru Sato Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga

Looks like Hikaru Sato has been kicked out of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. The group was taken over by Takao Soma when he turned heel at “NON-FIX 12.1“. Danshoku Dino will be trying to make his own version of the MEN’s Club work by teaming with Makoto Oishi again. Last time round Oishi wasn’t so positive about the idea. It’s been a while since I’ve seen MIYAWAKI wrestle. Will the scream of “Death Penalty” be echoed in the Move On Arena?

DDT “NEW YEAR SUPER DODON WAVE! IN NAGOYA 2011”, 16/01/2011
Kanayama Asunal Hall

1. Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA & Mr. #6 Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
2. Umemura Personal Computer School Offer Match: Kenny Omega Vs Danshoku Dino
3. KO-D Tag Team Title: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs MIKAMI & Onryo

The dark spirit Onryo of FMW fame popped into DDT a couple of days ago to team with MIKAMI. Now they have a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Champions Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki, aka FROM THE NORTHERN COUNTRY. Maybe MIKAMI will turn into something like Onryo to help them win the belts. You can bet Mr. #6 hasn’t forgotten about the time when the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation won the Trios Triple Crown from him a few months back. Hell hath no fury like an 8 year old scorned.
