Yuji Okabayashi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Argentine Backbreaker (8:33).
*Yuji Okabayashi wins Kazuki Hirata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

One of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts has been taken away from DDT again. This time it’s in the hands of its strongest wrestler yet, Yuji Okabayashi from Big Japan. Okabayashi defeated DDT’s contract holder Kazuki Hirata at a Big Japan show held today in Yokohama. Kazuki was overwhelmed by the power of his opponent and the results was no surprise. Yuji wasn’t quite sure what the rules of the contract was, but when it was explained to him he said he would like to challenge Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title someday.

DDT “DRAMATIC 2013 JUNE SPECIAL”, 02/06/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

0. Dark Match – Mask Contra Mask: M Samurai Vs M.Samurai
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Yuji Hino & Hoshitango

The Monster Army’s big guns are the first team to go after Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

A fake M Samurai is on the loose! Kazuki Hirata had his own custom made El Samurai mask when he joined the Samurai Sentai Samurai Rangers but it went missing and he had to wear a plastic bag with the mask drawn on it over his head ever since. The mask was last seen worn by Samurai TV! personality Miki Motoi but that is no guarantee she is the person Hirata will fight in the Mask Contra Mask dark match.

Union Vs Big Japan, Kazuki Hirata Injured

January 18, 2012

DDT “IN CHIBA 2012”, 22/01/2012
Chiba Port Arena

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
3. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takao Soma
4. Lottery Bonus Match! Angel Vs Devil Showdown!: DJ Nira Vs Jaki Numawzawa
5. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Shota
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki

Add another name to the injured list. Kazuki Hirata has suffered damage to his ACL and will miss the Chiba Port Arena show and it is not known how long he will be out of action for. Shota will replace him in the semi-main event.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS 2012”, 10/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mio Shirai Vs Sexxxy Eddy
2. Ken Ohka Vs El Generico
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka
4. BJW Tag Team Title: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kazuki Hashimoto & Takumi Tsukamoto

The main event for the Union 10/2 show in Shin-Kiba will be something for fans of Big Japan Wrestling to look forward to. Isami Kodaka has invited his tag team partner Yuko Miyamoto over to Union to defend their BJW Tag Team Championship against Kazuki Hashimoto & Takumi Tsukamoto. Isami is currently a double champion. He recently won the DDT Extreme Title and has held the BJW Tag Title with Miyamoto since May 2011.

The Union and Big Japan crossover does not stop there. Union announced that they will be hosting a joint show with Big Japan at Shinjuku FACE on 29th March. At the press conference where the news was announced, Ken Ohka said the Union Vs Big Japan rivalry will be a lot like the New Japan Pro Wrestling Vs UWF International feud from 1995. Meanwhile, Yuko Miyamoto said he wanted to have a DDT Extreme Title match with his friend Isami sometime in the future. There was also a mention of Cherry taking on a female Death Match Champion named Toka Kobayashi. Hmmm, that name sounds familiar…

The show will also have the debut match of New Sanshiro Takagi. The original Sanshiro Takagi has seen his workload for both DDT and Union in 2012 become too much to handle, so he has brought along Keizo Matsuda of IWA Japan to literally take his place in Union for the time being. This is not the first time Matsuda has portrayed a duplicate. He was formerly Fake HG in HUSTLE.

UNION “UNION PRO WRESTLING IN OSAKA”, 12/02/2012
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai Vs X & X
2. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda
3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Sexxxy Eddy

Union will hold its next show two days later and will feature Isami Kodaka defending the DDT Extreme Championship in the main event. His opponent is Canada’s answer for Glenn Quagmire, Sexxxy Eddy in a rematch from their Sexy Diva bout from August 2011.

DDT And Union In NEVER Tournament

March 5, 2011

Looks like Ken Ohka’s begging paid off. The NEVER brand from New Japan Pro Wrestling will be hosting a 16-Man Tournament on the 7th & 8th of April. Both DDT and Union will be represented in the tournament. DDT will enter Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata, both of whom have already wrestled in NEVER. Union will have Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga representing them. Other wrestlers involved here who also regularly appear in DDT and Union include Daisuke Sasaki, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi and Madoka. We are not far away from the annual Best Of The Super Juniors tournament and a great, breakout performance by any of these wrestlers could potentially pave the way for an invitation to take part in the competition.

The Battle Royal saw Danshoku Dino, Tigers Mask and surprisingly Kazuki Hirata as the final three wrestlers in the ring. Hirata was hung upside down on the turnbuckles by the other two and ignored for the rest of the match. Tigers Mask injured his knee and Dino injured his arm and they eventually had each other in submission holds targeting their vulnerable limbs. They both gave up and the match was rewarded to Hirata, who was still upside down.
