Hiroshima Industrial Hall

3. KO-D Tag Team Title: KUDO & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Yuji Hino & Yasu Urano

The former champions get their rematch. Crying Wolf is going through a rough period that saw Yuji Hino losing both the KO-D Openweight Title and with Yasu Urano the KO-D Tag Team Title. They have been granted a rematch against the Homoiro Clover Z duo of KUDO & Makoto Oishi with the belts on the line.

Speaking of Crying Wolf, they are now down one man with the announcement that Keita Yano is no longer affiliated with DDT. After the cross promoted DDT and WALLABY show took place on Sunday, DDT and Yano had a discussion about their ideas about pro wrestling. Due to the differences in opinion, it was decided that Yano’s contract would be cancelled as of today.

WALLABY X DDT Results

July 1, 2012

WALLABY X DDT, 01/07/2012
Saitama Cerberus Dojo

1. JOM Vs Shigehiro Irie ended in a Double Countout (6:00).
2. Hero Amon Vs Takao Soma ended in a No Contest (2:54).
3. Michael Nakazawa defeated Survival Tobita by Disqualification when Tobita used an electric massager on Nakazawa (8:24).
4. Keita Yano, Batten Tamagawa & Naoshi Sano defeated HARASHIMA, Masa Takanashi & Gota Ihashi when Sano pinned Takanashi with a Brainbuster (20:45).

The joint show between DDT and WALLABY took place thanks to Keita Yano. He cashed in his “Performance Rights Anytime, Anywhere” to make the show happen. Due to how small the building was, every match on the show took place on a mat with traffic cones acting as corner posts.

The main event saw the WALLABY team defeat the DDT team in an upset when Naoshi Sano pinned Masa Takanashi. Gota Ihashi and Keita Yano kept fighting after the bell but both sides eventually calmed down and shook hands. Then someone from the WALLABY roster ran in dressed as Atsushi Onita and soaked Yano with bottles of water.

Survival Tobita cost himself a victory over Michael Nakazawa when he used an electric massager on Nakazawa’s crotch while applying a Figure Four Leg Lock.

Hero Amon has quit the nWJ. He revealed he originally joined the group to spy on them for the LWO. I don’t know what the L stands for but the WO means “Wallaby Order”. Amon’s match with nWJ member Takao Soma ended in a pull apart when Soma would not stop pummelling the hell out of Amon in the audience.

KUDO was originally supposed to face JOM in the first match but had to pull out of the show due to injury. Shigehiro Irie took his place.

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.
