3. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiro Tsumaki with the Isamu Leg (7:01).
4. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Cherry defeated Mio Shirai (c) with the Spring Night Love (5:24).
*Mio Shirai fails in V2. Cherry becomes the 6th Champion!
5. RG defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi by DQ when Kikuchi refused to let go of a Boston Crab (10:46).
6. Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara when Fukuda pinned Ohka with the Perfect Plex (11:04).
7. DDT Extreme Title Contendership – 3 Way: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Kengo Ohka when Takagi pinned Ishikawa with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (18:54).

Sanshiro Takagi now gets a match with El Generico for the DDT Extreme Championship at the “UNION 6TH ANNIVERSARY” show on 22nd November. As champion, El Generico gets to choose the stipulations for the match.

Mio Shirai began to cry after she lost the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title to Cherry. She was upset that without the title, she no longer had a reason to wrestle in Union anymore. Mio said she enjoyed wrestling in Union and then said goodbye to the fans.

However, later that night Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara with Fukuda getting his first pinfall victory in Union. After the match, Orihara began choking and stomping Ohka out of frustration. Mio returned to ringside to protect Ohka from Orihara. Right there, she found her reason to stay with Union. After all, Mio is still Ohka’s “Master” and only she gets to mistreat him. Orihara and Morohashi were not impressed and they challenged Ohka and Shirai to a tag match for the 6th Anniverary show.

Apparently Tsuyoshi Kikuchi originally beat RG with a Boston Crab but did not let go of the hold when the match ended, so the referee reversed the decision and disqualified him.

Before Match #3 could begin Hiro Tsumaki hit a Quebrada onto Isami Kodaka right before he was about to enter the ring. The two had a match that was described as a slugfest.

Yoshiaki Yago and Madoka did the DX entrance in nurse outfits for their match. The reason is because the Susan Guard had now disbanded and in its place would be a new group called the Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health. Yago, Madoka & Kengo Ohka declared that they will treat the sickness that exists in the wrestling world.

A bunch of names from Union’s past will show up for the 6th Anniversary show at Shinjuku FACE. They include Kazuhiko Ogasawara, A. YAZAWA, Mecha Mummy Lite, Poison Sawada, Sister Akiko, Takeshi Minamino, Ryu Gouma, Chou-un Shiryu and Apple Miyuki.

The main event for Cherry’s “FANTASY ILLUSION 5” at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 13th November was announced. Cherry better be ready for the fight of her life as she will take on Aja Kong!

4b. The Great Sasuke & Ricky Fuji defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) when Sasuke pinned Takagi with the Sasuke Special Segway 10.2 (3:29).
*Takagi & Sawa fail in V1. The Great Sasuke & Ricky Fuji become the 20th Champions.
5. European Rules – SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Ken Ohka defeated Ultraman Robin (c) with a Necklock (3rd Round – 0:18).
*Ultraman fails in V2. Ken Ohka becomes the 4th Champion.
6. Shuji Ishikawa & Hiro Tsumaki defeated KUDO & Keisuke Ishii when Ishikawa pinned KUDO with the Splash Mountain (18:55).

Shuji Ishikawa dealt a big blow to KUDO by pinning him in the main event. Ishikawa has not been threatened at all by his Ryogoku opponent and has cut down the challenger’s momentum with this win.

Ken Ohka got the upset win over Ultraman Robin to become the new SGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion. He will defend the title in one week’s time against Mio Shirai. There is no love lost between the two since that time Ohka tried to spy on Mio only to get caught and choked out by a Figure 4 Neck Lock.

Kyohei Wada was the referee for the Big China Tag Title match. The Great Sasuke celebrated the title win by saying “As long as everyone is alive, this belt with the long-winded name and panda will be forever immortal!” A rematch has been promised with Sanshiro Takagi asking Kyohei Wada to be the ref again.

It was announced that Union will be producing the first “BEER FIGHT 2011” show on 7th August. Sexxxy Eddy will appear on the show.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Dick Togo DDT Last Match: Dick Togo & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki

UNION “I’LL GET A LOT OF PEOPLE IN TOYAMA 2011”, 05/06/2011
Tomiyama Takaoka Ekuru

1. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Hiroya Fukuda
2. Seiya Morohashi & Hiroyo Matsumoto Vs Cherry & Hiro Tsumaki
3. Triple Threat: Isami Kodaka Vs El Generico Vs Cao Zhung (w/ Princess Makoto)
4. SS Susan Vs TKG48: Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Sanshiro Takagi, X & X
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Ken Ohka

On paper this sounds like a one-sided main event, and it probably will be. But you can’t fault Ken Ohka’s enthusiasm when facing against far more established wrestlers. There is a history of Ohka being jealous of Shuji Ishikawa being the ace of Union. Many end of show speeches in the ring have seen Ohka trying to blindside Shuji, only to be swatted away like a bug.

Sanshiro Takagi has promised to team with two “elite” members of the TKG48. Will we see some new additions to the supergroup?

El Generico returns to Union after his impressive victory over Shinichiro Tominaga at “1…2…3…UNION!” back in January. This time he sticks his head into the feud between Isami Kodaka and Cao Zhang for a Triple Threat match.

There will be one more match taking place on the show featuring DDT wrestlers. The participants will be announced soon.


A Union That Actually Works

March 8, 2011

Yesterday’s results have been updated to correct some mistakes I made due to misunderstanding the translation. Turns out there was more to the 1990s Foreigner Battle Royal than just five Stan Hansens.

The Challenge Right Fight +α Anytime and Anywhere Battle Royal (quite the mouthful there) that will take place in Korakuen Hall on the 27th March will feature at least three Union wrestlers. Who they are has not been announced.

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.


Ohka OK, Then Not OK

February 26, 2011

Ken Ohka knows how to keep himself busy when it comes to promoting for Union. He showed up at yesterday’s NEVER.5 show at New Japan to sell tickets for the upcoming DDT and Union shows. He approached an NJPW staff member and passionately begged him for New Japan to use some Union wrestlers for their future shows. He also talked to the person about Tsuyoshi Kikuchi’s campaign to enter this year’s Best Of The Super Juniors tournament. Meanwhile, DDT and Union affiliated wrestlers were part of the NEVER show. Kazuki Hirata, Shigehiro Irie and Daisuke Sasaki all lost their matches but Madoka grabbed a win in the semi-main event.

NEVER.5, 24/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
350 Fans

1. Hiromu Takahashi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Fisherman’s Suplex (6:48).
3. Tomoaki Honma defeated Shigehiro Irie with a Crab Hold (9:37).
4. Ryusuke Taguchi defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Dodon (13:28).
6. Madoka defeated Taichi with a Crucific Hold (9:44).

That isn’t all that Ohka has been up to. He acts as Yoshiaki Yago’s spokesman in SMASH, speaking for him outside of the shows and standing at ringside during his matches. In the lead up to SMASH.14, TAJIRI asked Yago to help him out in dealing with the Triple Tails joshi group of Kana, Mio Shirai & Io Shirai in a 2 On 3 Handicap match. Ohka got himself involved to make it an even Six-Person Tag. Well, that turned out to be a mistake as Ohka lost the match for his team after Kana kicked him full force in the unmentionables and rolled him up for the pin.

SMASH.14, 25/02/2011

Kana, Mio Shirai & Io Shirai defeated TAJIRI, Yoshiaki Yago & Ken Ohka when Kana pinned Ohka with an Inside Cradle (8:47).


Awww, Ain’t That Sweet

February 21, 2011

A cute little story that took place during Valentine’s Day last week. The custom in Japan on Valentine’s Day is for women to give gifts such as chocolate to men. The girls from Ice Ribbon took part and all gave out Valentine’s Day chocolates to some of their favourite male wrestlers. Among the recipients of the chocolates were HARASHIMA who got a present from Riho, and Ken Ohka who got a gift from Hikari Minami. Let’s see if the men will return the favour on 14th March, aka White Day.


LuFisto Has A Message For Ken Ohka

January 9, 2011

LuFisto posted a video on Youtube hyping her upcoming inter-gender match with Ken Ohka in Union on 3rd February. If you ask me, Ohka’s probably going to get killed. I wonder if it is too early to ask for a YOSHIHIKO Vs Pegaboo fight?
