Full DDT Cards For March, Val Venis Vs The Godfather?

March 21, 2013

2. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hikaru Sato & Tetsuya Endo Vs DJ Nira & Michael Nakazawa
3. MIKAMI Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs KUDO & Yasu Urano

USA “STARGATE 2013”, 28/03/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. USA World Tag Team Titles:
2. IC Title – 10th Wonder Of The World:
3. $10,000 Backbreaker Challenge:
4. Hall of Fame Ceremony:
5. Recapturing Elizabeth!? Wrestling Soap Opera Final Match:
6. Japan’s First Elimination Chamber Match:
7. Idea Pocket Presents – ALL or NOTHING: “Val Venis” Vs “The Godfather”

USA has struck a partnership deal with the AV company Idea Pocket. Part of the deal involves Idea Pocket presenting their own match for USA’s first show. It’s becoming very clear at this point that USA will not be a PG promotion. All I can gather is the match will be between “Val Venis” and “The Godfather”. Judging by the translation, it sounds like there are going to be a harem of Val Venises and a ho train of Godfathers taking part in the match.

DDT “BIG HOUSE ARROW HOMETOWN 2013”, 30/03/2013
Toyama Takaoka Coeur

1. 3 Way Match: DJ Nira Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Tetsuya Endo
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
3. KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs MIKAMI & Akito
4. Yoshiaki Yago & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa
5. HARASHIMA Vs Ken Ohka
6. Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi Vs Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma

Sanshiro Takagi, Keisuke Ishii & DJ Nira all risk losing their Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts at this show. HARASHIMA not so much.

DDT “OSAKA 24 ZONE TOUR ~ YODOGAWA DISTRICT”, 31/03/2013
Osaka Yodogawa Kumin Center

0. Dark Match: Gota Ihashi Vs Hideki Shiota
1. MIKAMI & Tetsuya Endo Vs Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kiai Ryuuken Ecchan Vs Yuji Hino, Daisuke Sasaki & Shoichi Uchida
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito Vs Masa Takanashi & Makoto Oishi
4. Special 5 Way Match: Kota Ibushi Vs KUDO Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Takao Soma Vs Konosuke Takeshita
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii
6. DDT Extreme Title – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs A.YAZAWA

Kenny Omega still has the DDT Extreme Title around his waist but he will get another tough defence coming up. A.YAZAWA has the advantage since the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match is his speciality.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2013”, 13/04/2013
Shinjuku FACE

KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Sakaguchi presents a fresh challenge not just for Irie but for KO-D Championship matches in general. Hikaru Sato was the last person with a shootfighting background to win and compete for the title. No disrespect to the guy but it looks like Sakaguchi outranks him in that area. However, Sakaguchi has only just recently begun to understand and fit into the crazy world of DDT and he hasn’t faced anyone like Irie. A victory for the new champion would make a strong statement from the get go.

USA “STARGATE 2013”, 28/03/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. USA World Tag Team Titles:
2. IC Title – 10th Wonder Of The World:
3. $10,000 Backbreaker Challenge:
4. Hall of Fame Ceremony:

DDT “OSAKA 24 ZONE TOUR ~ YODOGAWA DISTRICT”, 31/03/2013
Osaka Yodogawa Kumin Center

1. Special 5 Way Match: Kota Ibushi Vs KUDO Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Takao Soma Vs Konosuke Takeshita
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii
3. DDT Extreme Title – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs A.YAZAWA

While Kenny Omega is busy wrestling around Europe and North America, he mailed a letter to DDT naming his next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. In order to increase the value of the belt, there is one man Omega really wants to fight. That man is Antonio Honda. Honda was honoured to be chosen but turned down the match, claiming he is suffering from chronic love sickness. The good news is Honda knows the perfect guy to take his place, A.YAZAWA! That’s not all, the match will be a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match!

Team Dream Futures get a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles at this show. Both Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are looking forward to the match. Ishii has wanted to defeat HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano for months now but HARASHIMA’s recent injury put a stop to that plan. Now that HARASHIMA is back, Ishii gets his chance to destroy Ura-Shima-Kudo. Shigehiro Irie could be going into his home city as the KO-D Champion and is motivated to become a double champion. HARASHIMA feels he has become stronger from healing his injury and wants to crush the challengers.

Urano offered peace with FUMA afterwards, thanking him for taking KUDO’s spot in Ura-Shima-Kudo while he was injured. He also told FUMA he was still a friend of the group.

The MAGP, which is a new MVP award handed out by Tsurumi Amon after every show was today given to Yasu Urano. A loose translation of the name can be Most Amon-Impressed Player. The award includes a cash prize of 500 Yen.

Kenny Omega asked the fans to wish him luck for his upcoming trip to England where he will wrestle Zack Sabre Jr. in 4FW.

“Teacher” Sanshiro Takagi has promised to present more historical themed matches for future events.

Tensions are brewing between Yasu Urano and FUMA over whether or not the latter is part of the Ura-Shima-Kudo group now that KUDO is returning from injury. It got so bad that Urano gave FUMA the Tombstone Piledriver after their match at “SWEET DREAMS!” Here in Chiba they will settle some of their differences in the ring. But that won’t be the only upcoming match involving the two.

Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi now have a name for their stable. They are called the Golden Rendezvous.

FUMA still has allies in his home brand of Union and the biggest one of the lot will team with him to go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles held by Urano and HARASHIMA.

Have We Been Teleported Back To The Sengoku Era?

January 25, 2013

ura-shima-fuma

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN ODAWARA”, 10/02/2013
Odawara Sub Arena

1. Odawara Castle Siege Match: Narita Nagachika (Sanshiro Takagi), Princess Kai (Hiroyo Matsumoto) & Hojo Ujimasa (Akito) Vs Ishida Mitsunari (Danshoku Dino), Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Michael Nakazawa) & Date Masamune (DJ Nira)
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA

The former Hiro Tsumaki has changed his ringname to FUMA after taking suggestions from fans online. After a lot of consideration, Tsumaki whittled down the entries to three choices: FUMA, Aishu Ranba and Marasho. In the end he chose FUMA. The name is inspired by Fuma Kotaro, the 16th century leader of a ninja clan that was based in Odawara, Tsumaki’s hometown. Tsumaki also liked the name because it is written in romaji, so even foreign fans will know his name.

FUMA’s timing of the announcement also worked out to his advantage because he now has a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles in his hometown. FUMA will form a Union team with Shuji Ishikawa to take on the champions (and FUMA’s stablemates) HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano. For this match FUMA considers himself as wrestling for Union rather than Ura-Shima-Hiro (or are they now called Ura-Shima-Fuma?).

A mysterious document was sent to Tsurumi Amon that foretold of an upcoming siege in Odawara. Word has spread that Toyotomi Hideyoshi (no, not the Osaka Pro wrestler) has gathered his forces and are marching towards Odawara as we speak. Together with samurai commander Ishida Mitsunari and tactician Date Masamune (no, not the other Osaka Pro wrestler), the trio will spearhead the attack on Odawara Castle. Meanwhile, those in the castle are preparing for battle. Hojo Ujimasa along with Narita Nagachika have rallied their troops and also have the beautiful but deadly Princess Kai on their side. Together, they must protect their castle of chairs from destruction.

I’m now in the mood to watch Sengoku Basara after typing all of that.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA”, 11/02/2013
Oyama City Cultural Center

1. Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira Vs Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma
2. Yasu Urano Vs Shigehiro Irie

After all that flavour text for the Odawara show, there is not much to say about the show in Oyama one day later. Drift continue their war with DDT. While Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma have the odd hurdle of Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira to climb over, Shigehiro Irie has the far tougher challenge of facing Yasu Urano one on one.

DDT “DIAMOND DUST IN NAGOYA 2013” Results

January 20, 2013

DDT “DIAMOND DUST IN NAGOYA 2013” Results, 20/01/2013
Nagoya Telepia Hall
387 – Super No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Michael Nakazawa and Hiroshi Fukuda when Endo pinned both Nakazawa and Fukuda with a Moonsault (5:26).
2. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Gota Ihashi with a Face Kick (4:27).
3. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango defeated Makoto Oishi, Hikaru Sato & DJ Nira when Hoshitango pinned Nira with the Imachi Drop (10:24).
4. Gabaiji-chan defeated Danshoku Dino with the Swanton Bomb (9:08).
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Takai defeated Akito & Shigehiro Irie when Takai pinned Akito with the Dera HOF Bomb (12:29).
6. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi when Soma pinned Takanashi with the Boma Ye (8:09).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when HARASHIMA pinned Omega with the Somato (20:02).
*V1 for Ura-Shima.

Looks like Kenny Omega’s chance to become a DDT Triple Crown holder is not going to happen anytime soon. The KO-D Openweight Champion was pinned by HARASHIMA which will certainly give him a KO-D Title shot in the future. Yasu Urano admitted he was terribly worried about defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against the Golden Lovers but with this win he can confidently say he and HARASHIMA are the strongest team ever in DDT! HARASHIMA said they will defend the belt many more times.

January 18, 2013

6. Danshoku Dino Vs Gabaiji-chan
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega

The Golden Lovers reunite and may just turn Kenny Omega into a double champion.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito & Tetsuya Endo Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Makoto Oishi
2. Planning The New Year – 1 Vs 5 Handicap Match: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Michael Nakazawa, Hoshitango, Gota Ihashi, Batten Tamagawa & DJ Nira

7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka (c)

The Monster Army are the first team to get a KO-D 6-Man Tag Title shot, which is a bit odd since they originally stole the belts before they were brought into DDT.

Union Hangover, Daimond Dust Card, Yuzupon’s Final Bounce

January 7, 2013

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2013”, 14/01/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Goro Jr. & El Hijo del Goro Vs Daichi Kazato & SAGAT
2. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Fukuda (c) (w/ Rumi Kazama & Mame Endo) Vs Jun Kasai
3. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Seiya Morohashi Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Menso~re Oyaji
4. Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto
5. Hiro Tsumaki Vs Kengo Ohka
6. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Ken Ohka
7. DDT Extreme Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The Union Vs Drift feud got more heated in Yokohama yesterday with Isami Kodaka pinning Keisuke Ishii only to get laid out by the DDT Extreem Champion afterwards. They’ll meet again in Osaka on 12/1 when Union and Drift fight each other in the KO-D 6 Person Tag Team Title Tournament and then two days later Kodaka finally battles Ishii for the Extreme Title with Ishii still to decide what match it will be. The feud continues down the card with the new BJW Death Match Champion, Shuji Ishikawa teaming with Ken Ohka to face Drift’s Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma.

It is bad enough for Hiroshi Fukuda that he has to go one on one with Jun Kasai. Now he has to put the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title on the line. At least things are beginning to look up for the guy when it comes to having managers. The last couple of months has seen Fukuda trying to win back Rumi Kazama’s trust while trying to handle the unwanted attention of Mame Endo. Fukuda’s profile has begun to rise and he is starting to turn him into a hot commodity in wrestling. So both Kazama and Endo have agreed to manage Fukuda together and both will accompany him for his match against Kasai.

DDT “DIAMOND DUST IN NAGOYA 2013”, 20/01/2013
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Michael Nakazawa Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango Vs Makoto Oishi, Hikaru Sato & DJ Nira
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Gota Ihashi
4. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma Vs MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi
5. Akito & Shigehiro Irie Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Takai
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Gabaiji-chan
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega

HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano are two of the most accomplished tag team wrestlers in DDT. With 11 KO-D Tag Team Title reigns between them (6 for HARASHIMA, 5 for Urano), there are very few teams that can match up to them. The Golden Lovers may be one of those teams. Despite holding the KO-D Tag Team Titles only once together, Kota Ibushi and the current KO-D Openweight Champion Kenny Omega are one of the most popular tag teams to ever appear in DDT. So who better to get the first shot at the new champions?

No, not the Brahman Brothers!

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko
2. Kota Ibushi Vs Konosuke Takeshita
3. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii (c)

It’s possible that by the time this match comes around, Omega could be aiming to complete the KO-D Triple Crown by adding the DDT Extreme Title to both KO-D Championships.

The joshi queen of bouncy-bouncy, Yuzuki Aikawa has her final match in DDT teaming with one of her biggest supporters Sanshiro Takagi. Yoshiko comes along for the ride but will be disappointed she will not team with her beloved Kota Ibushi. Instead she gets to be with Danshoku Dino. I don’t think Dino is happy with the idea either.

DDT “YOKOHAMA NEW YEAR WRESTLING FIESTA” Results

January 6, 2013

ura-shima-hiro-kudo

DDT “YOKOHAMA NEW YEAR WRESTLING FIESTA”, 06/01/2013
Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse
331 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Young New Generation Battle – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Hideyoshi Kamitani, Tank Nagai & Risa Sera defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Yusaku Ito & Neko Nitta when Kamitani pinned Fukuda with a Backslide Pin (12:26). (Special Guest Referee: A.YAZAWA)
2. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Gorgeous Matsuno with a Triangle Choke (4:25).
3. New Year Battle Royal: Tetsuya Endo defeated A.YAZAWA by Ring Out (7:10).
Order of Elimination: Antonio Honda, Gota Ihashi, Daisuke Sasaki, Akito, Masa Takanashi and A.YAZAWA.
4. Kana, Mio Shirai & Sanshiro Takagi defeated Michael Nakazawa, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hikaru Sato when Kana & Shirai submitted Nakazawa with an Armbar and a Leglock (10:36).
5. Shigehiro Irie & DJ Nira defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (7:43).
6. Isami Kodaka & Hiro Tsumaki defeated Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma when Kodaka pinned Ishii with the Isamu Leg (11:07).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated MIKAMI & Tatsumi Fujinami (c) when HARASHIMA pinned MIKAMI with the Somato (15:25).
*MIKAMI & Tatsumi Fujinami fail in V4. HARASHIMA & Yasu Uano become the 46th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

2013 already looks to be a good year for UraShimaHiro. The team of HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano successfully defeated MIKAMI & Tatsumi Fujinami to become the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! It was a crazy match which saw plenty of ladders being used, some were even brought in by Fujinami of all people. But UraShima were able to get rid of Fujinami and put MIKAMI down for the count with the Tombstone Piledriver followed by the Somato. Urano thanked Fujinami after the match and said he would be welcomed back into DDT anytime. Tsurumi Amon praised HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano and called them one of the strongest teams in DDT due to their vast combined success with tag team wrestling throughout their careers. But Amon pointed out they may not be the absolute No. 1 strongest team in DDT. HARASHIMA asked who was that team. Urano guessed the Golden Lovers. Amon took that as a nomination from the champions for their first title defence. So in Nagoya on 20/1 UraShima will defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega!

Tempers flared between Keisuke Ishii and Isami Kodaka in the build up to their DDT Extreme Title match in Union on 14/1. They will also cross paths again in the KO-D 6 Person Tag Team Title Tournament on 12/1 when Drift and Union face off in the semi-final. Today, Kodaka scored a pinfall over Ishii but a brawl broke out after the match and Ishii left Kodaka laying with the High Angle Double Arm DDT.

Kota Ibushi fell ill with the flu and had to miss the show, leading to a small shuffle in the card. Gota Ihashi was moved to the Battle Royal while Shigehiro Irie & DJ Nira were slapped together as a last minute team to face Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. Despite the lack of preparation together, Irie & Nira were still able to win.

Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Tomomitsu Matsunaga are now calling themselves 3CC Ltd Co. They want to get into the business of selling erotic DVDs of female wrestlers and the first talents they want to sign are Kana and Mio Shirai (Nakazawa’s a big fan of their recent gravure DVDs apparently). 3CC Ltd Co. brought along cameraman Yumehito Imanari to be in the ring and record the more suggestive moments of the match. Sanshiro Takagi didn’t like this and just wanted to have a normal wrestling match. Kana & Mio got the last laugh when they both made Nakazawa submit to a combined Armbar and Leglock, all while Imanari was filming it with gravure style camera angles.

Two new matches were announced for the 27/1 Korakuen Hall show. Yuzuki Aikawa will appear in DDT one last time before her retirement in April. She teams up with Sanshiro Takagi to face Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko. Also Kota Ibushi takes on Konosuke Takeshita.

Risa Sera from Ice Ribbon was the last name entered into the Young New Generation Battle. A.YAZAWA made his first appearance of the night to referee the bout which was turned into a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. A.YAZAWA would pop up again in the Battle Royal.

A one night tournament has been set up to determine the first ever KO-D 6 Person Tag Team Champions. Team Castle, UraShimaHiro, Team Dream Futures and Union make up the four teams of three. Meanwhile Danshoku Dino has a date with Yuji Hino while Michael Nakazawa goes through a gauntlet of DDT wrestlers to prepare for the year ahead.

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2013”, 14/01/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Jun Kasai
2. Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto
3. DDT Extreme Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The main event has more than just the DDT Extreme Title on the line. The winner will also go on to main event DDT’s Korakuen Hall event later this month against Kenny Omega in a Double Title match.

DDT “DIAMOND DUST IN NAGOYA 2013”, 20/01/2013
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. Akito & Shigehiro Irie Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Takai
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Gabaiji-chan

Danshoku Dino’s original opponent El Samurai is now unable to wrestle on this show. Luckily, DDT found a suitable replacement in the form of Gabiji-chan. This elderly gentleman is from K-DOJO and is as mobile as Jackson Florida from Dragon Gate. Plus chances are good that he doesn’t stink of tobacco smoke.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii (c)

The first DDT Korakuen main event of 2013 is a big one. Both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Extreme Title will be on the line in a Double Title match. Kenny Omega’s first defence of the KO-D Title will be against either Keisuke Ishii or Isami Kodaka. The only person to hold both championships at the same time was Sanshiro Takagi in 2008.
