DDT are planning ahead with their KO-D Title matches in the next couple of months. A 3 Way No. 1 Contender’s Match will take place between HARASHIMA, KUDO and Yasu Urano on 4th May. The winner will face the KO-D Openweight Champion in Sapporo on 27/5. Also, this year’s King Of DDT tournament will take place on 30th June and 7th July.

Despite losing the match for his side, Yasu Urano told Masa Takanashi that he will not hold the KO-D Title for long. Yano said his Crying Wolf stablemate Yuji Hino is the strongest fighter in DDT history and that it would be he taking on Hino for the KO-D Title in Sapporo. HARASHIMA gave Takanashi encouragement and wished him luck. KUDO said he guarantees 100% that he will win the 3 Way, win back the KO-D Title and main event Budokan Hall.

The Anti-Establishment of Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma has come to an end, only for a new threat to emerge. Takagi & Soma held an impromptu KO-D Tag Team Title match against Homoiro Clover Z duo Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda. The match barely lasted a minute and the champs retained in the quickest title match in the championship’s history. A rematch was set afterwards but without the title on the line. Instead the losing team must have their unit split up. What followed was a big upset when Hiroshi Fukuda pinned Sanshiro Takagi and put an end to their CM Punk inspired ways. However, Takagi had a sneaky trick up his sleeve. He immediately formed a new unit with Takao Soma and one with an even more poisonous inspiration. Takagi’s new unit is called New World Japan, the nWJ!

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship reached a milestone today, gaining its 900th champion and 900th title change. Kana, now representing the Wrestling New Classic promotion, became the 900th champion aswell as the 902nd and 904th champion before finally escaping from the men. Looks like Michael Nakazawa is continuing his advances on the World Famous female wrestler. Nakazawa and Kana will next be inside a DDT ring together on 22/4.

Makoto Oishi will cash in his Ken Ohka Anytime, Anywhere contract in Yokohama on 22/4.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga was approached by Batten Tamagawa to talk about the Right To Challenge Tag Anytime, Anywhere contract. Batten asked if he could be Matsunaga’s tag team partner so they could cash in the contract together and win the KO-D Tag Team Title. Matsunaga refused and said it is because he really wants to win the title for the first time in five years. He thinks Batten is not good enough to tag with him and proved it by beating him in a match.

DDT “WRESTLING TONKOTSU 2012”, 20/03/2012

*V3 for Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma.

Sanshiro Takagi sent a devastating message to Danshoku Dino by pinning the KO-D Champion with his own finishing move. With Takagi successfully defending his own KO-D Tag Team Title along with Takao Soma, he now looks forward to his shot at Dino’s KO-D Title on 1st April. To show his domination, Takagi stood over an unconcious Dino with both KO-D Openweight and Tag Team Title belts held in the air after the match.

Takashi Dai introduced himself after his debut match against Shigehiro Irie. Dai was born on 19th January, 1992. He is 180cm tall and weighs 95kg. He has previous training experience in judo and mixed martial arts.


Kenny Beats Kondo, Insults KAI, KO-D Tag Title In STYLE-E

March 20, 2012

AJPW “40TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR PRO-WRESTLING LOVE IN RYOGOKU VOL. 14”, 20/03/2012
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
9,000 Fans

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Shuji Kondo with the One Winged Angel (21:01).
*V4 for Kenny Omega.

Another All Japan Jr. Heavyweight bites the dust in the company’s attempt to unseat Kenny Omega as their champion. This time it was Shuji Kondo that stepped up to the plate only to fall to the One Winged Angel. After the match KAI came out to challenge Omega to a title match. Kenny extended his hand for a handshake only to smack KAI over the head with the title belt. He then threw insults at KAI, calling him a fool who was not a hero to the All Japan fans. Omega could next defend the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title back home in DDT on April 1st when he faces Shigehiro Irie in a singles match. That is of course if Irie drops enough weight to qualify as a Jr. Heavyweight.

STYLE-E “8TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 17/03/2012
West Chofu Arena
157 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

KO-D Tag Team Title: Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma (c) defeated Masato Shibata & Shota when Soma pinned Shota with the Boma Ye (15:02).
*V2 for Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma.

A few days before Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma were supposed to defend their KO-D Tag Team Title in DDT, they go over to STYLE-E to defend the belts against Masato Shibata & Shota. Although the challengers got some momentum during the match, the match ended with Takagi giving Shota a Spiccoli Driver and then handing him over to Soma for a Go 2 Sleep and finally the Boma Ye to win the match.

Three prizes are on offer for the Anytime & Anywhere Contract Royal Rumble. There are two contracts hanging above the ring which allow the people holding them to challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title at any show from April to the 15th Anniversary event in August. It is up to the competitors to climb the ladder provided, grab the contract and get out of the ring with it in his possession to keep it. The winner of the Royal Rumble itself gets a KO-D Title shot on 4th May.

While his tag team partner is competing in the main event, Takao Soma will be teaming up with Genba Hirayanagi from Pro Wrestling NOAH to take on the Do Hentai Dan team of Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa. Genba previously appeared in DDT back in 2009 with Akira Taue where they fought Nakazawa & Sanshiro Takagi in a match that featured Nakazawa stepping in a bear trap.

DDT will be holding their 2012 Strategy Presentation before the show. Members of the roster will also be available to exchange business cards with ticket holders after the show is over.

7. KO-D Tag Team Title: Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & KUDO

The little stunt pulled by Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma yesterday is not going over well with the DDT General Manager. Takagi & Soma, who have clearly been watching one too many CM Punk videos, are currently rebelling against the establishment so they can make DDT more interesting. In this case, the establishment is Tsurumi Amon and only Tsurumi Amon. After winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles on Sunday, the new champions quickly had their first title defence at a GUTS World event a few hours later. Takagi explains that he wants to promote DDT and defending the KO-D Tag Title in other promotions helps his cause. Amon is pissed off at Takagi for constantly ignoring his decisions and making title matches without his permission. Takagi has also promised to have a KO-D Tag Title match in STYLE-E on 17th March. Amon is already sending the big guns after the champs to get the belts back as soon as possible. Homoiro Clover Z teammates Danshoku Dino and KUDO will team up and face Takagi & Soma in the main event of next week’s show in Hakata Star Lanes.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2012”, 01/04/2012

Shigehiro Irie has been granted a shot at the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title but only on the condition that he weighs under 105kg on the day of the show. 105kg is the weight limit for Jr. Heavyweight wrestlers in All Japan.

Also appearing on the show is the debut of Tetsuya Endo and Finnish wrestler Nico Valentine, who previously wrestled in Japan for SMASH. DDT will also be hosting a Strategy Presentation for its plans throughout the rest of 2012.


New KO-D Tag Champs Already Defend Belts

March 12, 2012

GUTS WORLD “DEVIL WORLD 2012”, 11/03/2012
Kitasenju Theatre 1010
120 Fans – No Vacancy

KO-D Tag Team Title: Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma (c) defeated Guts Ishijima & Taro Yamada when Soma pinned Yamada with the Boma Ye (10:40).
*V1 for Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma.

The new KO-D Tag Team Champions are causing even more headaches for Tsurumi Amon. Shortly after becoming champions on Sunday, Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma travelled from Korakuen Hall to Kitasenju Theatre 1010 where a GUTS World event was taking place. The main event saw Guts Ishijima win the Strongest Devil Alliance A-1 Climax Tournament. However, his celebrations were cut short when Sanshiro Takagi’s entrance music played over the speakers and the KO-D Tag Team Champions walked down to the ring. After some trash talking took place, a KO-D Tag Team Title match was declared and once Ishijima brought down Taro Yamada to be his partner, the match begun right away. After 10 minutes, Soma put away another victim with the Boma Ye and scored the pin to keep the titles.

That wasn’t all that happened. After the show ended, Takagi & Soma were approached by Kazuhiro Tamura & Shota from STYLE-E. Shota asked if he and Masato Shibata could get a shot at the titles on STYLE-E’s 17th March show in West Chofu. Takagi said he would think about it but eventually promised them that it would happen.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dino (c) defeated Hikaru Sato with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver (20:10).
*V2 for Danshoku Dino.

After dispatching Hikaru Sato in the main event, Danshoku Dino nominated Sanshiro Takagi & Masa Takanashi as the top two challengers for his KO-D Openweight Title. Takanashi and Takagi will face each other in a No. 1 Contender’s match on 18th March. The winner will face Dino for the title when DDT returns to Korakuen Hall for their double header with Union on 1st April.

The Anti-Establishment Unit are now the KO-D Tag Team Champions! In his third shot at the belts, Takao Soma finally made it all the way and won his first championship in his career. He and Sanshiro Takagi are now planning to defend the title as many different promotions as possible. Tsurumi Amon is not happy at the recent turn of events and refuses to allow Takagi & Soma to defend the KO-D Tag Team Title outside of DDT. Takagi ignored him and listed a number of different promotions to defend the belt in. Places like New Japan, Dragon Gate, Big Japan, Diamond Ring and Okinawa Pro Wrestling were all suggested only for Tsurumi to shoot down each idea. Tsurumi then accidentaly mentioned that a GUTS World show was going to take place in Kitasenju later. That gave Takagi and Soma the idea to crash that show and lay out a challenge to the GUTS roster.

After match #5, Shigehiro Irie predicted that Kenny Omega would defeat Shuji Kondo in All Japan on 20th March. Then on 1st April, Irie will have dropped enough weight to challenge and defeat Kenny Omega to win the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Irie then said he will nominate Shuji Kondo as his first challenger. Shuji Kondo praised Irie in a backstage interview after the match, calling his performance “tremendous”. Meanwhile Keisuke Ishii was upset with losing the match to Kondo and Kaz Hayashi. He felt he was not ready to have fought Hayashi so soon. However, he does want to face Kaz Hayashi again, this time in a singles match.

Kana got a nice little White Day gift in the form of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The belt began changing hands before the Battle Royal even took place. The champion at the beginning of the show was Antonio Honda. While he was explaining the rules of the match to the competitors, Poison JULIE Sawada ambushed him and won the title. When the match finally took place, Sawada was pinned by Michael Nakazawa. Nakazawa then made the mistake of provoking Kana by asking if she wanted the silver belt or his “golden axe”. Kana knocked him out and became champion. Honda was next to win the belt with under a minute remaining but Kana immediately trapped him in a Cross Armbreaker to win back the belt and complete the Battle Royal as champion. She later became one of the few champions to successfully defend the belt when an ambush by Nakazawa backstage failed and left him choked out by the champion.

Two brand new DDT wrestlers will both be making their debut in the next couple of weeks. The first to debut is Takashi Dai. He will have his first match in Hakata Star Lanes on 20th March. The second is Tetsuya Endo, who will debut in Korakuen Hall on 1st April.

DDT announced that El Generico will compete at the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall!

Kota Ibushi will be the stand-in General Manager for the “NON-FIX 3.18 SPECIAL” at Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week.

Two prizes were announced for the Battle Royal that will take place on 1st April. The Anytime & Anywhere Contract will be hung above the ring and will go to whoever can take it down. The winner of the Battle Royal itself will get the KO-D Title shot on the 4th May Korakuen show.

A one minute’s silence dedicated to the victims of last year’s earthquake and tsunami took place at the end of the show.

While Sato & Michael Nakazawa haven’t been so successful with their re-established tag team, the upcoming title shot and push up the card should be more than enough motivation to improve their talent and teamwork.

NEW BEIJING “NEW YEAR JAPAN TOUR 2012”, 26/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Heaven Six Wheel Challenge:

The roster for the New Beijing show in Japan has been announced on DDT’s website. Regular DDT and Union guests Choun-Shiryu and Cao Zhang are among the competitors. The fighters involved who have previously participated in New Beijing’s tours of Japan or DDT itself include Tairo, Yasuura No, Earl Dino, Son Goku and Giant Boshoku. Joining them are three new additions to the roster who will all be stepping foot in Japan for the first time. The three newcomers are Hiroshi Fukuoka, “Raw Miharu” Murata Kanazawa and Xiang Mon Ying. Fukuoka is known as the class clown of the group. Kanazawa is a renowned intellectual who studies ancient Rome and is fluent in Italian. Ying is the only female of the group. She boasts about her good looks and was a finalist in the Miss Xian Princess 2011 contest. She is also a shaolin master with a successful pro wrestling career in China. So don’t underestimate her.

DDT “DOTONBORI STORY 11”, 04/03/2012
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Champion Vs Antonio Honda
2. Nakazawa Local Indie Education Match: Michael Nakazawa Vs Hideki Shiota
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma Vs Tigers Mask & DJ Nira
4. Danshoku Dino & KUDO Vs Hikaru Sato & HARASHIMA

DDT is finally making an attempt to repossess the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title by having the champion defending the belt when DDT returns to Osaka. Miyuki Matsuyama is the current champion but she rarely appears in public. When she does, it is to take part in Osaka Pro Wrestling shows. Until DDT comes to town they will be hoping that the Osaka Pro roster will lure out the ghostly champion and grab the belt off of her somehow.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2012”, 11/03/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Champion Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Poison JULIE Sawada Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Tigers Mask Vs Kana
2. A Major Explosion!? Rocket Punch: Masao Inoue Vs DJ Nira
3. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

Sanshiro Takagi’s Anti-Establishment unit is gaining momentum and also proving to be very beneficial for Takao Soma. The former Shit Heart ♥ Foundation leader has earned several wins lateley ever since he adopted the Boma Ye knee strike as his finisher. Takagi & Soma now have a KO-D Tag Team Title shot but that means taking on the Crying Wolf faction and their dominant team of Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino.
