The DDT 15th Anniversary show at Nippon Budokan is set for 18th August, 2012. Back at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”, Sanshiro Takagi sent out a challenge to Minoru Suzuki for a match at the Budokan. We’ll see if the match goes ahead.

MIKAMI has emerged as the next challenger for the KO-D Openweight Title. He called KUDO a worthy champion but also said he was not creative enough to lead DDT into its 15th Anniversary. KUDO Vs MIKAMI will take place in DDT’s New Year’s Eve show at Korakuen Hall.

After Kenny Omega successfully chalked his first defence of the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title, he told the fans he is unsure if he could ever defend the belt in DDT again. He thanked the fans for their support. Omega won the match with the One Winged Angel, which was described as a Piggy Back Michinoku Driver.

The Homoiro Clover Z Audition was a 10 minute Battle Royal with the participants needing to dance whenever a Momoiro Clover Z song began playing in the background or else they would be eliminated. When the time limit expired, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi had to choose from all the participants who survived the Battle Royal. They chose Akito, Hiroshi Fukuda, Hikari Minami & Gran Hamada and named their group Homoiro Clover Z Green. Dino & Makoto will now use the name Homoiro Clover Z Black. They have also been given a KO-D Tag Team Title shot against Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie on 11th December.

Yuji Hino was revealed to be the latest ally of Let’s Go 30’s. Hino & Yasu Urano have decided to form a team called Crying Wolf and they will challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles at DDT’s 31/12 Korakuen Hall event.

God Bless DDT, Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match, Busy Schedule

November 26, 2011

5. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru Tanaka
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs HARASHIMA

This will be one of the more major Korakuen Hall shows DDT will produce this year. A double main event sees KUDO defend the KO-D Title against HARASHIMA in a battle between two of DDT’s most established wrestlers while Kenny Omega sets his first defence of the AJPW Jr. Championship against the Jr. Heavyweight superstar Minoru Tanaka. Meanwhile Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi go on the hunt for a new member of the Homoiro Clover Z stable. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defend the KO-D Tag Titles against the veteran duo of Poison JULIE Sawada & Gorgeous Matsuno, which will still take place despite Matsuno’s health and fitness being under question. But the biggest news will be Sanshiro Takagi announcing the date for DDT’s 15th Anniversary show to be held in Nippon Budokan.

Antonio Honda gave a hint towards the mystery fourth wrestler in the Let’s Go 30’s team. Honda said the wrestler is a “Crying Wolf”, referencing “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” children’s tale.

DDT “TENKA SANBUN NO KAI”, 11/12/2011
Hakata Star Lane

1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A. YAZAWA & Ken Ohka Vs Michael Nakazawa & Batten Tamagawa

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match previously took place during the Union day of “BEER FIGHT 2011” week. At times the match will be interrupted by music. Depending on the song being played, every wrestler in the match has to stop wrestling and either dance or drink alcohol until the music stops.

Also scheduled to show up are Hikaru Sato, Daisuke Sasaki, DJ Nira and Freelance Team Oita wrestler Azul Dragon.

DDT and Union have announced a bunch of new events taking place in early 2012. The next couple of months will be very busy as there will be at least one DDT or Union show every week from December until March with shows taking place in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka, Chiba and Nagoya.

*V3 for KUDO.

KUDO has now reached his third defense of the KO-D Openweight Title, beating the title reigns of previous Sumo Hall main event champions Kota Ibushi and HARASHIMA. KUDO told Masa Takanashi there were no hard feelings between them and he offered to go drinking with Masa after the show. He also nominated HARASHIMA to be his next challenger and for their title match to take place at the 27/11 Korakuen Hall show. KUDO compared HARASHIMA to Goku from Dragon Ball Z and said that to beat him, KUDO will have to be Vegeta!

Minoru Tanaka, who has recently gone back to using that name as a tribute to BattlARTS, scores a vital victory over Kenny Omega in the run up to their AJPW Jr. Title match on 27/11. As if the loss was not bad enough, Omega’s left knee was in great pain after the match. Now Minoru has a target to focus his attacks on for the title match.

Poison JULIE Sawada & Gorgeous Matsuno have joined forces and challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to a KO-D Tag Team Title match.

The Kasu Rachoresu Treatment match has been changed from a singles match between Yoshiaki Yago and Miyako, into a tag team match between Yago and his Good Nurse Madoka versus Miyako and her master BENTEN. The bout will also be a dark match. Yago thinks the match will be so dangerous that he doesn’t want Union boss Naomi Susan to see it, fearing that it would upset her.

Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2

1. Triple Threat: Kushinbo Kamen Vs Kikutaro Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Winner Of 30/10 Contender Match
3. Special Tag Match: Kenny Omega & HARASHIMA Vs Minoru & Koji Kanemoto
4. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

Masa Takanashi finds himself in the same main event spot Hikaru Sato was in this time last year. The 2010 “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL” show had Sato become the KO-D Openweight Champion in dramatic fashion, defeating HARASHIMA and halting his KO-D Title run that began at Sumo Hall. Takanashi can repeat the same achievement when he goes up against the champion KUDO.

Kenny Omega’s first challenger for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title has been confirmed to be Minoru, a supernova of the Japanese Jr. Heavyweight scene. Their title match will take place in DDT, which I’ll get to below. But before that match happens, Kenny will be teaming up with HARASHIMA to take on the Junior Stars of Minoru & Koji Kanemoto in Osaka on 6/11.

UNION “UNION 6th ANNIVERSARY”, 22/11/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health Treatment Match: Yoshiaki Yago (w/ Good Nurse Madoka) Vs Miyako (w/ BENTEN)
3. 6th Anniversary Battle Royal: Kazuhiko Ogasawara Vs Poison Sawada Vs A. YAZAWA Vs Chou-un Shiryu Vs Mecha Mummy Lite Vs Sister Akiko Vs Takeshi Minamino
4. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Cherry (c) Vs Apple Miyuki
5. Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka Vs Masao Orihara & Big Morohashi
6. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi

A correction for the match involving the Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health duo of Yoshiaki Yago & Madoka with the oriental couple BENTEN & Miyako. It turns out that Yago will not be facing BENTEN but will in fact have some sort of match against Miyako! BENTEN will be in Miyako’s corner while Yago will have his “Good Nurse” Madoka by his side for the bout.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2011”, 27/11/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru

Just like when Kota Ibushi was the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion and when the Golden Lovers held the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, DDT will now get to host an AJPW Jr. Title match for Omega Vs Minoru.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO” Results

October 10, 2011

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall
381 Fans

1. Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda defeated Poison JULIE Sawada & DJ Nira when Honda pinned Nira with a Bionic Elbow (13:10).
2. 100 Nunchaku & Pots Death Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Hiroki defeated Michael Nakazawa & Chiharu when Hiroki pinned Chiharu with an Iron Nunchaku Strike on a flower pot (15:30).
3. Hikaru Sato defeated Masa Takanashi with the Cross Armbreaker (11:14).
4. Tomoya Adachi & Takao Soma defeated HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki when Adachi pinned Sasaki with the S.O.D. (12:02).
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated KUDO & MIKAMI when Takagi pinned MIKAMI with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (11:02).
6. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ishii pinned Dino with the Kneel Kick (15:20).
*Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie become the 40th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

Generation rivals Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie will now have to stick with each other as they became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! They defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi of the new Homoiro Clover Z group to win the vacant titles. It was a pretty nasty finish as Ishii dropped Dino right onto his face with an Exploder Suplex before hitting him with the match winning Kneel Kick. The new champions shook each others hands and celebrated, putting behind their differences to become the new tag team to beat in DDT.

Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa tried to do the Golden Shower onto KUDO during their match, but MIKAMI tripped them off of the top rope.

The annual Sapporo fight between Hiroki the ninja and Chiharu the karate guy was booked as a tag team match this year. Hiroki had Sanshiro Takagi as his tag partner while Chiharu sided with Michael Nakazawa. That was not all. The match would also be a 100 Nunchaku & Pots Death Match and Kota Ibushi was there to do the ring announcements. Nunchaku and coat hangers were placed hanging on the ring ropes while small flower pots, ones made of plastic and ones made of clay, were placed on the ring canvas beneath them. Nakazawa suffered a bloody gash over his right shoulder from the finish. However, he was able to take his forfeit for losing the match. The forfeit was Nakazawa had to place a flower pot over his head with a firecracker inside it while Ibushi lit the cracker’s fuse. It turned out to be a harmful experience for both of them.

Forget Ibushi’s shoulder. With the way he plays with fireworks, one of these days he is going to lose some fingers.

Frantic Card Reshuffling, Ibushi’s Replacements

September 12, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 9.18”, 18/09/2011
Chiba Blue Field

1. 3 Way: Darkside HERO! Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Masa Takanashi
2. Poison JULIE Sawada & Keisuke Ishii Vs MIKAMI & Daisuke Sasaki
3. Yasu Urano Vs Hiro Tonai
4. HARASHIMA Vs HERO!
5. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Yuji Hino & Ryuichi Sekine
6. Danshoku Dino & YOSHIHIKO Vs Antonio Honda & Michael Nakazawa
7. KUDO Vs Makoto Oishi

With Kota Ibushi now out of action for the forseeable future, DDT has a big hole to fill on their cards. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures and DDT went searching for the only man they knew they could rely on to replace Ibushi. Luckily for them, he has accepted their offer and has come to the rescue. YOSHIHIKO will now be replacing Ibushi on the “NON-FIX 9.18” card in Chiba Blue Field. Like I said, desperate times, desperate measures.

DDT “DDT48 Election”, 25/09/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Gorgeous Matsuno Vs YOSHIHIKO
2. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiro Tsumaki
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Yasu Urano
4. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs El Generico & Hiroya Fukuda
6. DDT Vs Union: KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka

However, DDT went and found another replacement for Ibushi this time at the “DDT48 Election” show in Korakuen Hall. El Generico comes back to DDT to team with Hiroya Fukuda from Union to fight Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. That’s right, the dream match of Danshoku Dino Vs El Generico will now come true! I mean sure, it’s the kind of dream you get when you eat a lot of cheese at night before going to sleep, but it’s a dream match none the less!

The teams have been chosen for the DDT Vs Union 6-Man Tag Team main event. DDT will be represented by the Caps Lock squad of KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI. Union has a mix of three seperate factions, Union ace Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi of the TKG48 and Kengo Ohka from the Susan Guard.

Another match to watch out for is Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie. I have become a big fan of both wrestlers over the year. Their matches against each other has lead to an entertaining generation rivalry between the two. Ishii is coming off of a loss to KUDO over the KO-D Openweight Title, but has grown into a confident wrestler who still has a bright future ahead of him. Irie is the lovable big brute of both DDT and Union. With a KO-D Tag Team Title reign and pinfalls over Kota Ibushi and Shuji Ishikawa listed under his recent accomplishments, Irie is quickly climbing the ranks of both brands. He will be looking to avenge his defeat to Ishii at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”.

There are plenty more matches to come for this show. This is because every wrestler involved in this year’s DDT48 Election (except for Ibushi) will compete and get one last chance to campaign for votes from the fans. In order to fit everyone in, every match except the main event will have a ten minute time limit.

DDT “CAMPING-GROUND PRO-WRESTLING OM”, 26/09/2011
Yamanashi Natureland Om

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. 4 Way: HARASHIMA & KUDO Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa Vs Isami Kodaka & Ken Ohka

HARASHIMA will now take Ibushi’s place on the Campsite show.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi
2. KUDO & Hikaru Sato Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
3. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs X & X

The KO-D Tag Team Championship has now been vacated. Danshoku Dino will have a chance to win back the belts with his other Homoiro Clover Z partner Makoto Oishi in Sapporo. Their opponents will be determined in a mini tournament to be held before then.

Kota Ibushi Vacates Titles!

September 12, 2011

Kota Ibushi’s niggling shoulder injury returned to haunt him this week and it has cost him the title he values most. Ibushi dislocated his left shoulder during an indy wrestling event in Osaka yesterday and will be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time. Unfortunately, this means his scheduled IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title defence against KUSHIDA at the 19th September New Japan event at Kobe World Hall. As a result, Ibushi has forfeited the title and is no longer the IWGP Jr. Champion. The title will now be awarded to the winner of KUSHIDA Vs Prince Devitt at that show.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the injury has also forced Ibushi and Danshoku Dino to vacate the KO-D Tag Team Titles they won just last month. This is a major blow at a time when Ibushi was at the peak of success as a DDT pro wrestler.

*V1 for KUDO.
– Ironman Heavymetalweight Title: Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Michael Nakazawa with a School Boy (Clock 15:06).
* Gorgeous Matsuno becomes the 877th champion.

KUDO swept aside his first challenger for the KO-D Openweight Championship. Keisuke Ishii put up a brave effort for his first shot at the title, but KUDO stood tall by the end. His next challenger will be the winner of the DDT48 Election 2011, taking place on the 23rd October Korakuen Hall show. If KUDO ends up winning the election, he will be allowed to choose his opponent.

We have brand new KO-D Tag Team Champions in the form of Kota Ibushi & Danshoku Dino! The two most well known names from DDT make quite the successful combination as they put away the big and small team of Daisuke Sekimoto & Masa Takanashi to win the titles. To celebrate their victory, Dino and Ibushi were joined in the ring with Makoto Oishi and together they all sang and danced to a Momoiro Clover Z song. This is enough to signal a new unit, apparently.

Hikaru Sato was defeated by fellow Pancrase MISSION fighter Minoru Suzuki. Minoru added salt to the wounds by saying he was always better than Sato going back to their days in Pancrase.

HERO! and Darkside HERO! turned on HARASHIMA, giving him a Tombstone Piledriver and leaving him for dead in their 6-Man Tag match. In response to this, Tsurumi Amon announced that HARASHIMA will face HERO! one on one at “NON-FIX 9.18” in Chiba Blue Field.

A DDT Vs Union 6-Man Tag match was announced for a special DDT48 Election show taking place in Korakuen Hall on 25th September. KUDO, HARASHIMA & Kota Ibushi will take on Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka. The Union side has the big disadvantage of being made up of wrestlers from three rival factions. The rest of the DDT48 contestants will appear at the show, which will be the final event where they can campaign for votes before the polls close.

Poison Sawada JULIE’s new name is… Poison JULIE Sawada! The name change he planned was actually just switching parts of his name around, going from ポイズン澤田JULIE to ポイズンJULIE澤田. Sawada arrived at Korakuen Hall with a brand new look, which is being called his “TOKIO” costume. The new costume is a long red Sgt. Pepper style jacket along with a golden helmet that is legal to use during matches. Sawada also used a brand new finishing move called the Pirates A GOGO to defeat Daisuke Sasaki in their tag match and getting revenge for his humiliation during “BEER FIGHT 2011” week.

Several DDT and Union wrestlers spent time with the audience between matches during today’s event, campaigning for votes in the DDT48 Elections. Makoto Oishi went around giving free hugs for example. Although he might have done that anyway regardless of whether or not there was an election going on.

UNION “BEER FIGHT 2011” Card, New DDT Matches

July 29, 2011

UNION “BEER FIGHT 2011 ~ UNION DAY”, 07/08/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka
2. Rock & Roll Deathmatch: Big Morohashi Vs A.YAZAWA Vs Hiroya Fukuda
3. Ken Ohka Vs Taichi
4. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Cherry
5. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Sexxxy Eddy

Apparently Isami Kodaka wanted to defend the DDT Extreme Title against Cherry in a Sexy Diva Deathmatch but the idea was quickly shot down by Naomi Susan. Instead Kodaka will defend the belt against Canadian sensation (the kind you should have checked by your doctor), Sexxxy Eddy! Doesn’t explain why poor little Cherry now has to fight Shuji Ishikawa. Unless it’s an excuse to dress Shuji up in joshi gear again (*shudders).

Ken Ohka has laid out a challenge to Taichi of New Japan for the show. Ken has promised to unleash his full fighting spirit against Taichi.

Takao Soma is the newest member of the TKG48. His membership number is #38. This will be his first match as part of the group when it battles against their arch rivals the Susan Guard once more.

DDT “DOTONBORI STORY 10”, 21/08/2011
