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.

5. Shuji Kondo & Kaz Hayashi defeated Shigehiro Irie & Keisuke Ishii when Hayashi pinned Ishii with the Final Cut (13:43).
– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kana (c) defeated Michael Nakazawa with a Guillotine Choke (13:21 pm).
*V1 for Kana.
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma defeated Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) when Soma pinned Urano with the Diving Guillotine Drop (15:18).
*Crying Wolf fails in V3. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma become the 42nd KO-D Tag Team Champions!
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.

Dino Vs Sato, New Beijing Tour Roster

February 21, 2012

DDT “NON-FIX 2.24”, 24/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Keita Yano Vs Rion Mizuki
2. Keisuke Ishii Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. HARASHIMA Vs Masa Takanashi
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma Vs Hoshitango & DJ Nira
5. Yasu Urano, Yuji Hino & Antonio Honda Vs KUDO, Makoto Oishi & Hiroshi Fukuda
6. Danshoku Dino & Akito Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa

Hikaru Sato is next in line for a shot at Danshoku Dino and his KO-D Openweight Championship. Their first skirmish will be in Shin-Kiba 1st Ring when DDT holds their latest NON-FIX event. 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.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2012” Results

February 19, 2012

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2012”, 19/02/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,408 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Sexxxy Eddy & Keita Yano defeated Shigehiro Irie & DJ Nira when Eddy pinned Nira with the SEX On The Beach (11:56).
2. Masa Takanashi, Tsukasa Fujimoto & Yuiga defeated Akito, Hiroshi Fukuda & Hikari Minami when Takanashi pinned Fukuda with a Cradle (8:11).
3. School System Vs Dissidents: Sanshiro Takagi, Takao Soma, Shiro Koshinaka & Masashi Aoyagi defeated Hiro Saito, Tomo Matsunaga, Kay Ishii & Hoshi Tanki when Soma pinned Matsunaga with the Boma Ye (10:02).
4. Aim! Best Tag Team Wrestling Grand Prix: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi defeated Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato when Okabayashi pinned Nakazawa with the Golem Splash (13:02).
5. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) defeated Makoto Oishi & Masao Inoue when Urano pinned Oishi with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:59).
*V3 for Crying Wolf.
6. Special Tag Match: El Generico & HARASHIMA defeated Kenny Omega & KUDO when Generico pinned KUDO with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (21:19).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dino (c) defeated Antonio Honda with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver (31:19).
*V1 for Danshoku Dino.

Right after Danshoku Dino defeated Antonio Honda in the main event, the champion called Hikaru Sato into the ring and asked if he wants to get the next KO-D Title shot. Dino told Sato “I want to do it with you”. Sato said he is not gay but he loves Danshoku Dino. They were then interrupted by the ghost of Muscle Sakai! The ghost announced that Muscle Sakai will return to wrestling for the DDT 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall! However, his return will be in the dark match for the event.

Kenny Omega was upset over losing in the semi-main event. He told the audience that DDT is his family and he wants to defend his AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title in the company again. However, his next defence has already been set in All Japan. He will take on Shuji Kondo on 20th March. Shigehiro Irie then entered the ring and asked Kenny if he could challenge him for the belt on 11th March when DDT returns to Korakuen Hall. When asked how much he weighs, Irie said “I am 115kg.” Kenny asked him again. Irie then said “I am 110kg”. Tsurumi Amon stepped in to make his decision. If Irie drops 10kg in weight then Amon will try to negotiate with All Japan to set up a Jr. Heavy Title match in DDT for April 1st. That is of course if Kenny will still be the champion at the time.

Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma came out to challenge Crying Wolf for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after the Champions earned their third successful defence. The title match is booked for 11/3 in Korakuen Hall.

This year’s Anytime & Anywhere Contract Battle Royal will take place in Korakuen Hall on the 1st April.

A 10 minute Ironman Battle Royal will take place on 3rd March for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. The competitors are Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Michael Nakazawa, Poison JULIE Sawada, Gorgeous Matsuno, Tigers Mask and Kana. Notable in her absence is the current champion, Miyuki Matsuyama. She is still the champion as I type this.

DJ Nira will have his very own Best Of DVD released on 11th March. Only 1000 copies will be produced and they will be available at DDT shows and their online store.

DDT “TRULY ULTRA SUPER BAZOOKA!” Results

February 11, 2012

DDT “TRULY ULTRA SUPER BAZOOKA!”, 11/02/2012
Nagoya Arsenal Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma defeated Kengo Takai & Michio Kageyama when Soma pinned Kageyama with the Boma Ye (10:18).
2. DJ Nira defeated Michael Nakazawa with a Triangle Choke (7:50).
3. HARASHIMA & Mr. #6 defeated Masa Takanashi & Shota when HARASHIMA pinned Shota with the Somato (8:41).
4. Kenny Omega, El Generico & Sexxxy Eddy defeated Makoto Oishi, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda when Eddy pinned Fukuda with the SEX On The Beach (12:47).
5. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Urano pinned Ishii with a Small Package (18:20).
*V2 for Crying Wolf.
6. Memphis Last Man Standing Loser Leaves Town Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Antonio Honda by KO with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver (20:24).

Antonio Honda’s defeat in the main event means that he is now banished from Nagoya. Danshoku Dino meanwhile won a free overnight stay in the city. Things are not looking good for the challenger. Dino has technically defeated Honda in both of their non-title matches and has all of the momentum going into their 19/2 KO-D Title match in Korakuen Hall.

The injury bug is spreading across the DDT locker room. Tomomitsu Matsunaga had to miss this show after suffering from acute enteritis. DEP wrestler Michio Kageyama took his place in the opening match.

Dino Vs Honda, Dream Gaijin Trio, Sanshiro’s Cult Of Personality

January 31, 2012

DDT “NON-FIX 2.4”, 04/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. KUDO Vs DJ Nira
2. Makoto Oishi & Akito Vs Shota & Rion Mizuki
3. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Yasu Urano & Keita Yano
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa
5. Kenny Omega & Masa Takanashi Vs HARASHIMA & Hayato “Jr” Fujita
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda

Danshoku Dino is already preparing for new challenges justs days after becoming the new KO-D Openweight Champion. He already had his first defence lined up for 19/2 in Korakuen Hall as his close friend and rival Antonio Honda called for the first title shot. In a rare booking decision, DDT has set up two non-title matches between Dino and Honda in Shin-Kiba and Nagoya before their Korakuen match takes place. Both matches will have stipulations that will be decided by DDT General Manager Tsurumi Amon at the shows. The matches will feel very special to Dino, Honda and Amon due to their time spent together in the now defunct MUSCLE sub-brand.

Meanwhile, “NON-FIX 2.4” will see Hayato “Jr” Fujita of Michinoku Pro fame make his first ever appearance for DDT. His partner on the night is HARASHIMA, who is looking for a shot at Kenny Omega and his AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. However, it could be Fujita who could wriggle his way into title contention if everything goes his way during the match.

DDT “TRULY ULTRA SUPER BAZOOKA!”, 11/02/2012

5. Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

DDT is advertising a “Dream Gaijin Trio” coming together in the form of Kenny Omega, El Generico & Sexxxy Eddy. This matches comes just over one week before Omega and Generico find themselves on opposite sides of a big Tag Team match.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2012”, 19/02/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. School System Vs Dissidents: Sanshiro Takagi, Takao Soma, Shiro Koshinaka & Masashi Aoyagi Vs X, X, X & X
2. Special Tag Match: Kenny Omega & KUDO Vs El Generico & HARASHIMA
3. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Masao Inoue
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Antonio Honda

For those who have followed DDT for years, you would know that Sanshiro Takagi is a huge WWE fan. He loves to emulate his favourite Superstars and many of his ideas over the years have been inspired by what goes on in the WWE ring every Monday and Friday night. So, can you guess the inspiration for his latest scheme? Judging by the photo above, of course you can.

So far this year, Takagi has commented on DDT recently becoming stagnant and a little bit boring. He blames Tsurumi Amon for letting this happen while being in charge of looking over the shows. So his solution to this problem is to form a dissident group to cause some chaos and annoy Amon into doing a better job. Takagi already brought Takao Soma into the group and recently revealed that Shiro Koshinaka & Masashi Aoyagi would be coming over to help him out. Tsurumi’s response is to find his own disciplined group of wrestlers to stop Takagi.This will lead to an 8-Man Tag Team mach at Korakuen Hall to see who will win the battle between chaos and good behaviour.

NJPW/CMLL “NJPW PRESENTS CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA 2012”, 21/01/12
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,950 Fans – Super No Vacancy

TAKA Michinoku & Taichi defeated Danshoku Dino & Maximo when Taichi pinned Taichi with a Horizontal Cradle (8:04).

One year after teaming together, Danshoku Dino returned to New Japan to team up with the pink mohawked Luchador Maximo once again for the New Japan & CMLL co-production of “FANTASTICA MANIA”. Before their match with TAKA Michinoku & Taichi even began, Dino tried to kiss Milano Collection AT at the commentator’s table. Milano avoided Dino by dragging another commentator in his place for the kiss. Even though Dino and Maximo got along fabulously and recieved chants of “Maxi-Dino” from the fans, their efforts could not defeat TAKA & Taichi. Dino & Maximo let bygones be bygones and both kissed the referee at the same time after the match. Dino then chased Taichi into the locker room.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012”, 29/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno & Rion Mizuki Vs DJ Nira & Shota

6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Danshoku Dino last held the KO-D Openweight Title in 2005. It was his only KO-D Title reign and since then he has had around six shots at the belt. KUDO will break the record for most KO-D Title defences if he defeats Dino.

DDT “TRULY ULTRA SUPER BAZOOKA!”, 11/02/2012
Nagoya Arsenal Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

The former champs get their rematch with Crying Wolf. Unsurprisingly, no one has been able to match the strength of Yuji Hino so far. Will Keisuke Ishii have discovered a fatal flaw to exploit after his Korakuen Hall match with Hino?

UNION “UNION PRO WRESTLING IN OSAKA”, 12/02/2012
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai Vs Black Buffalo & Tigers Mask
2. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda

New Year Matches, Mio’s Sexxxy Problem

January 8, 2012

DDT “DDT MUSIC!”, 14/01/2012
Osaka Yodogawa Ward Center

1. Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Antonio Honda & Keita Yano Vs Michael Nakazawa & Shoichi Uchida Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Takao Soma

4. Big New Year’s Match: Yasu Urano Vs Masa Takanashi
5. Big New Year’s Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs DJ Nira
6. Big New Year’s Match: Kenny Omega Vs Shigehiro Irie
7. KUDO, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA, Hikaru Sato & Keisuke Ishii

Some of the results from today’s Shin-Kiba 1st RING event has led to the card for next week’s Osaka show being reshuffled. The rivalry brewing between Crying Wolf and certain members of the DDT roster will continue with Yasu Urano facing Masa Takanashi and Daisuke Sasaki taking on the bug brute Yuji Hino. This is all setting up the KO-D Tag Team Title match which is mentioned below. Meanwhile the “First 4 Way Match Of The Year” is now the “First 3 Way Tag Match Of The Year” with Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Takao Soma representing DDT, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano representing Crying Wolf and Michael Nakazawa & Shoichi Uchida representing a DDT and Osaka Pro alliance.

DDT “IN CHIBA 2012”, 22/01/2012
Chiba Port Arena

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
3. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takao Soma
4. Lottery Bonus Match! Angel Vs Devil Showdown!: DJ Nira Vs Jaki Numawzawa
5. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuki Hirata
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki

With Daisuke Sasaki scoring the pin on Yasu Urano at Shin-Kiba, he and Masa Takanashi get the first shot at the new KO-D Tag Team Champions.

As the winner of the 2012 New Year Rumble, DJ Nira now has to face Jaki Numazawa from Big Japan. Will his Rocket Punch be able to take down the “Black Angel”?

Sanshiro Takagi’s call for wrestlers wanting to join his new “anti-establishment” unit has been answered by Takao Soma. The two are no strangers to each other as Soma was a part of Takagi’s TKG48 unit.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012”, 29/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Hikari Minami) Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano
2. New Year Dream Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Hino
3. New Year Dream Match: Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA
4. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Homoiro Clover Z is doing pretty well for itself so far. Win or lose, they will still hold possession of the KO-D Openweight Title after the main event. If KUDO beats Danshoku Dino, he will set the record for most KO-D Title defences. However, now that they are being pitted against Crying Wolf a more threatening challenge could be just around the corner for them.

UNION “FORTUNE DEMONS 2012”, 10/02/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mio Shirai Vs Sexxxy Eddy
2. Ken Ohka Vs El Generico
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka

Mio Shirai is going to be in for a long night and I’m sure Sexxxy Eddy would agree with me (but not in the way I meant).

*V5 for KUDO.

An audience of over 2,000 fans packed Korakuen Hall on New Year’s Eve to witness a marathon of pro wrestling that will lead into 2012. DDT was up first to end their eventful year with a big bang. KUDO tied the record for most defences of the KO-D Openweight Championship by defeating his rival MIKAMI in the main event. Ladders were legal for the match but even with the advantage of using his favourite weapon, MIKAMI couldn’t get the job done. KUDO continues his role of leading the company towards Budokan Hall for DDT’s 15th Anniversary show. However, his next challenger was also revealed. Danshoku Dino wants a shot at the belt and will get it when DDT holds its first 2012 Korakuen show on 29th January.

The bizarre Idol War between Homoiro Clover Z and the 48 Group reached its conclusion with Danshoku Dino leading his multi-colored troops to victory over Sanshiro Takagi and his “Bukkake Alliance” of splinter groups from around the world. Makoto Oishi was the sole survivor of the 10-Man Elimination Tag, pinning Takagi with the Tornado Clutch. He was given big hugs by his teammates for a job well done.

The Crying Wolf stable is quickly gaining ground in DDT with Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino winning the KO-D Tag Team Championship over Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Yuji Hino has now declared a full scale invasion on DDT. After the match, Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki came out to challenge the new champions for a title shot. Tsurumi Amon tried to prevent the match from happening because he thought the challenging team haven’t proven themselves but Urano & Hino accepted it. The two teams will meet at the 22/01 Chiba show.

This was the second championship Shigehiro Irie lost this week. He dropped the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to Kanjuro Matsuyama at an Osaka Pro two days ago. Tigers Mask is now the current champion.

Japanese musician Sunplaza Nakano was in attendance to announce he was recording the official anthem for DDT’s Budokan Hall show. He also performed the song “Runner” for the Runner Contra Runner match. I had a listen to both his version and the original song by BAKUFU-SLUMP. It’s a pretty good song. If you like the Eurobeat soundtrack in Initial D then you will like Sunplaza’s version.

It was announced that Hard Hit will return on 22nd March for a show at Shinjuku FACE, so the brand has not been retired. It is likely that Hikaru Sato will face Michael Nakazawa on the show as per the stipulation for their defeat to Antonio Honda & Keita Yano.
