“Thinking Of Summer Vacation” Card So Far

August 13, 2010

DDT “THINKING OF SUMMER VACATION 2010”
29/08/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Singles Match: Kenny Omega Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
2. KO-D Tag Team Title, 3 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) Vs Suicide Boyz (MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba) Vs Shiro Koshinaka & X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

The three big matches for DDT’s return to Korakuan Hall are set. HARASHIMA gets his first defence of the KO-D Openweight Title by taking on Daisuke Sasaki. The former Italian 4 Horsemen member won a four man tournament at the end of Beer Garden week to earn his title shot. Since the Horsemen disbanded, Sasaki found himself grouped with DDT’s rookies. A good performance against HARASHIMA might bring him up to the next stage of his career.

The team behind the “Greatest Title Run Ever” ™ faces its toughest challenge yet. Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa put their KO-D Tag Team Championships on the line in a Three Way match featuring one of DDT’s most established tag teams. The Suicide Boyz of MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba became the No. 1 Contenders by winning the Tag Team Gauntlet at Sumo Hall and have already held the DDT Tag belts twice together. If that wasn’t enough of a challenge for Takagi & Sawa, the second team will be made up of Hip Attack master Shiro Koshinaka and a mystery partner. The champs already have a victory over Koshinaka, when he teamed with Mammoth Honda at Beer Garden. This time Koshinaka might have a trick up his sleeve. I can’t confirm it but I think earlier today Danshoku Dino expressed great interest in teaming with Koshinaka. I wonder why…

The Jr. Heavyweight relationship between DDT and New Japan brings us a rematch from this year’s Best Of The Super Juniors. Kenny Omega came out of the tournament with some big wins, including one over Ryusuke Taguchi. Now Taguchi is heading over to DDT to avenge that loss. Personally, I am hoping that matches like these will eventually lead to an Apollo 55 Vs Golden Lovers IWGP Tag Title match somewhere down the line.

DDT “RUINS PRO-WRESTLING”
30/07/2010
Moriya Friend Park, Ibaraki
120 Fans

1. KO-D Tag Team Title & Moriya Tag Team Title, 3 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa (c) defeated HARASHIMA & Hiroyo Matsumoto and Kenji Abe & Mitsuhiro Yoshida (c) when Sawa submitted Yoshida with the Octopus Hold (16:11).
*V8 For Takagi & Sawa.

The “Greatest Title Run Ever” ™ moves on with great momentum as Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa once again triumphed in another DDT “Anywhere Pro-Wrestling” show. This time the location was a community centre in Moriya City, Ibaraki. It was a small venue and there were only two floor mats used to represent the squared circle. The match was a Three Way Tag Team bout that was originally meant to be non-title. But Kenji Abe & Mitsuhiro Yoshida wanted to put their Moriya Tag Team Titles on the line to unify them with the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Takagi & Sawa agreed to the challenge and put their belts on the line. Rounding up the competing teams were the duo of HARASHIMA & joshi wrestler Hiroyo Matsumoto. Tomimitsu Matsunaga served as the referee for this match. Weapons that were used in the match included Sanshiro’s guitar, a trash can, a cardboard box, a wooden board, a squeeky plastic mallet and electric clippers. Yoshida was the unfortunate victim of the clippers and was left with a few shears across his scalp. At one point, Takagi & Sawa attempted to do the Golden Shower (Double 450 Splashes) but were cut off by Kenji Abe. The three way brawl traveled outside to the building’s backyard. A large hole was dug out and Sawa struck Yoshida into the hole with an Irabu Punch. Sawa leapt into the hole and applied the match winning Octopus Hold to make it V8 for the KO-D Tag Champs along with a new pair of belts to add to their collection. After the match, Yoshida had the rest of his hair shaved off.

This is the eigth successful defence for the champs. I lost count along the way and originally thought it was their ninth.
