Upcoming DDT Cards for September & October

September 15, 2010

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2010”
26/09/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
1. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs KUDO & Yasu Urano
2. Trial Unit Gauntlet Match: MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Shigehiro Irie & Hoshitango Vs Rion Mizuki & Takao Soma Vs Keisuke Ishii & Yukihiro Abe
3. Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Great Kojika, Emi Sakura & Ultraman Robin
4. Muscle Sakai DDT Last Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Muscle Sakai
5. Special Singles Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

A pretty busy card for Korakuen Hall. The KO-D Tag Team Championships take the headline spot with Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino facing Disaster-BOX duo HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi. The result of this match might help determine the next challenger for HARASHIMA’s KO-D Openweight Title or even Dino’s DDT Extreme Title.

Kota Ibushi makes his return to the ring facing off against Daisuke Sasaki. Ibushi’s return from injury was spoiled by YOSHIHIKO at last week’s Camping Ground event. Here, Sasaki can add salt to the wounds with a major victory over the Golden Star that would springboard him back into title contention.

The last days of Muscle Sakai wrestling before his retirement now leads to his final match for the DDT brand against Sanshiro Takagi. While his retirement show won’t take place until a forthnight later, it will still be an emotional match for everyone involved.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation marks its first match as a group by taking on the random squad of the Great Kojika from Big Japan, Emi Sakura of Ice Ribbon and Ultraman Robin of Specialist Global Pro. Never knew Robin had his own promotion.

The fresh set of teams formed during the Battle Royal at Shin-Kiba earlier this month will all face each other in a Gauntlet match. No Engrish team names made yet though. Also Dick Togo and GENTARO have their first match together as a team against the former Tag Champs KUDO & Yasu Urano.

DDT “SAPPORO PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL”
10/10/2010
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Nunchucks & Nunchucks Board Death Match: Hiroki Vs Chiharu
2. Antonio Honda Vs Tomoya
3. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Takao Soma
4. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs DJ Nira
5. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Futoshi Miwa Vs Sanshiro Takagi, KUDO & Yukihiro Abe
6. Losers From 26/09 Tag Title Match Vs Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato
7. KO-D Tag Team Title: KO-D Tag Team Champions After 26/09 Vs MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba

The Suicide Boyz have been given a second chance to go after the KO-D Tag Titles. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba became the No. 1 Contenders at Sumo Hall, but their title match with Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa turned into a Three Way with Dino & Koshinaka thrown into the mix. It was Dino & Koshinaka who became champions while the Suicide Boyz were left cursing at the unfair decision of adding another team. To make it up to them, DDT has given MIKAMI & Toba another title shot and this time there will be no other teamds added to the mix. But who they face won’t be determined until the Korakuen Hall show takes place.

“WHO’S GONNA TOP?” Matches Added, DDT48 Standings, Sawada Injured, Ibushi Returning

August 31, 2010

Two matches have been announced for “Who’s Gonna Top? 2010” set to take place in Korakuen Hall on the 26th September. Our new KO-D Tag Team Champions already have their first defence lined up and it couldn’t be against a tougher team. Disaster BOX are the challengers with HARASHIMA looking to add another title to go along with the KO-D Openweight Title currently around his waist while another Tag Title reign would be just peaches for Toru Owashi. Probably the kind he can wear on his head. However, the odd couple of Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino were able to defeat two highly regarded teams in the DDT roster to become the champs. A successful first defence here will clear the highest profile challengers off the table for the time being.

The second match will be Muscle Sakai’s final appearance on the main DDT brand, and could there be any better choice than Sanshiro Takagi to be his opponent? With his retirement coming just over a week later, I look forward to seeing Sakai provide a lot of entertainment here before he’s gone for good.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2010”
26/09/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Muscle Sakai Last DDT Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Muscle Sakai
2. KO-D Tag Team Championship: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

As of 29th August 2010, the DDT48 Election standings are as follows:

01. HARASHIMA　(117 votes)
02. Danshoku Dino　(111 votes)
03. Kota Ibushi　(92 votes)
04. MIKAMI　(84 votes)
05. Sanshiro Takagi　(81 votes)
06. YOSHIHIKO　(78 votes)
07. Hikaru Sato　(77 votes)
08. Dick Togo　(74 votes)
09. Shigehiro Irie    (66 votes)
10. Kenny Omega　(60 votes)
11. Yasu Urano　(53 votes)
12. Michael Nakazawa    (51 votes)
13. KUDO & Antonio Honda　(48 votes)
15. Toru Owashi & Daisuke Sasaki　(39 votes)
17. Yukihiro Abe, Shuji Ishikawa & Cherry　(33 votes)
20. Takao Soma　(32 votes)
21. Keisuke Ishii　(30 votes)

The top three have received a huge boost in votes and it’s expected that DDT’s three most known names would be on top. Shigehiro Irie is the most notable drop and languishes in the middle of the pack. It’s becoming clear that the fight for the 18th spot will be the most frantic. A tie for the final spot at the end is starting to look likely.

Turns out Poison Sawada JULIE is injured. He’s gone into hibernation after receiving elbow surgery. No more rattling snake magic for a while then.

Kota Ibushi will make his return for the Campsite Pro Wrestling show on 12th September. So far only he and Sanshiro Takagi have been announced to compete.

“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.
