6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the One-Winged Angel (26:19).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.

Let it be known, the Kamehameha cannot beat the Hadouken. Kenny Omega defeated Isami Kodaka in a chaotic TLC Falls Count Anywhere match. After the match Kenny thanked Union for the fun he had wrestling there and said goodbye, leaving with the DDT Extreme Title. Nobody was nominated to be the No. 1 Contender so it is possible the championship will return to DDT full time in the future. Kodaka was very upset he could not win. He was raised to be a Union Warrior but felt he wasn’t good enough to represent them. Naomi Susan gave him words of encouragement and promised he will get to do fun things with wrestling. The Nazo Fukumen tried to attack the Union Sekigun after the show but they were easily dismantled.

It took eight years but Cherry has finally become a Union champion after winning the Fly To Everywhere Title from Kaori Yoneyama. It was a 3 Way Elimination match with Nazo Fukumen B also involved. The masked woman was eliminated early when interference from Nazo Fukumen A backfired and got her Speared by accident. Cherry was then able to pin Yoneyama with the Fantasy Illusion. Although the 38 year old considers herself an enemy to young people, she has learned it is important to accept her age and not let that get in the way of her dreams.

Kyohei Wada had the honour of trying to officiate the mess that was the Aipoke World Title decision match. Everyone involved wanted to win the attention of idol Aino Kishi but FUMA seemed to be the most enamoured with her. Things went bad for FUMA when Sanshiro Takagi and Jun Kasai began calling him a smelly virgin as they hit him. Hiroshi Fukuda stole the win after pinning FUMA with a School Boy. Fukuda proposed to Kishi afterwards but she turned him down, explaining that Kyohei Wada is more her type. Fukuda wanted to kiss her so she would change her mind but he was slapped unconscious instead. Meanwhile, Shigehiro Irie could be seen in the bleachers dancing along to Kishi’s exit music “Banana Mango High School” by Ebisu Muscats. Your KO-D Champion, ladies and gentlemen…

Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang were able to immobilise SAGAT with a mystical sealing ward until Ryu Gouma came to the rescue and freed him from the trap. SAGAT cleared got revenge on Shiryu by biting him in the neck. After winning the match, Gouma legally declared SAGAT a human being even though he still looked and acted like a Chinese vampire. That’s not all, Shiryu began to jump and hop like a vampire when he regained conciousness.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2013” Results

May 3, 2013

irie-ibushi

DDT “MAX BUMP 2013”, 03/05/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,819 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Tatsuhiko Yoshino & Aggressor defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Guanchulo when Yoshino pinned Guanchulo with a German Suplex (7:36).
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Yuji Hino & Hoshitango defeated Akito, Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita when Sasaki pinned Endo with the Now Or Never (12:01).

3. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Satoshi Kajiwara defeated Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma when Nakajima pinned Soma with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:42).
4. MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & El Samurai when Nira pinned Samurai with a Cradle (9:42).
*DJ Nira wins El Samurai’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
5. KUDO defeated Antonio Honda with a Buzzsaw Kick (13:37).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) by Referee Stoppage when Sato submitted Urano with the Reverse Cross Armbreaker (16:38).
*UraShima fail in V5. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi become the 47th KO-D Tag Team Champions!
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Kota Ibushi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (18:57).
*V3 for Shigehiro Irie.

If it wasn’t clear before, it’s clear now. Shigehiro Irie is the man to beat in DDT. Today Irie scored a major victory over Kota Ibushi, knocking off his toughest challenger to keep the KO-D Openweight Title. Ibushi refused a handshake after the match but made up for it by raising Irie’s arm and admitting defeat. Daisuke Sasaki, MIKAMI and DJ Nira all came out taunting Irie with their Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts but none of them wanted to cash it in just yet. Since there was no clear challenger for the belt, Tsurumi Amon decided that HARASHIMA and Hikaru Sato will have a No. 1 Contender’s match in Osaka on 12th May. The winner will face Irie for the title in Hiroshima on 26th May. Irie misunderstood and thought he will have to defend the title in a 2 Vs 1 Handicap match. He relaxed when it was explained to him that wasn’t what was going to happen.

The KO-D Tag Team Championship is the first title Yukio Sakaguchi has ever won. He was very happy to win it.

DJ Nira was able to pin El Samurai when Michael Nakazawa pulled off Samurai’s mask with the Ultimate Venom Arm. Samurai used Nakazawa’s tights to cover his face but Nira capitalised and rolled him over for the pin.

MIKAMI announced a one night 8-Man tournament for Cruiser’s Game 11 in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 2nd June. The tournament will be a celebration of Jr. Heavyweight wrestling.

Street Fighter 2: TLC Falls Count Anywhere Edition

April 27, 2013

isami-kamehameha

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2013”, 03/05/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gabaiji-chan Vs Saint Seiya Rion Vs El Hijo del Goro
1. Ryu Gouma & SAGAT Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Nazo Fukumen A, Nazo Fukumen M & Nazo Fukumen K (w/ Nazo Fukumen P) Vs Kengo Ohka, Madoka & Menso~re Oyaji
3. Aipoke World Title Decision – Idea Pocket Special 3 Way Match: FUMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Jun Kasai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – Triple Threat Match: Kaori Yoneyama (c) Vs Cherry Vs Nako Fukumen B
5. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Daichi Kazato Vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Great Kojika & Hideyoshi Kamitani
6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match has been decided. Isami Kodaka won the Extreme Title in a Tonkaichi, Ladders & Chairs Match against El Generico over a year ago. He wanted to face Kenny in the same match but with tables instead of the giant hammer. However since Kenny is a Street Fighter, a Falls Count Anywhere rule is now added to the match. Isami revealed he has learned the Kamehameha to counter Kenny’s Hadouken. He thinks the Hadouken has a fatal weakness that the Kamehameha does not possess. The ladder Isami wants to use is claimed to be 1.5 times higher than the type he usually uses in matches. It is a ladder high enough to poke the heavens.

The Nazo Fukumen group believe their token female member will win the Fly To Everywhere Title and they compared it to the Battle of Sekigahara, a decisive battle that was fought in 1600. The Triple Threat match will be first fall to a finish.

Choun-Shiryu demonstrated a weakness of the recently converted Chinese vampire SAGAT. When Shiryu sticks a mystical sealing ward onto SAGAT’s forehead, the vampire freezes on the spot. Now knowing that he can render one of his opponents useless, it will make his mission to transform Ryu Gouma into a vampire easier. China has many problems right now so Shiryu wants to have a lawyer under his control if anything goes wrong. That’s why he wants to turn Gouma into a vampire.

Seiya Morohashi, who was forced to withdraw from Union after losing a Mask Contra Withdraw match at the last show has been begging for his job back. He might be added to the dark match.

Union continues their partnership with Idea Pocket by introducing a new championship created by the AV company. The first Aipoke World Champion will be decided in a 4 Way match between FUMA, Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda who returns from exile after his Loser Leaves Town defeat last month. Fukuda’s box office success with Ultimate Superstars Action convinced Naomi Susan to give him a second chance and bring him back to Union just for this match.

There is also a deluxe prize for the champion. He will win a date with Idea Pocket idol Aino Kishi.

DDT “PLANT WRESTLING”, 29/05/2013
Miyaji Ironworks

Street Wrestling Match: Kazuyoshi Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi’s Elite Street Troops

DDT returns to the factory in Miyaji for another bout of street wrestling and this time they are bringing Kazuyoshi Sakai with them. Sakai was a part time wrestler for MUSCLE between 2005 and 2010. He mostly wrestled as a Razor Ramon HG parody during his time there. He has since returned for one more match at last year’s “BUDOKAN PETER PAN” show. Sanshiro Takagi is bringing together an elite team of street wrestlers to take on Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. I will be shocked if one of those elite wrestlers is not Kota Ibushi.

Brian Cannon confronted Ken Ohka again to demand a rematch from the first Ganbare☆Wrestling event. However the stakes have been raised by making the rematch a Gachinko Cement Match. The two will fight on a mat placed on top of cement blocks. Cannon’s fandom of Jushin Liger is getting stronger as he now wears a homemade Liger costume underneath his suit.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is beginning to look like an island of misfit toys. Two failed trainees from other promotions have come into Ken Ohka’s promotion. Shinichiro Tominaga, the promising Union rookie from 2011 who quit the promotion after suffering a fractured forearm is back. His opponent Tomohiro Otani was invited to wrestle here by his friend Yumehito Imanari. Otani was a trainee for SMASH but never got anywhere due to “feeling broken.” Ganbare☆Wrestling is offering the two wrestlers a chance to redeem themselves.
