BJW/UNION “TBA”, 29/03/2012
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Yuko Miyamoto

The first match of the BJW/Union show has been announced. The current co-holders of the BJW Tag Team Championship will battle each other in a Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match. This will be the first time a death match will be held in Shinjuku FACE. Union had to got through a lot of negotiations with the building’s owners to allow the match to happen. They came to a compromise that only lighttubes will be used in the match and not the more extreme items Big Japan is associated with.

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.

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.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012” Results

January 29, 2012

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012”, 29/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,388 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: DJ Nira & Shota defeated Gorgeous Matsuno & Rion Mizuki when Shota pinned Mizuki with an Inside Cradle (7:41).

2b. Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Shigehiro Irie & Poison JULIE Sawada when Takanashi pinned Sawada with a Jackknife Hold (7:32).
3. Rock & Roll Death Match: Yasu Urano, A.YAZAWA & Keita Yano defeated Makoto Oishi, Akito & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Hikari Minami) when YAZAWA pinned Fukuda with a Super Kick (14:12).
4. Yuji Hino defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Fuckin’ Bomb (10:46).
5. Kenny Omega defeated HARASHIMA with the One-Winged Angel (21:09).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dino defeated KUDO (c) with the Danshoku Tornado (15:37).
*KUDO fails in V6. Danshoku Dino becomes the 38th KO-D Openweight Champion!

It took him just over 6 years to finally get the sweet, sweet taste triumph again. Danshoku Dino now rules the roost in DDT, winning the KO-D Openweight Title tonight for the second time in his career. He defeated his fellow Homorio Clover Z member KUDO with a brand new finisher called the Danshoku Tornado, a Twisting Moonsault. The match begun with a perverse take on the infamous Antonio Inoki Vs Muhammed Ali fight, with KUDO keeping his back to the mat and kicking Dino in the legs while the challenger kept thrusting his hips towards the champion. While KUDO did score hits with a Swan Dive Missile Kick and the Buzzsaw Kick, Dino incapacitated him with the Lip Lock and Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver. KUDO was able to kick out of that but Dino immediately followed with his new finisher to seal the deal.

After the match Dino took the mic and said it was his dream to main event Budokan Hall. He was interrupted by Antonio Honda, who was still able to attend the show despite “falling ill” during the week. Honda told a story about seeing Dino wrestle in a HWWA indie show ten years ago. He also brought up the memory of the MUSCLE sub-brand, a place both Dino and Honda played a big role in creating. Honda then challenged Dino for a title shot. Tsurumi Amon gave the green light and announced the match will take place when DDT returns to Korakuen Hall on 19th February. Dino finished up by saying that being gay is the strength of his power, he will dye the Budokan with his Danshoku style, his libido will become stronger as we get closer to the 15th Anniversary show and that he has the ghost of MUSCLE looking over him.

Meanwhile KUDO said that tonight was a very frustrating loss to take. However, he will not give up fighting for the KO-D Title and he is also looking forward to new challenges. One of them will be the chance to team with Kenny Omega to take on El Generico & HARASHIMA on 19/2.

HARASHIMA prepared himself well for Kenny Omega by avoiding the Croyt’s Wrath finisher. Unfortunately he forgot about Omega’s new finisher, the One-Winged Angel. Kenny won the match and afterwards said there is no time to rest when you are a champion. After he beats Kaz Hayashi in All Japan next week, Omega wants to defend the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title against HARASHIMA in DDT. HARASHIMA complimented Omega for gaining experience in so many different wrestling organisations and that he himself felt the pride of a champion when fighting him.

Yuji Hino defeated Keisuke Ishii in a preview of their KO-D Tag Team Title match in Nagoya next month. His pure power was too much for Ishii to take. Afterward Hino just said that 2012 will be an “interesting year”. While Shigehiro Irie checked on him, Ishii said he felt shame for losing to someone from KAIENTAI-DOJO. Irie stood by his friend and said he would never wrestle for K-DOJO.

Despite losing to Crying Wolf in the Rock & Roll Death Match, Makoto Oishi challenged Yasu Urano to put the KO-D Tag Team Title on the line against him and a partner of his choosing on 19/2. Urano accepted and Makoto introduced his partner, Masao Inoue! Makoto nicknamed Inoue the “Silly Little Green Giant” and begun a short interview with him, idol group style. Inoue didn’t have much to say in the interveiw so Makoto kept finishing his sentences for him.

Daisuke Sasaki will be taking an extended break from DDT. He will be travelling over to Mexico and will wrestle there for a while. He has not decided how long the excurison will be.

Sanshiro Takagi said he wanted to add more wrestlers to his “Anti-League Players Association” in the next couple of weeks. It looks like this storyline will slowly brew all the way up to the 15th Anniversary show. Both Takagi & Takao Soma had their bodies covered in the same tattoos CM Punk has.

Night, Night. Don’t Let The Dino Bite

January 23, 2012

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

4. Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Hino
5. Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA
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
3. Big New Year’s Match: Yuji Hino Vs Daisuke Sasaki
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).

UNION “1…2…3…UNION!” Results

January 3, 2012

UNION “1…2…3…UNION!”, 03/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,130 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Loser Must Follow Winner On Twitter: RG defeated Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) when Kazama accidentaly hit Fukuda with a chair (7:07).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Masao Orihara & Big Rude defeated Vladimir Nagai & Ivan Markov (w/ Bonnie) and Kengo Mashimo & Madoka when Morohashi pinned Markov with the Diving Headbutt (8:31).
3. Americas World Mixed Tag Team Titles: NOSAWA Rongai & Io Shirai (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai when Rongai pinned Ohka with the Total Package (10:21).
*V1 for NOSAWA Rongai & Io Shirai.
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi defeated KENSO & Yoshiaki Yago when Takagi pinned Yago with the Sitdown Himawari Bomb (14:10).
5. Ayumi Kurihara (c) defeated Cherry with the Exploder Suplex (12:54).
6. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Daisuke Sekimoto & Kazuki Hashimoto when Ishikawa pinned Hashimoto with the Running Knee Lift (14:03).
7. DDT Extreme Title – TLC (Tonkachi, Ladders & Chairs): Isami Kodaka defeated El Generico (c) with the Rasengan (19:27).
*El Generico fails in V4. Isami Kodaka becomes the 17th DDT Extreme Champion!

Union had plenty to celebrate at the beginning of 2012 with Isami Kodaka winning back the DDT Extreme Title from El Generico in a Tonkachi, Ladders & Chairs match. After the hard fought match, Isami told Generico how fun it was to beat him in such an extreme battle. He then wished Generico farewell but was interrupted by Ken Ohka. Generico was challenged by Ohka to a match on 10th February, so the Generic Luchador will be sticking around in Union for at least a little while longer. Meanwhile Isami took centre stage and told the fans he now shared a bond with Kengo Mashimo from K-DOJO, KUDO from DDT and Abdullah Kobayashi from Big Japan. They are all champions who love to wrestle for their companies. Generico then congratulated Isami and said he is a true warrior deserving of the championship as the show drew to a close.

The first match for BIG “G” BANG was a rousing success. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie overcame the Strong BJ side of Daisuke Sekimoto & Kazuki Hashimoto. With this victory they gain momentum towards their future challenges.

Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO faced off for the first time since their No Rope Exploding Barbed Wire match at “WRESTLE EXPO 2006”. Takagi teamed with the brand new NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champion Tsuyoshi Kikuchi to defeat KENSO and Yoshiaki Yago. The aftermath was very eventful as Kikuchi announced he was joining Union as a full-time wrestler. Takagi joked that Kikuchi had been thinking over his decision since last February. Takagi also talked about how he is so busy now that there needs to be a new Sanshiro Takagi to help take some of his workload. Takagi’s music hit and out came Keizo Matsuda of IWA Japan fame dressed as Takagi and performing his signature entrance.

NOSAWA Rongai & Io Shirai made a successful first defence of their Americas Mixed Tag Titles over the tsundere team of Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai. Despite their defeat, Mio admitted that she and Ken were starting to gel as a team. But she was adamant that it doesn’t change the dynamic of their “master and servant” relationship.

Big Morohashi has taken inspiration from the late, great Rick Rude and changed his ring name to Big Rude. After winning the 3 Way Tag match with Masao Orihara, the former Seiya Morohashi told his opponents “If you want to become the world’s best villain, you have to be rude!”

The gratuitous Twitter battle between Hiroshi Fukuda and RG opened the show. RG sang to Fukuda’s mentor and valet Rumi Kazama before the match began but the lyrics were about how overweight she was. Rumi tried to get revenge during the match with a steel chair, but RG ducked and Fukuda took the chairshot instead. As a result of his defeat, Fukuda and all of his 611 followers must now follow RG’s Twitter account.

It wouldn’t be a New Year’s Eve puroresu indie show without a giant clusterfuck in the main event. The Ken Ohka Vs Ryuichi Sekine team challenge turned out to be a massive 74 person tag team match to close out the show. Ohka’s team won out in the end.

The Danshoku Dino Produce was weird. The match itself was a Royal Rumble match. But before it begun, a Samurai TV! assistant director (who oddly enough looked a lot like Tsurumi Amon) invited DDT President Sanshiro Takagi, K-DOJO founder TAKA Michinoku and Big Japan executive Eiji Tosaka down to the ring. The director challenged them not to laugh during the match. If anyone of them did laugh, either Michael Nakazawa or Tomomitsu Matsunaga would run down to the ring and spank them with a paddle. The director then called in DDT’s Kazuki Hirata and BJW’s Kazuki Hashimoto to try and make them laugh. Hashimoto was only able to make Hirata laugh, which caused him to get spanked with a paddle. That made Hashimoto laugh, which caused him to get spanked. The director said a joke and made TAKA laugh, so he got paddled too. Highlights (for a lack of a better word) from the match include Yuji Okabayashi refereeing the match while wearing a referee shirt with a midriff, Karate Brahman performing a song, Mio Shirai introducing herself as a lesbian, Atsushi Ohashi entering the match tied up in bondage rope, Kaji Tomato dancing with more and more wrestlers as they entered the match, (including CZW’s Sabian), Kaji Pot-au-feu (Ivan Markov) eliminating himself with a Tornado DDT, Okabayashi being unable to count above the number 6 and Takagi, TAKA and Tosaka getting constantly paddled for laughing at the nonsense directed at them.

*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.
