Three prizes are on offer for the Anytime & Anywhere Contract Royal Rumble. There are two contracts hanging above the ring which allow the people holding them to challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title at any show from April to the 15th Anniversary event in August. It is up to the competitors to climb the ladder provided, grab the contract and get out of the ring with it in his possession to keep it. The winner of the Royal Rumble itself gets a KO-D Title shot on 4th May.

While his tag team partner is competing in the main event, Takao Soma will be teaming up with Genba Hirayanagi from Pro Wrestling NOAH to take on the Do Hentai Dan team of Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa. Genba previously appeared in DDT back in 2009 with Akira Taue where they fought Nakazawa & Sanshiro Takagi in a match that featured Nakazawa stepping in a bear trap.

DDT will be holding their 2012 Strategy Presentation before the show. Members of the roster will also be available to exchange business cards with ticket holders after the show is over.


Upcoming DDT Lineups

DDT “NON-FIX 3.18 SPECIAL”, 18/03/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next KO-D Title Challenger: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Masa Takanashi

Danshoku Dino’s top two contenders battle it out to see who gets to face him for the KO-D Openweight Title in April.

DDT “WRESTLING TONKOTSU 2012”, 20/03/2012

2. Rion Mizuki, Azul Dragon & Kubo Kibo Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira

7. KO-D Tag Team Title: Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & KUDO

The little stunt pulled by Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma yesterday is not going over well with the DDT General Manager. Takagi & Soma, who have clearly been watching one too many CM Punk videos, are currently rebelling against the establishment so they can make DDT more interesting. In this case, the establishment is Tsurumi Amon and only Tsurumi Amon. After winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles on Sunday, the new champions quickly had their first title defence at a GUTS World event a few hours later. Takagi explains that he wants to promote DDT and defending the KO-D Tag Title in other promotions helps his cause. Amon is pissed off at Takagi for constantly ignoring his decisions and making title matches without his permission. Takagi has also promised to have a KO-D Tag Title match in STYLE-E on 17th March. Amon is already sending the big guns after the champs to get the belts back as soon as possible. Homoiro Clover Z teammates Danshoku Dino and KUDO will team up and face Takagi & Soma in the main event of next week’s show in Hakata Star Lanes.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2012”, 01/04/2012

Also appearing on the show is the debut of Tetsuya Endo and Finnish wrestler Nico Valentine, who previously wrestled in Japan for SMASH. DDT will also be hosting a Strategy Presentation for its plans throughout the rest of 2012.

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.

Sanshiro Teams With CIMA & TAKA In Dragon Gate

March 1, 2012

DRAGON GATE “TRUTH GATE”, 3/1/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,850 Fans

CIMA, TAKA Michinoku & Sanshiro Takagi defeated Akira Tozawa, BxB Hulk & Cyber Kong when CIMA pinned Kong with a Dos Caras Clutch (20:08).

Today’s appearance in Dragon Gate turned out to be a successful one for Sanshiro Takagi. The DDT president teamed up with K-DOJO president TAKA Michinoku and Dragon Gate’s Open The Dream Gate ace CIMA to face the newly renamed MAD BLANKEY unit of Akira Tozawa, BxB Hulk & Cyber Kong. Despite the victory, CIMA’s grudge with the former Blood Warriors is far from over. Takagi told CIMA after the match that he can come back to Dragon Gate anytime CIMA needs his help.

To celebrate the Japanese tradition of White Day, where men give gifts to women one month after St. Valentine’s Day, DDT will be holding a contest for its more handsome members of the roster. At the end of the show, all of the female fans leaving Korakuen Hall will receive candy made by the wrestlers themselves in return for their ticket stubs. A prize will be given to the wrestler who collects the most ticket stubs at the end of the contest.

Gota Ihashi makes his long delayed return to wrestling to face KUDO in the opening match. If the name sounds familiar, it is because Gota Ihashi origianlly began as a low card parody of Kota Ibushi. He is a chubby wrestler with only a couple years of experience but he is able to duplicate Ibushi’s Low Kick, Standing Moonsault combo. Ihashi suffered ligament damage to both of his knees in March 2010 and has been out of action ever since. However, he stayed under contract with DDT and became a chef for one of their restaurants. He is now finally cleared to enter the ring once again.

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

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

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.

Tsurumi Amon held a broadcast over Ustream yesterday to announce the members for his team set to face Sanshiro Takagi’s Anti-Establishment unit on 19th February. DDT already revealed veteran wrestler Hiro Saito as part of the team along with Tomo(mitsu) Matsunaga. Now Amon has added Kay (Keisuke) Ishii and Hoshi(tango) Tanki to round out the squad.

The broadcast also included an appearance by Masa Takanashi. Amon told him that he, Tsukasa Fujimoto and a third partner will face Homoiro Clover Z in a 6-Man Tag Team match at the show. Amon told Masa to find himself a third partner or else he and Fujimoto would be forced to wrestle in a 3-On-2 Handicap match. Masa pleaded for anybody watching the broadcast to call his phone and join his team. Eventually he got a phone call from joshi wrestler Yuiga, who accepted his call for help. Afterwards, Masa told Amon that Yuiga is a “Judo Powerhouse” and she will target Homoiro’s main judoka Hiroshi Fukuda during the match.
