Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. World No. 1 Independent Tag Team Gauntlet: Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka Vs Shiori Asahi & Makoto Oishi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Masashi Takeda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hide Kubota & Yasu Kubota

Featured Promotions: BJW, DDT, Union, KAIENTAI DOJO, Freedoms, Michinoku Pro, 666, STYLE-E, Kouhaku Pro-Wrestling, Secret Base, GUTS World, Daiwa Entertainment Pro-Wrestling, Sportiva Entertainment

The annual New Year’s Eve Pro Indie Wrestling event in Korakuen Hall will be extra special this year. FIGHTING Samurai TV!, the home of DDT Dramatic Fantasia, BJW Deathmatch Wars, Occupation Of The Indies and other programming dedicated to pretty much every single active Japanese wrestling company you can think of, will be celebrating its 15th Anniversary this year and the big New Year’s Eve event will be hosting the celebrations. Mita Sayoko and Carlos The Mexican Mole, the hosts of Occuptation Of The Indies, will be responsible for looking over the card.

One of the early stories set up for the show is a conflict building up between Ken Ohka from Union and Ryuichi Sekine from K-DOJO. It has led both men forming seperate teams to face each other in a big challenge (or series of challenges) at the show. Both Ohka and Sekine have been told to go look for wrestlers from all across the Japanese indie scene and get them to join their respective side. The captain of the winning team will be rewarded with a special segment dedicated to him on a future episode of Occupation Of The Indies.

Full Tripleshot Cards, Homoiro Clover Z Auditions

November 7, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 11.13”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Danshoku Dino Vs X
2. Hikaru Sato & Rion Mizuki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Kazuki Hirata
3. Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & X Vs MIKAMI, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hoshitango
4. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs DJ Nira & Gorgeous Matsuno
5. Kenny Omega Vs Takao Soma
6. KUDO & Daisuke Sasaki Vs HARASHIMA & Masa Takanashi

Gorgeous Matsuno has requested a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Poison JULIE Sawada as his partner. However, Tsurumi Amon is not convinced they deserve to get the title shot. He thinks they will have to defeat the champions first before they can go after the belts. Sawada will not be appearing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 13/11 so Amon has told Matsuno to team with DJ Nira to take on the champs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie at the show. If Matsuno & Nira win, then Matsuno & Sawada will be given a title shot to be held at 27/11.

The Let’s Go 30’s pair of Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda are going back to the drawing board after failing to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Part of their new strategy will be to bring in a third member to their group, who will be revealed at this show.

Hard Hit “ATLANTIS”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Tanomusaku Toba Vs Kotaro Nasu
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Ryuichi Sekine
4. Madoka Vs Kengo Mashimo
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takaku Fuke
6. KUDO & Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA & Mitsuya Nagai
7. Hikaru Sato Vs Daisuke Sekimoto

UNION “FANTASY ILLUSION 5”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Cherry Tag Match: Giant Cherry & Nice Body Cherry Vs Mrs. Cherry & Chinese Cherry
2. S-Ovation Vs M-Ovation: Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata Vs Shigeko Deluxe & Hiroko Mangrove
3. Masako Takanashi & Kazue Hirata Vs Kaori Yoneyama & Leon
4. Handsome Shirai Vs Kenko Ohka
5. Cherry Vs Aja Kong

If you like your pro wrestling to have cross dressing then boy are you in for a treat (I can’t believe I typed that). Handsome Shirai Vs Kenko Ohka sounds like a gender swapped version of the Mio Shirai Vs Ken Ohka feud, Masako Takanashi is Masa Takanashi, Kazue Hirata is Kazuki Hirata, Shigeko Deluxe & Hiroko Mangrove are the female cheerleader alter egos of Shigehiro Irie & Shuji Ishikawa respectively and Chinese Cherry will obviously be Chou-un Shiryu. My guesses for the other Cherry knock offs are Hoshitango for Giant Cherry, Big Morohashi for Nice Body Cherry and Sanshiro Takagi for Mrs. Cherry/Cherry’s mother.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2011”, 27/11/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Hikari Minami Vs X
2. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru Tanaka
3. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Homoiro Clover Z will be holding “auditions” for the rest of this month to find their newest member. Hikari Minami from Ice Ribbon is the first name added to the audition. She caught their attention when she and Sanshiro Takagi defeated Clover members Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi at “OSAKA BAY BLUES”. So far the official members of Homoiro Clover Z are Danshoku Dino, Kota Ibushi, Makoto Oishi and KUDO.

Sanshiro Takagi has brought in Hikari Minami from Ice Ribbon to help him take on Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. This is being advertised as the final battle between Homoiro Clover Z and TKG48, despite the two groups only having one match against each other previously.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2011”, 27/11/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru Tanaka

DDT will announce the date for next year’s 15th Anniversary show at the Nippon Budokan on this show. Several DDT wrestlers left comments on the official DDT site about the upcoming announcement. Sanshiro Takagi is so excited, he wants to announce the date to the fans as soon as possible. KUDO hopes to continue defending the KO-D Openweight Title and make ot to the big event as champion. Kota Ibushi wants to be fully recovered for the show but is aware not to return to the ring too quickly until his body is ready. HARASHIMA is very happy that his dream of wrestling in the Budokan will now become a reality. Finally, Kazuki Hirata mentioned that everyone is training and fighting harder than ever so they can earn a spot on the show. The competition for that precious chance to fight in the “House Of Japanese Martial Arts” is going to be fierce.

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2011” Results

October 23, 2011

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2011”, 23/10/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,292 Fans

1. HARASHIMA defeated Ken Ohka with the Somato (10:51).
2. MIKAMI defeated Cherry with an Oh Lefevre (7:14).
3. Masa Takanashi defeated DJ Nira with a Reverse Inside Cradle (10:28).
4. Hardcore 4 Way: Antonio Honda defeated Isami Kodaka, Keisuke Ishii and Michael Nakazawa when Honda pinned Nakazawa with the Diving Daikon Drop (12:44).
5. Handicap Lumberjack Death Match: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Takagi pinned Oishi with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (8:16).
6. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yasu Urano with the Splash Mountain (15:58).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) defeated Hikaru Sato with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:53).
*V2 for KUDO.

KUDO survives the submission skills of Hikaru Sato to earn V2 in his KO-D Openweight Title reign. His focus now turns over to the 6th November in Osaka for his next title defence. The challenger was determined in a one night Rock, Scissors, Paper tournament. The results of that can be seen below.

Takao Soma had to be taken off the show due to suffering from acute enteritis. This meant Sanshiro Takagi had to fight Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi on his own in a Handicap Lumberjack Death Match. Sanshiro’s lumberjacks for the match were Yomiko Hotta, Shigehiro Irie, Ken Ohka and DJ Nira. The Homoiro Clover Z lumberjacks were Kazuki Hirata, Hiroshi Fukuda, Akito and an unnamed non-wrestling member of DDT’s staff. Despite the disadvantage in numbers, Takagi was able to overcome the odds and he pinned Oishi to win the match.

Some new moves were shown by a few wrestlers tonight. MIKAMI won with a cross arm submission hold he calls Oh Lefevre while Antonio Honda won the Hardcore 4 Way match with the Diving Daikon Drop, which might just be the Diving Fist Drop with a new name.

KO-D Openweight Title Contendership Tournament – Rock, Scissors, Paper

1. Round 1: Makoto Oishi defeated Takao Soma by Forfeit.
2. Round 1: Masa Takanashi defeated Keisuke Ishii with Paper -> Rock.
3. Round 1: DJ Nira defeated Cherry with Scissors -> Paper.
4. Round 1: Ken Ohka defeated Sanshiro Takagi with Rock -> Scissors.
5. Round 1: Yasu Urano defeated Shuji Ishikawa with Scissors -> Paper.
6. Round 1: Danshoku Dino defeated Antonio Honda with Paper -> Rock.
7. Round 1: Isami Kodaka defeated MIKAMI with Paper -> Rock.
8. Round 1: Kota Ibushi defeated HARASHIMA with Rock -> Scissors.
9. Round 2: Masa Takanashi defeated Makoto Oishi with Paper -> Rock.
10. Round 2: Ken Ohka defeated DJ Nira with Rock -> Scissors.
11. Round 2: Danshoku Dino defeated Yasu Urano with Rock -> Scissors.
12. Round 2: Kota Ibushi defeated Isami Kodaka with Paper -> Rock.
13. Semi Final: Masa Takanashi defeated Ken Ohka with Paper -> Rock.
14. Semi Final: Kota Ibushi defeated Danshoku Dino with Rock -> Scissors.
15. Final: Masa Takanashi defeated Kota Ibushi with Scissors -> Paper.

The most “Shiru” wrestler in DDT earns the No. 1 Contendership and will face KUDO for the KO-D Title next month. This will be the second time Masa Takanashi will get to challenge for the KO-D Title. The first time was against Daisuke Sekimoto back in April 2010.

In what could only be described as a miracle, Kota Ibushi did not re-dislocate his shoulder during the dramatic games of Rock, Paper, Scissors. He also took part dressed as DJ Nira for some reason.

Kodaka’s Training, Lumberjacks For DDT Special

October 18, 2011

UNION “SCHOOL FESTIVAL 2011”, 19/10/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. BENTEN (w/ Miyako) Vs Onryo (w/ Masako Takanashi)
2. Lingerie Muto & Big Bang Lingerie Vs Yoshiaki Yago & Madoka
3. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs Hiro Tsumaki
4. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Mio Shirai (c) Vs Cherry
5. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs RG
6. Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara Vs Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda
7. DDT Extreme Title Contendership – 3 Way: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Kengo Ohka

Isami Kodaka has been preparing for his match with Hiro Tsumaki by training with former joshi wrestler Rumi Kazama in Okinawa. Rumi first came to Isami’s rescue during his Sexy Diva match against Sexxxy Eddy and GAMI back in August. It looks like she will be sticking by his side for the time being.

Geisha girl Miyako commented on BENTEN’s upcoming match against Onryo. The “Global Diva Princess” said Onryo and Masako Takanashi are a far cry from the people BENTEN wrestled in Madison Square Garden for a company called WWG, which somehow stands for World Wide Edge.

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2011”, 23/10/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hardcore 4 Way: Isami Kodaka Vs Antonio Honda Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA Vs Ken Ohka
3. Cherry Vs MIKAMI
4. Masa Takanashi Vs DJ Nira
5. Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa
6. Lumberjack Death Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

The Lumberjacks announced for the semi-main event are Yomiko Hotta (who might be the newest member of the TKG48), Shigehiro Irie, Ken Ohka, DJ Nira, Kazuki Hirata, Hiroshi Fukuda, Akito and some unnamed members of DDT staff.

The 16-Man Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title is still set for this show. All that has been revealed about the tournament so far is the tournament layout. Nothing unusual about it. The winner of Match #1 takes on the winner of Match #2, the winner of Match #3 takes on the winner of Match #4, etc.

Lumberjack Death Match, Kikutaro Returns, Honda & Urano Join Forces

October 6, 2011

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2011”, 23/10/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hardcore 4 Way: Isami Kodaka Vs Antonio Honda Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA Vs Ken Ohka
3. Cherry Vs MIKAMI
4. Masa Takanashi Vs DJ Nira
5. Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa
6. Lumberjack Death Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

A mini tournament to determine who challenges the KO-D Openweight Champion at Osaka in November will also take place here.

Some taunting has been going back and forth between Homoiro Clover Z and the TKG48. This has led to the Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma tag team match being turned into a Lumberjack Death Match. So far DJ Nira, Ken Ohka, Shigehiro Irie, Kazuki Hirata and Hiroshi Fukuda have been announced as the lumberjacks, with more to come.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2011”, 06/11/2011
Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2

1. 3 Way: Kikutaro Vs Kushinbo Kamen Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO or Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Winner Of 23/10 Tournament

Gorgeous Matsuno finds himself in the ring with two of the most dangerous wrestlers in Japan. Oh wait… Scratch that, he’ll be in the ring with Kikutaro and Kushinbo Kamen. However, Matsuno is always at risk while he carries the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title over his shoulder. That is if he is still champion by the time this show takes place.

Shigehiro Irie will also take part in this show along with Kyairyuuken-ecchan from Shi-en Pro Wrestling aswell as Osaka freelancers Hideki Shiota and Shoichi Uchida.

In other news, Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano have decided to form a new faction together after they had a successful go as a team at “NON-FIX 10.5” earlier this week. They declared their goal was to become the KO-D Tag Team Champions. I’m curious to see if Poison JULIE Sawada will join them, as Sawada has been teaming with Honda ever since his return from injury and gimmick makeover.

Current Cards For October

September 30, 2011

DDT “NATIONAL CITY EVENT”, 01/10/2011
Asakusa ROX Supermulti Court

1. The Lightning Monster & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Asakusa Kid & Shigehiro Irie
2. KUDO & Keisuke Ishii Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

This is a charity event taking place in an area affected by the earthquakes from earlier this year. The actual location for the free show is a football field. Instead of wrestling inside a ring, the matches will take place on a large mat instead. But knowing DDT, the action will surely spill out around the premises. The Lightning Monster and Asakusa Kid are two wrestlers from a micro indy promotion called Hana Wrestling.

DDT “NON-FIX 10.5”, 05/10/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Michael Nakazawa Vs DJ Nira, Masa Takanashi & Danshoku Dino (w/ Kota Ibushi)
2. Poison JULIE Sawada Vs Rion Mizuki
3. Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda Vs MIKAMI & Hoshitango
4. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Kazuki Hirata
5. Special Guest Referee: HARASHIMA Vs Darkside HERO! (Referee: Darkside HERO!)
6. KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma

Hikaru Sato is getting straight to work after winning the DDT48 General Election. He and KUDO face off in a Tag Team Main Event in the lead up to their KO-D Openweight Title match at the end of October. KUDO teams with his Homoiro Clover Z teammate Makoto Oishi in what will be Oishi’s first match as a full time DDT wrestler. Takao Soma will be at Sato’s side, the two earning each other’s respect over the last year.

Somehow HARASHIMA has gotten into a situation where his opponent will also the referee. Darkside HERO! has the advantage of bending the rules however it suits him. Will HERO! make an appearance so soon after losing to HARASHIMA?

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Poison JULIE Sawada & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & DJ Nira
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Hiroki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Chiharu
3. Hikaru Sato Vs Masa Takanashi
4. HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomoya Adachi & Takao Soma
5. KUDO & MIKAMI Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
6. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

Two matches have been changed due to Sato now becoming the No. 1 Contender. Sato was originally supposed to team with KUDO in the semi-main event. However, Sato has requested not to team with his future opponent on this show. So Sato will instead have a singles match with Masa Takanashi while MIKAMI will now team with KUDO to take on Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa.

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2011”, 23/10/2011

3. Cherry Vs MIKAMI
4. Masa Takanashi Vs DJ Nira
5. Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa
6. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

1,623 Fans

1. Hiro Tsumaki defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Savate Kick (5:45).
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Gorgeous Matsuno (c) Vs YOSHIHIKO ended in a Double Countout (5:45).
3. 3 Way: Madoka & Hiro Tonai defeated Akito & Toru Sugiura and Ryuichi Sekine & Daisuke Sasaki when Madoka pinned Sugiura with the Ranhei (5:27).
4. Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Cherry & Batten Tamagawa when Nakazawa pinned Tamagawa with the Combine (6:37).
5. Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka with the Tombstone Piledriver (9:30).
6. DDT Group #1 Weird Faction Decision Rumble: Mr. #6 defeated Big Morohashi by Ring Out (9:47).
Order Of Elimination: Poison JULIE Sawada, DJ Nira, Mitsuhiro Yoshida, Shota, Hoshitango, Tanomusaku Toba, Rion Mizuki, HERO!, BENTEN, Big Morohashi.
7. Masa Takanashi defeated Takao Soma with an Inside Cradle (5:14).
8. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi defeated Antonio Honda with a Samson Clutch (6:48).
9. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi defeated El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda when Dino pinned Fukuda with a Cradle Cutback (9:33).
10. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
11. DDT Vs Union: Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka defeated KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI when Ishikawa pinned MIKAMI with the Splash Mountain (18:09).

Union scores one over DDT in the main event. Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka were able to put their differences aside to defeat the Caps Lock team of KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI.

Tsurumi Amon has been very impressed with the growth of Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie over the last year. Their time limit draw on this show was enough to give Amon an idea. Ishii and Irie will team together in Sapporo on 10th October to face Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi in a match for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Championships.

A Shin-Kiba 1st RING tripleshot was announced for 13th November. DDT, Hard Hit and Fantasy Illusion (a joshi event produced by Cherry) are the brands that will each host a show.

The latest DDT48 General Election 2011 standings were announced. Live voting at the shows have now ended but there are a few days left for fans to post in their votes.

1. Hikaru Sato (318 Votes)
2. Kota Ibushi (221 Votes)
3. Cherry (219 Votes)
4. Danshoku Dino (194 Votes)
5. Masa Takanashi (173 Votes)
6. HARASHIMA (159 Votes)
7. Yasu Urano (156 Votes)
8. Makoto Oishi (153 Votes)
9. Ken Ohka (144 Votes)
10. MIKAMI (131 Votes)
11. Isami Kodaka (122 Votes)
12. KUDO (120 Votes)
13. Antonio Honda (114 Votes)
14. Takao Soma (110 Votes)
15. Sanshiro Takagi (105 Votes)
16. Keisuke Ishii (92 Votes)
17. Shigehiro Irie (86 Votes)
18. Kenny Omega (77 Votes)
– Shuji Ishikawa (77 Votes)
20. Mr. #6 (72 Votes)
21. DJ Nira (69 Votes)

It’s safe to say Hikaru Sato has won. The more interesting story will be who brings up the rear at #18 and possibly #19 depending on Kota Ibushi’s health come October. Kenny Omega and Shuji Ishikawa are tied 18th and are only a few votes ahead of Mr. #6 and DJ Nira, of all people. The extra votes that come in over the next week will be vital for those competitors.

DDT48 Finale Card

September 24, 2011

DDT “DDT48 GENERAL ELECTION END”, 25/09/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT No. 1 Strange Rumble: Poison JULIE Sawada Vs Hoshitango Vs HERO! Vs DJ Nira Vs Mr. #6 Vs BENTEN Vs Mitsuhiro Yoshida Vs Rion Mizuki Vs Tanomusaku Toba Vs Big Morohashi Vs Shota
2. Antonio Honda Vs Tsuyoshi Kikuchi
3. Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Cherry & Batten Tamagawa
4. 3 Way: Akito & Toru Sugiura Vs Madoka & Hiro Tonai Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Daisuke Sasaki
5. Takao Soma Vs Masa Takanashi
6. Gorgeous Matsuno Vs YOSHIHIKO
7. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiro Tsumaki
8. Isami Kodaka Vs Yasu Urano
9. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie
10. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda
11. DDT Vs Union: KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka

This event is the final day of voting in the DDT48 General Election 2011. This show is designed to give the contestants one last chance to win over the fans and hopefully get their votes. Every match except the main event will have a 10 minute time limit. A few names are missing from the card. Kota Ibushi is currently injured but still eligable for votes while Hikaru Sato and Kenny Omega will be busy wrestling in the final night of the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight League. I’m not sure where Ken Ohka, Yoshiaki Yago and Chou-un Shiryu will be on the night. I might have accidentaly left them out of the Battle Royal. But we do get El Generico taking part in the semi-main event.

Looking at the most recent standings, Hikaru Sato is in a comfortable lead with Kota Ibushu, Danshoku Dino and HARASHIMA trailing him by some distance. The real drama will be the fight for 18th place, as that is the cutoff for who will get to wrestle at Korakuen Hall on 23rd October. If Ibushi does not recover in time, then whoever finished in 19th place will also qualify to make up for Ibushi’s in-ring absence. The results of the election will be announced on the 29th September over at Shinjuku FACE.

“NON-FIX 9.18” Changes, Full DDT48 Korakuan Card, SHF Done?

September 17, 2011

Some last day changes to the Chiba Blue Field event. MIKAMI and Kazuki Hirata swap places in the first two matches. Antonio Honda gets to team with Poison JULIE Sawada again, swapping places with Keisuke Ishii in Match #6.

Kota Ibushi will still attend DDT shows while recovering from his injury and will participate in autograph sessions during each event.

DDT “DDT48 GENERAL ELECTION END”, 25/09/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT No. 1 Strange Rumble: Poison JULIE Sawada Vs Hoshitango Vs HERO! Vs DJ Nira Vs Mr. #6 Vs BENTEN Vs Mitsuhiro Yoshida Vs Rion Mizuki Vs Tanomusaku Toba Vs Big Morohashi Vs Shota
2. Antonio Honda Vs Tsuyoshi Kikuchi

10. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs El Generico & Hiroshi Fukuda
11. DDT Vs Union: KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka

Every match except for the main event will have a 10 minute time limit.

El Generico takes Kota Ibushi’s spot in the show. He is the only wrestler here who is not taking part in the DDT48 General Election.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation seems to be done for now. The Super Shit Machine has disappeared and Tomomitsu Matsunaga has been trying to get back in the good graces of Tsurumi Amon and the DDT roster. Also of note is Darkside HERO! showing up not long after Matsunaga’s apology was rejected. Funny coincidence, don’t you think?
