What Are You Doing? I’m Posting The Full Card For The Show!

June 14, 2011

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2011”, 19/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Shit Machine Vs Rion Mizuki & Hoshitango
0. Special Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Kota Ibushi, KUDO, Hikaru Sato & X Vs HARASHIMA, HERO!, MIKAMI & Kazuki Hirata
2. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
3. Dick Togo DDT Last Match: Dick Togo & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki
4. Bob Sapp Games – Final Stage: Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp’s Final Assassin
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

The unlikely partnership of Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa are the first challengers for the new KO-D Tag Team Champions, Munenori Sawa & Shigehiro Irie. Let’s just assume for the moment that the unofficial team name for Kenny & Michael is The Lotion Lovers.

One more match for Danshoku Dino to win so he can finally fight Bob Sapp. The last challenge is always the most difficult. Can Dino overcome what could be the most dangerous assassin of all?

Kota Ibushi will get his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title shot over at New Japan the day before this show. No hints were given as to who the fourth member of his team will be in the 8-Man Tag here.


MIKAMI Vs Posion Sawada JULIE Set For Sumo Hall

June 8, 2011

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”, 24/07/2011
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. MIKAMI Vs Poison Sawada JULIE
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs KUDO

A new match was announced for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011” and it is one that celebrates two of DDT’s longest serving stars. In one corner we have MIKAMI, a man who has accomplished it all in DDT and has been with the company since day one. In the other corner, making his return to the ring after a lengthy injury is Poison Sawada JULIE, the serpant who has terrorised DDT since 1999.

DDT “WRESTLING TONKOTSU 2011”, 12/06/2011
Hakata Star Lane

1. Rion Mizuki Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Triple Threat: MIKAMI Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Batten Tamagawa
3. KO-D Tag Team Title Challenger Match: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa
4. Winner Gets “Anytime And Anywhere” Contract: Takao Soma Vs Keisuke Ishii
5. Bob Sapp Games – 5th Stage: Danshoku Dino Vs Gaylon Summers
6. Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Shiori Asahi Vs HARASHIMA, Kota Ibushi & Hikaru Sato
7. Sanshiro Takagi & Shigehiro Irie Vs Dick Togo & Yasu Urano

The winner of Match #4 gets the “Anytime And Anywhere” contract, which is already cashed in for 19th June. Takao Soma is supposed to get the KO-D Openweight Title shot on that day but if Keisuke Ishii beats him here, he will replace him in the 19/6 title match.

Danshoku Dino needs to defeat Gaylon Summers in order to face Bob Sapp’s final Assassin. If Summers wins, he will face the Assassin instead and could even replace Dino in the match against Sapp himself at Sumo Hall.

The feud between Antonio Honda and Michael Nakazawa over who gets a title shot will be settled here. Nakazawa convinced Kenny Omega to choose him as his partner for the match to determine the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

Dick Togo Finale, New Union Matches

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata
2. Takagi Genjin & Tsubo Genjin Vs Jinsei Shinzaki & Kesen Numajiro
3. Tag Team Gauntlet: MEN’s Teioh & HANZO Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano Vs Danshoku Dino & Kota Ibushi Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs HARASHIMA & Hoshitango Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Seiya Morohashi Vs X
4. Ikuto Hidaka, Tomohiro Ishii & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kaz Hayashi, FUNAKI & Yuki Sato
5. Antonio Honda & Jado Vs The Great Sasuke & TAKA Michinoku
6. Dick Togo Retirement Match: Dick Togo Vs Gedo

The latest additions to the card are a Six-Man Tag match featuring Ikuto Hidaka from ZERO1, Tomohiro Ishii from New Japan, Kaz Hayashi from All Japan and former WWE Superstar FUNAKI along with Daisuke Sasaki and Yuki Sato filling up the gaps.

The Tag Team Gauntlet is sure to have some highlights. MEN’s Teioh finds his place on the card teaming with a ninja spirit that goes by the name of HANZO while DDT and Union teams make up the rest of the contestants although there may be one or two more teams added on the night.

UNION “NIMOMAKEZU RAIN”, 02/06/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hiroya Fukuda Vs Shigehiro Irie
2. Ken Ohka & Cherry Vs Mio Shirai & Io Shirai
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs El Generico & Yano K Data
4. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Genichiro Tenryu
5. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Big Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki
6. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs MIKAMI

Seiya Morohashi will officially change his ring name to Big Morohashi on this show.

Shinichiro Tominaga and El Generico will cross paths once again, this time in a tag match. Generico and his partner for the night Yano K Data can make a big splash by grabbing the win over the KO-D Champion, Shuji Ishikawa.

Two thirds of the Triple Tails joshi faction will show up on the show. The Shirai Sisters will take on Cherry and Ken Ohka. The last time Mio Shirai & Io Shirai were in a DDT/Union ring was during last year’s Beer Garden Pro Wrestling shows. It wasn’t a pleasant experience when they fought Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa in a match where the losers had to strip naked. Nakazawa cheated to win but the Shirai Sisters decided to strip him of his dignity instead. Like I said, not pleasant.


Togo’s Final DDT Match, Union To Get A Lot Of People

May 16, 2011

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2011”, 19/06/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira
1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Dick Togo DDT Last Match: Dick Togo & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

Dick Togo will make his final appearance for DDT on this show before his retirement. He will team with Antonio Honda to face Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki. Togo has connections with all three wrestlers, teaming with Honda and Sasaki when they were part of the Italian 4 Horsemen. He is also currently sided with Urano as part of the GRANMA stable.

UNION “I’LL GET A LOT OF PEOPLE IN TOYAMA 2011”, 05/06/2011
Tomiyama Takaoka Ekuru

1. Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Hiroya Fukuda
2. Seiya Morohashi & Hiroyo Matsumoto Vs Cherry & Hiro Tsumaki
3. Triple Threat: Isami Kodaka Vs El Generico Vs Cao Zhung (w/ Princess Makoto)
4. SS Susan Vs TKG48: Yoshiaki Yago, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Sanshiro Takagi, X & X
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Ken Ohka

On paper this sounds like a one-sided main event, and it probably will be. But you can’t fault Ken Ohka’s enthusiasm when facing against far more established wrestlers. There is a history of Ohka being jealous of Shuji Ishikawa being the ace of Union. Many end of show speeches in the ring have seen Ohka trying to blindside Shuji, only to be swatted away like a bug.

Sanshiro Takagi has promised to team with two “elite” members of the TKG48. Will we see some new additions to the supergroup?

El Generico returns to Union after his impressive victory over Shinichiro Tominaga at “1…2…3…UNION!” back in January. This time he sticks his head into the feud between Isami Kodaka and Cao Zhang for a Triple Threat match.

There will be one more match taking place on the show featuring DDT wrestlers. The participants will be announced soon.

Shuji Ishikawa capped off a great day by defeating Sanshiro Takagi and giving Union a big victory over the TKG48. After the match Sanshiro Takagi said that he will retire at the DDT Sumo Hall show on 24th July. Shuji was shocked at the announcement until Sanshiro cracked up and gave Shuji a Stone Cold Stunner. He then grabbed the mic and said “Gotta lie, motherfucker!”

After a successful match together as a tag team, Kazunari Murakami gave a gift to Seiya Morohashi. He offered Seiya to take his nickname and become BIG Morohashi. Seiya has not decided if he will take it yet.

Cherry Vs Bambi was given high praise and was said to be a very competitive match.

MIKAMI will challenge Isami Kodaka for the DDT Extreme Championship at Shinjuku FACE on 2nd June.

El Generico will return to Union for the same show. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Seiya/BIG Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki will also happen. Another big match to take place on the card is Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Genichiro Tenryu!

*Togo fails in V3. Ishikawa becomes the 36th Champion!

It really did turn out to be a big day for Shuji Ishikawa. He now reigns supreme as the new KO-D Openweight Champion, defeating Dick Togo for the belt. This is Shuji’s third reign as KO-D Champion, twice as Shuji Ishikawa and once when he wrestled under the mask as Koo. Will we see a similar title run as last time when he was able to hold title defences in Union?

Shuji’s first defence was confirmed to be GENTARO, who kept his word that he would cash in his “Anytime And Anywhere” contract to face the winner of Togo Vs Shuji. The match has been set for 19th June at Korakuen Hall.

Takao Soma declared that he wants to be next in line for a KO-D Title shot after GENTARO gets his match.

Keisuke Ishii was the big winner of the Royal Rumble. His prize was a shot at the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. This meant the surprise return of Masa Takanashi! The match between Takanashi and Ishii was set for 19th June but when the two shook hands, Ishii gave him a Small Package and won the title! However, Masa then gave Ishii a Low Blow and Small Packaged him to win the title back!

This time Bob Sapp sent three assassins after Danshoku Dino. Choun-Shiryu led the attack along with two fighters from Hong Kong Pro Wrestling but Dino was too manly beyond their wildest expectations to be defeated.

The always bouncy in a good way Yuzuki Aikawa announced that she will compete at DDT’s Sumo Hall show.

The 1st Round matches for the King Of DDT tournament have been announced. They will take place on 21st May at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The matches are:

The KING OF DDT 1st Round lottery will take place during this show.

Tsurumi Amon has some big prize in store for the winner of the Royal Rumble.

This will be Hikaru Sato’s first match outside of the show opener since his self-imposed curtain jerking status. It also happens to include Kota Ibushi as one of his opponents. It was Sato’s big win over Ibushi back in October last year that led to him beating HARASHIMA for the KO-D Openweight Title one month later. Sato has been using his partnership with Kikutaro at the AJPW Jr. Tag League to warm himself up. He already made his mark by submitting Super Crazy in a league match a few days ago. With Sumo Hall coming ever closer, can he springboard himself back into the title race?

Daisuke Sasaki has earned a spot in this year’s Best Of The Super Junior tournament by winning his block in the Road to the Super Jr. tournament hosted by New Japan Pro Wrestling’s NEVER brand. Yesterday he defeated Kazuki Hirata and today he went past Ryuichi Sekine from K-DOJO in the second round of Block A. In the block’s final he met Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, the longtime veteran who has spent all year campaigning for a spot in the BOSJ. Sasaki shattered his dreams with his NOW or NEVER finisher and will now take his place among the elite Jr. Heavyweights in the world today…and Taichi.

Other DDT and Union wrestlers did not have a good day at the tournament, all losing their matches. Ken Ohka continued his chance meetings with high level wrestlers, losing to Yujiro Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Jado & Gedo in an 8-Man Tag. Kazuki Hirata & Shinichiro Tominaga teamed together in a losing effort to Kyosuke Mikami & Hiromu Takahashi.

Golden Lovers Defeated, Next Up For Union

It was not a successful appearance for the Golden Lovers in New Japan today. They teamed up with Manabu Nakanishi but were defeated by Shinsuke Nakamura, Jado & Gedo.

Some new matches have been revealed for Union’s second show in Korakuen Hall this year. The main event of “GOLDEN UNION 2011” will be the clash between the face of Union and the former face of DDT. Shuji Ishikawa battles Sanshiro Takagi with plenty of pride on the line. Takagi’s TKG48 has been getting the better of Union during their feud, with Takagi pinning Shuji in a 6-Man Tag at today’s Union show. Now they finally face each other one-on-one.

Meanwhile, Seiya Morohashi has been tasked with dealing with the Susan Guard. After losing to Yoshiaki Yago today, he called in the big guns to help him fight Yago & Kengo Ohka at Korakuen Hall. Seiya will team with “Big” Kazunari Murakami, a man who permanently looks at you as if you just stepped on his dog and for that he will kill you.

Ken Ohka will face New Japan Jr. Heavyweight star Koji Kanemoto in what looks to be a regular series of Best Of The Super Junior themed challenges for Ohka.

Isami Kodaka and Yano K Data are being sent to Monkey School. Their opponents are MIKAMI and the “Crazy Monkey” Jun Kasai. Either one of these wrestlers could be Kodaka’s next challenger for the DDT Extreme Championship.
