DDT Schedule For November

November 16, 2010

A full report on DDT’s Osaka card is now posted.

DDT “NON-FIX 11.17”, 17.11.2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Young Drama Cup: Rion Mizuki (0) Vs Kazuki Hirata (2)
2. Young Drama Cup: Shigehiro Irie (6) Vs Yukihiro Abe (3)
3. Young Drama Cup: Takao Soma (6) Vs Keisuke Ishii (7)
4. Michael Nakazawa Vs The Great Kojika
5. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs MIKAMI & Hoshitango
6. Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Dick Togo & Yasu Urano

Young Drama Cup Standings

1. Keisuke Ishii (7)
2. Shigehiro Irie (6)
3. Takao Soma (6)
4. Yukihiro Abe (3)
5. Kazuki Hirata (2)
6. Rion Mizuki (0)

This is the final set of matches in the Young Drama Cup before the grand final. The top two wrestlers in the Young Drama Cup go through to the final. I think DDT is using the “direct confrontation” rule where if there is a tie between two wrestlers, the result from their previous tournament match decides who finishes on top. If that is the case then Shigehiro Irie has already qualified for the final and Takao Soma Vs Keisuke Ishii will be for the other spot. However a draw between Soma and Ishii will mean both wrestlers qualify for the final and their rematch will be for the Cup. To use a rugby term, Rion Mizuki and Kazuki Hirata are fighting over who gets the Wooden Spoon.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2010”, 28.11.2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Young Drama Cup – Final: 1st Place Vs 2nd Place
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yago & X Vs Genichiro Tenryu, Masao Orihara & X
3. KO-D Tag Team Title: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Dick Togo

Yoshiaki Yago will take on Akira Shoji at SMASH.10 over in JCB Hall on 22nd November. Ken Ohka will likely be accompanying Yago at the show.

“DDT SPECIAL 2010” Results

October 24, 2010

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2010”, 24/10/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,364 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yasu Urano defeated Cherry with the Tombstone Piledriver (7:53).
2. Dick Togo defeated Great Hentai (Michael Nakazawa) with the Diving Senton (7:46).
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Isami Kodaka defeated MIKAMI & KUDO when Kodaka pinned MIKAMI (10:22).
4. Toru Owashi defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Oden Splash (8:54).
5. Kenny Omega & Antonio Honda defeated Keisuke Ishii & YOSHIHIKO when Omega pinned Ishii with the Croyt’s Wrath (9:34).
6. Hikaru Sato defeated Kota Ibushi by Referee Stoppage with the Modified Cross Armbreaker (16:18).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Danshoku Dino with the Somato.
*V2 for HARASHIMA.

Having the popular vote just wasn’t enough for Danshoku Dino to defeat HARASHIMA for the KO-D Openweight Title.

The big shock on the card was Hikaru Sato defeating Kota Ibushi via ref stoppage. Ibushi’s recent shoulder problem is well known and Sato used that to his advantage by locking on the match winning Cross Armbreaker. With a huge victory on his back and a lot of fan support as shown in the DDT48 Election, Sato may be able to get a KO-D Openweight Title shot in the future.

The match between Toru Owashi and Sanshiro Takagi had several hot stoves of water involved throughout. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi was also involved in the match somehow.

More information to come soon.

DDT48 Correction, Young Drama Cup, October Shows, DDT In NEVER

October 10, 2010

I apologise about getting the DDT48 concept wrong. Rather than everyone campaigning for a spot in a tournament, the Election was for the right to be included in the 24th October event itself, with the winner of the election getting ¥1,000,000 and a KO-D Openweight Title shot. So congratulations go to Danshoku Dino for coming out on top (minds out of the gutter, people) and winning the grand prize. Dino will face HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title in the main event of a pretty good looking DDT card at Korakuen Hall.

But before we make it to Korakuen, DDT has a show in Shin-Kiba 1st RING coming up this week. The event will see the return of the Young Drama Cup, a tournament for DDT’s rookies and younger wrestlers. Last year’s winner was Keisuke Ishii and he will be in the tournament to defend his crown.

DDT “NON-FIX 10.14”, 14/10/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Complete Conclusion! Karate Kid Visit! No Ideology Conflict Shin-Kiba Bloody Battle: Karate Kid Vs Michael Nakazawa
2. Young Drama Cup: Takao Soma Vs Rion Mizuki
3. Young Drama Cup: Shigehiro Irie Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Young Drama Cup: Yukihiro Abe Vs Keisuke Ishii
5. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Hoshitango
6. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuki Sato
7. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
8. HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dino & Antonio Honda

Karate Kid is either Ultraman Robin or a wrestler that Robin discovered during a trip to Europe.

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2010”, 24/10/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MIKAMI & KUDO Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Isami Kodaka
2. Kenny Omega & Antonio Honda Vs Keisuke Ishii & YOSHIHIKO
3. Michael Nakazawa Vs Dick Togo
4. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Toru Owashi
5. Yasu Urano Vs Cherry
6. Kota Ibushi Vs Hikaru Sato
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

As I said earlier, this looks like a pretty good card that should be a lot of fun. Danshoku Dino could leave Korakuen Hall as the KO-D Openweight Champion, DDT Extreme Champion and KO-D Tag Team Champion all at once, which is unprecedented in DDT. Kota Ibushi versus Hikaru Sato will be stiff and with Sato upping his game over the last year while Ibushi is getting over his ring rust this could be the best match on the night. Yasu Urano Vs Cherry is a mismatch, but Cherry will definitly do all that she can to win. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Toru Owashi will be the first singles match between the two in DDT since 2006. Michael Nakazawa and his “Shit Heart” will try to take down Dick Togo. Kenny Omega & Antonio Honda versus Keisuke Ishii & YOSHIHIKO will be your typical DDT fun and games. The show opener has potential to be really good with MIKAMI & KUDO representing DDT to face the UNION side of Shuji Ishikawa & Isami Kodaka.

DDT had two wrestlers compete at the New Japan NEVER show in Shin-Kiba. Keisuke Ishii defeated Hiromu Takahashi in the opener while Daisuke Sasaki lost to Tama Tonga in the third match.

NJPW “NEVER.3″, 10/8/10
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
250 Fans

1. Keisuke Ishii defeated Hiromu Takahashi with the Kneel Kick (6:43).
3. Tama Tonga defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Jackhammer (11:12).

10. Muscle Sakai Retirement Special Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Muscle Sakai with a Headlock (3:40).
11. Muscle Sakai Retirement Match: Minoru Suzuki defeated Muscle Sakai with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (10:36).

Muscle Sakai has ended his wrestling career to run his family’s business in Niigata and to take care of his wife and child. Rather than just have one match on the night Sakai took part in 7 matches, wrestling for the entire second half of the show. He took on Antonio Honda, Yasu Urano, Pedro Takaishi, Jaki Numazawa and Chou-un Shiryu as part of his Retirement Series of matches. He came out of it with two wins and three losses. Then Danshoku Dino came out to wrestle Sakai, who was so exhausted at this point that he submitted to a Headlock. Afterwards was the retirement ceremony where Sakai received a video message from Minoru Suzuki, who told Sakai to work hard in his new life. But that wasn’t all. Suzuki then said he wanted one more match with Sakai. Lo and behold, Minoru Suzuki was in attendence and was ready to give Sakai his retirement match.

However, this isn’t exactly the end of the MUSCLE brand of shows. The date of MUSCLE 11 was announced to take place in Korakuen Hall on October 6th…2030. By then, the next generation of Muscle Sakai will be ready to take to the ring and entertain the fans. Everybody in attendence was even given a free ticket to the event. See you in 20 years, Muscle Sakai!

Trios Triple Crown Defended, DDT Joins Indy Smorgasbord

September 24, 2010

 

The Trios Triple Crown of the UWA Trios Title, Jiyugaoka Six Man Tag Team Title & Nihonkai Six Man Tag Team Title were defended over in Ice Ribbon yesterday for their Korakuen Hall show. Riho brought along the Great Kojika and Mr. #6 to her home promotion to earn their first defence of the belts they won at DDT’s Ryogoku show in August. Here, they defeated Jun Kasai, Jaki Numazawa & Miyako Matsumoto, who has been acting a lot like the Sakura to Kasai’s Ryu lately. When and where the Trios Triple Crown will be defended next is anyone’s guess.

UWA Trios Title, Jiyugaoka Six Man Tag Team Title & Nihonkai Six Man Tag Team Title: Great Kojika, Riho & Mr. #6 (c) defeated Jun Kasai, Jaki Numazawa & Miyako Matsumoto when Riho pinned Matsumoto (12:12).

Upcoming DDT Cards for September & October

September 15, 2010

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2010”
26/09/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
1. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs KUDO & Yasu Urano
2. Trial Unit Gauntlet Match: MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Shigehiro Irie & Hoshitango Vs Rion Mizuki & Takao Soma Vs Keisuke Ishii & Yukihiro Abe
3. Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Great Kojika, Emi Sakura & Ultraman Robin
4. Muscle Sakai DDT Last Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Muscle Sakai
5. Special Singles Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

A pretty busy card for Korakuen Hall. The KO-D Tag Team Championships take the headline spot with Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino facing Disaster-BOX duo HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi. The result of this match might help determine the next challenger for HARASHIMA’s KO-D Openweight Title or even Dino’s DDT Extreme Title.

Kota Ibushi makes his return to the ring facing off against Daisuke Sasaki. Ibushi’s return from injury was spoiled by YOSHIHIKO at last week’s Camping Ground event. Here, Sasaki can add salt to the wounds with a major victory over the Golden Star that would springboard him back into title contention.

The last days of Muscle Sakai wrestling before his retirement now leads to his final match for the DDT brand against Sanshiro Takagi. While his retirement show won’t take place until a forthnight later, it will still be an emotional match for everyone involved.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation marks its first match as a group by taking on the random squad of the Great Kojika from Big Japan, Emi Sakura of Ice Ribbon and Ultraman Robin of Specialist Global Pro. Never knew Robin had his own promotion.

The fresh set of teams formed during the Battle Royal at Shin-Kiba earlier this month will all face each other in a Gauntlet match. No Engrish team names made yet though. Also Dick Togo and GENTARO have their first match together as a team against the former Tag Champs KUDO & Yasu Urano.

DDT “SAPPORO PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL”
10/10/2010
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Nunchucks & Nunchucks Board Death Match: Hiroki Vs Chiharu
2. Antonio Honda Vs Tomoya
3. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Takao Soma
4. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs DJ Nira
5. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Futoshi Miwa Vs Sanshiro Takagi, KUDO & Yukihiro Abe
6. Losers From 26/09 Tag Title Match Vs Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato
7. KO-D Tag Team Title: KO-D Tag Team Champions After 26/09 Vs MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba

The Suicide Boyz have been given a second chance to go after the KO-D Tag Titles. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba became the No. 1 Contenders at Sumo Hall, but their title match with Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa turned into a Three Way with Dino & Koshinaka thrown into the mix. It was Dino & Koshinaka who became champions while the Suicide Boyz were left cursing at the unfair decision of adding another team. To make it up to them, DDT has given MIKAMI & Toba another title shot and this time there will be no other teamds added to the mix. But who they face won’t be determined until the Korakuen Hall show takes place.

DDT Schedule For September

September 4, 2010

Back to the proper DDT related news and we have some stuff to really look forward to.

DDT “NON-FIX 9.8”
08/09/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
2. Dick Togo Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Unit Reorganization Battle Royal: MIKAMI Vs Tanomusaku Toba Vs Hoshitango Vs Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Yukihiro Abe Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Rion Mizuki Vs Takao Soma
4. Muscle Sakai Shin-Kiba Last Match: HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dino & Muscle Sakai
5. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Yuki Miyazaki

First up is the next “NON-FIX” event in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The main event will be an inter-gender match between Sanshiro Takagi and soon-to-retire NEO wrestler Yuki Miyazaki. Yuki spent some time in DDT in the past and is a 15 time Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Muscle Sakai will team up with his Belt Hunter X Hunter co-founder Danshoku Dino for his final match in the Shin-Kiba arena before his retirement against HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi. Thi match also serves as a preview for the upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles match at Korakuen Hall later this month. I haven’t been able to find out what the Unit Reorganization Battle Royal is about. Is it to create new teams and stables? All I know is that the match was created by DDT’s new General Manager, Tsurumi Amon.

DDT “CAMPING-GROUND PRO-WRESTLING 2010 ~ THANK YOU DRAMATIC DREAM TEAM FAREWELL CAMPGROUND”
12/09/2010
Yamanashi Natureland Om

1. 4 Way Tag Match: Dick Togo & Kota Ibushi Vs Keisuke Ishii & YOSHIHIKO Vs Michael Nakazawa & Mammoth Handa Vs Sanshiro Takagi & X

After NON-FIX, DDT then takes a day trip down to the Yamanashi Natureland Om for its annual Campsite Pro Wrestling show. Every year DDT adds another team to the advertised match so this time we have a 4 Way Tag Team match, and the line up has me very excited. Who’d ever thought that a dream team of Dick Togo & Kota Ibushi will be a reality at an event like this? Who’d knew that Keisuke Ishii & YOSHIHIKO were such nature enthusaists? Who will Sanshiro Takagi bring with him as his surprise tag partner? Who else thinks Michael Nakazawa & Mammoth Honda is the most inspired pairing ever? Who will remember to bring the fireworks? So many questions and all will be answered at the camping ground on 12th September.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2010”
26/09/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Singles Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. Muscle Sakai DDT Last Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Muscle Sakai
3. KO-D Tag Team Title: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

Last but not least, a new match has been added to this month’s Korakuen Hall event. Daisuke Sasaki had a very impressive performance against HARASHIMA last month and will now go toe-to-toe with Kota Ibushi at Korakuen Hall.

Barely DDT Related, But Why Not?

September 4, 2010

This has barely enough DDT involvement needed to justify being posted on this site. Plus I always get a good kick from Japanese indy sleaze of all sizes. NOSAWA Rongai will be celebrating his 15th Anniversary in pro wrestling by holding his latest “NOSAWA BOMB BA-YE!” event in Korakuen Hall with a card that looks like it was created through the Match-Maker mode on Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. DDT’s involvement will be Sanshiro Takagi entering a 15-Man Gauntlet match and Hikaru Sato fighting Masaaki Mochizuki (“MO-OH-CHI!!”) from Dragon Gate. The main event is like the best example of using the Random Select option from a video game.

NOSAWA does have history in DDT, being one of the few to hold its three main championships throughout his career. He is a former KO-D Openweight Champion, DDT Extreme Champion and was the first ever KO-D Tag Team Champion with Takashi Sasaki. Also the UWA Trios Titles that are currently defended in DDT were once held by NOSAWA and his Tokyo GURENTAI buddies.

NOSAWA Rongai 15th Anniversary “NOSAWA BOM BA-YE! 6 ~ RONGAI ALL STAR FIGHT 2010”
08/10/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Gran Hamada 60th Birthday Match: Gran Hamada, El Pantera & Chicken Boy Vs Takuya Sugawara, Hisamaru Tajima & Mima Shimoda
2. Masaaki Mochizuki Vs Hikaru Sato
3. Tokyo World Heavyweight Title Contendership, 15 Man Gauntlet Match: Black Tiger Vs El Samurai Vs Ricky Fuji Vs Masao Orihara Vs TAKA Michinoku Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs “Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa Vs Brahman Shu Vs Brahman Kei Vs Kana Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X
4. Legend of Wrestling ~ Super Beast Vs Kikuryuu: Tacan Hansen (Yoshihiro Takayama) & Bruiser Minodi (Minoru Suzuki) Vs Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Kiku (Kikutaro)
5. PRIDE: FUJITA Vs MAZADA
6. NOSAWA Rongai 15th Anniversary Match ~ Arriba La Raza: Mil Máscaras, Vampiro Canadiense & NOSAWA Rongai Vs Abdullah The Butcher, CIMA & Arcángel de la Muerte

Omega Loses To Devitt, But Golden Lovers Get Title Shot

September 3, 2010

NJPW “KOTETSU YAMAMOTO MEMORIAL SHOW”, 9/3/10 (Samurai! TV)
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
7. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Prince Devitt (c) defeated Kenny Omega with the Bloody Sunday (17:29).

DDT’s involvement in New Japan led to the main event of today’s NJPW show dedicated to Kotetsu Yamamoto. The rare Gaijin Vs Gaijin main event had Prince Devitt successfully defend his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title over Kenny Omega. While this was a setback for DDT, they have another chance to take away some New Japan gold in the future. On the 11th October in Sumo Hall, the Golden Lovers team of Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi will get a shot at the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships against either Apollo 55 or Gedo & Jado. Both teams have history with the DDT duo. Omega has already beaten Ryusuke Taguchi twice while Ibushi has faced off with Devitt a couple of times in Best Of The Super Junior tournaments, the most high profile bout being from this year’s grand final. Meanwhile, Jado was injured by dives from Ibushi & Omega the last time they fought each other, while Gedo has been a thorn in Ibushi’s side ever since last year’s Super J Cup. No matter who winds up as the champions, either team against the Golden Lovers will create a very exciting IWGP Jr. Tag Title match.
