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.

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.

DDT At Ice Ribbon – Title Changes

June 17, 2011

Masa Takanashi had a hectic day over in Ice Ribbon, a promotion he works with when he is away from DDT, in an event that led to the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changing hands several times throughout the evening. At the very beginning of the show, Masa lost the title to Ice Ribbon founder Emi Sakura. Sakura then defeated Remi Nagano in the regularly scheduled match, only to lose the belt to Nagano afterwards when Nagano took advantage of the 24/7 rules. Her title run was very brief as Hikari Minami ran in and quickly defeated Nagano to become the new champion. An hour later Emi Sakura won back the title from Minami only to drop it back over to Masa Takanashi, who left the show as champion. If Masa is still champion by the time DDT holds its next Korakuen Hall show on 19/6, then his official return match against Keisuke Ishii will be for the belt.

Speaking of Ice Ribbon, Chou-un Shiryu & Makoto Oishi won the International Ribbon Tag Team Championships on 11th June by defeating recently crowned champs Hamuko Hoshi & Mochi Miyagi, aka The Lovely Butchers. However, three days later Oishi was put on the injured list with a knee problem. They are still champions at the moment but plans may change depending on how long Oishi will be gone for.

Two KO-D Title Matches, Official Masa Comeback

May 6, 2011

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

1. Masa Takanashi Comeback – Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs GENTARO
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa or GENTARO (c) Vs Takao Soma

Shuji Ishikawa has a tough challenge ahead for his title reign. He will defend the KO-D Openweight Title against GENTARO on 19th July when GENTARO cashes in his “Anytime And Anywhere” contract. But that is not all for the championship on that night. There will be not one but two KO-D Title matches taking place in Korakuen Hall with the winner of Shuji Ishikawa Vs GENTARO taking on Takao Soma afterwards. Takao Soma has seen his profile in DDT rise ever since he won the Young Drama Cup. Since then, he has taken over the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation and revamped it to be a threat instead of a joke. Now he will have the advantage of being the fresh man in his title match.

We had the surprising return of Masa Takanashi at “MAX BUMP 2011” to announce his comeback match at the 19th June Korakuen Hall show. He will take on Keisuke Ishii in his first match since injuring his right knee last May and it will be for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. When Masa and Keisuke had a faceoff at “MAX BUMP 2011”, Ishii used the 24/7 rule to his advantage by rolling over Masa with a Small Package to win the title when Masa least expected it. However, Masa quickly did the same to Ishii to win the belt back. Now they will meet in a proper match with the title on the line.

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

1. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Genichiro Tenryu
2. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Seiya Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki
3. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs MIKAMI

MIKAMI earned a shot at the DDT Extreme Title when he and Jun Kasai defeated Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data at “GOLDEN UNION 2011”.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Dick Togo (c) with the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain (31:18).
*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:

Makoto Oishi Vs Kenny Omega
Antonio Honda Vs Seiya Morohashi
KUDO Vs Yasu Urano
Hikaru Sato Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
Daisuke Sasaki Vs Super Shit Machine
HARASHIMA Vs MIKAMI
Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie
Kota Ibushi Vs Michael Nakazawa

Help Out Masa Takanashi

July 22, 2010
One of the most enjoyable aspects of DDT is finding talent in some of the most unlikely people. Much like the original ECW, DDT’s roster is made up of odd folk, misfits and people who look out of place just by standing inside the wrestling ring, let alone competing in one. But appearances can be deceiving and you never know just how talented someone can be by just looking at them. Masa Takanashi is one such person. A dropout of the Toryumon wrestling school, Masa debuted in 2003 and was a low carder for most of his career. In DDT he slowly climbed up the ranks and started to establish himself (and his French cousin) in a feud with the Italian Four Horsemen. Earlier this yeat, Masa pulled off the performance of his life in an attempt to win the KO-D Openweight title from Daisuke Sekimoto. The match earned rave reviews and could be considered a genuine Match Of The Year Candidate. Unfortunately, shortly after that match, Masa suffered a serious injury to his right knee, putting him on the shelf indefinitly. Over in Japan, the DDT gang have done some fundraisers to help pay for Masa’s medical bills. That’s when my fellow Irish puro addict and all round good egg Alan4L came up with an idea. I’ll let him explain the rest:
ok lads, here’s the dealio.

As you all may or may not know, DDT wrestler Masa Takanashi suffered a very serious knee injury a couple of weeks back. It came shortly after he gave us one of the better matches of the year in wrestling when he wrestled DDT champ Daisuke Sekimoto.

Well, as would be expected with a guy from DDT who isn’t a major star, Takanashi isn’t exactly rolling in money. Unfortunately his surgery and other medical bills are as costly as you may think and he just plain can’t afford them. DDT have done some fundraisers for fans in Japan to help, and I believe they’ve been a nice boost. However there’s still a ways to go.

I figured that fans on this side of the world who were fans of Masa, DDT, or puro in general might want the opportunity to help also. I’ve been in touch with Michael Nakazawa about this, and he said it would be absolutely amazing and Takanashi would be bowled over by the thought of US and European fans helping him.

A paypal account will be setup and 100% of the proceeds (obviously) will go to Masa.

Thanks guys!

So let’s help Masa out. Also, when you donate choose “gift” on the options. Thank you for helping.
