UNION “SUMMER FESTIVAL 2013”, 24/08/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
211 Fans – No Vacancy

1. FUMA & Daichi Kazato defeated Kotaro Nasu & SAGAT when FUMA pinned SAGAT with a Sole Butt (10:57).
2. Choun-Shiryu defeated Ryu Gouma with the Chinese Bombs Away (6:20).
3. Idea Pocket Presents – 4 Way Match: Menso~re Oyaji defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Mio Shirai and Kaori Yoneyama when Oyaji pinned Fukuda with a School Boy (0:19).
3a. Mio Shirai & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & Menso~re Oyaji when Shirai pinned Fukuda with a Headbutt (4:40).
4. Rumi Kazama Produce – A Little Early Union Ceremony Send-Off: GAMI defeated Cherry with a Cradle (7:57).
5. Feast Of Men Who Have Messed Up COOL: HAYATA & Takao Soma defeated Madoka & Mitomi Masayuki when HAYATA pinned Masayuki with a Moonsault (12:33).
6. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Seiya Morohashi when Kodaka pinned Morohashi with the Zan Isamu Leg (15:23).

Isami Kodaka challenged the Nazo Fukumen to a match against himself and Yuko Miyamoto at the next Union show. During the confrontation HAYATA suddenly appeared and unmasked Nazo Fukumen B, causing him to flee from ringside.

Cherry read a tearful goodbye message to GAMI after their match. She admitted it was selfish of her to ask for a singles match before GAMI retired. GAMI thanked Cherry and also the fans because she did not not know what kind of reaction she would get from them today.

The Idea Pocket prize this month was the chance to collaborate with Rika Seibi and Tsubasa Amami for a future project. Menso~re Oyaji won the match immediately with a roll up on Hiroshi Fukuda. Mio Shirai called out Oyaji and told him it was not a convincing victory. Kaori Yoneyama was also angry at the result. Amami said she would only do a collaboration if the person won a decent match. Shirai then demanded a tag team match between the men and the women to solve the dispute. The match went ahead and Shirai pinned Fukuda to win the prize. The idols suggested they could do a DVD or calender shoot together with Shirai. The DVD suggestion got a big pop from the crowd.

Ryu Gouma interrogated Choun-Shiryu over his true nationality before their match. Gouma began asking if it was correct that Choun debuted for Muscle in 2004 as a student from Peking University Graduate School. Choun said there was no doubt. Objection! Gouma looked at Wikipedia and found out that Shiryu went to a Japanese university. Shirai denied it because anyone can edit Wikipedia and fill it with fake information. When Gouma pressed further, Shiryu had enough and jumped him to start the match. He was able to beat Gouma with the Chinese Gory Bomb followed by the Chinese Bombs Away. That was enough to convince Gouma that he really is Chinese. Gouma apologised for doubting Shiryu.

Fukumen Invasion, Chinese Vampire, New Union Commentators

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY”, 05/04/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryu Gouma Return Match: Ryu Gouma Vs Choun-Shiryu (w/ Cao Zhang)
2. Seiya Morohashi, Cherry & Masato Shibata Vs Nao Fukumen A, Nako Fukumen P & Nazo Fukumen G
3. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Daichi Kazato
4. Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Kenny Omega, Cao Zhang & Menso~re Oyaji
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama (c) Vs Nazo Fukumen B

The threat from a group of mysterious masked people is beginning to grow in Union. The Nazo Fukumen now consists of four people. Nazo Fukumen P has told reporters the gang’s aim is to bring true peace to the world. Every conflict on the planet is caused by the entire human race facing different directions. If all humans lived facing the same direction, there would be peace. He then went on a rant about how American toilets are better than Japanese toilets, so no prizes for guessing who is under the mask. The Nazo Fukumen also aim to commercialize their mask and turn it into a popular piece of merchandise.

Choun-Shiryu has brought SAGAT back from China and he is looking… different. SAGAT is now a Chinese Vampire and is under Shiryu’s control. Shiryu aims to do the same to Ryu Gouma so he can add a Chinese Vampire Lawyer to his growing army.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Mio Shirai are the new commentators for Union’s online broadcasts. Despite their recent banishments from competing inside the Union ring, Naomi Susan was able to bring them back into the brand under non-wrestling roles.

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013” Results

February 13, 2013

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
251 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang when Fukuda pinned Zhang after hitting him with a medal (8:35).
2. Seiya Morohashi defeated Goro Jr. (w/ El Hijo del Goro) with the Crippler Crossface (8:38).
3. Winner Names & Designs New Championship: Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry & Mio Shirai when Yoneyama pinned Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (10:09).
4. Loser Withdraws From Union: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ken Ohka (w/ Mio Shirai) with the Kneel Kick (9:45).
*Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai are kind of forced to withdraw from Union.
5. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma and Daichi Kazato & SAGAT (11:09).
5a. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Wild Cat pinned Kazato (6:57).
5b. Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA eliminated Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma when Ishikawa pinned Soma with the Giant Clutch (8:33).
5c. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA when Wild Cat pinned FUMA (11:09).
6. Kengo Ohka defeated Isami Kodaka with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:53).

Kengo Ohka thanked Isami Kodaka for their match in the main event and told him he will remember it fondly. This may be Kengo’s last match in Union for a while and he might go back to wrestling as Kengo Mashimo the next time he wrestles here.

Seiya Morohashi has been nominated to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. Negotiations have begun to make Morohashi Vs Kenny Omega for the title happen sometime in the near future.

Ken Ohka and Keisuke Ishii fought each other with a lot on the line. If Ohka won, Ishii and the rest of Drift would be forced to leave Union. But if Ishii won, Ohka and Mio Shirai would have to do the same. Shirai did not want to have to rely on Ohka for her future in Union but eventually cheered for her “pet” to win. Ohka took down Ishii with the Spear Of Fire but Ishii recovered and was just too much for Ohka to handle. The Kneel Kick ended the match but Ishii decided to throw out the stipulation. Drift’s war with Union was exhausting him and he felt there was nothing to gain if all he did was beat up Ohka over and over. So Drift announced they are withdrawing from Union after today.

Naomi Susan was relieved the stipulation was gone and that Ohka and Mio could stay. However, Ohka now believed Union was too small for a “Messiah” like him and there are plenty of big name promotions he could now work for. Mio slapped some sense into Ohka and he eventually admitted he wants to stay in Union. But his mind was made up. He and Shirai would keep his word and leave Union.

However, Ohka and Shirai would make their presence felt again at the end of the show. Two masked figures interrupted the post show speeches by kidnapping Jun Kasai and holding him hostage under the threat of stabbings with a ball-point pen. The masked man and women demanded to be booked for a match at Union’s next show in Yokohama on 10th March. Naomi Susan easily recognised who the duo was and happily accepted their demand. She actually felt relieved that Ohka and Shirai quickly found a way to get back into Union.

Kaori Yoneyama won the right to name and design Union’s new championship. She hopes to have it finished in time for Union’s next show and promises to become the first champion.

SAGAT is now signed as a full time Union wrestler. He has been a part timer for the brand for almost a year. SAGAT is from Iruma, Saitama and was born on 26th July, 1990. He is 168cm high and weighs 100kg. His signature moves are the Gore Grind, the Belly To Belly Suplex and the Sole Butt.

Union’s other new rookie Mitomi Masayuki will have his first match for the brand in Yokohama on 10/3.

The lovely Princess Makoto did not accompany Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang for their match against Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai. Rumour has it she (literally) jumped ship from New Beijing Pro Wrestling to another Chinese promotion called Wrestling New Dynasty.

Loser Leaves Union, Who Will Design New Championship, America Vs China

February 1, 2013

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Seiya Morohashi Vs Goro Jr.
3. Cherry & Mio Shirai Vs Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama
4. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA Vs Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat Vs Daichi Kazato & SAGAT
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka
6. Ken Ohka Vs Keisuke Ishii

The one thing Keisuke Ishii has learned ever since he began wrestling in Union is that Ken Ohka is weak. He has fought against strong wrestlers but this is the first match Ishii knows he is by far the stronger wrestler. Ohka criticised Ishii for taking the match lightly and explained Ishii’s DDT Extreme Title reign was so short because he was not prepared enough. Ohka threw out a stipulation to show how serious he is. If Ishii wins, Ohka will resign from Union. But if Ohka wins, Team Dream Futures will withdraw from Union and leave them alone. Ishii accepted the conditions and guaranteed his victory. Mio Shirai suprisingly gave Ohka words of encouragement and told him never to give up.

Isami Kodaka is said to be enthusiastic he is facing Kengo Ohka one on one. They have wrestled each other before in a place where Ohka is better known as Kengo Mashimo and Kodaka wants to show how much he has improved since then.

Cherry once again had another major announcement to make. Except this time, it actually was pretty important. Cherry demanded that Union should create a championship for women and as the female face of Union she should be allowed to name and design the belt. Mio Shirai stepped in and said she should name and design the belt, since she finished ahead of Cherry in the DDT48 General Election and thus became Union’s top female wrestler. All the talk about championships attracted the attention of Kaori Yoneyama and if anyone knows about championships, it’s her. Naomi Susan settled the argument by booking a tag team match between Cherry & Shirai against Yoneyama & Masako Takanashi. Whoever wins the match will be given the rights to name and design the new championship.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai have sent out a challenge to New Beijing Pro Wrestling’s top tag team. Fukuda and Kasai have bonded over their love of all things American, even toilets. They agreed that even though traditional Japanese toilets are bad, China has even worse toilets because they don’t even have doors in their bathrooms. So Choun-Shiryu and Cao Zhang will travel over to Japan to defend the honour of their country… and their toilets.

UNION “THE DECEMBER UNION 2012” Results

December 24, 2012

UNION “THE DECEMBER UNION 2012”, 24/12/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
267 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Yasushi Sato defeated SAGAT with a Backslide Pin (4:18).
1. Ryuichi Sekine (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Mame Endo) with a High Kick (4:55).
2. Hida Kubota & Yasu Kubota defeated Goro Jr. & El Hijo del Goro when Hida Kubota pinned El Hijo del Goro with a Piledriver (5:24).
3. Reindeer Match: Ken Ohka defeated Mio Shirai when he took her reindeer hat (0:15).
3a. Mio Shirai defeated Ken Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock (3:26).
4. Menso~re Oyaji & Mr. #6 defeated Cherry & Gabaiji-chan when Mr. #6 pinned Cherry with a Cradle (10:19).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Seiya Morohashi, Hiro Tsumaki & Daichi Kazato when Ishii pinned Kazato with a Boston Crab (12:20).
6. Shuji Ishikawa & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

Union’s final show of the year ended with a 30 minute draw between four of its strongest wrestlers. At the beginning of the show it was announced that Keisuke Ishii will defend the DDT Extreme Title against Isami Kodaka on 14th January. The person who comes out as champion will then go to DDT and challenge Kenny Omega for the KO-D Openweight Title on 27th January.

Shuji Ishikawa will be in Big Japan the day before to face Abdullah Kobayashi a second time for the BJW Death Match Title.

Cherry had another important announcement today. This time she will begin learning English. Mio Shirai came down and called out Cherry for wasting everyone’s time by constantly announcing new hobbies. Masako Takanashi then appeared for the first time in a long time to talk about the LPGA. Somehow this leads to Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto being booked for 14th January.

Since it was Christmas, Hiroshi Fukuda was given a kiss on the cheek by both Rumi Kazama and Mame Endo. It was later announced that Fukuda will face Jun Kasai on 14/1. Fukuda hid under the ring when he found out about the match.

Ken Ohka finally scored a victory over Mio Shirai. However, it doesn’t sounds so great when you hear it was in a Reindeer Match where the first person to take off their opponent’s reindeer hat and shout “Gross!” wins. Ohka was able to do that in 15 seconds. The crowd booed the anti-climatic result and a rematch was immediately held under normal rules. This time around it was business as usual, Mio submitted Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock.

At the end of the show every member of the Union roster gave an end of year message. Naomi Susan thanked everyone for supporting Union. Ryu Gouma announced he wants to return to wrestling next year and he’ll do his best to be a dignified wrestling lawyer. Hiroshi Fukuda began a “USA!” chant and yelled “Love and peace! The war is over!” Rumi Kazama said she wanted to be Union’s top diva next year. Goro Jr. simply mumbled into the microphone. Ken Ohka said he was frustrated he lost so many matches but relied on the support of the Union fans. Mr. #6 said he wants to travel to the United States. Mio Shirai said she was No. 1 this year and will be the best next year. Hiro Tsumaki said he got a lot of solid training in Okinawa and now wants to win a championship. El Generico said he always wants to come back to Japan. Shuji Ishikawa said he will come back to Union with the BJW Death Match Title wrapped around his waist. Finally, Isami Kodaka finished the speech saying as the future ace of Union, he will help make the place fun, intense and spicy!

Cherry left some comments on the DDT website joking about how she has a weak waist. She’s even gone as far as to dare Mio to target her waist and hips during their match. Cherry also said she is looking forward to seeing Mio’s “pretty face under that heavy makeup!” With her secret age on the line, Cherry is determined not to lose no matter how hurt she is.

Masked Mystery is a Guts World wrestler.

UNION “SCHOOL FESTIVAL 2011” Results

October 19, 2011

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

1. BENTEN (w/ Miyako) Vs Onryo (w/ Masako Takanashi) ended in a Double Countout (6:06).
2. Yoshiaki Yago & Madoka defeated Lingerie Muto & Big Bang Lingerie when Yago pinned Muto after crotching him on the top rope (8:25).
3. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiro Tsumaki with the Isamu Leg (7:01).
4. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Cherry defeated Mio Shirai (c) with the Spring Night Love (5:24).
*Mio Shirai fails in V2. Cherry becomes the 6th Champion!
5. RG defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi by DQ when Kikuchi refused to let go of a Boston Crab (10:46).
6. Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara when Fukuda pinned Ohka with the Perfect Plex (11:04).
7. DDT Extreme Title Contendership – 3 Way: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Kengo Ohka when Takagi pinned Ishikawa with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (18:54).

Sanshiro Takagi now gets a match with El Generico for the DDT Extreme Championship at the “UNION 6TH ANNIVERSARY” show on 22nd November. As champion, El Generico gets to choose the stipulations for the match.

Mio Shirai began to cry after she lost the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title to Cherry. She was upset that without the title, she no longer had a reason to wrestle in Union anymore. Mio said she enjoyed wrestling in Union and then said goodbye to the fans.

However, later that night Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara with Fukuda getting his first pinfall victory in Union. After the match, Orihara began choking and stomping Ohka out of frustration. Mio returned to ringside to protect Ohka from Orihara. Right there, she found her reason to stay with Union. After all, Mio is still Ohka’s “Master” and only she gets to mistreat him. Orihara and Morohashi were not impressed and they challenged Ohka and Shirai to a tag match for the 6th Anniverary show.

Apparently Tsuyoshi Kikuchi originally beat RG with a Boston Crab but did not let go of the hold when the match ended, so the referee reversed the decision and disqualified him.

Before Match #3 could begin Hiro Tsumaki hit a Quebrada onto Isami Kodaka right before he was about to enter the ring. The two had a match that was described as a slugfest.

Yoshiaki Yago and Madoka did the DX entrance in nurse outfits for their match. The reason is because the Susan Guard had now disbanded and in its place would be a new group called the Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health. Yago, Madoka & Kengo Ohka declared that they will treat the sickness that exists in the wrestling world.

A bunch of names from Union’s past will show up for the 6th Anniversary show at Shinjuku FACE. They include Kazuhiko Ogasawara, A. YAZAWA, Mecha Mummy Lite, Poison Sawada, Sister Akiko, Takeshi Minamino, Ryu Gouma, Chou-un Shiryu and Apple Miyuki.

The main event for Cherry’s “FANTASY ILLUSION 5” at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 13th November was announced. Cherry better be ready for the fight of her life as she will take on Aja Kong!
