KUDO has now reached his third defense of the KO-D Openweight Title, beating the title reigns of previous Sumo Hall main event champions Kota Ibushi and HARASHIMA. KUDO told Masa Takanashi there were no hard feelings between them and he offered to go drinking with Masa after the show. He also nominated HARASHIMA to be his next challenger and for their title match to take place at the 27/11 Korakuen Hall show. KUDO compared HARASHIMA to Goku from Dragon Ball Z and said that to beat him, KUDO will have to be Vegeta!

Minoru Tanaka, who has recently gone back to using that name as a tribute to BattlARTS, scores a vital victory over Kenny Omega in the run up to their AJPW Jr. Title match on 27/11. As if the loss was not bad enough, Omega’s left knee was in great pain after the match. Now Minoru has a target to focus his attacks on for the title match.

Poison JULIE Sawada & Gorgeous Matsuno have joined forces and challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to a KO-D Tag Team Title match.

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.

Masa Takanashi finds himself in the same main event spot Hikaru Sato was in this time last year. The 2010 “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL” show had Sato become the KO-D Openweight Champion in dramatic fashion, defeating HARASHIMA and halting his KO-D Title run that began at Sumo Hall. Takanashi can repeat the same achievement when he goes up against the champion KUDO.

Kenny Omega’s first challenger for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title has been confirmed to be Minoru, a supernova of the Japanese Jr. Heavyweight scene. Their title match will take place in DDT, which I’ll get to below. But before that match happens, Kenny will be teaming up with HARASHIMA to take on the Junior Stars of Minoru & Koji Kanemoto in Osaka on 6/11.

6. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi

A correction for the match involving the Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health duo of Yoshiaki Yago & Madoka with the oriental couple BENTEN & Miyako. It turns out that Yago will not be facing BENTEN but will in fact have some sort of match against Miyako! BENTEN will be in Miyako’s corner while Yago will have his “Good Nurse” Madoka by his side for the bout.

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.

Hikaru Sato is the brand new KO-D Openweight Champion after a whirlwind period that saw his value grow higher and higher. Along with finishing second in the DDT48 Election, a shocking win over Kota Ibushi earned him a shot at HARASHIMA. Sato did to the champion what he did to Ibushi and that was rip his God damn arm off! The build up running up to the show was focused on Hikaru Sato. A video promo had Sato ask himself “What do I dream about? My dream wrestling match.” He came out to new theme music (“Electro World” by Perfume) and was showered in paper streamers from the Osaka fans. He was even accompanied by both the members of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation and the former Belt Hunter X Hunter stables. HARASHIMA was accompanied by his fellow DISASTER-BOX teammates. Sato targeted the arm with Cross Armbreakers, a Keylock and Triangle Chokes including one hanging from the ropes. After 21 minutes, the Cross Armbreaker was too much for HARASHIMA to take and Yukinori Matsui had to call for the match to end. Afterwards, Sato told the fans  that his victory “…was a dream of mine. It was a dream for everyone!” He admitted that he will still be a fool from time to time and hoped that fans will continue to support him in DDT and also wrestling in Osaka in general. After his speech, Sato called Dick Togo to the ring in order to say he is prepared for their match on the 28th November. Togo congratulated the new champion but said he will let his actions in the ring do all the talking.

The Golden Lovers no longer have to worry about Apollo 55 chasing after their IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships for now. Kota Ibushi pinned Ryusuke Taguchi with the Phoenix Splash in a turbo paced title match that went full speed from the beginning. The Lovers’ next challengers look to be Gedo & Jado and there is no love lost between these two teams.

Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki won the KO-D Tag Team Championships from the Butt Samurai team of Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino. Honda & Sasaki stole the belts from Dino during the Shin-Kiba 1st RING 5th Anniversary show. The plot was created by Honda to get revenge on Dino for a traumatising event that happened when the two shared an apartment together two years ago. What happened was one day Honda brought home a pudding that he was saving for later and he left it in the fridge. He even labelled the pudding so Dino would know it was for Honda. However, while Antonio was taking a bath, Dino became hungry and found the pudding in the fridge. He never noticed the label and ate the entire pudding. When Honda found out he tried not to get upset about it. However, as each day passed Honda’s anger grew like thorns stabbing in his heart until it finally reached it’s breaking point. So Honda joined up with his “true friend” Daisuke Sasaki to plan his revenge. They stole the belts, got Dino to accept their challenge for a title match and, most gratifying of all, Honda pinned Dino to win the belts. However, Honda & Sasaki already have a target on their backs. GENTARO & Yasu Urano challenged them to a title match for 28th November. DDT GM Tsurumi Amon accepted their request so the match is set for Korakuen Hall.

Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano are now together as a stable. Yasu was seen with a t-shirt wrapped around his waist that said GRANMA. That might be the name of the new stable.

Sanshiro Takagi & Yoshiaki Yago teamed up for what was supposed to be a three match series in a bid to get rid of Yago’s ring rust aswell as to patch things up between the two before Takagi leaves for Union. In all three matches, Sanshiro accidentaly clocked Yago with a Clothesline that would lead to the team losing to the Suicide Boyz, the former Nuru Nuru Brothers and Toru Owashi & Hideki Shiota. A surprise fourth match then took place as Tsurumi Amon invited Takaku Fuke & Kuishinbo Kamen from Osaka Pro to take part in the series. Takagi once again Clotheslined Yago by accident but this time Yago avoided being pinned and trapped Kuishinbo in the Cobra Twist to finally win a match.

Yukihiro Abe’s cosplay for the day was from the anime series “K-On!
