*Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie become the 40th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

Generation rivals Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie will now have to stick with each other as they became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! They defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi of the new Homoiro Clover Z group to win the vacant titles. It was a pretty nasty finish as Ishii dropped Dino right onto his face with an Exploder Suplex before hitting him with the match winning Kneel Kick. The new champions shook each others hands and celebrated, putting behind their differences to become the new tag team to beat in DDT.

Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa tried to do the Golden Shower onto KUDO during their match, but MIKAMI tripped them off of the top rope.

The annual Sapporo fight between Hiroki the ninja and Chiharu the karate guy was booked as a tag team match this year. Hiroki had Sanshiro Takagi as his tag partner while Chiharu sided with Michael Nakazawa. That was not all. The match would also be a 100 Nunchaku & Pots Death Match and Kota Ibushi was there to do the ring announcements. Nunchaku and coat hangers were placed hanging on the ring ropes while small flower pots, ones made of plastic and ones made of clay, were placed on the ring canvas beneath them. Nakazawa suffered a bloody gash over his right shoulder from the finish. However, he was able to take his forfeit for losing the match. The forfeit was Nakazawa had to place a flower pot over his head with a firecracker inside it while Ibushi lit the cracker’s fuse. It turned out to be a harmful experience for both of them.

Forget Ibushi’s shoulder. With the way he plays with fireworks, one of these days he is going to lose some fingers.

Sapporo Teisen Hall will be very busy on 9th and 10th October as there will be five shows taking place in the building. K-DOJO and Freedoms are holding shows on the 9th while the 10th will have DDT and Big Japan shows. The series of events will end with a global-themed collaboration show featuring wrestlers from all five groups, plus a few foreign talent aswell.

The previous Pull Down Cover Death Match took place in DDT back in January 2009. In order to win, the wrestler must drape his country’s flag over his prone opponent while pinning him. Antonio Honda will be defending Japan’s pride against the American MASADA.

I have no idea who Dante, Motley Crue S and Toucans & Chocho Lina are or if I got their names translated correctly.

NSF, 15/10/2011
Denim and Diamonds Temple, Texas, USA

Michael Nakazawa Vs Ryan Genesis

Believing that he has now conquered Japan with laughter, Michael Nakazawa is heading over to America to do the same thing. Nakazawa will be appearing in Texas for the New School Federation to wrestle Ryan Genesis on 15th October. Genesis has made a handful of appearances for DDT and Union during 2011, the highlight of which was becoming one of Bob Sapp’s assassins sent to fight Danshoku Dino.


Kenny Gets AJPW Jr. Title Shot, KO-D Tag Title Match In Sapporo

September 27, 2011

AJPW “PRO-WRESTLING LOVE IN RYOGOKU VOL. 13”, 23/10/2011
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: KAI (c) Vs Kenny Omega

Just like in the Best Of The Super Jr. tournament back in June, Kenny Omega came so close to winning the 2011 AJPW Jr. Heavyweight League. Omega finished second place in Block A behind the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion and eventual tournament winner, KAI. Omega defeated KAI, BUSHI and BLACK BUSHI but what cost him were losses to Kaz Hayashi and MINORU. Hikaru Sato was also in the tournament but could only finish fifth in Block B, beating Jimmy Yang and MAZADA but losing to Hiroshi Yamato, Koji Kanemoto and Shuji Kondo.

Luckily for Omega, he was the only person in the tournament to beat KAI and for that he has been granted a title shot. He will face KAI for the belt at Sumo Hall on 23rd October.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Poison JULIE Sawada & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & DJ Nira
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Hiroki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Chiharu
3. MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi
4. HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomoya Adachi & Takao Soma
5. KUDO & Hikaru Sato Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
6. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

The vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles will be on the line in the main event. Tsurumi Amon thinks the rivalry between Shigehiro Irie and Keisuke Ishii will translate into one well-oiled machine of a tag team. Irie briefly held the KO-D Tag belts with Munenori Sawa back in June while Ishii is coming off of a failed KO-D Openweight Title challenge.

Speaking of Munenori Sawa, this will be one of his last shows in DDT before his retirement. Best to enjoy his team with Sanshiro Takagi while we still can. Meanwhile Takagi will be working double duty by wrestling in the semi-main as well as what I think is a mixed tag match.

DDT “NON-FIX 11.13”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Hard Hit “ATLANTIS”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Frantic Card Reshuffling, Ibushi’s Replacements

September 12, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 9.18”, 18/09/2011
Chiba Blue Field

1. 3 Way: Darkside HERO! Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Masa Takanashi
2. Poison JULIE Sawada & Keisuke Ishii Vs MIKAMI & Daisuke Sasaki
3. Yasu Urano Vs Hiro Tonai
4. HARASHIMA Vs HERO!
5. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Yuji Hino & Ryuichi Sekine
6. Danshoku Dino & YOSHIHIKO Vs Antonio Honda & Michael Nakazawa
7. KUDO Vs Makoto Oishi

With Kota Ibushi now out of action for the forseeable future, DDT has a big hole to fill on their cards. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures and DDT went searching for the only man they knew they could rely on to replace Ibushi. Luckily for them, he has accepted their offer and has come to the rescue. YOSHIHIKO will now be replacing Ibushi on the “NON-FIX 9.18” card in Chiba Blue Field. Like I said, desperate times, desperate measures.

DDT “DDT48 Election”, 25/09/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Gorgeous Matsuno Vs YOSHIHIKO
2. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiro Tsumaki
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Yasu Urano
4. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs El Generico & Hiroya Fukuda
6. DDT Vs Union: KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka

However, DDT went and found another replacement for Ibushi this time at the “DDT48 Election” show in Korakuen Hall. El Generico comes back to DDT to team with Hiroya Fukuda from Union to fight Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. That’s right, the dream match of Danshoku Dino Vs El Generico will now come true! I mean sure, it’s the kind of dream you get when you eat a lot of cheese at night before going to sleep, but it’s a dream match none the less!

The teams have been chosen for the DDT Vs Union 6-Man Tag Team main event. DDT will be represented by the Caps Lock squad of KUDO, HARASHIMA & MIKAMI. Union has a mix of three seperate factions, Union ace Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi of the TKG48 and Kengo Ohka from the Susan Guard.

Another match to watch out for is Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie. I have become a big fan of both wrestlers over the year. Their matches against each other has lead to an entertaining generation rivalry between the two. Ishii is coming off of a loss to KUDO over the KO-D Openweight Title, but has grown into a confident wrestler who still has a bright future ahead of him. Irie is the lovable big brute of both DDT and Union. With a KO-D Tag Team Title reign and pinfalls over Kota Ibushi and Shuji Ishikawa listed under his recent accomplishments, Irie is quickly climbing the ranks of both brands. He will be looking to avenge his defeat to Ishii at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2011”.

There are plenty more matches to come for this show. This is because every wrestler involved in this year’s DDT48 Election (except for Ibushi) will compete and get one last chance to campaign for votes from the fans. In order to fit everyone in, every match except the main event will have a ten minute time limit.

DDT “CAMPING-GROUND PRO-WRESTLING OM”, 26/09/2011
Yamanashi Natureland Om

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. 4 Way: HARASHIMA & KUDO Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa Vs Isami Kodaka & Ken Ohka

HARASHIMA will now take Ibushi’s place on the Campsite show.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL IN SAPPORO”, 10/10/2011
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi
2. KUDO & Hikaru Sato Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
3. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs X & X

The KO-D Tag Team Championship has now been vacated. Danshoku Dino will have a chance to win back the belts with his other Homoiro Clover Z partner Makoto Oishi in Sapporo. Their opponents will be determined in a mini tournament to be held before then.


DDT “SAPPORO PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL” Results

October 15, 2010

Sorry, but I don’t have results for the big indy get together show held on the same day.

DDT “SAPPORO PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL”, 10/10/2010
Sapporo Teisen Hall
371 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi defeated Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato when HARASHIMA pinned Nakazawa with the SOMATO (13:29).
2. Nunchucks & Nunchucks Board Death Match: Hiroki defeated Chiharu by KO with the Drunken Master Elbow (10:03).
3. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano defeated Keisuke Ishii & DJ Nira with a Bridging Back Body Drop (10:04).
4. Dick Togo & GENTARO defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Takao Soma when GENTARO pinned Soma with the Diving Elbow (7:49).
5. Tomoya defeated Antonio Honda with the S.O.D. (14:05).
6. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Futoshi Miwa defeated Sanshiro Takagi, KUDO & Yukihiro Abe when Omega pinned Abe with the Croyt’s Wrath (16:03).
7. KO-D Tag Team Title: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) defeated MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba when Koshinaka pinned MIKAMI with the Power Bomb (14:31).
*V2 for Koshinaka & Dino.

Two successful defences against two of DDT’s top tag teams. Danshoku Dino & Shiro Koshinaka are doing very well at the moment. Plus Dino has the KO-D Openweight Title match with HARASHIMA coming up, so he could end up carrying most of the gold in DDT.

The Nunchucks & Nunchucks Board Death Match was presented like a Lighttube Deathmatch you would see in Big Japan. There were loads of nunchucks and coathangers hanging from the ropes, large boards resting in the corner with nunchucks stuck to them and spots where the items were piled up and the wrestlers were slammed onto them. This was a rematch to a similar contest between Hiroki and Chiharu from last year, which Hiroki also won by KO. Sanshiro Takagi was the referee for the bout.

Futoshi Miwa is now wearing proper wrestling gear, a fluorescent green one strap singlet. Still overweight though.


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.
