In a match that will get both late era WCW fans salivating, the DDT Extreme Title is on the line in a four corner pole match. A different item hangs in a bag from each of the poles. It’s been confirmed that two of the bags will contain a bra and a cole miner’s glove.

Hiroshi Fukuda is bringing along Yoshihiko to Osaka. His match with Masa Takanashi is now a 2-on-1 Handicap Match.

UNION “UNION HARVEST FESTIVAL 2015”, 15/09/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Mio Shirai & Ladybeard Vs GENTARO & X
2. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Aoi Kizuki (c) Vs Cherry
3. Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato, Yusuke Kubo & Masato Shibata Vs FUMA, MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT
4. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi

Before Shuji Ishikawa faces Isami Kodaka for the Union MAX Title, he takes Seiya Morohashi. Despite being a mainstay of Union, Morohashi was not part of the original group that jumped from DDT when the brand formed back in 2005. Morohashi instead joined a few years later. Ishikawa is proud of Morohashi’s time in Union. He brought up one time when he fell ill and had to pull out of a match. Morohashi took his place at the last minute and gave a physically intense performance. I bet the match he is talking about is Morohashi Vs Shigehiro Irie from July 2012. Ishikawa wants to thank Morohashi for always being there for Union.

Mio Shirai has requested GENTARO’s tag partner to be a female wrestler.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
1. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs X

A confrontation from this past Sunday leads Sanshiro Takagi down a risky path. Gota Ihashi is becoming more and more desperate to get rid of the King Of Dark Title.

199 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Union Withdrawl Contra Mask Match: Seiya Morohashi, Cherry & Masato Shibata Vs Nazo Fukumen A, Nazo Fukumen P & Nazo Fukumen G ended in a draw when Morohashi and Fukumen G both pinned each other with a Double Backslide (7:50).
*Seiya Morohashi withdraws from Union. Nazo Fukumen G is revealed to be Gabaiji-chan.
2. Ryu Gouma Return Match: Ryu Gouma defeated Choun-Shiryu (w/ SAGAT & Cao Zhang) with a Cradle (6:54).
3. Ryuichi Sekine & Kotaro Nasu defeated FUMA & Kazuhiko Ogasawara when Sekine pinned FUMA with the Dragon Rises (10:05).
4. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Daichi Kazato with a Cobra Twist (9:33).
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama (c) defeated Nazo Fukumen B with a Rolling Reverse Cradle (4:51).
*V1 for Kaori Yoneyama.
6. 6-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka defeated Kenny Omega, Cao Zhang & Menso~re Oyaji (28:11).
6a. Kenny Omega eliminated Madoka by Ring Out (12:17).

6c. Isami Kodaka eliminated Kenny Omega by Ring Out (26:23).
6d. Isami Kodaka eliminated Cao Zhang with the Isamu Leg Ki (28:11).

Isami Kodaka challenged Kenny Omega to a DDT Extreme Title match on 3rd May in Korakuen Hall. Nazo Fukumen A & P confronted the two and P said he should get a title shot… on 4th January. P said Union should have one giant match a year just like at Wrestle Kingdom. The Fukumen then attacked Kenny and Isami but were easily defeated.

The Nazo Fukumen also interfered in the Fly To Everywhere Title match. Cherry came to Kaori Yoneyama’s rescue and helped her defend the title. Yoneyama’s next defence will be in a 3 Way Match at the May Korakuen show against both Cherry and Nazo Fukumen B.

FUMA wrestled in a karate gi that was given to him by Kazuhiko Ogasawara.

Ryu Gouma was able to free SAGAT from Choun-Shiryu’s Chinese Vampire spell by feeding him bread. Shiryu has sworn he will get revenge on Gouma at Korakuen Hall and turn him into a Chinese Vampire Lawyer.

The war between Union and the Nazo Fukumen has caused even more casualties. Seiya Morohashi is the latest wrestler forced to withdraw from Union after getting pinned in a Mask Contra Withdrawl match. One of the Fukumen was also pinned and he unmasked. It was old man Gabaiji-chan! Morohashi was given a mini farewell ceremony including a video of his highlights in Union (2009: Morohashi joins Union. 2013: Morohashi withdraws from Union) and a fast 10 bell salute.

Mitomi Masayuki, the rookie who was supposed to debut last month until a traffic accident put him on the shelf announced he is going begin rehabbing the injuries.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Ken Ohka has jumped to DDT! He interrupted a meeting between Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi earlier today that was done to create hype for the 2-on-1 Handicap match that will determine whether or not Owashi deserves a spot in DDT. Barely a day has past since Ohka forced himself to resign from Union after his defeat to Keisuke Ishii in a Loser Leaves Town match yet he claims “The Messiah” is already in hot demand from other promotions. Both Takagi and Owashi told Ohka if that is true then he should go away and join WWE or TNA. Tsurumi Amon decided to make things fair for Owashi and turn the Handicap match into a Tag Team match with Ohka as his teammate.

Anyone who attends the 17/2 Korakuen Hall event will be able to vote for what kind of match Kenny Omega and Seiya Morohashi will have for their DDT Extreme Title bout in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Some of the suggestions Omega and Morohashi came up with are a TLC match, a Falls Count Anywhere match, an ABC match (match can only be won with a move beginning with the letter A, B or C), a First Blood match, a Bodybuilding match, a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match and a Stretch Match (first person to stretch his opponent wins).

7. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Splash Mountain (21:17).

Shuji Ishikawa capped off a great day by defeating Sanshiro Takagi and giving Union a big victory over the TKG48. After the match Sanshiro Takagi said that he will retire at the DDT Sumo Hall show on 24th July. Shuji was shocked at the announcement until Sanshiro cracked up and gave Shuji a Stone Cold Stunner. He then grabbed the mic and said “Gotta lie, motherfucker!”

After a successful match together as a tag team, Kazunari Murakami gave a gift to Seiya Morohashi. He offered Seiya to take his nickname and become BIG Morohashi. Seiya has not decided if he will take it yet.

Cherry Vs Bambi was given high praise and was said to be a very competitive match.

MIKAMI will challenge Isami Kodaka for the DDT Extreme Championship at Shinjuku FACE on 2nd June.

El Generico will return to Union for the same show. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Seiya/BIG Morohashi & Hiro Tsumaki will also happen. Another big match to take place on the card is Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Genichiro Tenryu!

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2011” Results

February 27, 2011

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2011”, 27/02/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,262 Fans

0. Seiya Morohashi defeated Hoshitango with the New Hair Solution (5:14).
1. Keisuke Ishii & Akito defeated MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki when Ishii submitted Mizuki with a Single Leg Crab Hold (5:27).
2. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga by DQ when Takao Soma interfered (10:14).
3. Kota Ibushi defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Phoenix Splash (8:19).
4. Winner Gets to Choose His Ryogoku Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Tanomusaku Toba, Kazuki Hirata & DJ Nira when Dino submitted Nira with a crab Hold (13:08).
5. No DQ Hair Vs Hair Match: Takao Soma defeated Hikaru Sato with a Schwein onto a metal barrell (14:13).
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: GENTARO & Yasu Urano (c) defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when Urano pinned KUDO with the Tombstone Piledriver (14:09).
*V1 for GENTARO & Yasu Urano.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) defeated HARASHIMA with the Modified Crippler Crossface (20:43).
*V1 for Dick Togo.

After defeating Shigehiro Irie in what was described as “a short but insanely good” match, Kota Ibushi nominated himself as the next challenger for the KO-D Openweight Title. He should be facing Dick Togo at the 27th March Korakuen Hall show.

The 27th March show will also feature what has become one of my favourite annual DDT matches in recent years, the Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal. The match is usually a combination of a Royal Rumble and a Ladder match. There are a number of prizes hanging above the ring, the most important of which is a Money In The Bank style contract that allows the holder to challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title at any show between then and Sumo Hall. Other prizes normally include dates with a female wrestler, a DDT contract or even the role of company CEO. After all of the prizes are gone, the Rumble part of the match continues with the winner of that match receiving a KO-D Title shot. Previous winners of the Money In The Bank contract are Yoshiaki Yago and Ken Ohka, with Ohka giving the contract to Shuji Ishikawa. Nobody has yet to cash it in with any success.

By winning match #4, Danshoku Dino was rewarded a chance to make his own match for the 24th July Sumo Hall event. It’s the bout that we all wanted to see (Right? Anyone?), Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp! The match was fought under Scramble Bunkhouse (Non) Deathmatch rules. Normally Scramble Bunkhouse matches have each wrestler placed at opposite sides of the arena and when the bell rings they have to rush to the ring. Here in DDT, it was done a little differently. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi started out in the ring, Kazuki Hirata was placed in Dick Togo’s dressing room, Tanomusaku Toba was spotted in the car park, DJ Nira was in the Tokyo Dome (!!!) and Dino was at the Metro Station outside Tokyo Dome City. When the match began, Kikuchi spent his time waiting for the opponents to come by running the ropes and taking bumps.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation grew in strength when their leader Takao Soma defeated Hikaru Sato in a No DQ Hair Vs Hair match. Despite Takao’s cronies Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga being banned from ringside, young Soma scored his biggest win to date over the former KO-D Champion and also got to shave him bald as a result. Afterwards the SHF introduced their newest member of the group, the Super Shit Machine! However, as soon as Super Shit Machine was introduced to the fans he, Soma & Matsunaga attacked Michael Nakazawa and kicked him out of the SHF. Soma called Nakazawa the weak link of the group and his new “weapon” was Michael’s replacement.

After taking the fall in the KO-D Tag Team Title match, KUDO challenged Yasu Urano to a singles match at DDT Dotonbori Story 9 in Osaka on 13th March.

Seiya Morohashi has become the spokesperson for Svenson Inc., a company that creates haircare and hair restoration products. They seem to be good quality as Seiya came out for his dark match against Hoshitango with a full head of hair instead of the large bald spot he used to have.
