DDT “NON-FIX 11.13” Results

November 13, 2011

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

1. Michael Nakazawa & Kazuki Hirata defeated Hikaru Sato & Rion Mizuki when Nakazawa submitted Mizuki with the Michael Never Cry (8:32).
2. DJ Nira & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Matsuno pinned Irie with a School Boy (6:22).
3. Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Keita Yano defeated MIKAMI, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hoshitango when Honda pinned Matsunaga with the Diving Fist Drop (11:15).
4. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Danshoku Dino Vs Makoto Oishi ended in a No Contest when the referee was attacked (7:15).
Audition Participants: Hiroshi Fukuda, Akito, DJ Nira, Speed Of Sound and Mitsuya Nagai.
5. Kenny Omega defeated Takao Soma with the Croyt’s Wrath (14:15).
6. KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki when KUDO pinned HARASHIMA with a Buzzsaw Kick (11:10).

In their first of two tag team bouts today, KUDO scored the victory over his KO-D Openweight Title challenger HARASHIMA in the main event. KUDO was just a little too fast for HARASHIMA as he rolled out of a Jackknife Pin hold and struck his unprepared opponent with a Buzzsaw Kick. Afterwards KUDO spoke on the mic about how he would not see himself as a true champion in DDT until he defeats HARASHIMA in the KO-D title match on 22nd November in Korakuen Hall.

Kota Ibushi announced that his shoulder injury cannot fully recover without surgery. He will be having shoulder surgery in a few days time, extending his absence from the competing in the ring (and the campsite, and the street, and the shopping mall, and the factory, so on and so on).

Tsurumi Amon decided to add some handicap pinfall rules to Match #2 to aid Gorgeous Matsuno due to his ill health. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie had to pin either Gorgeous Matsuno or DJ Nira for five seconds in order to win the match. Meanwhile Matsuno & Nira only had to pin the KO-D Tag Team Champions for one second to win. Matsuno was able to do that on Irie and as a reward, he and Poison JULIE Sawada will challenge Ishii & Irie for the belts at Korakuen Hall later this month. However, Matsuno suddenly fainted backstage shortly after the match. This now puts the KO-D Tag Title match into doubt.

Michael Nakazawa challenged Hikaru Sato to a singles match at Korakuen Hall on 27/11.

Kazuki Hirata suffered a concussion in the opener. He will miss the rest of today’s shows as a result.

Full Tripleshot Cards, Homoiro Clover Z Auditions

November 7, 2011

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

1. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Danshoku Dino Vs X
2. Hikaru Sato & Rion Mizuki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Kazuki Hirata
3. Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & X Vs MIKAMI, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hoshitango
4. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs DJ Nira & Gorgeous Matsuno
5. Kenny Omega Vs Takao Soma
6. KUDO & Daisuke Sasaki Vs HARASHIMA & Masa Takanashi

Gorgeous Matsuno has requested a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Poison JULIE Sawada as his partner. However, Tsurumi Amon is not convinced they deserve to get the title shot. He thinks they will have to defeat the champions first before they can go after the belts. Sawada will not be appearing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 13/11 so Amon has told Matsuno to team with DJ Nira to take on the champs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie at the show. If Matsuno & Nira win, then Matsuno & Sawada will be given a title shot to be held at 27/11.

The Let’s Go 30’s pair of Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda are going back to the drawing board after failing to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Part of their new strategy will be to bring in a third member to their group, who will be revealed at this show.

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

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Tanomusaku Toba Vs Kotaro Nasu
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Ryuichi Sekine
4. Madoka Vs Kengo Mashimo
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takaku Fuke
6. KUDO & Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA & Mitsuya Nagai
7. Hikaru Sato Vs Daisuke Sekimoto

UNION “FANTASY ILLUSION 5”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Cherry Tag Match: Giant Cherry & Nice Body Cherry Vs Mrs. Cherry & Chinese Cherry
2. S-Ovation Vs M-Ovation: Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata Vs Shigeko Deluxe & Hiroko Mangrove
3. Masako Takanashi & Kazue Hirata Vs Kaori Yoneyama & Leon
4. Handsome Shirai Vs Kenko Ohka
5. Cherry Vs Aja Kong

If you like your pro wrestling to have cross dressing then boy are you in for a treat (I can’t believe I typed that). Handsome Shirai Vs Kenko Ohka sounds like a gender swapped version of the Mio Shirai Vs Ken Ohka feud, Masako Takanashi is Masa Takanashi, Kazue Hirata is Kazuki Hirata, Shigeko Deluxe & Hiroko Mangrove are the female cheerleader alter egos of Shigehiro Irie & Shuji Ishikawa respectively and Chinese Cherry will obviously be Chou-un Shiryu. My guesses for the other Cherry knock offs are Hoshitango for Giant Cherry, Big Morohashi for Nice Body Cherry and Sanshiro Takagi for Mrs. Cherry/Cherry’s mother.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2011”, 27/11/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Homoiro Clover Z Audition: Hikari Minami Vs X
2. AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Minoru Tanaka
3. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Homoiro Clover Z will be holding “auditions” for the rest of this month to find their newest member. Hikari Minami from Ice Ribbon is the first name added to the audition. She caught their attention when she and Sanshiro Takagi defeated Clover members Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi at “OSAKA BAY BLUES”. So far the official members of Homoiro Clover Z are Danshoku Dino, Kota Ibushi, Makoto Oishi and KUDO.


Dick Togo American Vacation, Hard Hit Card

October 28, 2011

“THE INDIE SUMMIT 2011”, 03/12/2011
Asylum Arena, Philadelphia, USA

1. Yoshihito Sasaki Vs Sami Callihan
2. Dick Togo Vs KUDO
3. Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazawa Vs Ryuji Ito & Danny Havoc

Some matches have finally been announced for The Indie Summit 2011, a joint show produced by Combat Zone Wrestling featuring Japanese wrestlers from DDT, Big Japan, Freedoms and K-DOJO. Dick Togo will also be involved as his global retirement tour stops by the United States during December. Togo returns to the infamous Asylum Arena for the first time since the Chikara King Of Trios weekend back in April. KUDO will be one of DDT’s representatives, the most important one if he is still the KO-D Openweight Champion by the time the show takes place, and will be the one facing Togo in the former ECW Arena. Danshoku Dino is the only other DDT wrestler confirmed for the show so far. Kengo Mashimo from K-DOJO and Takashi Sasaki & Kamui from Freedoms will also be wrestling at the show.

PWG “FEAR”, 10/12/2011
American Legion Post #308, California, USA

El Generico Vs Dick Togo

One week later, Dick Togo will travel to Reseda, California for a highly anticipated Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event. While all the attention for this show is on the return of Super Dragon, the big highlight of the undercard is Togo’s clash with the current DDT Extreme Champion, El Generico.

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

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Tanomusaku Toba Vs Kotaro Nasu
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Ryuichi Sekine
4. Madoka Vs Kengo Mashimo
5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takaku Fuke
6. KUDO & Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA & Mitsuya Nagai
7. Hikaru Sato Vs Daisuke Sekimoto

Hard Hit evens sort of lean more towards the kind of wrestling matches you would find in old shoot-style promotions such as UWF-I. Hard Hit matches can be won via pinfall, submission, knockout, disqualification and count out. There is also a points system in place that can determine when matches can end by TKO. In singles matches both wrestlers begin the match with 5 points each. For tag team bouts both teams start off with 8 points each. A wrestler loses a point when he is knocked down or uses a rope break. He also loses a point if he is called for a foul more than once. When a wrestler’s points tally reaches zero, he automatically loses the fight by TKO.

Change To This Friday’s Monthly Young Card

October 26, 2011

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS OCTOBER EDITION”, 28/10/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shota Vs Rion Mizuki
2. Akito & Mikio Kageyama Vs Kotaro Nasu & Daichi Sasaki
3. Shigehiro Irie & Toru Sugiura Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Hiroshi Fukuda
4. Kazuki Hirata Vs King Fale
5. Keisuke Ishii Vs Hiro Tsumaki

Some changes have been made to the second match on the card. Takao Soma is still out of action due to illness. Also Hiro Tonai has pulled out of the show after suffering a lower back injury. The new match is now Akito teaming up with Mikio Kageyama from DEP to take on Kotaru Naso and a wrestler coming all the way from Michinkou Pro, Daichi Sasaki.


Takao’s Tag Trouble, Hirata’s Gonna Fale, President Pervert

October 14, 2011

DDT “FUTURE HEAVEN! IN NAGOYA 2011”, 30/10/2011
Nagoya Club Diamond Hall

1. HERO! Last DDT Match: HARASHIMA & HERO! Vs X & X
2. KO-D Tag Team Title Contendership: Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano Vs Takao Soma & Akito
3. Special Singles Match: Hikaru Sato Vs Danshoku Dino

Takao Soma isn’t very happy that Keisuke Ishii won an important championship in DDT before he did. After Ishii and Shigehiro Irie became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions in Sapporo, Soma told interviewers backstage that “It sucks that Ishii won a belt before me.” He was also upset that Ishii was the person chosen to team with Irie for the title match instead of himself. That is understandable since Soma and Irie had been doing very well as the TKG48’s resident tag team in DDT. Soma will be doing something about it and has picked Akito to form a new tag team in the hopes of getting a title shot in the distant future. However, they will face a difficult challenge in the forms of Antonio Honda & Yasu Urano. Both men are former KO-D Tag Team Champions and have been recently teaming together.

Kenny Omega, Shigehiro Irie, Daisuke Sasaki, Mr. #6, Toru Sugiura & DJ Nira are all confirmed to be taking part at this show.

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS OCTOBER EDITION”, 28/10/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shota Vs Rion Mizuki
2. Takao Soma & Akito Vs Hiro Tonai & Kotaro Nasu
3. Shigehiro Irie & Toru Sugiura Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Hiroshi Fukuda
4. Kazuki Hirata Vs King Fale
5. Keisuke Ishii Vs Hiro Tsumaki

We have another DDT Vs New Japan young lion battle here. This time NJPW is sending over their giant Tongan wrestler King Fale to fight Kazuki Hirata.

DDT “PRESIDENT PERVERT! ~ LAST BIG WRESTLING MATCH ON THE STREET”, 04/11/2011
Tokyo Asakusa Flower Mansion

1. 3 Way Tag: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Danshoku Dino & Chou-un Shiryu

The President Pervert in the show’s title is none other than Michael Nakazawa. He will be the special guest announcer for the event.

Chou-un Shiryu is looking forward to tangling with Munenori Sawa one last time before Sawa retires. Shiryu believes the only way Sawa could beat him was if he resorted to using Kung Fu for the match. The Brahman Brothers are the wild cards here and will no doubt be carrying a container filled with creepy crawlies for their opponents to suffer through.


DDT “NON-FIX 10.5” Results

October 5, 2011

DDT “NON-FIX 10.5”, 05/10/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
248 Fans

1. Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda defeated MIKAMI & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Cradle (8:36).
2. Poison JULIE Sawada defeated Rion Mizuki with the Pirates A GO GO (7:33).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Kazuki Hirata when Ishii pinned Hirata with the Kneel Kick (11:11).
4. Special Guest Referee: Darkside HERO! defeated HARASHIMA by DQ when HARASHIMA attacked the referee (Darkside HERO!) (0:18).
4a. No DQ: HARASHIMA defeated Darkside HERO! with the Somato (8:26).
5. Michael Nakazawa King Of Laughter Challenge: Michael Nakazawa defeated DJ Nira, Masa Takanashi & Danshoku Dino by making them all laugh (8:15).
6. Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when Sato submitted Oishi with the Cross Armbreaker (14:14).

Darkside HERO! being the referee for his own wrestling match caused some problems. He disqualified HARASHIMA for attacking him at the start of the match, even though he was supposed to since Darkside HERO! was his opponent. A rematch was declared immediately but this time under No DQ rules. Darkside HERO! was unmasked and revealed to be Tomomitsu Matsunaga. When HARASHIMA finally had Matsunaga beaten, Yukinori Matsui ran into the ring to make the three count.

HERO! appeared after the match to make peace with HARASHIMA and announce that he will be leaving at the end of October for personal reasons. He also said he never really liked Matsunaga. HERO! and HARASHIMA will team together for HERO!’s final DDT match for now in Nagoya on 30th October.

A TKG48 lumberjack match was announced for the 23rd October Korakuen Hall show. Sanshiro Takagi and Takao Soma are the only TKG48 members who qualified to wrestle at the show via the DDT48 General Election so it is likely one or both of them will be in that match with the lumberjacks made up of other TKG48 members.


Current Cards For October

September 30, 2011

DDT “NATIONAL CITY EVENT”, 01/10/2011
Asakusa ROX Supermulti Court

1. The Lightning Monster & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Asakusa Kid & Shigehiro Irie
2. KUDO & Keisuke Ishii Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

This is a charity event taking place in an area affected by the earthquakes from earlier this year. The actual location for the free show is a football field. Instead of wrestling inside a ring, the matches will take place on a large mat instead. But knowing DDT, the action will surely spill out around the premises. The Lightning Monster and Asakusa Kid are two wrestlers from a micro indy promotion called Hana Wrestling.

DDT “NON-FIX 10.5”, 05/10/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Michael Nakazawa Vs DJ Nira, Masa Takanashi & Danshoku Dino (w/ Kota Ibushi)
2. Poison JULIE Sawada Vs Rion Mizuki
3. Yasu Urano & Antonio Honda Vs MIKAMI & Hoshitango
4. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Kazuki Hirata
5. Special Guest Referee: HARASHIMA Vs Darkside HERO! (Referee: Darkside HERO!)
6. KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs Hikaru Sato & Takao Soma

Hikaru Sato is getting straight to work after winning the DDT48 General Election. He and KUDO face off in a Tag Team Main Event in the lead up to their KO-D Openweight Title match at the end of October. KUDO teams with his Homoiro Clover Z teammate Makoto Oishi in what will be Oishi’s first match as a full time DDT wrestler. Takao Soma will be at Sato’s side, the two earning each other’s respect over the last year.

Somehow HARASHIMA has gotten into a situation where his opponent will also the referee. Darkside HERO! has the advantage of bending the rules however it suits him. Will HERO! make an appearance so soon after losing to HARASHIMA?

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. Hikaru Sato Vs Masa Takanashi
4. HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomoya Adachi & Takao Soma
5. KUDO & MIKAMI Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa
6. KO-D Tag Team Title Decision Match: Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

Two matches have been changed due to Sato now becoming the No. 1 Contender. Sato was originally supposed to team with KUDO in the semi-main event. However, Sato has requested not to team with his future opponent on this show. So Sato will instead have a singles match with Masa Takanashi while MIKAMI will now team with KUDO to take on Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa.

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2011”, 23/10/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hardcore 4 Way: Isami Kodaka Vs Antonio Honda Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Michael Nakazawa
2. HARASHIMA Vs Ken Ohka
3. Cherry Vs MIKAMI
4. Masa Takanashi Vs DJ Nira
5. Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa
6. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Hikaru Sato


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

UNION “FANTASY ILLUSION 5”, 13/11/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

A Shin-Kiba 1st RING tripleshot is set for 13th November. DDT will hold a show, Hard Hit returns for its first event since April 2010 and Cherry will get to produce her fifth Fantasy Illusion.
