CRUISER’S GAME Results

March 6, 2011

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st Ring
267 Fans

0. Battle Pink Ryota defeated Super Mask Man with a 450 plash (6:28).
1. Makoto Oishi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Hercules Senga defeated KUDO, Yuki Sato & Madoka when Oishi pinned Sato with the Miracle Ecstasy (11:02).
2. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi defeated Tanomusaku Toba with a Single Leg Crab (9:42).
3. HERO! & Marines Mask defeated Darkside HERO! & Cosmo ☆ Soldier when HERO! pinned Darkside HERO! with the HERO! Driver (12:24).
4. El Samurai defeated Natsuki☆Taiyo with a Chickenwing Armlock (9:03).
5. Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku defeated The Great Sasuke & MIKAMI when Togo pinned MIKAMI with the Diving Senton (20:58).

This was the tenth Cruiser’s Game show to take place since its creation in 2005.

Apparently the Great Sasuke earned the nickname “Lord Weird Uncle” after this show.

Tanomusaku Toba suffered a broken nose in his match against Tsuyoshi Kikuchi. I think the injury happened from a stiff Kikuchi Elbow Smash. He has pulled out of Keisuke Ishii’s Produce Show set to be held later today.

The DDT roster set up a flea market where they sold loads of different merchandise throughout the three shows. Danshoku Dino was willing to bargain with fans if they would put themselves into a “strong position”. Cherry meanwhile set up a Nico Nico Curry stall.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Due to GENTARO & Yasu Urano recently becoming the KO-D Tag Team Champions, their match against KUDO & Makoto Oishi has been upgraded into a title defence.

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st Ring

1. Battle Pink Ryota Vs Super Mask Man
2. El Samurai Vs Natsuki☆Taiyo
3. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Tanomusaku Toba

5. HERO! & Marines Mask Vs Darkside HERO! & Cosmo ☆ Soldier
6. The Great Sasuke & MIKAMI Vs Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku

This isn’t the first time HERO! and Darkside HERO! will fight against each other. They were on opposide sides in a Tag match during last year’s DISASTER-BOX show during Beer Garden week. HARASHIMA was HERO! but I don’t know who played the Darkside version in that match.

Cosmo ☆ Soldier is said to come from Super ☆ China Pro Wrestling. Could it be Choun-Shiryu under another gimmick? We’ll see.

New Matches for Cruiser’s Game, Ishii’s Show

February 18, 2011

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st Ring

1. El Samurai Vs Natsuki☆Taiyo
2. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Tanomusaku Toba
3. Battle Pink Ryota Vs Super Mask Man
4. Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku Vs The Great Sasuke & MIKAMI

Battle Pink Ryota and Super Mask Man come from the SWS promotion which is run by students from Teikyo University in Tokyo. For anyone interested in seeing the fed in action, their Youtube channel can be found here.

Natsuki☆Taiyo is a female wrestler who is currently with the new STARDOM joshi promotion. She is also a two time Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion.

Other wrestlers scheduled to compete on the show include the return of HARASHIMA’s old gimmick HERO!, Marines Mask II, Cosmo ☆ Soldier, Makoto Oishi, Madoka and Yuki Sato.

DDT “KESIUKE ISHII’S PRODUCE SHOW”, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Tomimitsu Matsunaga
2. Tanomusaku Toba & Hikaru Sato Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hiro Tsumaki
3. Kota Ibushi & KUDO Vs HARASHIMA & Yukihiro Abe
4. 1990s Foreigner Royal Rumble
5. Keisuke Ishii Vs Takao Omori

All of the matches were decided by Keisuke Ishii himself. There will also be a dark match featuring fighters from Style-E. The 1990s Foreigner Rumble sounds like a lot of fun if it turns out to be the DDT roster impersonating different wrestlers from that time period. Unless I got the translation wrong and Keisuke somehow found himself 90 different foreign wrestlers to take part in the match (simply having Kenny Omega, Hoshitango and Choun-Shiryu entering 30 times each doesn’t count).

The DDT Extreme Title match will be a TLC match. In this case TLC stands for Tonkachi (Cao Zhang’s giant hammer), Ladders & Chairs.

Gaylon Summers is a wrestler from Tennessee who was trained by Matt Morgan and made his debut in October 2007. He is also a sergeant for the United States Marine Corps and was stationed in the Yamaguchi Prefecture. His finisher is the Running Pump-Kick Big Boot but he also has the Choke Slam, Jackhammer and Sharpshooter in his arsenal.

Yusuke Inokuma has decided not to renew his contact with DDT. He was originaly given a month long extension after he missed the deadline for resigning his contract. However Yusuke has instead turned down the offer in order to spend more time in the restaurant business. Outside of wrestling, Yusuke is one of the head chefs for DDT’s restaurants. He commented on DDT’s website that it will take some convincing for him to wrestle again.

Ibushi In NJPW, TKG48 & Honda In FREEDOMS

February 15, 2011

Kota Ibushi isn’t done with New Japan Pro Wrestling yet. He competed on today’s NJPW event at Korakuen Hall, teaming with KUSHIDA to defeat Jado & Gedo.

NJPW “THE NEW BEGINNING”, 2/15/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,500 Fans

Kota Ibushi & KUSHIDA defeated Jado & Gedo when KUSHIDA pinned Gedo with the Midnight Express (12:24).

There will be some DDT talent appearing at New Japan’s upcoming NEVER event on 24th February. Shigehiro Irie and Kazuki Hirata will be there along with KO-D Tag Team Champion and freelancer, Daisuke Sasaki. Also there will be Union regular and SS Susan member Madoka.

NJPW “NEVER.5”, 2/24/11
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiromu Takahashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Tomoaki Honma Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. Ryusuke Taguchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. Taichi Vs Madoka

It’s only just today that I noticed that FREEDOMS often uses DDT talent for their shows. I shouldn’t be surprised by it as the promotion is run by Takashi Sasaki, who was a DDT wrestler from the company’s very first show until he got the deathmatch bug and joined Big Japan Wrestling somewhere between 2004 and 2005. I often forget when the company holds their shows so I’ll try to keep an eye on them from now on.

Sanshiro Takagi’s stable, the TKG48 entered the promotion in December and started a conflict with the Kojika Army. Last month a match between The Great Kojika & GENTARO against TKG48’s Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Shigehiro Irie had to be constantly restarted because the matches kept on ending in Double DQs. This led to TKG48’s main guns of Takagi & Munenori Sawa coming in to fight Kojika & GENTARO on yesterday’s FREEDOMS show. The stakes were high as a stipulation was added where the wrestler who dropped the fall on the losing team would be banned from ever wrestling in FREEDOMS again. Takagi got the win with a Sanshiro Stunner on the Great Kojika, forcing the veteran out of the company.

Antonio Honda is also a regular participant in FREEDOMS shows and was part of the winning team on yesterday’s show, siding with the devious Brahman Brothers to defeat Ricky Fuji, Keita Yano and a third wrestler who has a name that no one among the puro fansites have been able to figure out yet. I forgot to mention this during the annual contract signings but Antonio Honda let his DDT contract run out a couple of years ago to become a freelancer. As you can see, this didn’t affect his relationship with DDT one bit as he is still a regular name for the company.

Freedoms, 14/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
187 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Antonio Honda, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Ricky Fuji, Keita Yano & ??? when Honda pinned ??? with a School Boy (12:29).
3. Kojika Army Vs TKG48: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated Great Kojika & GENTARO when Takagi pinned Kojika with a Sanshiro Stunner (15:36).

More Shows Coming Up

February 12, 2011

The next couple of weeks is going to be very busy for DDT. Let’s have a look at what is in store for us, shall we?

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS FEBRUARY EDITION”, 16/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiro Tsumaki
2. Rion Mizuki Vs Hiro Tonai
3. Shigehiro Irie Vs Daichi Kazato
4. Akito Vs Kotaro Nasu
5. Keisuke Ishii & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Hiromu Takahashi & Shota

Hiromu Takahashi is one of the latest rookies produced by New Japan Pro Wrestling. Both Ryuichi Sekine and Hiro Tonai are from K-DOJO and Kotaro Nasu comes from Style-E.

DDT “FUNABASHI LEGEND AGAIN 2011”, 20/02/2011
Mitsui Garden Hotel Funabashi Lala Port

1. DJ Nira Vs Kikutaro
2. MIKAMI & KAORU Vs Minoru Fujita & Toshie Uematsu
3. Hikaru Sato, Tanomusaku Toba & Hoshitango Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
4. Dick Togo & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & KUDO
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Kota Ibushi & Keisuke Ishii
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano

GENTARO & Yasu Urano have been on a four match winning streak as a Tag Team since their last KO-D Tag Team Title shot against FROM THE NORTHERN COUNTRY. Meanwhile, Antonio Honda lost the KO-D Title Unification match while Daisuke Sasaki has been on the losing end of Tag matches against the GRANMA group. Does the team of GENTARO and Urano have enough momentum to unseat the champions and become the top duo in DDT?

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

1. Keisuke Ishii & Akito Vs MIKAMI & Rion Mizuki
2. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
3. Kota Ibushi Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. KUDO & Makoto Oishi Vs GENTARO & Yasu Urano
5. ??? Battle Royal: DJ Nira, Tanomusaku Toba, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Danshoku Dino and Kazuki Hirata included so far.
6. No DQ Hair Vs Hair Match: Hikaru Sato Vs Takao Soma
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Four months until Dick Togo calls time on his wrestling career. There are three KO-D Openweight Title defences planned between now and then with Togo retiring a month before the Sumo Hall show. Togo’s next defence is against HARASHIMA, who is gets his first chance at the title since losing it back in November.

No interference is allowed for the Hair Vs Hair match between Hikaru Sato and Takao Soma. We’ll see how Soma fares without having the rest of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation there to help him.

I may be wrong on the translation, but I think the winner of the Battle Royal will get to make his own match for this year’s Sumo Hall event. More entries will be announced eventually.

I have high hopes for Kota Ibushi Vs Shigehiro Irie, this could be a really fun match. Irie has been honing his skills while fighting for TKG48 in their feud with the Union Sekigun and a win against Ibushi would do wonders for his career.

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011” Results

February 11, 2011

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011”, 11/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
494 Fans

1. The Decisive Battle!: Liu Bei Ito (w/ Nippon Li) Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Princess Makoto) ended in a No Contest when a Barbarian invasion occured (7:01).
1a. Liu Bei Ito & Cao Zhang defeated Meng Hiroshi & Bone Hiroshi when Zhang pinned Bone Hiroshi with the Leg Capture Power Bomb (5:15).
2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!: Ranjei Lee & Jet Bar defeated Dragon Achoooo! & Zhou Yu when Ranjei Lee pinned Zhou Yu with the Shining Wizard (11:35).
3. Opium War!?: Golden Horn & Silver Horn defeated Queen Elizabeth & Statue Of David when Silver Horn pinned Queen Elizabeth with the Buzzsaw Kick (8:15).
4. National Scramble For The Imperial Seal!: King Andui Qin defeated Great Slave No. 643, Megumi Shin Akira Ra Nuruhachi, Emperor Qin and Zen Liu (12:08).
5. Rushi’s Last Play: Choun-Shiryu, Rushi Togo & Young Master Togo defeated Hazime Hutoshi, Somato & Giant Boshoku when Choun-Shiryu pinned Giant Boshoku with the Chinese Gory Special (15:21).

It truly was Rushi Togo’s Last Play. Before the match, Young Master Togo (Kenny Omega) approached Choun-Shiryu showing concern for his master. Rushi Togo (Dick Togo) was clearly looking the worst for wear, coughing up blood and weezing heavily. Somato (HARASHIMA) on the other hand had no such problems with his health. In fact, he performed a sword swallowing trick before the match began, using Hazime Hutoshi’s (GENTARO) sword. Despite fears over the old man’s health, Rushi looked fine in the ring until his body gave out on him after leaping off the turnbuckles. His team were at a disadvantage from there on out but they heroicly fought back. However, it was clear Togo’s body could not handle the stress. Togo used all of his remaining strength to do a Double Hadouken with his protege to Giant Boshoku (Shuji Ishikawa), knocking the big man off his feet and allowing Choun-Shiryu to finish him off with the Chinese Gory Special. The victory was bittersweet, Roshi Togo sacrificed himself so his side would win the battle.

The Statue Of David (Seiya Morohashi) spent most of Match #3 standing in the centre of the ring while Golden Horn (Brahman Shu) & Silver Horn (Brahman Kei) destroyed Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth wore lingerie and was stoned out of her mind on opium. Never thought I would write that sentence (actually, that would be a lie). Anyway, David wouldn’t budge after crotch flicks, fingers jammed up his backside and even having worms smudged into his face. A face full of wasabi sauce almost did the job but some ice cold water to the crotch finally got the statue moving. Unfortunately for the Horns, it made David Hulk up and take control of the match. When a powder attack backfired, David assumed his position and left Elizabeth at the Horns’ mercy. There wasn’t much of it as they repeatedly threw powder in her face, spat the Mist at her and knocked her out with a Buzzsaw Kick.

The Decisive Battle looked to be in Liu Bei Ito’s (Ryubi Ito) favour when suddenly one of the New Beijing warriors ran to the ring with an arrow sticking out of his back. He was crying for help before losing conciousness. His warning came too late, an invasion occured when two barbarians named Meng Hiroshi & Bone Hiroshi entered the arena and attacked both Ito & Cao Zhang (Akito). They then kidnapped Nippon Li (Nikkan Lee) & Princess Makoto (Er…Makoto). The match was quickly turned into a tag team bout with the warriors of the Wei & Shu factions suddenly becoming allies. Ito used his folding chair while Zhang using his Golden Tonkachi Hammer to defeat the invading duo and rescue their women from the Barbarians’ clutches. The two proud warriors looked as if they would shake each other’s hands after the match but instead, they both slapped each other across the face. After all, they are still from rival factions and the battle between them did not have a winner.

Kenny Omega stripped down to a Danshoku Dino style rainbow thong during his match with Michael Nakazawa. This was to combat Nakazawa’s habit of stripping down to a thong during his comebacks.

Two of the main events for the upcoming 6th March tripleshot were announced. Cruiser’s Game will have MIKAMI & The Great Sasuke teaming up to face Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku. As a reward for winning the Battle Royal at the end of January, Keisuke Ishii will host his own show. He will be against Takao Omori in the main event of that card.

A match that will have repercussions on this year’s Sumo Hall event will take place at the next Korakuen Hall show. Danshoku Dino, Tanomusaku Toba, DJ Nira and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi are among those involved but what kind of match it will be was not revealed.
