UNION “AMANIMOMAKEZU UNION 2015” Results

June 17, 2015

empty-can-deathmatch

UNION “AMANIMOMAKEZU UNION 2015”, 17/06/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
264 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Western Type Gentleman And Lady First Tag Death Match: Daichi & Cherry defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & Aoi Ishibashi when Cherry pinned Fukuda with the Spring Night Love (7:30).
2. Road To The Best Of Independent Junior – 4 Way Match: Madoka defeated Isami Kodaka, Ryota Nakatsu and Daichi Kazato when Madoka pinned Kazato with the Ranhyei (10:41).
3. MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT defeated Ladybeard, Mitomi Masayuki & Seiya Morohashi when Teioh pinned Masayuki with a Rope Assisted Pin (11:48).
4. UWA World Tag Team Titles – Empty Can Death Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata (c) when Shu pinned Shibata with the Gotai Fumanzoku (Talks About The Universe) (15:50).
*Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata fail in V1. The Brahman Brothers become the 21st UWA World Tag Team Champions!
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Mio Shirai defeated Hibiscus Mii (c) with the Tsuchigumo (7:48).
*Hibiscus Mii fails in V1. Mio Shirai becomes the 7th Union Fly To Everywhere World Champion!
6. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) defeated Yusuke Kubo with the Diving Headbutt (23:18).
*V3 for FUMA.

The former Goro Jr. became an unlikely hero for Union by attempting to win the Union MAX Title from FUMA. Kubo entered to a remixed version of his mentor Dick Togo’s song (I assume it’s “Insane in the Membrane”). He came close to winning with the Goro Suplex and Blowback but FUMA fired back with a combination consisting of the Sole Butt, Argentine Piledriver, Tombstone and finally the Diving Headbutt. That was nough to put Kubo away. After the match FUMA said that the King Legion will show their full power next month and challenged anyone to try and stop them.

With retirement looming on the horizon Mio Shirai made it her goal to win a championship one more time in all four companies she is under contract to. She already holds the tag team titles for both Ice Ribbon and Pro Wrestling WAVE. She also recently won the main championship in OZ Academy but was forced to vacate it after losing a stipulation match but that’s another story for another blog. All that remained was winning back the Union Fly To Everywhere Title. She had to go through Hibiscus Mii to do that and it wasn’t an easy task. The match featured plenty of Headbutts but Shirai prevailed and is now a Triple Crown champion. Shirai apologised for having a swollen red head because of all the Headbutts she gave and took.

In what was probably the weirdest recycling campaign ever, the UWA World Tag Team Titles were put on the line in an Empty Can Death Match. There were no countouts or rope breaks and every five minutes the fans in attendence were encouraged to throw their empty beer cans into the ring. The wrestlers were then allowed to use the cans as weapons. The Brahman Brothers still used their usual array of weapons like the suitcase, bowling ball and pig head. The dreaded black ink also came into play and blinded Masato Shibata long enough to be pinned, resulting in the title switch.

Madoka was nominated by Isami Kodaka to be the next No. 1 Contender for his Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. The title match will be in Yokohama on 18th July.

The male wrestlers in Match #1 were penalised whenever they did not act like gentlemen towards the women. Daichi immediately lost 3 points at the start of the match when he entered the ring without Cherry. Hiroshi Fukuda smartly escorted Aoi Ishibashi to her corner to avoid the same penalty. Daichi lost another point for locking up with Ishibashi and messing her hair in the process. Meanwhile Fukuda punched Cherry but that was okay because it was ruled as an act performed on an opponent in a competitive wrestling match. Fukuda then used Ishibashi as a human shield for a top rope attack from Daichi. That wasn’t ok and he was penalised 100,000 points before getting pinned by Cherry.

Ryu Gouma participated in a special public training exercise at the beginning of the show. Kazuhiko Ogasawara came out with a baseball bat and challenged Gouma to break it in half. He struck Gouma in the shin everytime Gouma failed. Gouma gave up and Ogasawara dragged him to the back stating he will train him even harder.

June 10, 2015

UNION “AMANIMOMAKEZU UNION 2015”, 17/06/2015

5. UWA World Tag Team Titles – Empty Can Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata (c) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
6. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) Vs Yusuke Kubo

Drinking is permitted at certain times in the Empty Can Death Match. When a wrestler finishes the drink he can use the empty can as a legal weapon. Fans are also encouraged to throw their empty cans into the ring when they are told to.

Yusuke Kubo is grateful for the opportunity to wrestle for the Union MAX Title. Not just for himself but for FUMA and the rest of the new generation in Union.

At the age of 28, Hiroshi Fukuda is beginning to consider retirement and what his lasting impact will be on the industry. He wants future generations of Japanese wrestlers to behave more like the gentlemen from Europe and the United States. To prove his point he put together a mixed tag team match to show how gentlemen should treat ladies.

The main event is back on! KUDO reclaimed his Right To Challenge contract from Daisuke Sasaki and still intends to cash it in at Korakuen Hall at the end of the month.

Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis are a Californian tag team known as The Arrogant Bastards. They approached Sanshiro Takagi requesting to participate in the audition for new T2Hide members. Takagi’s advice to them on Twitter is if they can dance better than Kazuki Hirata, they will pass the audition.

Aja Kong is back. She is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion last time I checked.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “HOWEVER 2015”, 07/06/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Power Of Dreams Vs Enjo-gun: Yumehito Imanari & Chikara Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki
2. Oretachi Nario No – Road To KO-D!?: Ken Ohka Vs Yukihiro Abe

Ken Ohka is now a marked man because of the Right To Challenge contract he currently possesses. Yukihiro Abe has challenged him to a match for the contract. Abe sees this as an opportunity to return to DDT, win the KO-D Title and face all of the new wrestlers that have appeared since he left. Ohka is determined not to lose. However there is danger lurking in the background. Mitomi Masayuki from Enjo-gun also wants a match with Ohka and is not happy to be ignored.

UNION “AMANIMOMAKEZU UNION 2015”, 17/06/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Hibiscus Mii (c) Vs Mio Shirai
2. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata (c) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
3. Union MAX Title: FUMA (c) Vs Yusuke Kubo

The Brahman Brothers are coming to challenge Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata for the UWA Tag Team Titles. The Brahmans think the champions are freaks. In their minds Ishikawa acts like he’s Jesus and Shibata looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. The Brahmans are preparing for the match by eating a lot of hamburgers and coming up with tactics to attack Shibata’s feet because that is his weak point.

DDT “YAROZ VOL. 2” Results

March 3, 2015

guyz-ueki-miyatake

DDT “YAROZ VOL. 2”, 03/03/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
172 Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Gota Ihashi with the Combine (7:00).
2. Ganbare☆Wrestling Offer Match: Ken Ohka defeated Tiger Bedscene with the Spear Of Flame (8:46).
3. Bra & Panty From Bubble Match: Suguru Miyatake Vs Takayuki Ueki ended in a No Contest (10:32).
4. Shuji Ishikawa & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Antonio Honda & Ryota Nakatsu when Ishikawa pinned Nakatsu with the Running Knee Lift (14:10).
5. YaroZ Army Vs Ikemen Army – Audience Lumberjack & Fans Bring The Weapons Death Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie defeated Jiro Kuroshio, Madoka & Hiroshi Fukuda when Irie pinned Fukuda with the YaroZ Bomber (14:43).

B-boys Brother Mon & Brother Tommy returned with their YaroZ event in Shin-kiba to go against the BOYZ show happening at the same time in Shinjuku. While BOYZ is exclusively for women, the audience at the YaroZ show was exclusively men. The YaroZ Vs BOYZ dynamic was further pushed with a Bastards Vs Pretty Boys main event. The attendance number for the show proves the plan didn’t work. BOYZ outdrew them by over triple.

Sanshiro Takagi and Hiroshi Fukuda traded insults at the start of the show. Takagi got so angry he wanted the main event 6-Man Tag to be an Audience Lumberjack match and any item the fans gave them could be used as weapons. The fans got a chance to be even more involved when Takagi invited them to be involved in the Train Attack on Fukuda. Even the Samurai! TV cameraman got involved! Shigehiro Irie finished the job with the Beast Bomber and the crowd yelled “Go Home!” at the defeated pretty boy team.

The Bed-In Girls Mai Chusonji and Kaori Masukoji were involved with the Suguru Miyatake Vs Takayuki Ueki match. The women took sides and acted as managers while the wrestlers were not allowed to touch them. The women slowly took off their clothes during the match until they were down to their bra and panties. Hirata and Ueki spent more time fighting their urges than fighting each other as the women did their striptease. The temptation eventually proved too much and on seperate occassions both wrestlers tried to grope the girls. The lights dimmed and the girls stripped Miyatake of his wrestling tights, leaving him with a fan to cover his modesty. Ueki then pulled out a handgun and threatened to arrest Miyatake for his obscene display. The match was declared a no contest.

Gota Ihashi channelled the spirit of UWF for his match against Ryuichi Sekine. Fat lot of use that was for him. Sekine outstruck him and made him tap to the Combine.

Wrestlers from around the scene gathered together to celebrate the late Koichiro Kimura who passed away in October. The main event saw Sanshiro Takagi, NOSOWA Rongai & MIKAMI taking on Takashi Sasaki, GENTARO & Tomohiko Hashimoto. Takagi got the pinfall and took the microphone afterwards. He thanked everyone for putting the show together and said Kimura is now watching his friends from heaven. Kazunori Yoshida of Eagle Wrestling announced another tribute show to be held in Tatebayashi Citizen Gymnasium on March 13th next year. MIKAMI gathered everyone in the ring for a commemorative group photo with Kimura’s portrait to close out the show.

The semi-main event was centred around UWF as all four fighters entered to the UWF theme song.

The Battle Royal was originally scheduled to feature 10 wrestlers but it turned out there was a few extra entries in store. One of them was Poison Sawada JULIE coming out of retirement for one night only. Sawada used his Snake Magic to eliminate a couple of wrestlers but his powers wouldn’t work on Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Kintaro Kanemura went on a hot streak when he eliminated Gorgeous Matsuno with the Blast Yama Special and then won by pinning Rikiya Fudo with a Small Package.

Former DDT referee Megumi Grace Asano was the special official for some of the matches.

*X is Shiori Asahi.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Soma Takao

This is it for Soma Takao. Can he prove he is on the main event level or was he just lucky to get the title shot?

Despite being out of action to recover from a fracture right heel, Sanshiro Takagi is being forced to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles along with Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Probably not the best timing to do this given the big story in wrestling this week. But it will most likely be a comedy match so he should be ok.

KUDO will debut a new theme song on this show. Farewell Shaolin Soccer soundtrack!

November 11, 2014

ibushi-shoot-boxing

Kota Ibushi will compete in a shoot boxing exhibition match on 30th November. The event is QueSeraJapon Presents SHOOT BOXING S-cup in Sumo Hall. The plan came together when DDT president Sanshiro Takagi and Shoot Boxing Association chairman Takeshi Caeser met during a magazine interview. Caeser asked Takagi if there were any pro wrestlers who would be a good fit for shoot boxing. Takagi immediately thought of Ibushi due to his karate background. Ibushi thinks it is a fun idea. He gets to introduce shoot boxing to pro wrestling fans and pro wrestling to shoot boxing fans. His opponent is to be determined but Takeshi did consider trying to bring in Kazushi Sakuraba. The event takes place the same day DDT is in Korakuen Hall but Ibushi said he will be on both shows.

Today’s Union show featured the final appearance of Hiroshi Fukuda before he transfers over to All Japan. Unfortunately Fukuda suffered a dislocated shoulder blade during the week and was unable to wrestle. He told the fans that the injury is healing slowly and he will not rush back to the ring before he is ready.

Fukuda hosted the main event Royal Rumble that was created to crown the new Mr. Perfect. The match saw the return of a Nazo Fukumen, the mysterious masked man gimmick Fukuda was involved with last year when he was banished from Union. This one was unmasked by SAGAT and revealed to be Jun Kasai! The rest of the field was filled with Union wrestlers and unexpected participants such as A.YAZAWA, Mame Endo and musician Hosomino Shyboy. MEN’S Teioh was the last man standing, lastly pinning SAGAT with the Perfect Plex. Fukuda presented Teioh with a crown, cloak and tambourine to officially recognise him as the 2nd generation Mr. Perfect!

Daichi Kazato refused to shake hands with Isami Kodaka after the semi-main event. Shibata recorded the match with his GoPro and said he will send it to Hikaru Sato so they can prepare for the UWA World Tag Team Title match on 3rd November.

The inter-gender trios match became more heated when Ryu Gouma blamed Union’s joshi division for impacting the company’s profits. Cherry argued that couldn’t be true. She also said she was the only person in the match who finished in the Dramatic General Election Top 20. Gouma said he was using this match to assess each woman’s worth and would restructure Union’s finances based on that information. He even suggested getting rid of the women’s division entirely. Mio Shirai wondered if Gouma was paranoid because he isn’t in a relationship. Gouma snapped and attacked Shirai to start the match. Shuji Ishikawa almost destroyed Cherry when he attempted to give her the Splash Mountain outside the ring but Shirai came to the rescue. Cherry later hit the Cherryton Bomb and Spring Night Love for a nearfall but Ishikawa hit back with the Fire Thunder Driver. He then hit the Splash Mountain inside the ring for the victory.
