Last Man Standing, Nazo Fukumen, Masayuki Car Accident, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling 2nd Preview

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

The friendship between Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa has turned sour over the KO-D Championship. Omega offered Nakazawa the title shot in the hopes to show the world that his buddy can be a serious wrestler. Nakazawa accepted but kept to his sleazy ways, low blowing Kenny and embarrassing him at Korakuen Hall. Then yesterday at Shin-Kiba 1st RING, Nakazawa went through a gauntlet of 7 wrestlers to prepare himself. He lost to every single one of them. Then Kenny low blowed him partly for payback but also to try and convince Nakazawa to take their title match seriously. He’ll have to because this one match show on Thursday will be fought under Last Man Standing rules. DDT will be using the rule where you have to pin your opponent for the three count before the referee can begin counting to ten.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B

Two mysteriously masked people have invaded Union. The anonymous man and woman are both being referred to as Nazo Fukumen. They kidnapped Jun Kasai and held him hostage at the end of “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”. Their demand was to get booked in Union. Naomi Susan apparently recognises who they are and gave in to their demands without any resistance. The Nazo Fukumen are going to face Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda in a tag team match.

Kengo Ohka, Madoka, Kaori Yoneyama & Gabaiji-chan will also appear on the show. Yoneyama is currently busy designing the brand new championship to be introduced into Union soon. Mitomi Masayuki was supposed to make his Union debut but that has been put off after he fractured his left ankle in a car accident. He will be out of action for at least the entire month of March.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2013”, 20/03/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal:
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie won the tournament yesterday to earn this title shot. While a possible rematch with Kenny Omega looks likely, the wrestling world can take a strange twist and have Michael Nakazawa win the KO-D Title and defend it against Irie instead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE SECOND MEETING”, 25/03/2013
Shibuya Deseo

Miyu Yamashita, KANNA & Chikage Kiba return for their second Tokyo Women’s Wrestling preview event.

HARD HIT “YOUTH” Results

February 24, 2013

sato-sakuragi

HARD HIT “YOUTH”, 24/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
439 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yasu Kubota (1D/0E0/P) defeated FUMA (0D/1E/0P) with a Cross Kneebar (1:43).
2. Hidetaka Monma (1D/0E/0P) defeated Kotaro Nasu (0D/2E/0P) with a Triangle Choke (4:44).
3. ISAO (0D/1E/0P) defeated Kyosuke Sasaki (1D/1E/0P) on points (10:00).
4. Kamen Shooter Super Rider (0D/1E/0P) defeated NOSAWA Rongai (2D/0E/0P) with an Octopus Hold (2:16).
5. Asaki Honda Retirement Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (0D/1E/0P) Vs Asaki Honda (0D/1E/0P) ended in a draw on points (10:00).
5a. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Asaki Honda by Knockout with a Flying Knee (1:02).
6. Masayuki Kono (0D/0E/0P) defeated Hayato Mashita (0D/2E/0P) with a Cross Armlock (2:55).
7. Hikaru Sato (0D/0E/0P) defeated Yuji Sakuragi (0D/0E/0P) by Disqualification after an illegal closed strike to the face (0:38).

Hiromitsu Kanehara appeared to announce his retirement match at “U-SPIRITS Again” in Korakuen Hall on 9th March. The UWF Theme played during his entrance. He came to the show today and saw how UWF had evolved and wished both Hikaru Sato and Yuji Sakuragi to do their best in the main event.

Unfortunately the main event suffered a premature end before it ever got the chance to get going. When Sato dove in to grab Sakuragi’s leg, he took a punch to the face that fractured his nose. Even though the punch was unintentional, the referee called a foul on Sakuragi for the use of a closed fist and disqualified him. Sakuragi apologised to both Sato and the fans in attendance for the disappointing end to the match. Sato thanked the fighters who debuted as well as those who ended their Hard Hit careers today. He also apologised to the fans.

Masayuki Kono’s first trip to Hard Hit was quick and easy. The All Japan wrestler was dominant over Hayato Mashita and got the submission win in just under three minutes.

Yukio Sakaguchi was the final opponent for Asaki Honda since he was retiring on this show. When the fight ended in a draw, Honda told Sato that it was not a convincing result for someone who is about to retire. The fight was restarted per Honda’s request, this time with no time limit so a definitive winner would be decided. It only took a minute for Sakaguchi to knockout Honda with a Flying Knee. During the retirement ceremony, Honda gave Sakaguchi his T-shirt while Sakaguchi gave Honda his dojo towel.

Kamen Shooter Super Rider told NOSAWA Rongai they have been around since the beginning of DDT (Rider is Koichiro Kimura, aka Super Uchu Rider who was part of the DDT roster up until 2006). Rider would like to face NOSAWA again in a more orthodox wrestling match over in Real Japan Pro Wrestling.

DDT “DRAMATIC 2013 FEBRUARY SPECIAL” Results

February 24, 2013

DDT “DRAMATIC 2013 FEBRUARY SPECIAL”, 24/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
359 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuji Hino, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Akito & Tetsuya Endo when Sasaki pinned Endo with an Inside Cradle (11:35).

6. Teach Me What I Am Missing: Tomoaki Honma defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Kokeshi (12:53).
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fan’s Choice: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi
7a. Bodybuilding Match: Kenny Omega defeated Seiya Morohashi by Audience Decision.
7b. One Count Match: Seiya Morohashi defeated Kenny Omega with a Cradle Cutback (5:41).
7c. ABC Match: Kenny Omega defeated Seiya Morohashi with the Croyt’s Wrath (10:45).
*V1 for Kenny Omega.
8. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Final: Shigehiro Irie defeated Makoto Oishi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (13:19).

As the winner of the MAGP Award tournament, Shigehiro Irie was given the grand prize of a KO-D Openweight Title shot on 20/3 and also 2000 yen. Irie correctly identified the cash prize in English this time. But he already knew how to say “two thousand,” so it’s hard to tell if his English is improving.

The DDT Extreme Title match was fought as a Best 2-out-of-3 match with each fall having a different stipulation chosen by a fan vote leading up to the show. The first round was a bodybuilding contest which Kenny won by audience vote. The second round was a match was a One Count match where you only have to pin your opponent for one second. Morohashi won by countering a Cradle from Omega. The final fall was an ABC Match where you can only win with a move beginning with the letter A, B or C. Omega won with the Croyt’s Wrath.

Michael Nakazawa approached Kenny after the match offering an apology for the sneak attack on him last week. This is despite the fact that Nakazawa did the same thing to Hikaru Sato after the NAKAZAWA 7 match earlier in the show. Kenny responded by kicking Nakazawa between the legs and yelled “Show me your guts! Show me your spirit!”

After defeating Keisuke Ishii, Tomoaki Honma said he will tell Ishii what he was missing. But disaster struck when and invisible blow dart shot into his neck and made him faint. Ishii had enough with the constant teasing and challenged Sanshiro Takagi to a match at Yokohama on 10th March.

Michael Nakazawa created the NAKAZAWA 7 match to help prepare for his upcoming KO-D Title shot in four days time. It was pretty much a 6-on-1 Handicap match where a wrestler exits the match after beating Nakazawa. It ended with Hikaru Sato placing Nakazawa in an Ankle Hold but Nakazawa refused to submit. He tried to withstand the pain for as long as he could but Tetsuya Endo threw in a t-shirt to forfeit the match for Nakazawa’s safety. Sato told Nakazawa he was rooting for him against Kenny Omega and Nakazawa’s response, as mentioned above, was to kick Sato in the groin. Nakazawa then yelled he will always be standing and will continue to stand. If I understood him correctly, Nakazawa could be facing Omega in a Last Man Standing match for the KO-D Title.

The Monster Army declared the ring as their battlefield after winning the opening match.

HARASHIMA appeared and apologised to the fans for pulling out of the show due to a mandible fracture.

Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi compared their rivalry to the likes of Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody or Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta.

The second Tokyo Women’s Wrestling preview event will take place on 25th March.

Ken Ohka held a press conference inside the building to announce his brand new promotion Ganbare☆Wrestling. Out of the 15,000 yen Ohka stole from Tsurumi Amon found, he still has 10,005 yen to spend. He is planning to hold Ganbare’s first event in Nankai on 6th March.

KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa is a match so important it has to get it’s own show! Even though Omega nominated Nakazawa to be his next challenger out of friendship, Michael wants to prove he is good enough to be champion. With the KO-D Title on stake, this match won’t be fun and games for either man.

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.

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013” Results

February 13, 2013

kodaka-kengo

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
251 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang when Fukuda pinned Zhang after hitting him with a medal (8:35).
2. Seiya Morohashi defeated Goro Jr. (w/ El Hijo del Goro) with the Crippler Crossface (8:38).
3. Winner Names & Designs New Championship: Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry & Mio Shirai when Yoneyama pinned Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (10:09).
4. Loser Withdraws From Union: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ken Ohka (w/ Mio Shirai) with the Kneel Kick (9:45).
*Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai are kind of forced to withdraw from Union.
5. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma and Daichi Kazato & SAGAT (11:09).
5a. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Wild Cat pinned Kazato (6:57).
5b. Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA eliminated Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma when Ishikawa pinned Soma with the Giant Clutch (8:33).
5c. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA when Wild Cat pinned FUMA (11:09).
6. Kengo Ohka defeated Isami Kodaka with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:53).

Kengo Ohka thanked Isami Kodaka for their match in the main event and told him he will remember it fondly. This may be Kengo’s last match in Union for a while and he might go back to wrestling as Kengo Mashimo the next time he wrestles here.

Seiya Morohashi has been nominated to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. Negotiations have begun to make Morohashi Vs Kenny Omega for the title happen sometime in the near future.

Ken Ohka and Keisuke Ishii fought each other with a lot on the line. If Ohka won, Ishii and the rest of Drift would be forced to leave Union. But if Ishii won, Ohka and Mio Shirai would have to do the same. Shirai did not want to have to rely on Ohka for her future in Union but eventually cheered for her “pet” to win. Ohka took down Ishii with the Spear Of Fire but Ishii recovered and was just too much for Ohka to handle. The Kneel Kick ended the match but Ishii decided to throw out the stipulation. Drift’s war with Union was exhausting him and he felt there was nothing to gain if all he did was beat up Ohka over and over. So Drift announced they are withdrawing from Union after today.

Naomi Susan was relieved the stipulation was gone and that Ohka and Mio could stay. However, Ohka now believed Union was too small for a “Messiah” like him and there are plenty of big name promotions he could now work for. Mio slapped some sense into Ohka and he eventually admitted he wants to stay in Union. But his mind was made up. He and Shirai would keep his word and leave Union.

However, Ohka and Shirai would make their presence felt again at the end of the show. Two masked figures interrupted the post show speeches by kidnapping Jun Kasai and holding him hostage under the threat of stabbings with a ball-point pen. The masked man and women demanded to be booked for a match at Union’s next show in Yokohama on 10th March. Naomi Susan easily recognised who the duo was and happily accepted their demand. She actually felt relieved that Ohka and Shirai quickly found a way to get back into Union.

Kaori Yoneyama won the right to name and design Union’s new championship. She hopes to have it finished in time for Union’s next show and promises to become the first champion.

SAGAT is now signed as a full time Union wrestler. He has been a part timer for the brand for almost a year. SAGAT is from Iruma, Saitama and was born on 26th July, 1990. He is 168cm high and weighs 100kg. His signature moves are the Gore Grind, the Belly To Belly Suplex and the Sole Butt.

Union’s other new rookie Mitomi Masayuki will have his first match for the brand in Yokohama on 10/3.

The lovely Princess Makoto did not accompany Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang for their match against Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai. Rumour has it she (literally) jumped ship from New Beijing Pro Wrestling to another Chinese promotion called Wrestling New Dynasty.

Ultimate Superstars Action – USA! USA! USA!

February 5, 2013

ultimatesuperstarsaction

USA “STARGATE 2013”, 28/03/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

From the mind of Hiroshi Fukdua comes DDT’s latest spin off, Ultimate Superstars Action. Fukuda has launched his own American wrestling federation and will debut it at the end of March. The idea with the date is to steal the thunder from some other major wrestling show that takes place in April. Fukuda is pulling off all the stops to make this a success. According to Fukuda, USA has been in talks with Bruce Willis to appear on the show. He also somehow got in contact with Mr. Perfect on Facebook. In fact, earlier today Perfect visited Fukuda’s parents for a meal and told him he needs to sign a wrestler from the Middle East. Fukuda will keep everyone up to date as we get closer to USA’s first show.

Loser Leaves Union, Who Will Design New Championship, America Vs China

February 1, 2013

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Seiya Morohashi Vs Goro Jr.
3. Cherry & Mio Shirai Vs Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama
4. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA Vs Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat Vs Daichi Kazato & SAGAT
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka
6. Ken Ohka Vs Keisuke Ishii

The one thing Keisuke Ishii has learned ever since he began wrestling in Union is that Ken Ohka is weak. He has fought against strong wrestlers but this is the first match Ishii knows he is by far the stronger wrestler. Ohka criticised Ishii for taking the match lightly and explained Ishii’s DDT Extreme Title reign was so short because he was not prepared enough. Ohka threw out a stipulation to show how serious he is. If Ishii wins, Ohka will resign from Union. But if Ohka wins, Team Dream Futures will withdraw from Union and leave them alone. Ishii accepted the conditions and guaranteed his victory. Mio Shirai suprisingly gave Ohka words of encouragement and told him never to give up.

Isami Kodaka is said to be enthusiastic he is facing Kengo Ohka one on one. They have wrestled each other before in a place where Ohka is better known as Kengo Mashimo and Kodaka wants to show how much he has improved since then.

Cherry once again had another major announcement to make. Except this time, it actually was pretty important. Cherry demanded that Union should create a championship for women and as the female face of Union she should be allowed to name and design the belt. Mio Shirai stepped in and said she should name and design the belt, since she finished ahead of Cherry in the DDT48 General Election and thus became Union’s top female wrestler. All the talk about championships attracted the attention of Kaori Yoneyama and if anyone knows about championships, it’s her. Naomi Susan settled the argument by booking a tag team match between Cherry & Shirai against Yoneyama & Masako Takanashi. Whoever wins the match will be given the rights to name and design the new championship.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai have sent out a challenge to New Beijing Pro Wrestling’s top tag team. Fukuda and Kasai have bonded over their love of all things American, even toilets. They agreed that even though traditional Japanese toilets are bad, China has even worse toilets because they don’t even have doors in their bathrooms. So Choun-Shiryu and Cao Zhang will travel over to Japan to defend the honour of their country… and their toilets.

Sweet Dreams, Send In The Tanks! Sato’s Long Awaited Rematch

January 25, 2013

kodaka-omega

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo & Daichi Kazato
2. Planning The New Year – 1 Vs 5 Handicap Match: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Michael Nakazawa, Hoshitango, Gota Ihashi, Batten Tamagawa & DJ Nira
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Hiro Tsumaki Vs MIKAMI, Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko
5. Kota Ibushi Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka (c)

Both Kenny Omega and Isami Kodaka had plenty of praise to give each other when they met to promote their KO-D Openweight & DDT Extreme Double Title match. Omega has a lot of respect for Kodaka due to his spirit and technique. As the DDT Extreme Champion, Kodaka was allowed to choose the stipulation for the match. He was tempted to make it a hardcore match so both men could do whatever they wanted in the ring. He decided to leave it as a normal match so if he beats Omega, it will prove without a doubt that he deservedly won the KO-D Championship. Kenny compared the match up to something like Street Fighter X Tekken or Capcom Vs SNK. He is 99% sure he can beat Kodaka but there is a chance a lucky punch will beat him. Kodaka said he has that punch but he acquired it from dedicated training instead of relying on luck.

The Monster Army have threatened to sell the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles if they win them and use the money to buy tanks! Antonio Honda explained that after he and his teammates win the belts, he will go wrestle in Vietnam and become famous. That will somehow increase the value of the belts to the point where they can afford tanks. Honda also warned Keisuke Ishii that at 27 years old, Ishii is at the stage of life when a person has the worst luck. Many many musicians have died at the age of 27 and Ishii could join them. Ishii pointed out that Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Hino are also 27 years old. Ishii’s 28th birthday will be around a week after the show and he promises he will still have the title when he celebrates it.

HARD HIT “YOUTH”, 24/02/2013

2. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Asaki Honda

Hikaru Sato announced five fights for the upcoming Hard Hit show. He is currently negotiating with different MMA fighters in order to sign two more fights for the card. Sato will fight Yuji Sakuragi in a rematch from their Pancrase bout from 26th January, 2006. Sakuragi won that fight in only 55 seconds of the first round. Sato is a far more experienced fighter now.
