Team

Let’s have a look at the DDT and Union involvement here so far. Takao Soma and Akito will be among the pretty boys taking part in the opener. Hiroshi Fukuda then takes part in the young lion Six Man Tag. Danshoku Dino will produce some sort of competition that will no doubt disturb everyone in attendance. HARASHIMA follows that with a Six Man Tag Team Challenge bout. Poor Ken Ohka drew the short straw for his match, as he is involved in a Lighttube death match with some of Big Japan’s most violent wrestlers. Shuji Ishikawa teams up with Daisuke Sekimoto to form a brick wall of a tag team. Finally, the gauntlet will contain Daisuke Sasaki, Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda, Masa Takanashi and Chou-un Shiryu, with possibly one or two more winning the last vacant spot reserved for a fan vote that will take place on an upcoming episode of Occupation Of The Indies.

This time around Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie go into the match as champions. Meanwhile Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have gelled well together as part of their Homoiro Clover Z group.

Kengo Ohka (aka Kengo Mashimo) was already confirmed to be one of Kodaka’s opponents and now the current KO-D Openweight Champion KUDO has been revealed to take part aswell. Isami said that the trial is the perfect challenge for him before his rematch with El Generico as he will take on the strongest wrestlers from both DDT and Union. KUDO senses that the entire Union brand is still frustrated over him beating Shuji Ishikawa to win the KO-D Title in Sumo Hall back in July.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs RG
2. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Hiroshi Fukuda announced that he will face TV personality and former HUSTLE wrestler RG at Union’s 3rd January Korakuen Hall event. Rumi Kazama used her connections to find a famous name for the young lion to fight so Fukuda would himself become famous for beating up a celebrity. Rumi ended up choosing RG because he has over 42,000 followers on Twitter. Fukuda said he believes the number of Twitter followers a person has is like the Power Levels in Dragon Ball Z, so by his logic RG must be very powerful. Fukuda meanwhile, only has 548 followers. It does not sound good for the rookie but there is hope for him yet. Fukuda has challenged RG to put his amount of followers on the line in a winner takes all battle! No word yet on whether or not RG has accepted the stipulation.

KENSO and Io Shirai will also take part in the show (and may God have mercy on all of us who watch KENSO’s match).

UNION “THE UNION SHIWASU 2011”, 14/12/2011
Shinjuku FACE

1. SGP Global Jr. Heavyweight Title – 3 Way: Cosmic Warrior Sofia (Cherry) (c) Vs Ultraman Robin Vs Mother Justine (GAMI)
2. Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka Vs Ivan Markov & Bonnie
3. Isami Kodaka 3 Match Trial: Isami Kodaka Vs Kengo Ohka, X & X
4. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya

Shuji Ishikawa has chosen Shigehiro Irie as his partner to face the Kensuke Office team of Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya in the main event. Also, Shuji and Sanshiro Takagi have also put aside their differences after the Union Sekigun Vs TKG48 feud.

Isami Kodaka will go through a three match trial in preparation for his DDT Extreme Title rematch against El Generico that will take place in January. Kengo Ohka is the first opponent confirmed to face the Death Match Samurai. Kodaka’s good friend and fellow Big Japan tag team partner Yuko Miyamoto was originally supposed to be the second opponent but he had to pull out of the show due to a scheduling conflict. That now means both the second and third opponents will be mystery wrestlers.

Mio Shirai revealed she will have a photo spread in the new issue of “Young Union”, the event programme that will be available at the show. Ken Ohka confronted her, arguing that he should be on the cover. He also did not want to see any photos of Mio wearing swimsuits and doing suggestive poses appearing in the magazine. Mio shut Ken up by putting him in the dreaded Figure Four Necklock and choking him out.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2011”, 31/12/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Winners of 11/12 Title Match Vs Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino
2. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs MIKAMI

New Year’s Eve at Korakuen Hall is going to be a long day. First off, DDT holds its final show of the year with two major title matches on the top of the card. KUDO has been a fighting champion since winning the KO-D Openweight Title, defeating two former KO-D Champions in the process. If he beats MIKAMI on New Year’s Eve, KUDO will not only beat a third KO-D Champion but he will also tie with Sanshiro Takagi for most defences of the title. Meanwhile, Crying Wolf could already win their first championship with Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino facing either Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie or Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi, depending on whichever team wins the Hakata Star Lanes main event on 11/12.

“NEW YEARS EVE PRO-WRESTLING 2011 ~ SAMURAI TV! 15TH ANNIVERSARY”, 31/12/2011

The Team Ohka vs Team Sekine challenge is most likely going to be a bunch of fun and games that takes place inbetween matches.


UNION “UNION 6th ANNIVERSARY” Results

November 22, 2011

UNION “UNION 6th ANNIVERSARY”, 22/11/2011
Shinjuku FACE
349 Fans

0. Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health Treatment Match: Yoshiaki Yago & Good Nurse Madoka defeated BENTEN & Miyako when Madoka pinned Miyako with a Brainbuster (2:35).
1. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Buzzsaw Kick (6:35).
2. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title – Mask Vs Mask: Cosmic Warrior Sofia (c) defeated Cosmic Warrior Justine with the Spring Night Love (6:58).
*V1 for Cherry Cosmic Warrior Sofia.
3. Kengo Ohka defeated Shigehiro Irie with a Roll Kick (12:12).
4. Masao Orihara & Big Morohashi defeated Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka when Morohashi pinned Shirai after a chairshot (12:14).
5. 6th Anniversary 9 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Kazuhiko Ogasawara, Poison Sawada, A. YAZAWA, Ryu Gouma, Chou-un Shiryu, Mecha Mummy Lite, Sister Akiko & Takeshi Minamino when Ishikawa pinned Shiryu with the Splash Mountain (10:31).
6. DDT Extreme Title – Falls Count Anywhere: El Generico (c) defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (23:21).
*V2 for El Generico.

The main event lived up to expectations. El Generico wanted to beat Sanshiro Takagi at his own game, so he made their DDT Extreme Title bout a Falls Count Anywhere match. The two brawled all over ringside in Shinjuku FACE with plenty of foreign items brought into play. Takagi brought along a guitar, but Generico took it off him and together they performed “Lullaby of the Jagged Heart” from Natsu No Arashi. Takagi “got a bythsickle” and hit Generico with a Lariat as he cycled past him. After 23 minutes of chaos, Generico hit his patented Turnbuckle Brainbuster to register his second defence of the belt. After the match, Generico said he would defend the title in a TLC match at Korakuen Hall on 3rd January. Ken Ohka, Cherry and Hiroshi Fukuda all pleaded to be the person challenging Generico but in the end, Naomi Susan chose Isami Kodaka to get his rematch with the champ. Generico said Isami had “Corazon de Leon” and he accepted the rematch.

A few after the show ended, Sanshiro Takagi announced that the TKG48 would be dissolved immediately.

The Union 6th Anniversary Handicap match saw Shuji Ishikawa defeat a team of nine wrestlers on his own. Despite the 9-on-1 advantage, the Union team spectacularly imploded as the match went on. Both Tsuyoshi Kikuchi and Kazuhiko Ogasawara forgot the rules of the match and fought each other instead of Ishikawa, Mecha Mummy Lite malfunctioned after getting a kiss from Sister Akiko and A. YAZAWA somehow choked himself unconcious with his own suspenders. This left Ishikawa free to give Chou-un Shiryu the Splash Mountain to win the match and celebrate 6 years of the Union brand.

Masao Orihara had an unusual disadvantage going into the tag match with Big Morohashi against Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka. Due to a threat of sexual harrassment, Orihara could not lay a finger on Shirai for longer than five seconds. This prevented him from using some of his signature moves such as the Spider German Suplex. However, Morohashi had a backup plan. Earlier in the day, Morohashi was seen ransacking Shirai’s luggage in the locker room. He placed something into a paper bag and left the scene before Mio could return. He promised to hand the paper bag back to Mio if her team won the match. Unfortunately for Mio, she was pinned by Morohashi after he swung a chair at Ken Ohka, who ducked and caused Mio to get hit instead. After the match, Orihara opened up the paper bag and took out underwear belonging to Mio! At least, that’s what he thought. Good Nurse Madoka quickly ran into the ring and grabbed the underwear from Morohashi. Turns out the underwear belonged to him! When Mio and Ohka were left alone in the ring, they wondered why they had a poor performance tonight. They both agreed it was because there was no championship to fight for and thus no motivation for competing in the ring.

Kengo Ohka and Shigehiro Irie enjoyed their match so much they both requested to have a rematch in the future.

Cherry, I mean Cosmic Warrior Sofia successfully defended her SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title against Apple Miyuki, I mean Cosmic Warrior Justine in a galactic Mask Vs Mask match. Sofia took advantage of Justine bumping into special ref Ultraman Robin and rolled her over with the Spring Night Love for the pin. Justine was not happy with the result and refused to shake Sofia’s hand. Justine then said she was not the strongest member of the Cosmic Warrior family, her mother Maido was. Out came GAMI to challenge Cherry/Sofia for a title shot. Cherry refused at first, saying GAMI was too old to wrestle for the belt. In the end it was decided that Cherry will face both Ultraman Robin and GAMI in a 3 Way match for the title on Union’s 14th December show at Shinjuku FACE.

Despite losing to Isami Kodaka in the opener, Hiroshi Fukuda presented a bouquet of flowers to Rumi Kazama and asked for her assistance in training. Kazama accepted and shook hands with Fukuda. The rookie pushed his luck and tried to hug her but it was rejected.

Union announced some matches for its final show of the year. The Shinjuku FACE event on 14th December will have Shuji Ishikawa and a mystery partner versus the Kensuke Office team of Katsuhiko Nakajima & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya, the 3 Way match for the SGP Jr. Title and Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka taking on the returning Russian wrestler Ivan Markov and his valet Bonnie. Union also announced it would hold two shows in Osaka during February 2012.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Falls Count Anywhere: El Generico (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi

The DDT Extreme Champion has chosen the kind of match tomorrow’s Union main event will use. El Generico made the risky decision to face Sanshiro Takagi in a match that highly favours the challenger, a Falls Count Anywhere match! Generico has studied Takagi’s previous matches under the stipulation and is confident he will defeat the “King Of Road Wrestling” and keep the DDT Extreme Title in his grasp.


9 Vs 1 Handicap Match, Cosmic Warriors, Let’s Go More 30’s

November 14, 2011

UNION “UNION 6th ANNIVERSARY”, 22/11/2011
Shinjuku FACE

0. Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health Treatment Match: Yoshiaki Yago & Good Nurse Madoka Vs BENTEN & Miyako
1. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title – Mask Vs Mask: Cosmic Warrior Sofia (c) Vs Cosmic Warrior Justine (Special Guest Ref: Ultraman Robin)
3. Kengo Ohka Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. 6th Anniversary 9 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Kazuhiko Ogasawara, Poison Sawada, A. YAZAWA, Ryu Gouma, Chou-un Shiryu, Mecha Mummy Lite, Sister Akiko & Takeshi Minamino
5. Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka Vs Masao Orihara & Big Morohashi
6. DDT Extreme Title: El Generico (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi

Plans have changed for the Battle Royal that was set to take place here to celebrate Union’s 6th Anniversary. Naomi Susan originally planned the match to be a 9-Man Elimination match featuring Union wrestlers from the past and present. However, Shuji Ishikawa pointed out that he did not have a match booked and wanted to get involved. It was decided that the big ace of Union will face the entire field of wrestlers in a 1 Vs 9 Handicap match. I’m not sure if it will be handled as a proper handicap match with all 9 wrestlers in the team standing on the ring or if it will be done gauntlet style.

A special rule has been added to Mio Shirai & Ken Ohka Vs Masao Orihara & Big Morohashi. Orihara will only be allowed to touch Shirai for five seconds at a time. Any longer will be considered harassment and Orihara’s team will be disqualified. Keep in mind the woman who came up with this rule is currently treating her tag team partner like a pet dog.

Ultraman Robin has been added as the special guest referee for Cherry Vs Apple Miyuki. Makes sense since the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title, a belt from Robin’s home promotion, is on the line. Apple Miyuki said that she and Cherry grew up together wrestling in SGP and their fights were filled with “cosmic love”. She requested that they should both wrestle as their SGP masked alter egos. Cherry accepted but also added the stipulation that the loser should unmask! So now the SGP Jr. Title match will be Mask Vs Mask, Cosmic Warrior Sofia (Cherry) against Cosmic Warrior Justine (Apple Miyuki)!

The Kasu Rachoresu Treatment match has been changed from a singles match between Yoshiaki Yago and Miyako, into a tag team match between Yago and his Good Nurse Madoka versus Miyako and her master BENTEN. The bout will also be a dark match. Yago thinks the match will be so dangerous that he doesn’t want Union boss Naomi Susan to see it, fearing that it would upset her.

UNION “SCHOOL FESTIVAL 2011” Results

UNION “SCHOOL FESTIVAL 2011”, 19/10/2011
Shinjuku FACE
368 Fans

1. BENTEN (w/ Miyako) Vs Onryo (w/ Masako Takanashi) ended in a Double Countout (6:06).
2. Yoshiaki Yago & Madoka defeated Lingerie Muto & Big Bang Lingerie when Yago pinned Muto after crotching him on the top rope (8:25).
3. Isami Kodaka (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiro Tsumaki with the Isamu Leg (7:01).
4. SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Cherry defeated Mio Shirai (c) with the Spring Night Love (5:24).
*Mio Shirai fails in V2. Cherry becomes the 6th Champion!
5. RG defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi by DQ when Kikuchi refused to let go of a Boston Crab (10:46).
6. Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara when Fukuda pinned Ohka with the Perfect Plex (11:04).
7. DDT Extreme Title Contendership – 3 Way: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Kengo Ohka when Takagi pinned Ishikawa with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (18:54).

Sanshiro Takagi now gets a match with El Generico for the DDT Extreme Championship at the “UNION 6TH ANNIVERSARY” show on 22nd November. As champion, El Generico gets to choose the stipulations for the match.

Mio Shirai began to cry after she lost the SGP Jr. Heavyweight Title to Cherry. She was upset that without the title, she no longer had a reason to wrestle in Union anymore. Mio said she enjoyed wrestling in Union and then said goodbye to the fans.

However, later that night Big Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Ken Ohka & Masao Orihara with Fukuda getting his first pinfall victory in Union. After the match, Orihara began choking and stomping Ohka out of frustration. Mio returned to ringside to protect Ohka from Orihara. Right there, she found her reason to stay with Union. After all, Mio is still Ohka’s “Master” and only she gets to mistreat him. Orihara and Morohashi were not impressed and they challenged Ohka and Shirai to a tag match for the 6th Anniverary show.

Apparently Tsuyoshi Kikuchi originally beat RG with a Boston Crab but did not let go of the hold when the match ended, so the referee reversed the decision and disqualified him.

Before Match #3 could begin Hiro Tsumaki hit a Quebrada onto Isami Kodaka right before he was about to enter the ring. The two had a match that was described as a slugfest.

Yoshiaki Yago and Madoka did the DX entrance in nurse outfits for their match. The reason is because the Susan Guard had now disbanded and in its place would be a new group called the Kasu Rachoresu Mental Health. Yago, Madoka & Kengo Ohka declared that they will treat the sickness that exists in the wrestling world.

A bunch of names from Union’s past will show up for the 6th Anniversary show at Shinjuku FACE. They include Kazuhiko Ogasawara, A. YAZAWA, Mecha Mummy Lite, Poison Sawada, Sister Akiko, Takeshi Minamino, Ryu Gouma, Chou-un Shiryu and Apple Miyuki.

The main event for Cherry’s “FANTASY ILLUSION 5” at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 13th November was announced. Cherry better be ready for the fight of her life as she will take on Aja Kong!

Isami Kodaka has been preparing for his match with Hiro Tsumaki by training with former joshi wrestler Rumi Kazama in Okinawa. Rumi first came to Isami’s rescue during his Sexy Diva match against Sexxxy Eddy and GAMI back in August. It looks like she will be sticking by his side for the time being.

Geisha girl Miyako commented on BENTEN’s upcoming match against Onryo. The “Global Diva Princess” said Onryo and Masako Takanashi are a far cry from the people BENTEN wrestled in Madison Square Garden for a company called WWG, which somehow stands for World Wide Edge.
