DDT “SHIN-KIBA 5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL” Results

November 3, 2010

DDT held a triple bill of shows in Shin-Kiba 1st RING today to celebrate the arena’s 5th anniversary. There was a Monthly Young Communication show, a Union show and the DDT show itself, which is the only show I have results for right now.

Young Drama Cup Table

1. Keisuke Ishii [5]
2. Takao Soma [4]
3. Yukihiro Abe [3]
4. Shigehiro Irie [2]
5. Kazuki Hirata [0]
-. Rion Mizuki [0]

Both of the KO-D Tag Team Title belts went missing before the show. Danshoku Dino was convinced that MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba stole the belts and were keeping them hostage in order to get another title shot. This led to the main event being changed into an I Quit match where Dino could get the Suicide Boyz to confess to their crimes. He took advantage of the rules to interrogate his opponents in the usual Dino fashion. However, when Dino found out MIKAMI & Toba were innocent he was blindsided by his own partners Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki, causing the match to be thrown out. Honda & Sasaki revealed that they were the ones who stole the belts! DDT General Manager, Tsurumi Amon was quick to react and made a KO-D Tag Title match for the Osaka show on the 14th. It will be the Butt Samurai (yes, that is the team name for Dino & Shiro Koshinaka) versus Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki for the belts!

Speaking of belts, a large group of them changed hands during the show. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation has finally found success and all it took was for them to beat up two kids and an old man defeat one of the most dominating trios in the history of professional wrestling. The Great Kojika, Mr. #6 & Riho were the fan favourites while the SHF, Michael Nakazawa especially were booed throughout the match. Mr. #6 sacrificed himself to protect Riho from a Nakazawa Lotion Backwash Attack but in the end Tomimitsu Matsunaga put the Great Kojika down for the count with the Tommy Bomber Lariat. The SHF now have 9 physical belts added to their trophy cabinet and some space is left for a certain Openweight title that Hikaru Sato has set his sights on for Osaka.


Upcoming DDT Cards for September & October

September 15, 2010

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2010”
26/09/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
1. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs KUDO & Yasu Urano
2. Trial Unit Gauntlet Match: MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Shigehiro Irie & Hoshitango Vs Rion Mizuki & Takao Soma Vs Keisuke Ishii & Yukihiro Abe
3. Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Great Kojika, Emi Sakura & Ultraman Robin
4. Muscle Sakai DDT Last Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Muscle Sakai
5. Special Singles Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. KO-D Tag Team Title: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi

A pretty busy card for Korakuen Hall. The KO-D Tag Team Championships take the headline spot with Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino facing Disaster-BOX duo HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi. The result of this match might help determine the next challenger for HARASHIMA’s KO-D Openweight Title or even Dino’s DDT Extreme Title.

Kota Ibushi makes his return to the ring facing off against Daisuke Sasaki. Ibushi’s return from injury was spoiled by YOSHIHIKO at last week’s Camping Ground event. Here, Sasaki can add salt to the wounds with a major victory over the Golden Star that would springboard him back into title contention.

The last days of Muscle Sakai wrestling before his retirement now leads to his final match for the DDT brand against Sanshiro Takagi. While his retirement show won’t take place until a forthnight later, it will still be an emotional match for everyone involved.

The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation marks its first match as a group by taking on the random squad of the Great Kojika from Big Japan, Emi Sakura of Ice Ribbon and Ultraman Robin of Specialist Global Pro. Never knew Robin had his own promotion.

The fresh set of teams formed during the Battle Royal at Shin-Kiba earlier this month will all face each other in a Gauntlet match. No Engrish team names made yet though. Also Dick Togo and GENTARO have their first match together as a team against the former Tag Champs KUDO & Yasu Urano.

DDT “SAPPORO PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL”
10/10/2010
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Nunchucks & Nunchucks Board Death Match: Hiroki Vs Chiharu
2. Antonio Honda Vs Tomoya
3. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Takao Soma
4. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs DJ Nira
5. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Futoshi Miwa Vs Sanshiro Takagi, KUDO & Yukihiro Abe
6. Losers From 26/09 Tag Title Match Vs Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato
7. KO-D Tag Team Title: KO-D Tag Team Champions After 26/09 Vs MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba

The Suicide Boyz have been given a second chance to go after the KO-D Tag Titles. MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba became the No. 1 Contenders at Sumo Hall, but their title match with Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa turned into a Three Way with Dino & Koshinaka thrown into the mix. It was Dino & Koshinaka who became champions while the Suicide Boyz were left cursing at the unfair decision of adding another team. To make it up to them, DDT has given MIKAMI & Toba another title shot and this time there will be no other teamds added to the mix. But who they face won’t be determined until the Korakuen Hall show takes place.


NON-FIX 9.8 Results, Rotten New Faction Appears

September 9, 2010

DDT “NON-FIX 9.8”
08/09/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Urano pinned Honda with a Tornado Clutch (11:47).
2. Unit Reorganization Battle Royal: MIKAMI Vs Tanomusaku Toba Vs Hoshitango Vs Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Yukihiro Abe Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Rion Mizuki Vs Takao Soma.
2a. Keisuke Ishii pinned Michael Nakazawa with a Backslide Pin (2:02).
2b. MIKAMI pinned Michael Nakazawa with the 450 Splash (4:52).
2c. Shigehiro Irie pinned Michael Nakazawa with the Diving Teddy Bear (6:24).
2d. Michael Nakazawa pinned Takao Soma with a Small Package (8:04).
2e. Takao Soma pinned Michael Nakazawa with an Enzuigiri (10:04).
3. Dick Togo defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Crippler Crossface (8:04).
4. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yuki Miyazaki with the Sit Down Sunflower Bomb (14:42).
5. Muscle Sakai Shin-Kiba Last Match: HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi defeated Danshoku Dino & Muscle Sakai when HARASHIMA pinned Sakai with the Somato Stomp (16:24).

With Yuki Miyazaki’s retirement set for New Year’s Eve, she requested to have a match against Sanshiro Takagi before it takes place. Takagi overpowered the joshi veteran for a lot of the match, but Miyazaki fought back and almost won with a Moonsault. But in the end Takagi was too much for her and he pinned her with a devastating Sunflower Bomb. Afterwards, Takagi thanked Miyazaki for her time as a wrestler, but pointed out that he himself won’t retire until he is 90 years old. He then lifted Miyazaki up onto his shoulders and they celebrated as they went to the back.

After match #3, Dick Togo introduced GENTARO as his new tag team partner.

The point of the Unit Reorganization Battle Royal was to reshuffle and create new tag teams. The rules were that when a wrestler wins a fall, he gets to choose someone in the match to team with in the future. Those two wrestlers then leave the ring and the match starts again. It continues until there are only two wrestlers left, and then those two would be forced to be a team. Keisuke Ishii picked Yukihiro Abe as his partner. MIKAMI decided to stick with Tanomusaku Toba and continue to be one of the Suicide Boyz. Shigehiro Irie chose Hoshitango to form a pretty heavy duo. When Michael Nakazawa pinned Takao Soma, he then chose the rookie as his partner. Takao told Michael he does not like him and would not team with him, so the match restarted. When Takao pinned Michael, it looked like he would choose Tomimitsu Matsunaga. Instead, Takao said he doesn’t like him either and in the end went with Rion Mizuki so they can go out and drink champagne. This left Nakazawa and a reluctant Matsunaga being forced to team up together and once again become the Nuru Nuru Brothers.

But wait, there’s more. After the show ended, Hikaru Sato showed up and approached Michael Nakazawa and Tomimitsu Matsungaga at the exit. After a few words and a slap across Michael’s face, the three decided to form a new faction, the Shittohato♥Foundation! I’m trying to find out the proper translation. Shittohato might mean “Rotten Heart”. So maybe it is the “Rotten Heart Foundation” or “Rotten ♥ Foundation“, which sounds right to me. They already have a faction symbol, which is using their hands to form hearts over their chests (Awww, how cute!). Despite this bombshell, everyone in attendance ignored them as they left and the rest of the staff got headaches from their shouting.

Edit: Thanks goes to Ryan over at CZWFans for his explanation.

シットハート♥ファウンデーション = “shitto hāto ♥ faundēshon” or Shit Hart ♥ Foundation. Yeah.

Rotten heart is kind of what they mean by the name. 腐った心 or kusatta kokoro or rotten/decomposing/depressed heart/mind/spirit. Something like that.

It is obviously just a pun, but the name may have more layers of meaning to it than that.

Shit Heart ♥ Foundation it is then.

One more word of note, I will be travelling over to England this weekend to see the two Dragon Gate UK shows, so there will not be any more updates on this site until I return next week.
