fuma-ishikawa-headbutt

When DDT was done for the day, Union took over Korakuen Hall for their Golden Week show. The main event had FUMA and Shuji Ishikawa battling each other in a ring filled with roses for the Union MAX Title. Roses covered everything from the ropes to tables and chairs. Despite getting help from the King Legion at certain points, FUMA proved that he deserved to be champion by taking everything Ishikawa threw at him. He kicked out of the Running Knee Lift, the Splash Mountain threw a Rose Board. FUMA escaped from the Fire Thunder that would have driven him into a pile of chairs. He Headbutted Ishikawa and hit Buzzsaw Kicks and High Kicks. Ishikawa kept kicking out until FUMA hit the Jawbreaker Kick and then the Diving Headbutt. That was enough for FUMA to earn the win. FUMA declared himself the only original ace of Union. Yusuke Kubo suddenly approached FUMA to tell him Union was still willing to fight. He had Hiroshi Fukuda and Seiya Morohashi backing him up. This sets up a 6-Man Tag Team match between Union and the King Legion to take place soon.

fistbump

Isami Kodaka successfully defended the Independent World Jr. Title for the first time with a win over Yukio Sakaguchi. Isami’s kicks were too quick for the challenger. Sakaguchi was able to block the Isamuashi Zan but Kodaka immediately followed with a Buzzsaw Kick followed by another Isamuashi Zan for the three count. The two fistbumped after the match.

baggy-pants

The 2nd Generation Muscle Sakai Final was between Hiroshi Fukuda and Super Sasadango Machine. The winner gets to be the next Muscle Sakai. Let that sink in for a moment… Hanging above the ring was golden baggy pants, American flag baggy pants, gray baggy pants and t-shirts from both wrestlers. The golden pants are important as that is needed to represent Muscle Sakai II. It was up to the wrestlers to decide their fate. When Fukuda climbed the ladder his thoughts were broadcast over the sound system. Would he abandon his own identity to become Muscle Sakai? A voice from Heaven told him not to. Antonio Honda pulled down Fukuda and helped Sasadango up the ladder. Sasadango had the same crisis of confidence but he was more concerned by which baggy pants looked more fashionable. He decided to pull down the golden pants. But as he put them on Fukuda rolled him over and locked in an Armbar, forcing Sasadango to tap. Fukuda was given the right to be Muscle Sakai II and to wear the golden pants but he refused when he found out he would also take over Sakai’s 35 million yen mortgage, all of his taxes and also all of his obligations towards Sakai’s wife and family.

sagat-kazato

The King Legion continued their dominance over Union with a win over three of their regular wrestlers. The match started off as a brawl but then settled down when the Legion took control. The combined experience of the Legion was too much for the Union Sekigun and SAGAT scored the victory when he choked out Daichi Kazato with a Sleeper Hold.

shirai-ohka

Ken Ohka returned to Union for the first time since last year’s Union Ganbare War. He was here to reunite with Mio Shirai one last time before her retirement later this year. Kengo Mashimo joined in the occasion by using the name Kengo Ohka once more. Sadly the reunion ended in defeat when both Kengo & Seiya Morohashi applied Crippler Crossfaces to Shirai & Ohka. After the match Ohka led the crowd in cheers for Shirai and also Ganbare☆Wrestling.

fte-mii-cherry

Hibiscus Mii has come from out of nowhere to win the Fly To Everywhere Title! Her new title reign now gives her a reason to travel from Okinawa to Tokyo more often but she would rather defend the belt in her home promotion Ryukyu Dragon Pro Wrestling.

madoka-ladybeard

Madoka again tried to get Harumi Tachibana to marry him. He asked Ryu Gouma for legal advice over the issue. Gouma told him that according to Article 24 of the Constitution, marriage is established on the basis of only the agreement of both sexes. Article 741 of the Civil Code says the marriage is invalid if there was no agreement. Ladybeard would face Madoka to assess if he was worthy of marrying Tachibana. As the two wrestled Tachibana asked Gouma for his law book. The two fought over the book and it lead to Gouma accidentaly striking Ladybeard when he pulled the book away with all his strength. Madoka capitalised and rolled over Ladybeard for the pinfall. Madoka again proposed to Tachibana but she dumped him for Ladybeard instead.

sato-kazato-ankle

UNION “UNION TOWARDS THE SUMMER!”, 13/07/2014
Osaka Higashinari Kumin Hall
360 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura defeated FUMA & SAGAT when Kawamura pinned SAGAT with a Moonsault (10:18).
2. Seiya Morohashi defeated El Hijo del Goro with the Crippler Crossface (7:17).
3. Ladybeard & Mio Shirai defeated Cherry & Hatsuhinode Kamen when Shirai pinned Kamen with an Executive Kick (10:43).
4. Heijitsu Mask Retirement Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Heijitsu Mask with the Perfect Plex (18:17).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Goro Jr. with the Zan Isamu Leg (14:29).
6. Hikaru Sato & Shibata defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Daichi Kazato when Sato submitted Kazato with an Ankle Hold (16:55).

The journey to Hikaru Sato Vs Shuji Ishikawa is going to be long but there will be plenty of interactions between the two along the way. The two were on opposite sides of a tag team main event at today’s Union show. Sato was joined by Shibata, a Pancrase fighter who has been featured a lot in Ganbare☆Wrestling recently. Shibata wrestled the match while having a GoPro camera strapped to his chest. While Ishikawa did what he could he wound up on the losing team when his partner Daichi Kazato tapped out to Sato’s Ankle Hold.

Hiroshi Fukuda said it was the pinnacle of honour for him to be in Heijitsu Mask’s retirement match. The retirement ceremony revealed that Heijitsu Mask was born on Sunday 7th July, 1903. At the age of 15 he had his debut match in Kathmandu, Nepal and was undefeated for 401 matches.

After winning a match as a team, Mio Shirai challenged Ladybeard to a Fly To Everywhere Title match for 31st August. Ladybeard said he does not have the face of a girl but he is the strongest women’s wrestler in Japan. Mio said she will make Ladybeard’s fans cry.

Ryu Gouma had to pull out of the show. He was replaced by El Hijo del Goro.

UNION “WORK IS BEAUTIFUL” Results

November 23, 2013

union-1000rose

UNION “WORK IS BEAUTIFUL”, 23/11/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Tomoya Kawamura with the Anna Cutter (7:46).
2. Idea Pocket Presents: Mio Shirai (w/ Tsubasa Amami) defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma (w/ Rola Mizusaki) when Shirai pinned Gouma with a Small Package (6:31).
3. Seiya Morohashi & Cherry defeated SAGAT & Kyoko Kimura when Cherry pinned SAGAT with the Spring Night Love (11:53).
4. MEN’S Teioh defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold (16:37).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Menso~re Oyaji with the Zan Isamu Leg (13:44).
6. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated FUMA with the Splash Mountain onto the Rose Board (16:55).

It is recommended you listen to “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal as you read the results.

FUMA’s first ever death match was not as rosy as the name suggested. Shuji Ishikawa defeated the young wrestler in a 1,000 Roses Death Match where everything was covered in roses. Ishikawa thought it was fun while FUMA described the match as “doom and gloom” but he felt he came out as a stronger wrestler.

Naomi Susan announced the official creation of the Union MAX Championship. Susan wanted a name that was simple but represents how Union can go full force at any time. Shuji Ishikawa will face Russia’s Ivan Markov in Shinjuku FACE on 11th December to crown the first champion. Susan watched Isami Kodaka’s recent matches in Russia and was impressed with how much Markov has improved since his last visit to Japan, which is why he was selected to face Ishikawa.

Hiroshi Fukuda and MEN’S Teioh slowly bonded during their match together. Fukuda kept calling Teioh “Terry” and eventually “Terry Boy” as they wrestled. Teioh submitted Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold. The two reappeared after the Isami Kodaka Vs Menso~re Oyaji match. Fukuda sarcastically congratulated Kodaka for winning the match and then challenged him to a future KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto already have title defences to prepare for so Naomi Susan called up Amon Tsurumi to sort it out. Fukuda named his new team Texas Tornado Broncos Tokyo.

SAGAT had his mouth stuffed with a banana while he teamed with Kyoko Kimura. Unfortunately, Kimura booted SAGAT in the face by accident, costing them the match against Cherry & Seiya Morohashi.

Ryu Gouma is the latest person to insert himself into the Idea Pocket shenanigans (minds out of the gutter please). He was added to the match as Mitomi Masayuki’s partner to make it a 2-on-1 match against Mio Shirai. Despite that, Shirai continues to grow her harem of Idea Pocket Divas by winning the services of Rola Mizusaki. Afterwards it was announced that the Aipoke World Title was declared vacant and a new champion will be crowned on 11/12.

An Australian martial artist named Richard Burn will make his Union debut on the 11/12 show. Burn has travelled the world in order to master many marial arts including taekwondo, capoeira, kick boxing and Jeet Kune Do. Burn greeted the fans and said he heard Japan has many strong fighters. His debut match will be against Daichi Kazato.

Roses Are Red, The Bruises Are Blue, Union Is Weird, That Much Is True

November 12, 2013

UNION “WORK IS BEAUTIFUL”, 23/11/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs MEN’S Teioh
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Menso~re Oyaji
3. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs FUMA

The 1,000 Roses Death Match returns to Union after it was introduced in March 2012. It is a hardcore match where the ropes and every weapon in the arena is covered in roses brought in by the fans. There is also a bonus rule where a rope break only counts if there are no roses on the rope being touched. This time around it will just be a singles match between Shuji Ishikawa and FUMA. This will be a good warm up for Ishikawa before he goes into the Union Championship decision match in December. A win for FUMA could very well convince Naomi Susan to pick him as Shuji’s opponent for that title match.

The legendary MEN’S Teioh will wrestle in Union for the first time this month facing Hiroshi Fukuda. If there is anyone that can put up with Fukuda’s nonsense, it’s Teioh.

9. Get The Glory! Tournament – Final: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Isami Kodaka with the Splash Mountain (13:26).

Union celebrated its 8th Anniversary plus its recent change to an independent promotion by holding a one night tournament featuring its home wrestlers. Shuji Ishikawa won the Get The Glory Tournament, defeating Isami Kodaka in the final. Naomi Susan said the final was worthy of being a title match and she now wants Union to create its own championship in time for their Shunjuku FACE show on 11th December. Ishikawa thanked the fans for supporting Union and promises they will be around for the 9th Anniversary, 10th Anniversary, 15th Anniversary, 20th Anniversary, 25th Anniversary, 30th Anniversary, 40th Anniversary and the 100th Anniversary.

At the beginning of the show, Isami Kodaka mentioned he will be travelling to Russia tomorrow. He and Masa Takanashi will be wrestling in the IWF this weekend. It is the same promotion that Union visitors Ivan Markov and Ronnie Crimson came from. Kodaka will be facing Markov for the IWF Championship and he hopes he will become a Triple Crown Champion by holding the IWF, KO-D Tag Team and BJW Tag Team Titles all at the same time.

Mio Shirai’s harem of Idea Pocket idols is growing. Shirai, Menso~re Oyaji and Mitomi Masayuki each had an idol in their corner and battled each other to win all three. Mio won the match and the idols expressed relief that they were now with her instead of any of the men. Mio was delighted and said she wants to attract more and more flirty Divas over to Union.

Tomoya Kawamura said he wanted to do the Sling Blade like Hiroshi Tanahashi during his debut match but realised he couldn’t do it because he is still immature as a wrestler. He also revealed he originally had a tryout with DDT and during that tryout he showed off his Yoda impersonation from Star Wars Episode II. His impersonation is from a scene where Yoda warns Obi-Wan about Anakin turning to the Dark Side, if you must know.

UNION “THE DECEMBER UNION 2012” Results

December 24, 2012

december-union

UNION “THE DECEMBER UNION 2012”, 24/12/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
267 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Yasushi Sato defeated SAGAT with a Backslide Pin (4:18).
1. Ryuichi Sekine (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Mame Endo) with a High Kick (4:55).
2. Hida Kubota & Yasu Kubota defeated Goro Jr. & El Hijo del Goro when Hida Kubota pinned El Hijo del Goro with a Piledriver (5:24).
3. Reindeer Match: Ken Ohka defeated Mio Shirai when he took her reindeer hat (0:15).
3a. Mio Shirai defeated Ken Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock (3:26).
4. Menso~re Oyaji & Mr. #6 defeated Cherry & Gabaiji-chan when Mr. #6 pinned Cherry with a Cradle (10:19).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Seiya Morohashi, Hiro Tsumaki & Daichi Kazato when Ishii pinned Kazato with a Boston Crab (12:20).
6. Shuji Ishikawa & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

Union’s final show of the year ended with a 30 minute draw between four of its strongest wrestlers. At the beginning of the show it was announced that Keisuke Ishii will defend the DDT Extreme Title against Isami Kodaka on 14th January. The person who comes out as champion will then go to DDT and challenge Kenny Omega for the KO-D Openweight Title on 27th January.

Shuji Ishikawa will be in Big Japan the day before to face Abdullah Kobayashi a second time for the BJW Death Match Title.

Cherry had another important announcement today. This time she will begin learning English. Mio Shirai came down and called out Cherry for wasting everyone’s time by constantly announcing new hobbies. Masako Takanashi then appeared for the first time in a long time to talk about the LPGA. Somehow this leads to Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto being booked for 14th January.

Since it was Christmas, Hiroshi Fukuda was given a kiss on the cheek by both Rumi Kazama and Mame Endo. It was later announced that Fukuda will face Jun Kasai on 14/1. Fukuda hid under the ring when he found out about the match.

Ken Ohka finally scored a victory over Mio Shirai. However, it doesn’t sounds so great when you hear it was in a Reindeer Match where the first person to take off their opponent’s reindeer hat and shout “Gross!” wins. Ohka was able to do that in 15 seconds. The crowd booed the anti-climatic result and a rematch was immediately held under normal rules. This time around it was business as usual, Mio submitted Ohka with the Figure Four Neck Lock.

At the end of the show every member of the Union roster gave an end of year message. Naomi Susan thanked everyone for supporting Union. Ryu Gouma announced he wants to return to wrestling next year and he’ll do his best to be a dignified wrestling lawyer. Hiroshi Fukuda began a “USA!” chant and yelled “Love and peace! The war is over!” Rumi Kazama said she wanted to be Union’s top diva next year. Goro Jr. simply mumbled into the microphone. Ken Ohka said he was frustrated he lost so many matches but relied on the support of the Union fans. Mr. #6 said he wants to travel to the United States. Mio Shirai said she was No. 1 this year and will be the best next year. Hiro Tsumaki said he got a lot of solid training in Okinawa and now wants to win a championship. El Generico said he always wants to come back to Japan. Shuji Ishikawa said he will come back to Union with the BJW Death Match Title wrapped around his waist. Finally, Isami Kodaka finished the speech saying as the future ace of Union, he will help make the place fun, intense and spicy!

The bump up to main event for Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma means that they will no longer face Sanshiro Takagi & Yoshihiro Takayama on the card. Instead, Takagi & Takayama will take on the new team of Shima-Hiro.
