Dai Resigns, NOSAWA Returns, Gorgeous Night, Takayama Pops Up In Odate

October 19, 2012

Takashi Dai, who was injured in his debut match back in March has resigned from DDT. Dai suffered a cervical fracture as well as damage to his spinal cord during his match with Shigehiro Irie and has been been in rehabilitation since then. The good news is he has recovered enough to where he can exercise again. However, it is unlikely he will return to wrestling anytime soon so he and DDT came to terms on his release.

NOSAWA Rongai shows up in DDT for the first time since June 2010 (his last Union appearance was more recent, this past January) to take part in Poison Sawada JULIE’s retirement tour. JULIE is also bringing in some former spiritual allies to face the collective trio of NOSAWA, Seiya Morohashi and longtime journeyman Kazuhiko Matsuzaki.

The Drift wrestlers have a rather large mountain to climb in the form of Yoshihiro Takayama. The Hawtness and Sanshiro Takagi have the chance to put the rowdy youngsters in their place.
