March 11, 2019

DDT “DRAMATIC DOKUGANRYU! 2019”, 10/03/2019
Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall
271 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase when Sakaguchi submitted Watase with the Modified Cobra Clutch (8:03).
2. Oshu Three Big Single Match: Keisuke Okuda defeated Kazuki Hirata with a School Boy (15:04).
3. Oshu Three Big Single Match: Toru Owashi defeated Makoto Oishi with a School Boy (7:39).
4. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Bull James, Kazusada Higuchi & Antonio Honda when Takao pinned Honda with the Gin And Tonic (10:42).
5. Osaki City Origin MAO Local Triumph! Miyagi Specialty Hardcore Match: MAO & Mike Bailey defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Sendai Bean (Tsuyoshi Kikuchi) when MAO pinned Takagi with the Cannonball 450 through a Plastic Case (16:19).
6. ALL OUT Vs DISASTER BOX: HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino when HARASHIMA pinned Katsumata with the Somato (12:41).
7. Born In Shiroishi City Tetsuya Endo Local Triumph! – Oshu Three Big Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Akito with the Shooting Star Press (22:46).

After the main event Tetsuya Endo talked about the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake because this weekend was the 8th anniversary of the disaster. On that day, Endo was having his school graduation ceremony. When he stood waiting at the Sendai train station when the earthquake alarm suddenly began. The centre of the station’s ceiling collapsed and he ran away. He wondered if this was reality because it felt like he was in a movie as he ran. It was a horrible experience but now eight years later he is able to wrestle in Miyagi along with the rest of DAMNATION. His point was that human beings are strong, both those in the ring and those who came to see the show today.

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi allegedly wasn’t in the venue in time for his match so Sanshiro Takagi’s new partner was Sendai Bean (Kikuchi doing a weird Mr. Bean imitation). However during the match Sendai Bean went missing and Kikuchi reappeared to take part in the match, despite still wearing the Sendai Bean costume. The Hardcore Tag match saw Takagi put both MAO & Mike Bailey through a table with a Diving Body Press, the return of the Dramatic Dream Cycle, plenty of broken plastic cases, MAO giving Takagi a Michinoku Driver onto a ladder and a Cannonball 450 through a plastic case. MAO apologised to the fans for the sudden decision to make this a hardcore match without any explanation.

Bull James joined in with Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune story after he accidentally tripped over him and hurt himself the same way Honda always does.

Match #2 looked like it was going to have no ending when Keisuke Okuda threatened to snap Kazuki Hirata’s glasses in two. Hirata ran off scared and Okuda chased after him. They reappeared in the next match and accidentally interfered in the contest Toru Owashi and Makoto Oishi were having. After more shenanigans, Okuda and Owashi both pinned Hirata and Oishi with School Boys at the same time to win their matches.

I think they missed an opportunity for the DISASTER BOX reunion. If you want Shogo Takagi to team with the new gen version of the group wouldn’t it make more sense to team him with Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura? Another idea is replace the ALL OUT team with the Ueno, Yoshimura & HARASHIMA for a full blown DISASTER BOX match.

Memories of Union Pro will come flooding back when Ken Ohka and Isami Kodaka face off. Both of them have long and storied histories with the sub-promotion during its ten year existence. Kodaka was there from the start while Ohka arrived six months after him. They have grown and evolved a lot since its closure.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAN~” Results

May 4, 2018

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAN~”, 04/05/2018
Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall
301 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Toru Owashi & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Sakaguchi pinned Shimatani with the PK (6:29).
2. 3 Way Match: Hiratimo Dragon defeated Antonio Honda and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi by Disqualification when Kikuchi unmasked Dragon (10:06).
3. HARASHIMA & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi & Yuki Ueno when Takao pinned Oishi with the Official Endless Waltz (11:44).
4. Dirty Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Mad Paulie ended in a No Contest (8:09).
5. Shigehiro Irie, Mizuki Watase & Jason Kincaid defeated Keisuke Ishii, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Irie pinned Iwasaki with the Beast Bomber (9:27).
6. Born In Shiroishi Tetsuya Endo Triumph! DAMNATION Vs Shuten-dōji!: Tetsuya Endo defeated Masahiro Takanashi with the Shooting Star Press (16:01).
7. Osaka City Origin MAO Local Triumph! Miyagi Specialty Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & MAO defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when MAO pinned Katsumata with a Cannonball 450 (20:01).

MAO thanked Kazusada Higuchi for providing strong support as part of their main event victory. Even though the show was in MAO’s home city he didn’t get a hero’s welcome from the crowd. He told them that broke his heart.

Tetsuya Endo dedicated his win over Masahiro Takanashi to Daisuke Sasaki. He also isn’t happy that he has to replace Sasaki as Soma Takao’s opponent this Sunday. According to Endo he never agreed to take the match.

Keisuke Ishii avoided Shigehiro Irie as much as he could during their trios match. Irie said DDT is giving them several opportunities to fight before their KO-D Openweight Title match so Ishii can’t run away from him forever.

Danshoku Dieno’s urges got out of control and caused his match with Mad Paulie to be called off. Paulie, Yukinori Matsui and Yuki Iino were all targeted by Dieno.

In the 3 Way Match Antonio Honda unmasked Hiratimo Dragon by accident. In a panic Honda threw the mask to Tsuyoshi Kikuchi. Kikuchi wore the mask and tried to continue wrestling but the referee disqualified him and awarded Hiratimo the victory.

Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall
468 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Masa Takanashi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Takatonic (14:09).

*V1 for Team Dream Futures.

The main event not only saw a successful KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title defence but also the DDT Extreme Champion being pinned by his next challenger. Shigehiro Irie swore that he will win the title from Akito.

There was a clash of interest with the Infomercial Match. It was originally supposed to advertise Tsuyoshi Kikuchi’s business but The Great Kojika unexpectedly appeared to promote a Big Japan show being held in Sendai on 9th June. The two teams battled over what should be advertised. Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda promoted Kikuchi’s business whenever they applied a submission hold while Sanshiro Takagi & Gorgeous Matsuno hyped the Big Japan show when they were in control of the match. When the match was over Kikuchi was upset because he wasn’t finished handing out flyers to everyone in the audience.

Masa Takanashi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga were both fined for arriving at the company bus late before it took off to Miyagi. They both overslept.

Ganbare Literally Crashes Union Press Conference

March 11, 2014

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2014”, 23/03/2014
Kawasaki Plaza Sol

1. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Yumehito Imanari
2. Seiya Morohashi & Daichi Kazato Vs Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Hikaru Sato Vs SAGAT
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) Vs Mio Shirai
5. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The war between Union and Ganbare☆Wrestling heats up in Miyagi with two matches booked between the two promotions. Mitomi Masayuki admits he is in a complex position because his next match is personal. Masayuki went to the same university as his opponent Yumehito Imanari. Masayuki was a first year student while Imanari was a senior when they were both in the college wrestling club. Back then Imanari wrestled under the name Sakuragaoka Kinteki and Masayuki remembered how much he wanted to become a pro wrestler despite suffering many setbacks. However, Masayuki believes that Imanari is not the person he used to know thanks to Ganbare☆Wrestling. He called Ganpuro a vanity project and he will show Imanari what he lacks as a pro wrestler. Imanari’s response was the wrestling ring is just a square and he asked what will Masayuki do when he takes the fight outside of the square. If Masayuki can only wrestle inside the sqaure then Imanari will end him on the 23rd.

union-ganbare-bicycle

The press conference for the show was literally crashed by Ken Ohka, who arrived late, entered the room on a bicycle and cycled into Seiya Morohashi. Imanari then attacked Morohashi and held him in place so Ohka could cycle into him again.

cherry-notmio

There was also a discussion about the Fly To Everywhere Title match. The champion Cherry was in attendance but Mio Shirai was unable to appear due to other commitments. So she was represented by a person holding a drawing of a fox in front of their face. “Mio” praised Cherry for being strong, youthful and always shining. “She” asked how to make “her” ageing face look as youthful and Cherry said “she” needed heavy make up. Cherry also brought up the Age Contra Makeup match she and Shirai were supposed to have in May 2012. Shirai wound up getting injured before the match and had to be replaced my Emi Sakura, who beat Cherry and forced her to finally reveal her true date of birth. Cherry said “Mio” ran away from that match and she still resents her for that.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN SENDAI”, 04/05/2014
Miyagi El Park Sendai

1. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs X

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi returns to Union after a two year absence. Kikuchi retired from wrestling back in August 2012 due to a serious injury adding to his already poor physical condition. He has since found a job at a training company in Miyagi where he still works to this day. Now recovered and with permission from his boss, Kikuchi promises to return to Union with a blast!
