*V? for Mr. Perfect.

For those of you who think Japan needs more sports entertainment, the debut show of Ultimate Superstars Action wass exactly what you are looking for. After the show opening pyro, “Mr. Perfect” Hiroshi Fukuda and his manager Rikiya Hart to perform the American national anthem. Fukuda then invited out the owner of USA and made a promise to him that today will be a happy day for the USA Superstars. King Aiba was the commentator in the Spanish Announce Table while Susan Garcia handled ring announcing duties.

The first match was Mr. Perfect successfully defending the US Heavyweight Title against Rabbit Miu. Fukuda got a cheap victory thanks to Rikiya Heart tripping Miu from outside the ring. After the match, Fukuda yelled at the fans to respect him. Hara Cena interrupted Fukuda and challenged him to put the US Title on the line in the main event.

Middle Eastern tag team Michael Sheik & Masa de Bali attempted to burn the American flag before their USA World Tag Team Title defence. Hulk Petit Hogan & The Kikutimate Warrior came to the rescue and defeated the evil foreigners to become the new Tag Team Champions!

Eddie Showtime came out next for the IC Title match. Despite being the challenger, Eddie introduced the champion and his “mamacita” Choina. He told her he did not want to fight this evening, handed her a red rose and then asked her out to dinner so he can feel her “Latina Heat”. Choina answered with a Clothesline and the match begun. Choina beat Eddie with a Power Bomb to keep her championship but she rewarded her man with a kiss on the cheek afterwards.

The $10,000 Backbreaker Challenge was next. Fukuda brought out Okaberg, a powerful Jackhammer of a man he found inside an American prison. He challenged anyone to escape from Okaberg’s Argentine Backbreaker. Three young wrestlers entered the contest and all of them failed. Okaberg was then added into the main event.

Ricky Fuji was inducted into the USA Hall of Fame. Fuji’s speech was just “Thank you. I’m so happy! Woooooo!!” A mystery Honky Tonk Man interrupted the ceremony but Fuji put him in his place by smashing a guitar over his head.

The semi-main event presented by AV company Idea Pocket and fittingly pitted Mako Venus against The Knotfather. After some unsexy dancing, The Knotfather picked up the win with the Pimp Drop.

The main event was Japan’s first ever Elimination Chamber match. Unfortunately the actual chamber was too big to fit inside Shin-Kiba 1st RING so they just brought in the capsules for the inactive wrestlers to stay in before they entered the match. The rules were also changed to where eliminations only occured when wrestlers were thrown over the top rope and both feet touched the ground outside. Fukuda defend his US Title for the second time in the show and survived fighting Hara Cena, Okaberg, Poldust, The Big Shoe and KI Punk. But the night did not end so happily for the champ. He brawled with Hara Cena up to the entrance and was given the Attitude Adjustment off of the stage! Okaberg then grabbed Rikiya Hart and did the same thing, throwing Hart from the stage to the floor below. The show ended with Hara Cena & Okaberg having a staredown.

Mr. Perfect – Hiroshi Fukuda
USA Owner – Sanshiro Takagi
Rikiya Hart – Rikiya Shindo
Hulk Petit Hogan – Antonio Honda

4. Hall of Fame Ceremony:
5. Recapturing Elizabeth!? Wrestling Soap Opera Final Match:
6. Japan’s First Elimination Chamber Match:
7. Idea Pocket Presents – ALL or NOTHING: “Val Venis” Vs “The Godfather”

USA has struck a partnership deal with the AV company Idea Pocket. Part of the deal involves Idea Pocket presenting their own match for USA’s first show. It’s becoming very clear at this point that USA will not be a PG promotion. All I can gather is the match will be between “Val Venis” and “The Godfather”. Judging by the translation, it sounds like there are going to be a harem of Val Venises and a ho train of Godfathers taking part in the match.

DDT “BIG HOUSE ARROW HOMETOWN 2013”, 30/03/2013
Toyama Takaoka Coeur

1. 3 Way Match: DJ Nira Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Tetsuya Endo

6. Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi Vs Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma

Sanshiro Takagi, Keisuke Ishii & DJ Nira all risk losing their Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts at this show. HARASHIMA not so much.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs A.YAZAWA

Kenny Omega still has the DDT Extreme Title around his waist but he will get another tough defence coming up. A.YAZAWA has the advantage since the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match is his speciality.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2013”, 13/04/2013
Shinjuku FACE

KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Sakaguchi presents a fresh challenge not just for Irie but for KO-D Championship matches in general. Hikaru Sato was the last person with a shootfighting background to win and compete for the title. No disrespect to the guy but it looks like Sakaguchi outranks him in that area. However, Sakaguchi has only just recently begun to understand and fit into the crazy world of DDT and he hasn’t faced anyone like Irie. A victory for the new champion would make a strong statement from the get go.

3. DDT Extreme Title – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs A.YAZAWA

While Kenny Omega is busy wrestling around Europe and North America, he mailed a letter to DDT naming his next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. In order to increase the value of the belt, there is one man Omega really wants to fight. That man is Antonio Honda. Honda was honoured to be chosen but turned down the match, claiming he is suffering from chronic love sickness. The good news is Honda knows the perfect guy to take his place, A.YAZAWA! That’s not all, the match will be a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match!

Team Dream Futures get a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles at this show. Both Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are looking forward to the match. Ishii has wanted to defeat HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano for months now but HARASHIMA’s recent injury put a stop to that plan. Now that HARASHIMA is back, Ishii gets his chance to destroy Ura-Shima-Kudo. Shigehiro Irie could be going into his home city as the KO-D Champion and is motivated to become a double champion. HARASHIMA feels he has become stronger from healing his injury and wants to crush the challengers.

Ultimate Superstars Action – USA! USA! USA!

February 5, 2013

USA “STARGATE 2013”, 28/03/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

From the mind of Hiroshi Fukdua comes DDT’s latest spin off, Ultimate Superstars Action. Fukuda has launched his own American wrestling federation and will debut it at the end of March. The idea with the date is to steal the thunder from some other major wrestling show that takes place in April. Fukuda is pulling off all the stops to make this a success. According to Fukuda, USA has been in talks with Bruce Willis to appear on the show. He also somehow got in contact with Mr. Perfect on Facebook. In fact, earlier today Perfect visited Fukuda’s parents for a meal and told him he needs to sign a wrestler from the Middle East. Fukuda will keep everyone up to date as we get closer to USA’s first show.
