1. Mio Shirai & Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Cherry & Hatsuhinode Kamen when Fujimoto pinned Kamen with the Venus Shoot (11:54).
2. 3 Way Match: Ryu Gouma defeated Hiroshi Fukuda and SAGAT when Gouma pinned SAGAT with the Six Law Codes Clutch (6:01).
3. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi 26th Anniversary Commemorative Match: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & FUMA defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Tomoya Kawamura when Kikuchi pinned Kawamura with the Fireball Bomb (14:17).
4. Hikaru Sato defeated Daichi Kazato with the Reverse Cross Armbreaker (10:41).
5. 6-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Isami Kodaka, Seiya Morohashi & Mitomi Masayuki defeated Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Fumihito Kihara (21:07).
5a. Ken Ohka eliminated Mitomi Masayuki with the Spear Of Fire (13:26).
5b. Seiya Morohashi eliminated Fumihito Kihara with a Cradle (16:07).
5c. Yumehito Imanari eliminated Seiya Morohashi by Ring Out (17:20).
5d. Isami Kodaka eliminated Ken Ohka by Ring Out (19:23).
5e. Isami Kodaka eliminated Yumehito Imanari with Zan Isamu Leg (21:07).

Isami Kodaka was the last man standing in the Union Vs Ganbare☆Wrestling Elimination match. Ganpuro were able to reduce the Union team down to just Kodaka but their advantage was ruined when Yumehito Imanari accidentaly eliminated his team mate Ken Ohka from the match with a badly timed Axe Bomber. Kodaka then kicked Imanari in the head to win the match. Kodaka then told Ohka he would face him anytime, even right there in Miyagi. But Ohka gathered his troops and left ringside defeated.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SENDAI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAN~”, 04/05/2014
Miyagi El Park Sendai

1. Tetsuya Endo Vs Guanchulo

3. MIKAMI & Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi & Yoshihiko
4. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs Danshoku Dino & Akito
5. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

After a chaotic victory on Tuesday, the Golden Lovers must defend their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again this weekend. Now they face the alcohol fueled power of Shuten-dōji.

Yoshihiko has made a full recovery from Tuesday’s show and very quickly returns to the action.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN AOMORI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUGARU SHAMISEN~”, 05/05/2014
Aomori Industrial Hall

1. 3 Way Match: MIKAMI Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Michael Nakazawa
2. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Antonio Honda Vs Soma Takao

5. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Guanchulo Vs Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki
6. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Konosuke Takeshita

With HARASHIMA claiming a Right To Challenge Contract and declaring he will cash it in against KUDO on 25th May, the two get to face against each other beforehand in a 6-Man Tag. I wonder what state of mind Yasu Urano will be in since he just cashed in his contract and lost to KUDO.

Yamagata Big Wing

The three remaining Right To Challenge Contracts are currently held by HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie & Super Sasadango Machine.

5. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Michael Nakazawa
6. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
7. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

Minoru Suzuki returns for a special match with Michael Nakazawa. It’s going to be pretty one sided.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. 4 Way Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs DJ Nira

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi

MMA fighter Kenichi Yamamoto returns to DDT after making after wrestling two matches for them last year. This time he teams up with Sanshiro Takagi.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2014”, 18/05/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Cherry & X Vs Ladybeard & Saki Akai
3. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
4. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Ken Ohka
5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

Shinichiro Tominaga now gets a role in the Union–Ganpuro war facing against Union’s current micro indie dynamo Mitomu Masayuki. Tominaga originally came to Union on a similar path but injuries brought an end to his time with the company and he never fulfilled his potential. Masayuki is now in his spot which could make the match personal.

DDT “ANTONIO HONDA BOX OFFICE ~DEKI-GOKORO~”, 01/06/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Bra And Submission Match: Antonio Honda Vs Norikazu Fujioka

Antonio Honda books his first match for his self-produced event and it is against DDT’s scrawny member of the production staff Norikazu Fujioka. They face off in a Bra And Submission Match where the aim is to either strip the opponent of their bra or make them submit.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN YOKOHAMA” Results

April 27, 2014

worldmensclub-uwatag

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN YOKOHAMA”, 27/04/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
288 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Seiya Morohashi & Ladybeard defeated Mio Shirai & SAGAT when Ladybeard pinned SAGAT with the Nut Cracker (9:41).
2. Idea Pocket Offer Match: Ryu Gouma & Daichi Kazato defeated Madoka & Tomoya Kawamura when Gouma pinned Kawamura after hitting him with a Statute Book (6:06).
3. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari by Referee Stoppage with a Knee Strike (7:50).
4. Ken Ohka defeated Cherry with the Spear Of Flame (6:55).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Mitomi Masayuki with the Zan Isamu Leg (12:27).
6. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh defeated HIROKI & Yasu Urano (c) when Teioh submitted Urano with the Spinning Toe Hold (17:21).
*HIROKI & Yasu Urano fail in V3. World Men’s Club become the 17th UWA World Tag Team Champions!
7. Hikaru Sato defeated FUMA with the V1 Armlock (18:54).

FUMA put up a good fight in the main event but fell to Hikaru Sato’s strong submission game. Sato taunted Union afterwards saying the company really is a resting place for a “premium toy” like himself. Isami Kodaka confronted him but not until after he shook hands with FUMA and gave him some words of encouragement, saying he saw power in FUMA. He then called out both Sato and Ganbare☆Wrestling for their recent treatment of Union. He cannot lose to them and let down the rest of the roster.

The UWA World Tag Team Titles changed hands with Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh winning the belts from HIROKI & Yasu Urano. Teioh took offence from Urano when he questioned his condition and said he was passed his peak. Teioh, who was recently hospitalised proved Urano wrong by submitting him with the Spinning Toe Hold. Both Fukuda and Teioh celebrated by doing the World Men’s Club pose with their new championships while the fans chanted “USA!”

The Union Vs Ganpuro war continued with both sides getting one win each on tonight’s show. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari with little effort, knocking him out with a Knee Strike. Ken Ohka then defeated Cherry in a bout that felt like a grudge match. However Ohka told Cherry after the match that they are alike. Ohka fights hard to make Ganbare☆Wrestling a major company while Cherry fights hard to prove a woman her age can make it as a wrestler. Ohka then challenged Ishikawa to make their final battle on 18th May a death match!

Iron Man Intensifies

April 23, 2014

DDT “MAX BUMP 2014”, 29/04/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Exhibition Match: Hoshitango & Gota Ihashi Vs DJ Nira & Shun Miyatake
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Sanshiro Takagi (c) Vs MIKAMI Vs Yasu Urano Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Soma Takao Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Snake Antonio Vs Toru Owashi Vs Super Sasadango Machine

6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Akito

Poison Sawada JULIE revealed his intentions to prevent Sanshiro Takagi from retiring the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. According to Sawada he possesses an ancient lighter from the Inca Empire which can be used to burn the championship belt. When burnt, a treasure map of Arica appears on the belt’s strap. If Takagi gets his way and retires the championship he will have the belt all to himself. Sawada does not want Takagi to discover the map and go after the ancient treasure so he travelled to an old hideout and searched for a certain item to help him. Even though the cave has become desolate over the years and many of his possessions are no longer kept there, he was able to find what he wanted. S Cells! These are potions that contain the power of Snake magic. Sawada then found Antonio Honda and used the S Cells to turn him into Snake Antonio! Now under Sawada’s spell, Antonio has been ordered to defeat Takagi at all costs and become the 1000th champion!

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 2”, 01/05/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Medical Death Match: Survival Tobita Vs Dr. Kiriko
2. Revenge Of The Tiger!: Fumihito Kihara Vs Kotaro Nasu

Two more names have been entered into the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament. Ganpuro regular Gorikiko enters representing Judo. Then there is the MMA competitor who is just going by the name of Shibata. Probably best not to get your hopes up thinking it is Katsuyori Shibata. I really doubt it’s him.

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

1. 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Ryu Gouma Vs SAGAT
2. Cherry & Hatsuhinode Kamen Vs Mio Shirai & Tsukasa Fujimoto

Miyagi El Park Sendai

1. Tetsuya Endo Vs Guanchulo
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

The team that wins the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship at Korakuen Hall will have little time to prepare for the next challengers. Shuten-dōji have already stepped up for a title shot.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN AOMORI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUGARU SHAMISEN~”, 05/05/2014
Aomori Industrial Hall

1. Antonio Honda Vs Soma Takao
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Tetsuya Endo
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Guanchulo Vs Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki

Antonio Honda’s placement on the cards is all assuming the snake magic will wear off by the time the shows take place and he will be back to normal by then…

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN YAMAGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON’NYAKU~”, 06/05/2014
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Kenny Omega Vs Guanchulo
2. HARASHIMA Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita

… Well, as normal as Honda can be.

DDT “SHINJUKU MAY 9TH DRAMA”, 09/05/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki
2. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

Sanshiro Takagi and his group have challenged the Golden Lovers to a Falls Count Anywhere match.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 11/05/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi

Shuten-dōji are aiming to take away all of the Golden Lovers’ championships. If everything goes his way, KUDO could find himself holding all three KO-D Championships at the same time. Now that would be a drink well earned.

Golden Union Plus Ganbare And Tokyo Joshi Pro Updates

April 21, 2014

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO CIRCUIT 2014 ROUND 4”, 26/04/2014
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Erin
2. KANNA Vs Ririko Kendo
3. Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki Vs Chikage Kiba & Shoko Nakajima

Looks like Tokyo Joshi Pro is going to build up to Nonoko Vs Chikage Kiba for their next big singles match.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN YOKOHAMA”, 27/04/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Idea Pocket Offer Match: Ryu Gouma & Daichi Kazato Vs Madoka & Tomoya Kawamura
2. Mio Shirai & SAGAT Vs Seiya Morohashi & Ladybeard
3. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yumehito Imanari
4. Cherry Vs Ken Ohka
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Mitomi Masayuki
6. FUMA Vs Hikaru Sato
7. UWA World Tag Team Titles: HIROKI & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Hiroki Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh

The Idea Pocket Divas for this month are Yu Namiki & Tsubasa Amami. The winning team in the match get a double date with the Divas. Ryu Gouma is a little uncomfortable with the stipulation, believing it is a human right violation.

FUMA is looking forward to fighting Hikaru Sato. He is annoyed with Sato treating Union as a rest stop and is looking forward to beating him.

The Union Vs Ganpuro war continues with two key matches happening on this show. Cherry destroyed Ganpuro’s Gorikiko in a violent Judo Jacket Match that had to be held away from the public for safety reasons. She is pissed and wants to remind everyone that Union is more than just Shuji Ishikawa and Naomi Susan. So she steps in to challenge Ken Ohka to a match that nobody should miss. Meanwhile Shuji Ishikawa defends Union against Ohka’s second in command, Yumehito Imanari.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 2”, 01/05/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Medical Death Match: Survival Tobita Vs Dr. Kiriko
2. Revenge Of The Tiger!: Fumihito Kihara Vs Kotaro Nasu

There are currently four entries in the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament: Ken Ohka (Wrestling), Glasses (Tae Kwon Do), Shota (American Wrestling) and Aki Shizuku (Amateur Wrestling). I think Glasses is Ladybeard’s friend who accompanied him when he fought as Richard Burn. Aki Shizuku is a joshi wrestler from REINA. She has amateur experience and was a runner up in the All Japan Student Championships.

6. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

MIKAMI faces TAKA Michinoku for the first time since 2005. TAKA brings with him the Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title which I’m surprised still exists. Oh well, if there is any company that enjoys bringing back obscure titles, it’s DDT.

Kitakyushu Palace

The Golden Lovers and Team Dream Futures will main event for the second time in just over a week. Will the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles be around the waists of the Lovers this time?

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

3. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Jun Akiyama & Yoshinobu Kanemaru (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

After weeks of stalking Jun Akiyama, Keisuke Ishii finally got what he wanted and that is one more shot at the All Asia Tag Team Titles.

Shunma Katsumata gets a proper debut match after impressing DDT officials with his exhibition bouts the last couple of weeks.

DDT “SAPPORO ONE MATCH SPECIAL ~WIND~”, 11/05/2014

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY CHAPTER 2” Results

April 11, 2014

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY CHAPTER 2”, 06/04/2014
Kitizawa Town Hall
200 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Union Pro: Daichi Kazato defeated Tomohiro Otani (w/ Shinichiro Tominaga) with a Swinging Complete Shot (4:21).
2. Survival! Take On The Enemy Of J-Soul Pandita III!: Dr. Kiriko defeated Survival Tobita with the Surgeon Slam (5:30).
3. Road To Rikidozan! Regardless Inherit The Virtuosity Of The Royal Road!: Yumehito Imanari & Fumihito Kihara defeated Crusher Takahashi & Osochin Aries when Imanari pinned Aries with the Samson Clutch (15:20).
4. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Union Pro – Judo Jacket Match: Cherry defeated Gorikiko with a Collar Choke (7:20).
5. You’ve Got Mail!: Miyako Matsumoto defeated Tigers Mask with Manmamiya Z (14:48).
6. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Union Pro – 6-Man Elimination Tag Match: Ken Ohka, Shota & Osamu Namiguchi defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi & Mitomi Masayuki (22:18).
6a. Mitomi Masayuki eliminated Shota with the SENNIN-GIRI (6:31).
6b. Osamu Namiguchi eliminated Mitomi Masayuki with the Lana Killer-N (7:20).
6c. Ken Ohka eliminated Shuji Ishikawa and Osamu Namiguchi by Ring Out (14:32).
6d. Ken Ohka eliminated Seiya Morohashi with the Spear Of Flame (22:18).

Ganbare☆Wrestling scored a huge victory over Union proving that they are a company to be taken seriously. Ken Ohka’s plan to bombard Osamu Namiguchi with messages uring him to join his team worked out as his nemesis joined the Ganpuro side in the 6-Man Tag Elimination main event. Ohka wound up as the last man standing, pinning Seiya Morohashi to win the match. Naomi Susan told him afterwards not to get carried away that Ganpuro beat Union once. She challenged Ohka to face Shuji Ishikawa in Union on 18th May to settle the feud.

Ohka announced the creation of the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament to be held on 1st May. He wants Ganpuro to be a major sports league not just for wrestling but for martial arts as well. Richard Burn showed up to apply for the tournament and said he would quit Union to fight here.

The Judo Jacket Match between Cherry and Gorikiko was going to be so violent that Ganpuro did not want to hold it in front of a live audience. When they could not find another building to host the bout it had to go to the TEC Office in Shinjuku for permission. The two women fought around the building and Cherry eventually choked out Gorikiko to win.

Dr. Kiriko defeated Survival Tobita and afterwards tried to murder him with the same injection he used to put down J-Soul Pandita III. However the injection did not work because Tobita is human and thus immune to the poison. Tobita swore he will become a doctor and figure out a way to defeat Kiriko.

6. Road To Rikidozan! Regardless Inherit The Virtuosity Of The Royal Road!: Yumehito Imanari & Fumihito Kihara Vs Crusher Takahashi & Osochin Aries

Ken Ohka has a plan to strengthen Ganbare☆Wrestling in their war with Union. That plan is to bring in his enemy Osamu Namiguchi! Problem is he doesn’t know where to find him. Ohka has gone as far as to publicly post Namiguchi’s phone and mobile numbers. He demanded his fans to contact Namiguchi and tell him to join Ganpuro’s side. He also requested anyone who knows his whereabouts to email Yumehito Imanari.

Immediately after revealing his email address, Imanari got a message from Tigers Mask asking for a booking. Joshi wrestler Miyako Matsumoto then suddenly appeared next to Imanari also asking to be booked. Believing this to be fate, Ohka made Tigers Mask Vs Miyamo Matsumoto for the show.

Dr. Kiriko is the mysterious person who put J-Soul Pandita III to sleep at “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!” in December. Survival Tobita has sworn revenge because he’s sure as Hell not going to start wrestling normal opponents.

Ladybeard swears that his mystery tag team partner is definitely a woman.

7. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Ivan Markov (c) with the Zan Isamu Leg (19:00).
*Ivan Markov fails in V2. Isami Kodaka becomes the 2nd Union MAX Champion!

The Union MAX Title is finally around the waist of a Union wrestler. Isami Kodaka had little time to recover from a successful BJW Death Match Title defence against Ryuji Ito to challenge for Union’s new championship held by the Russian Ivan Markov. The big turning point of the match was Kodaka countering a Super Power Bomb onto a stack of chairs outside the ring. Kodaka blocked the move and instead sent Markov into the chairs with a Hurricanrana. Isami won with the Isamu Zan Leg but offered a handshake to Markov after the match. He called Markov a strong wrestler who can go home to Russia proud of his performance. Markov shook his hand and afterward disbanded World Men’s Club.

Hikaru Sato stepped up to be the first challenger for Kodaka. He introduced himself as a Pancrase fighter who chose to rest in Union for a while. Kodaka took offence and told Sato Union is not a station so he should go somewhere else to rest. Kodaka accepted the challenge but FUMA then asked him why Sato got a shot so easily? Kodaka told him he will prove to Sato that Union is not a resting place.

Hikaru Sato’s entrance music tonight was “You Spin Me Round” by Dead Or Alive. Just wanted to point that out.

Cherry put away Mio Shirai to keep her Fly To Everywhere Title after weeks of bitchy comments between the two. Cherry told Mio that she was able to beat her because of how important the championship is. Ladybeard suddenly appeared after the match. He said he likes to wear women’s clothing so he wants to wrestle more with women in Union. He promises to bring a cute Japanese friend with him to wrestle at Union’s show in Korakuen Hall next month. He had to convince Naomi Susan that his friend really is a woman for her to consider his request.

Hiroshi Fukuda and HIROKI had a falling out over their 6-Man Tag loss to the Union Sekigun. Fukuda blamed HIROKI for not listening to a highly skilled wrestler such as himself. HIROKI in turn criticised Fukuda for cheating and told him he doesn’t understand wrestling. HIROKI brought in his UWA Tag Team Title and dared Fukuda to challenge for it. Fukuda said he would and brought in MEN’s Teioh to be his partner. HIROKI then introduced his partner and the title co-holder Yasu Urano! The title match was set for 27th April.

Ganbare☆Wrestling stepped up its attacks on Union with Ken Ohka leading his team to ambush Mitomi Masayuki in the opener. Seiya Morohashi & Daichi Kazato came to the rescue and the opening match ended in a double count out. The brawling between both sides continued so it turned into a 6-Man Tag No DQ match. The Ganbare team came out on top when Ohka pinned Kazato with the Spear Of Fire. Ohka then challenged Union to an Elimination Match in Kitizawa on 6th April and demanded Shuji Ishikawa to be included on Union’s team. Ishikawa accepted and another brawl broke out.
