Spring Union And Golden Union Cards

April 9, 2012

UNION “SPRING UNION DRAGONS!”, 15/04/2012
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. Cherry & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Cao Zhang & Princess Makoto
2. El Hijo del Goro & Goro Jr Vs Hida Kubota & Yasu Kubota
3. New Sanshiro Takagi & Big Rude Vs Mio Shirai & Taichi Kazato

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. New Sanshiro Takagi Vs New Keizo Matsuda
2. Handicap Match Of Love: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Rion Mizuki & Rumi Kazama
3. Age Contra Makeup: Cherry Vs Mio Shirai
4. DDT Extreme Title: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka

On his 35th birthday, Ken Ohka became the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Championship. The eternal underdog is now getting the rest of Union cheering him on when he goes up against Yuko Miyamoto. But all of Ohka’s momentum and enthusiasm might be dashed once Miyamoto announces what sort of match they will have for the DDT Extreme Title.

Cherry’s age is at risk of being revealed yet again. Mio Shirai is determined to have Cherry reveal her secret and has challenged her to a match over it. Cherry accepted but turned the tables by daring Mio to go out without makeup should she lose. This will be a match where the greatest stakes are on the line. Neither will want to lose.

Hiroshi Fukuda’s relationship problems continue to get worse. Not only did Rumi Kazama ditch him for Rion Mizuki, now Hiroshi has to face both of them in a Handicap match. Will his feelings for Rumi get in the way or will he be able to move on with his life and defeat Rion Mizuki.

Also taking part in this show are Hiro Tsumaki, El Generico and American wrestler Barking Spider Clutch (or Kurokumo Clutch as some Japanese sites call him).

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY 2012” Results

April 8, 2012

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY 2012”, 08/04/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
240 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka & SAGAT defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Macho Michaels when Madoka pinned Michaels with the Macho Splash (9:07).
1. Rion Mizuki (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Fisherman Suplex (8:02).
2. If Cherry Loses, Her Age Becomes Public – Continued: Cherry defeated GAMI with the Fantasy Illusion (8:31).
3. El Hijo del Goro & Goro Jr. defeated New Sanshiro Takagi & Taichi Kazato when Goro Jr. pinned Kazato with the Backfist (9:57).
4. Kengo Ohka & Mio Shirai defeated Choun-Shiryu & Princess Makoto when Ohka pinned Shiryu with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:51).
5. DDT Extreme Title Next Challenger Survival Match: Ken Ohka defeated Isami Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa, Ken Ohka, Big Rude, Shigehiro Irie and Cao Zhang.
5a. 6-Man Tag Team Match: Isami Kodaka, Big Rude & Ken Ohka defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Shigehiro Irie & Cao Zhang when Isami pinned Irie (17:54).
5b. 3 Way Elimination Match: Ken Ohka defeated Big Rude and Isami Kodaka (6:36).
– Ken Ohka eliminated Big Rude with a German Suplex (2:59).
– Ken Ohka eliminated Isami Kodaka with two Spears Of Fire (6:36).

Ken Ohka surprised everyone when he was the last man standing in the DDT Extreme Survivor Challenge. The challenge was split into two parts. It began as a Six Man Tag Team match. The winning team would then face each other in a 3 Way Elimination match. Shockingly, Ken Ohka was able to defeat both of his partners, Big Rude and Isami Kodaka to win the challenge and earn a shot at Yuko Miyamoto and the DDT Extreme Title. Shuji Ishikawa is putting his faith in Ohka and promises to build up support for him when he faces Miyamoto.

Princess Makoto and Mio Shirai were fighting over the non-existant Union Sexy Championship during their tag team match.

Goro Tsurumi made an appearance after his two sons made a successful Japanese debut. He called out GENTARO and had his two sons ambush him. GENTARO managed to escape when he escaped Tsurumi’s grasp and ducked a Backblow from Goro Jr.

GAMI told Cherry that her passport has been sent over to an Executive Director she knows. Unfortunately GAMI does not remember his name or address. Meanwhile, Cherry Vs Mio Shirai is set for “GOLDEN UNION 2012” in Korakuen Hall on 4th May. This time if Mio Shirai loses, she will have to make her next appearance without wearing any make-up. You know how some women look completely different without make-up? Yeah, this could potentially get nasty and ruin fantasies for some people.

Hiro Tsumaki will return to Union on 4th May.

DJ Anytime!, Union League Experiment

April 3, 2012

DDT “NON-FIX 4.8 SPECIAL”, 08/04/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

0. Dark Match: Gota Ihashi Vs Shota
1. DJ Nira Vs Antonio Honda

Tsurumi Amon will give some sort of response to the big announcements from last Sunday’s show. They will most likely be his predictions on what route DDT will take towards the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall this August.

DJ Nira now has the sole Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contract to cash in at any DDT produced show from now until the Budokan Hall show. After winning the KO-D Championship on Sunday, Masa Takanashi is the only wrestler to successfully cash in the contract since its inception.

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY 2012”, 08/04/2012

School Entrance Ceremony, Iron Man Tag Match

March 31, 2012

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY 2012”, 08/04/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka Vs X
1. If Cherry Loses, Her Age Becomes Public – Continued: Cherry Vs GAMI
2. Kengo Ohka & Mio Shirai Vs Choun-Shiryu & Princess Makoto
3. El Hijo del Goro & Goro Jr. Vs New Sanshiro Takagi & Taichi Kazato
4. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Rion Mizuki (w/ Rumi Kazama)
5. DDT Extreme Title Next Challenger Survival Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Ken Ohka Vs Big Rude Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Cao Zhang

Union has come up with a convoluted way to decide their first challenger for the new DDT Extreme Champion, Yuko Miyamoto. Six wrestlers will be randomly split into three teams. The three teams will then face each other in a 3 Way Tag Team match. The winning pair will then have to face each other to decide who will face Yuko Miyamoto for the title on 4th May.

Indie sleaze legend Goro Tsurumi will attend the show. He is also bringing two of his previously unknown sons to compete. Not much is known about them other than the countries they are from. El Hijo del Goro is from Mexico. Goro Jr. is Japanese but has spent the last few years living in Europe. An interesting note for those who don’t know, DDT General Manager Tsurumi Amon is Goro’s nephew. That explains Amon’s hairstyle and single fighting glove for anyone who wanted to know why he looked like that.

Disaster for Hiroshi Fukuda. First he gets dropped by his precious mentor Rumi Kazama for his lack of success in the ring. Now Rumi has sided with pretty boy Rion Mizuki for his upcoming rematch with Fukuda.

Match #2 will be Princess Makoto’s first match in Union as a wrestler. All of her previous appearances were as a valet to Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang.

UNION “SPRING UNION DRAGONS!”, 15/04/2012
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Konaka = Pale One
2. Iron Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie Vs Ken Ohka & Kengo Ohka

For the first time in its history, Union will be holding a 60 minute Iron Man Tag Team match. On one side you have BIG “G” BANG, a team that has been unstoppable since its formation. On the other side you have Team Ohka, who have only just recently began teaming together and even scored an upset victory in their first match as a duo. It was Ken Ohka’s idea to have the Iron Man match. Ishikawa doesn’t think it will be a close battle. In fact, Shuji thinks he and Shigehiro Irie can win the match 60-0. He then said they can get in contact with Guinness and set a world record for the highest score ever set in an Iron Man match.

BJW/UNION “BIG JAPAN X UNION MAY OR MAY NOT BE AT WAR” Results

March 29, 2012

BJW/UNION “BIG JAPAN X UNION MAY OR MAY NOT BE AT WAR”, 29/03/2012
Shinjuku FACE
329 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Cherry & Great Kojika defeated Mio Shirai & Takumi Tsukamoto when Cherry pinned Shirai with the Cherryton Bomb (8:11).
2. Give Courage To Men Suffering From Battle: Jaki Numazawa defeated Big Rude by making him say “Propia” (5:55).
3. Sanshiro Takagi Battle Royal: Big Buddy Sanshiro Takagi (Yuji Okabayashi) defeated Sanshiro Takagi X (Batten Tamagawa) with the Golem Splash (9:16)
Other Participants: Sanshiro Takagi, New Sanshiro Takagi, Secret Sanshiro Takagi (Mototsugu Shimizu) and Love Sanshiro Takagi (Abdullah Kobayashi).
4. Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Crab Hold (6:57).
5. Hardcore Tag Team Match: Ken Ohka & Kengo Ohka defeated Ryuji Ito & Kankuro Hoshino when Ken Ohka pinned Hoshino with the Spear Of The Flame onto a Ladder (12:22).
6. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu when Ishikawa pinned Shinobu with the Splash Mountain (12:17).
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the Swivel Fire Thunder (15:12).
*Isami Kodaka fails in V2. Yuko Miyamoto becomes the 18th DDT Extreme Champion!

Union and Big Japan Wrestling may or may not be at war with each other but their relationship has gotten to the point where a DDT championship is now in the hands of Big Japan. Yuko Miyamoto defeated his long time friend Isami Kodaka to win the DDT Extreme Championship in the main event of Union and BJW’s cross-promoted show in Shinjuku FACE. Both men fought in a Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match, the first time such a match took place in the building. There were no hard feelings after the match, after all Miyamoto & Kodaka currently hold the BJW Tag Team Championship together. In fact, after the match Miyamoto kept on saying how much fun he had at the show and he asked Naomi Susan if Union and Big Japan could hold more joint shows in the future. Susan spoke to Big Japan rep Eiji Tosaka after the show and admitted she was frustrated to see Union lose a championship to Big Japan. However, she also thought the joint show was an interesting experiment.

BIG “G” BANG built some momentum going into their seperate championship bouts next month by defeating a tag team that featured the winner of Big Japan’s recent Ikkitousen tournament. Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie continued their winning ways with a victory over Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu, a team that lives by the tagline “Good Friends, Better Enemies.” The action did not stop at the end when the bell rang and a brawl broke out between the two sides.

Look at the result for Match #5. Yes, you read that right. Ken Ohka won a Hardcore match against Big Japan death match wrestlers! It all happened when Kankuro Hoshino placed Ohka on top of a ladder and climbed up top for the Diving Senton. Ohka rolled out of the way and after Hoshino landed on top of the ladder, Ohka hit his patented Spear Of The Flame to get the three count. Ken now thinks that he and Kengo Ohka make for a natural tag team together.

If you think that Sanshiro Takagi does not appear in Union enough then the Sanshiro Takagi Battle Royal is just the match for you! There were not enough Sanshiro Takagi taking part in the Sanshiro Takagi Battle Royal, so one more Sanshiro Takagi was added to the line up. Big Buddy Sanshiro Takagi (Yuji Okabayashi) was the last Takagi standing, defeating the original Sanshiro Takagi and four other dopplegangers. The Secret Sanshiro Takagi was Mototsugu Shimizu. The Secret in that name stood for Secret Base, Shimizu’s home promotion.

Big Rude and Jaki Numazawa fought each other in an I Quit Match with a difference. Rather than forcing the opponent to say “I quit”, the aim of the match was for each wrestler to force his opponent to say their own sponsor’s name. Both Big Rude and Numazawa are spokesmen for seperate products and have sponsorships from the companies when they wrestle. Big Rude is sponsored by Svenson, a company that specialises in hair restoration products. Numazawa meanwhile is sponsored by Propia, who make shampoo, make up and, I’m not making this up, fake facial hair. Numazawa won the match when he placed Rude in a Camel Clutch and forced him to shout “Propia!”

The official show report on DDT’s website says the Great Kojika and Cherry “graced the opening match in the wisdom of age”. I bet Cherry will be offended when she reads that line.

Shuji Ishikawa Goes After Death Match Title

March 26, 2012

Union ace Shuji Ishikawa now has an important title match to look forward to, but this one is taking place outside of DDT and Union. The giant will be returning to Big Japan in May to face Abdullah Kobayashi for the BJW Death Match Championship in Yokohama. This will be the second time that Shuji challenges for the belt. He previously lost to Ryuji Ito in a Fluorescent Lighttubes, Glass Board & 49,205 Thumbtacks Death Match back in October 2010. However, Shuji defeated Abdullah Kobayashi one month earlier in the less impressive sounding 261 Fluorescent Lighttubes Death Match to earn that title shot. That match was the most recent singles bout between the two.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2012” Results

March 18, 2012

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2012”, 18/03/2012
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
302 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka defeated Taichi Kazato with a Boston Crab (8:17).
1. Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Rumi Kazama) defeated Rion Mizuki with a School Boy (7:30).
2. New Keizo Matsuda & Yoshiya Yamashita defeated New Sanshiro Takagi & Big Rude when Matsuda pinned Takagi with a Lariat (8:38).
3. If Cherry Loses, Her Real Age Becomes Public: Cherry defeated Mio Shirai with the Spring Night Love (7:34).
4. BEST OF THE SUPER Ohka: Kengo Ohka defeated Ken Ohka with the Shinken (17:14).
5. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Ishikawa pinned Sekine with the Splash Mountain onto the roses (19:39).

The 1,000 Roses Death Match contained many weapons that were covered in roses. They included a table, a ladder and two boards that were laid against opposite corners. Despite not sounding as dangerous as your typical death match, blood did flow from the wrestlers as they fought. After the match, Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka shook hands.

Cherry defeated Mio Shirai to prevent one of the greatest secrets in puroresu from being unveiled… her age. Cherry was forced to bring her passport to Shin-Kiba to use as proof of her age if she had to reveal it. The passport was kept in a safe backstage while Cherry fought the 24 year old Mio. When the match was over, the safe was given back to Cherry. But when she opened it, the passport was replaced by a hand written note. The note said “I have your passport. If you want it back, fight me. GAMI.” Cherry was upset that her passport was stolen. Not only is her age at risk from being made public, but Cherry now cannot travel overseas. She accepted GAMI’s challenge and thanked the fans for supporting her.

New Sanshiro Takagi and New Keizo Matsuda will face each other in a singles match at Union’s return to Korakuen Hall on 4th May. El Generico will also return on that show.

Hiroshi Fukuda’s promise to win his match with the Perfect Plex did not happen. He had to take a spray can from ringside and strike Rion Mizuki over the head with it and then roll him over with a School Boy to get his hand raised. Fukuda’s mentor Rumi Kazama was not pleased with his performance and she gave him a Buzzsaw Kick as punishment. Kazama stormed off backstage and left Fukuda crying in the ring.

Union’s relationship with New Beijing Pro Wrestling is coming back to life. Choun-Shiryu, Cao Zhang and Princess Makoto will all return on Union’s 8th April event in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
