Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data were accompanied by their own valet to even the sides against the New Beijing group. At the moment all I know is she is named Veronica and she seems to be from North America. I’ll see if I can find out if she is a regular on the American indy scene.

New Union Matches, Yago Explains The SS Susan

March 25, 2011

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY”, 03/04/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Best Of The Super Junior Celebration: Ken Ohka Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa
2. Top 10 Idol Death Match: Cherry Vs Miyako Matsumoto Vs Tsukasa Fujimoto
3. Seiya Morohashi Vs Yoshiaki Yago
4. Tag Team Gauntlet: Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang (w/ Princess Makoto)
5. Sanshiro Takagi, Genichiro Tenryu & Shigehiro Irie Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Hiro Tsumaki

Cherry takes on two of the best women to come out of Ice Ribbon. Miyako Matsumoto and Tsukasa Fujimoto have both achieved the Triple Crown of titles to win in Ice Ribbon. Matsumoto just edges ahead for holding all titles simultaneously at one point. But if this does turn out to be some sort of hardcore match, Fujimoto has the advantage. You can thank Jun Kasai for that.

Yoshiaki Yago has posted a message on the DDT website explaining why he formed the SS Susan (or Susan Guard) with Kengo Ohka & Madoka. Yago has not been impressed by Union, finding it a promotion filled with unspectacular wrestlers who have no talent. He would get no benefit signing with the Union Sekigun as the sub-brand would only be “drifting the bottom of the world of professional wrestling” for the rest of time. He also laughs at Sanshiro Takagi’s attempts at running the TKG48 stable.

However, Yago has found a cause worth fighting for in Union. He has found someone who has recently struggled to be heard over the ruckus between Shuji Ishikawa’s side and TKG48. Her name is Naomi Susan, the woman in charge of Union outside of the ring. It seems that Yago has fallen for Naomi. He wants to cheer her up and make running Union easier for the pretty lady. So rounded up Kengo Mashimo Ohka and Madoka to form his own team and purge the “non-atheltes” from Union, punish his arch-rival Sanshiro Takagi and bring the “beautiful smile” back to Naomi’s face. Whether or not Naomi actually approves of this and is on their side is not known at the moment.

More DDT & Union Goodness in NJPW

March 23, 2011

The Golden Lovers have been added to the 3rd April New Japan show at Korakuen Hall. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega will be part of a tantalising Six Man Tag Team bout that could steal the show. Their exciting speed and teamwork is complimented by the Muscle Orchestra strength of Manabu Nakanashi. Will this combination be enough to defeat the Subconscious Strong Style of Shinsuke Nakamura and his CHAOS teammates Jado & Gedo?

NJPW “NEW DIMENSION ~PRAY, HOPE, POWER~”, 03/04/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Special 6 Man Tag Match: Manabu Nakanishi, Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Shinsuke Nakamura, Jado & Gedo

Meanwhile lesser established DDT and Union talent are getting ready to take part in NJPW’s NEVER tournament in April. The first round matches have been announced and the DDT/Union related matches are as follows:

NJPW “NEVER.6 ~ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT~”, 07/04/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Hiromu Takahashi Vs Keisuke Ishii
5. ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Madoka Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
7. ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Tsuyoshi Kikuchi Vs Ken Ohka

Remember, a New Japan staff member half-heartedly-sort-of-kind-of-but-not-really-although-you-never-know promised Ken Ohka that Union talent will be allowed to take part in the undercards of this year’s Best Of The Super Jr Tour. A string of wins and great performances from the wrestlers during this tournament could mean New Japan will hold their end of the bargain. If they do then I expect Ken Ohka’s part of the deal will be to never talk to the New Japan staff ever again.

Puro Aid, “JUDGEMENT 2011” Matches, Schedule Shuffle

March 16, 2011

Dramatic Dream Team has joined up with KAIENTAI DOJO, Big Japan Wrestling & FREEDOMS to help send aid and relief to the areas worst affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami disasters. They will also help out wrestling promotions Michinoku Pro and SENDAI GIRLS, which are both located in the badly damaged region. DDT and Union will accept aid and donations at the 27/3 Korakuen Hall show aswell as the 23/7, 6/3 & 6/4 events at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Everybody in DDT gives out their sincere sympathies to all of those who have been affected by the earthquake.

As of right now, DDT will still hold its 14th Anniversary show at Korakuen Hall on 27th March.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2011 ~DDT 14TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 27/03/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp’s Assassin
2. KO-D Openweight Title Challenge Right Fight +α Anytime and Anywhere Battle Royal: KUDO, Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Takao Soma Vs Super Shit Machine Vs Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs GENTARO Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi Vs Ken Ohka
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs Kota Ibushi

Danshoku Dino received a message from Bob Sapp during the week. I don’t think any attempt at giving a brief explanation of the message would do it justice, so here is the Google translation of the entire statement.

“Dear Japanese people, but Bob Sapp. Now, I hear that Japan is serious situation like my favorite, be worried about. And tell everyone I love in the first Japanese victims . And in July of this beast-like DDT out of the tournament the two countries, but show you the best fight. and I heard, saying that fighters like me and want to play is a gay boy Japanizu I do not. Give me a break. I fought like giants and many around the world. and have that show the Bisutopawa. No way I like it I like that person that gay boy. Now I’ll Dotakyan ! … I thought it would be business like I do in Japan. So what we have. In the world, like the head of my aim, and with a whole range fighters to fight me. So , the two countries before the convention in July, DDT and its fighters in the world of gay boy fighting or not fighting in the two countries do 勝Chi抜Itara July to the last man. I named “Bob game,” he . Bob Sapp can we fight this is the only one! DDT is really gay boy, you reach a point where I like? Good luck! Hahahahahaha!”

Bob Sapp isn’t convinced that Dino is the real deal. So Bob has sent an ‘Assassin’ over to DDT to test Dino’s abilities on 27th March.

DDT “NON-FIX 3.16”, 06/04/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Yesterday’s “NON-FIX” event that was supposed to take place in Shin-Kiba 1st RING has been postponed until 6th April. Tickets for the 16th March show are still valid for the event. Refunds for all of the currently scheduled shows are being offered to those who cannot attend any of them.

A Union That Actually Works

March 8, 2011

Yesterday’s results have been updated to correct some mistakes I made due to misunderstanding the translation. Turns out there was more to the 1990s Foreigner Battle Royal than just five Stan Hansens.

The Challenge Right Fight +α Anytime and Anywhere Battle Royal (quite the mouthful there) that will take place in Korakuen Hall on the 27th March will feature at least three Union wrestlers. Who they are has not been announced.

*V1 for Isami.

Yep, Isami Kodaka successfully defended the DDT Extreme Championship by using a special attack taken from Naruto. MIKAMI might be the next challenger for the belt.

TKG48 announced their latest recruit. Please welcome Member #17: Genichiro Tenryu! He will appear at the next Union show on 3rd April in Shinjuku FACE for a 6-Man Tag match. It will be Tenryu, Sanshiro Takagi & Shigehiro Irie Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Hiro Tsumaki. Takagi allowed Union to rent Kikuchi from TKG48 for the match. Kikuchi had no idea what Takagi was talking about. Tsumaki earns a spot in his biggest match yet after grabbing the upset win in Match #3.

DDT And Union In NEVER Tournament

March 5, 2011

Looks like Ken Ohka’s begging paid off. The NEVER brand from New Japan Pro Wrestling will be hosting a 16-Man Tournament on the 7th & 8th of April. Both DDT and Union will be represented in the tournament. DDT will enter Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata, both of whom have already wrestled in NEVER. Union will have Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga representing them. Other wrestlers involved here who also regularly appear in DDT and Union include Daisuke Sasaki, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi and Madoka. We are not far away from the annual Best Of The Super Juniors tournament and a great, breakout performance by any of these wrestlers could potentially pave the way for an invitation to take part in the competition.

Ohka OK, Then Not OK

February 26, 2011

Ken Ohka knows how to keep himself busy when it comes to promoting for Union. He showed up at yesterday’s NEVER.5 show at New Japan to sell tickets for the upcoming DDT and Union shows. He approached an NJPW staff member and passionately begged him for New Japan to use some Union wrestlers for their future shows. He also talked to the person about Tsuyoshi Kikuchi’s campaign to enter this year’s Best Of The Super Juniors tournament. Meanwhile, DDT and Union affiliated wrestlers were part of the NEVER show. Kazuki Hirata, Shigehiro Irie and Daisuke Sasaki all lost their matches but Madoka grabbed a win in the semi-main event.

NEVER.5, 24/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
350 Fans

1. Hiromu Takahashi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Fisherman’s Suplex (6:48).
3. Tomoaki Honma defeated Shigehiro Irie with a Crab Hold (9:37).
4. Ryusuke Taguchi defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Dodon (13:28).
6. Madoka defeated Taichi with a Crucific Hold (9:44).

That isn’t all that Ohka has been up to. He acts as Yoshiaki Yago’s spokesman in SMASH, speaking for him outside of the shows and standing at ringside during his matches. In the lead up to SMASH.14, TAJIRI asked Yago to help him out in dealing with the Triple Tails joshi group of Kana, Mio Shirai & Io Shirai in a 2 On 3 Handicap match. Ohka got himself involved to make it an even Six-Person Tag. Well, that turned out to be a mistake as Ohka lost the match for his team after Kana kicked him full force in the unmentionables and rolled him up for the pin.

SMASH.14, 25/02/2011
Shinjuku FACE
600 Fans

Kana, Mio Shirai & Io Shirai defeated TAJIRI, Yoshiaki Yago & Ken Ohka when Kana pinned Ohka with an Inside Cradle (8:47).
