UNION “SEA WRESTLING”, 23/08/2014
Kanagawa Ohama Beach Keio Camp Store
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kaori Yoneyama & Daichi Kazato defeated Cherry & Tomoya Kawamura when Kazato pinned Kawamura with a Sliding Seaweed Lariat (10:32).
2. 3 Way Falls Count Anywhere Match: Isami Kodaka & Mitomi Masayuki defeated Hiroshi FUKUDA & SAGAT and Shuji Ishikawa & Jinbeizameeen when Kodaka pinned SAGAT with the Diving Double Knee Drop into the sea (20:21).

Union’s trip to the beach was almost ruined thanks to rainy weather. The rain began as the wrestlers were placing down mats to wrestle on. In the first match Cherry and Kaori Yoneyama were fighting over the right to be crowned as the Union Mermaid. Daichi Kazato and Tomoya Kawamura were also involved to make it a tag team match. Beach balls and rubber rings were used as weapons and the match finished when Kazato wrapped his arm in seaweed and hit Kawamura with the Sliding Lariat. Kazato and Yoneyama dove into the water to celebrate.

The main event was a 3 Way Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team match. The teams were Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT, Shuji Ishikawa & former Okinawa Pro wrestler Jinbeizameeen (FUMA) and Isami Kodaka & Mitomi Masayuki. The rain was even worse for this match as everyone brawled in the water. Kodaka tried not to fight in the water because he had some fresh death match cuts on his body and he didn’t want them to be touched by sea water. SAGAT wound up being buried in the sand. A watermelon was brought into the match and Jinbeizameeen smashed it with a Diving Headbutt. Ishikawa put Masayuki through a plastic table with the Splash Mountain. The brawl found its way over to some rocks by the sea and several of the wrestlers were knocked off the rocks and into the water. Kodaka jumped off the rocks and landed a Diving Double Knee Drop onto both Fukuda and SAGAT in the water to win the match for his team. A barbecue was held by the wrestlers for the crowd after the show.

6. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Semi Final: Keisuke Ishii Vs Akito
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

With “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014” in the bag it is time to look ahead for DDT’s future. A mini tournament for DDT’s young wrestlers is going ahead to determine the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. The semi finals take place in Kasukabe Hall when Tetsuya Endo faces Konosuke Takeshita and Keisuke Ishii faces Akito. The two winners will take part in the final on 31st August in Shinjuku. The KO-D Title match will happen in Osaka on 13th September.

Ishii counts himself as the favourite. He is unbeaten against both Akito and Endo in singles matches. He has never faced Takeshita one on one. Regardless, Ishii is so confident he will win that he wonders why there is even a tournament to determine the next title challenger when it should be him. Takeshita felt he learned a lot from wrestling Hiroshi Tanahashi. He hopes to win the tournament so he can have the title match with HARASHIMA in front of his home town Osaka crowd.

HARASHIMA’s comments coming out of the Sumo Hall main event are about what you’d expect to hear from him. His opponents were strong, he was glad he was able to win and he wants to be the defending champion again at next year’s show.

For now the Golden☆Lovers’ main priority is to keep the KO-D Tag Team Titles around their waists. Kenny Omega said he has no choice but to win at any cost to keep his title with Kota Ibushi. They defend the belts against two thirds of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. The Drift duo of Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao challenged the Golden☆Lovers and it was accepted. With Ishii in the tournament and this title match happening soon, Drift are aiming to add the KO-D Openweight and Tag Team Titles to their collection. Kenny says he and Ibushi are an S-Rank team. Irie’s response is he and Takao are an A-Ranked team, then he got confused and corrected himself, calling him and Takao a T-Ranked team instead.

UNION “UNION SUMMER FESTIVAL 2014”, 31/08/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. UWA World Tag Team Titles: MEN’S Teioh & Hiroshi Fukuda (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
2. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Ladybeard (c) Vs Mio Shirai
3. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Former DDT wrestler Daichi Kakimoto is now with Union. Kakimoto wrestled in DDT from 2003 to 2008 when a cervical spine injury forced him into retirement. He returned to wrestling in 2012 and made sporadic appearances since then. He now wants to wrestle on a regular basis and signed with Union. He chose Union for two reasons. The first is Kakimoto being inspired by how much Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka have grown the last couple of years. The other reason is Union’s schedule is easy enough for his body and non-wrestling career to handle. Kakimoto also wants to re-debut under as a masked wrestler and will use a new ring name to represent how he is starting again from scratch. He hopes fans will not reveal his identity or update his Wikipedia page when he appears under the mask.

Union, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling WAVE and Ice Ribbon are getting together for a joint event next month.

The main event will be a 6-Person Tag Team Death Match. Shirai will be participating in her first ever Death Match along with Ice Ribbon’s Maki Narumiya. Union’s Isami Kodaka and Oz’s Mayumi Ozaki plus two more wrestlers. The type of Death Match and the teams will be decided on a later date.

When asked why she would compete in a Death Match, Shirai said she’s never done one in the 7 years she’s been wrestling. She’s done unusual matches that involved using weapons and wrestling in costumes but never a Death Match. Suggested matches for the rest of the card are Aja Kong Vs Jaiko Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi Vs Police, Tsukushi Vs Shuji Ishikawa (!?!?) and Sumire Natsu Vs Tsukushi.

UNION “SEE YOU AT KITASENJU” Results

July 19, 2014

sato-kazato

UNION “SEE YOU AT KITASENJU”, 19/07/2014
Kitasenju Theatre 1010
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. SAGAT, Menso~re Oyaji & Goro Jr. defeated Seiya Morohashi, Tomoya Kawamura & Ryu Gouma when SAGAT pinned Kawamura with the Gore Grind (10:17).
2. Ladybeard & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry & Mio Shirai when Ladybeard pinned Shirai with the Nut Cracker (7:08).
3. MEN’S Teioh defeated Mitomi Masayuki with the Spinning Toe Hold (10:49).
4. World Men’s Club Cup – FIFA Rules: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Choun-Shiryu with a Gedo Clutch (7:17).
5. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Shibata with the Running Kneelift (7:07).
6. Hikaru Sato defeated Daichi Kazato by Referee Stoppage after Kazato suffered a foot injury (6:36).
7. Isami Kodaka defeated FUMA with the Zan Isamu Leg (17:18).

Hikaru Sato sent a message to Shuji Ishikawa by intentionally injuring Daichi Kazato. Sato targeted Kazato’s left knee and had a bitter smile on his face while applying a Necklock. Kazato couldn’t continue and the ref stopped the match. Sato was still smiling as Kazato was helped out of the ring while holding his knee in agony.

Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Choun-Shiryu for the World Men’s Club Cup took place under the same rule set used by FIFA for their World Cup games. Handballs were illegal which meant both Fukuda and Shiryu were forced to wrestle with their hands tied behind their backs. Fukuda was able to pin Shiryu with the Gedo Clutch after some shenanigans involving the referee constantly fainting. After the match Fukuda swapped his baggy pants with Shiryu’s New Beijing T-shirt in accordance with the Fair Play rules but Shiryu kicked him and laid him out with the Gory Special Bomb.

Ladybeard pinned Mio Shirai, giving him momentum for their upcoming Fly To Everywhere Title Match on 31st August. Ladybeard was feeling positive about his performance and hopes he and Mio will both do their best. His way of wrestling is strong and he does not have the weaknesses Cherry has.

FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Mitomi Masayuki and Tomoya Kawamura will all compete at the DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014” show on 17th August.

Fukuda wants to take on the world and his challenge was quickly accepted by China’s Choun-Shiryu.

The journey to Hikaru Sato Vs Shuji Ishikawa is going to be long but there will be plenty of interactions between the two along the way. The two were on opposite sides of a tag team main event at today’s Union show. Sato was joined by Shibata, a Pancrase fighter who has been featured a lot in Ganbare☆Wrestling recently. Shibata wrestled the match while having a GoPro camera strapped to his chest. While Ishikawa did what he could he wound up on the losing team when his partner Daichi Kazato tapped out to Sato’s Ankle Hold.

Hiroshi Fukuda said it was the pinnacle of honour for him to be in Heijitsu Mask’s retirement match. The retirement ceremony revealed that Heijitsu Mask was born on Sunday 7th July, 1903. At the age of 15 he had his debut match in Kathmandu, Nepal and was undefeated for 401 matches.

After winning a match as a team, Mio Shirai challenged Ladybeard to a Fly To Everywhere Title match for 31st August. Ladybeard said he does not have the face of a girl but he is the strongest women’s wrestler in Japan. Mio said she will make Ladybeard’s fans cry.
