*Crying Wolf fail in V3. KUDO & Makoto Oishi become the 44th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

Homoiro Clover Z has good reasons to celebrate tonight because KUDO & Makoto Oishi are the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! It was a big task made even tougher when Yuji Hino & Yasu Urano attacked the challengers during a handshake at the beginning of the match. But the tactic to focus on Urano and get Hino out of the match for as long as possible worked out in the end. The new champions said they now have a golden ticket for Budokan Hall and they hope Kota Ibushi will be joining them. Both Urano & Hino refused to give any comments to the press after the match.

DDT prepared a crack team of wrestlers to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from the recent string of women wrestlers. Unfortunately Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki were busy wrestling in New Japan. So DDT had to make do with Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira instead. Tsukasa Fujimoto eliminated all three of them in a Battle Royal to keep the championship. Afterwards Fujimoto said that she heard that whoever holds this belt will be guaranteed to wrestle inside Budokan Hall soon. She is not afraid of anyone who will attack her while she is walking down a street in the middle of the night just to get the belt. She will continue to hold the belt and will soon represent Ice Ribbon in Budokan Hall. Later on in the show, Matsunaga ambushed Fujimoto to try and win the belt. However, Fujimoto avoided getting pinned and ran away safely.

Sanshiro Takagi Vs Daishi began with the injured Mitsuhiro Yoshida admitting that he wasn’t injured at all. He tricked Takagi into having a match with Daishi, who had wanted to fight the DDT president at his own game. The match spread out of the ring and even out of the building to a playground outside the building. Takagi eventually won the match and he shook hands with Daishi. He also tricked Yoshida and gave him a Stunner when he reached out to shake his hand.

1. Big Rude Vs Taichi Kazato

Given the recent revelation, Cherry is now proud of that idea and hopes it will encourage other people from her generation to achieve their dreams.

14K comes from the Mobius promotion and has been added to the card thanks to a recommendation by Masao Orihara.


Iron Man Goes Bananas

June 13, 2012

Another day, another Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change. Continuing the current path around the joshi circuit, the belt will now be travelling towards Ice Ribbon as their current ace Tsukasa Fujimoto won the belt from Hiroyo Matsumoto at the end of today’s show. The title change happened when Matsumoto slipped on a banana peel and Fujimoto capitalised on her moment of weakness. Matsumoto became champion a few days ago when she defeated Mio Shirai over in Oz Academy. If DDT wants the title back (and judging from previous incidents the answer to that is maybe) this could be their best chance now the belt is in Ice Ribbon since wrestlers like Masa Takanashi compete there on a regular basis. Or they could just wait for the champion to defend the belt in Korakuen Hall on 24th June. Whichever comes first. No word on whether or not the banana will join the title chase.

The feud between the GM Army led by Tsurumi Amon against New World Japan has seen Sanshiro Takagi bring in a powerful figure to help him out. Katsuji Nagashima, formerly an executive of New Japan and World Japan, is now a backer for the nWJ and his influence will be seen when the mysterious fourth wrestler of the nWJ team will be revealed. That’s not to say Tsurumi Amon has something up his sleeve with his own mystery wrestler also set to compete.

Is Mr. #6 the newest member of the nWJ? Will this make the group even more dangerous than before? Will DJ Nira Rocket Punch somebody? Chances are the answers to all of these questions is yes.

DDT “ANGRY PE GOOD PE IN IBARAKI”, 16/06/2012
Ushiku Athletic Park Gymnasium

1. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Mitsuhiro Yoshida

Kota Ibushi will not be at the Ushiku show. Instead he will be wrestling for New Japan’s “DOMINION” PPV in Osaka. His match for that show will be announced by New Japan soon.

Freelancer Mitsuhiro Yoshida comes back for his first match in DDT since December.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2012”, 24/06/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie
2. KUDO, Makoto Oishi & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Masa Takanashi, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Kota Ibushi

You can argue about whether or not it is too early for Ibushi to get a title shot but if anyone has a chance to dethrone Yuji Hino, it’s him. That’s easier said than done though. Hino already pinned Ibushi during their KO-D Tag Team Title match earlier this month. With Budokan Hall on the horizon, this could go either way.
