Yasu Urano Strikes It Big In K-DOJO

November 10, 2010

Yasu Urano won some gold over in his old stomping ground of K-DOJO today, winning the UWA Middleweight Championship from Kaji Tomato in the main event of the promotion’s Shin-Kiba 1st RING show. This is Urano’s second reign as champion, his first run taking place in May 2003. This title win comes after his run in the NOAH NTV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League, where Yasu & Dick Togo missed out on qualifying for the semi-finals.

Results Round Up

October 18, 2010

There was some DDT involvement in several wrestling promotions during the weekend.

NOAH “AUTUMN NAVIGATION 2010 ~ 4TH NTV CUP JR. HEAVYWEIGHT TAG LEAGUE”, 15/10/2010
Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji
1,300 Fans – Super No Vacancy

NTV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League – Block B: Dick Togo & Yasu Urano [2] besiegen Yoshinari Ogawa & Kotaro Suzuki [0] when Urano pinned Ogawa with the Backdrop Cutback-Cradle (12:24).

The main one took place over in Pro Wrestling NOAH where Dick Togo & Yasu Urano are teaming up for the NTV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League. They are already off to a good start with Urano using his new Backdrop Cutback-Cradle finisher to pin Yoshinari Ogawa to win their first match and top their group.

ZERO1/Ikuto Hidaka, Kohei Sato & KAMIKAZE Produce “DRUNK NIGHT”, 15/10/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Regional Heavyweight Title, 4 Way Decision Match: Tengu Kaiser defeated I Am Fuck´n Goddam Chono (Sanshiro Takagi), Minoru Fujita & Lingerie Muto when Kaiser pinned Muto with a Small Package (8:42).

Meanwhile over in ZERO1, Sanshiro Takagi morphed into his Masahiro Chono inspired alter ego, I Am Fuck´n Goddam Chono to take part in an odd 4 Way match for the Regional Heavyweight Title. Also in the match was Lingerie Muto, aka Munenori Sawa, who was eventually pinned to lose the match.

BJW “BJ SPIKEOUT SERIES”, 17/10/2010
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,576 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title, Fluorescent Lighttubes, Glass Board & 49,205 Thumbtacks Death Match: Ryuji Ito (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa with the Dragon Splash through Lighttubes (20:13).
*V2 for Ito.

Finally, the UNION side was in Big Japan for Shuji Ishikawa challenging Ryuji Ito for the BJW Deathmatch Title. Ito came out on top in what was surely a violent match.

Note: Normally I won’t be reporting on Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka wrestling in Big Japan unless it turns out to be a really important match such as this.

New Year’s Indy Party Announced, UNION In Big Japan, Cherry Picking

October 2, 2010

The indy collection of DDT, Big Japan, K-DOJO, FREEDOMS and Ice Ribbon will get together this New Year’s Eve for a major show at Korakuen Hall that will count down to 2011. If it is anything like last year, expect each promotion to present its own match and the main event to be a giant Royal Rumble. Can it be as big as last year’s 108 Man Battle Royal? We have to wait and see.

Shuji Ishikawa has the chance to bring home some gold to UNION. He will be at Big Japan to take on Ryuji Ito for the BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title and possibly strike a vengeful blow to BJW. Last year when Shuji Ishikawa was the K-OD Champion, he often defended it in UNION. Big Japan’s Daisuke Sekimoto beat Shuji in his own promotion to become champion and reign over DDT. Now Ishikawa can give Big Japan a taste of its own medicine and bring its top title home to UNION.

Speaking of Big Japan, DDT’s Yasu Urano and UNION’s Hiroo Tsumaki will be on their next Dainichi Dash event in Yokohama on 16th October. Tsumaki will team up with Ryuichi Kawakami to take on Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu. Urano will be in the main event against Yuji Okabayashi (or Sekimoto 2.0 as I sometimes refer to him as). This will keep Urano on his toes before he and Dick Togo enter the NTV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League over in NOAH later this month.

Cherry is on the lookout for women with martial arts training who want to become pro wrestlers. She also now has her own Ustream page at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cherrypafe55

Sapporo Card, Golden Lovers Vs Apollo 55, Togo & Urano To NOAH, Ohka In SMASH

September 28, 2010

DDT “SAPPORO PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL”
10/10/2010
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Nunchucks & Nunchucks Board Death Match: Hiroki Vs Chiharu
2. Antonio Honda Vs Tomoya
3. Dick Togo & GENTARO Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Takao Soma
4. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs DJ Nira
5. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Futoshi Miwa Vs Sanshiro Takagi, KUDO & Yukihiro Abe
6. HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi Vs Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato
7. KO-D Tag Team Title: Shiro Koshinaka & Danshoku Dino (c) Vs MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba

It’s official, the Golden Lovers will take on Apollo 55 for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles over in New Japan. The match I have been waiting for the entire year will finally take place in Sumo Hall for NJPW’s “DESTRUCTION ‘10” card in October. This match pits the two top Jr Heavyweight teams in Japan today and the four men have crossed paths several times over the last two years. Prince Devitt and Kota Ibushi fought each other three times with Devitt leading 2-1 in that series of matches. Ryusuke Taguchi also beat Ibushi back in the 2009 Best Of The Super Juniors. Devitt recently beat Kenny Omega in a recent IWGP Jr. Title defence but Omega has been undefeated against Taguchi.

DDT will be represented in NOAH’s upcoming NTV Cup Jr. Tag League. Dick Togo & Yasu Urano have been paired together for the tournament.

Ken Ohka made an appearance at SMASH.8 to say he will be wrestling there soon. Akira Shoji confronted him during the show, possibly to set up a match between the two in the future.
