???????????????????????????????

UNION “MARCH OF UNION 2015”, 28/03/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall
200 Fans

1. Mitomi Masayuki Comeback: Seiya Morohashi & Tomoya Kawamura defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Daisuke Kanehira when Morohashi submitted Masayuki with a Facelock (10:03).
2. Mio Shirai & Aoi Ishibashi defeated Ryu Gouma & Ladybeard when Ishibashi pinned Gouma with the Star Biscuit (8:19).
3. Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Small Package (7:06).
4. Isami Kodaka defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Diving Double Knee Drop (12:24).
5. Yuki Sato defeated Yuuya Kubo with the Miracle Rod (10:39).
6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry defeated Shu Shibutani with the Spring Night Love (8:03).
*V1 for Cherry.
7. FUMA, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT (w/ MEN’S Teioh) defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Daichi Kazato when FUMA pinned Kazato with the Diving Headbutt (22:43).

FUMA’s new unit has been given a name. He now leads the King Legion because each wrestler is the “king” of something specific. FUMA is the King of Omnipotence, Kazushi Miyamoto is the King of Power, MEN’S Teioh is the King of Intelligence and SAGAT is the King of Love.

King Legion were successful over Union Sekigun in the main event. Daichi Kazato was left in a bloody mess after being targeted for much of the match. An angry Shuji Ishikawa tried to get his hands on FUMA after the match. FUMA decided his Union MAX Title match against Ishikawa in Korakuen Hall next month will be a 1,000 Rose Deathmatch! He will prove his overwhelming strength once and for all.

Despite coming up short, Shu Shibutani tearfully thanked Cherry for giving her a shot at the Fly To Everywhere Title before she retires in May. Aoi Ishibashi challenged Cherry for a shot but the champion wanted to defend the title against someone from overseas. Naomi Susan decided the Fly To Everywhere Title will be defended in a 3 Way Match on 24/9. Cherry and Ishibashi are involved and Union will look for a foreign wrestler to fill up the last spot.

Yuki Sato used some dirty tactics to beat Yuuya Kubo. When the referee was knocked out, a bamboo stick came into play and was fought over by the two wrestlers. When Kubo got it, Sato grabbed the ref and used him as a shield. Kubo stopped himself from hitting the ref but Sato grabbed the stick and used it to beat Kubo senseless before pinning him.

Isami Kodaka called Yukio Sakaguchi into the ring after his victory over Ryota Nakatsu. Kodaka and Sakaguchi will have a match together on 29th April. Sakaguchi said he was told the match was going to be fun but he thinks he will do something terrible to Kodaka, like kill him. Kodaka said he is prepared and that it will be a fun match for himself at least.

Madoka continued his advances towards Harumi Tachibana. This time he had a marriage contract ready for when she accepts his proposal. However Hiroshi Fukuda would suddenly proposed to Tachibana too! The two men fought each other over Tachibana and would take breaks in an attempt to woo her. Fukuda called Tachibana his Jasmine and sang the chorus to Beauty & The Beast. Madoka convinced Tachibana to help him and she put Fukuda in a Cobra Twist. She then slapped Fukuda and Madoka rolled him up with a Small Package for the win. Madoka eargly told Tachibana to go register their marriage but she refused. Fukuda asked if that means he can marry her. She said no. But she still wants to stay with Madoka. Madoka asked if that meant they could still get married someday in the future? She said yes. That’s good enough for Madoka!

Before the second match began, Ryu Gouma called Mio Shirai “amazingly stupid”, calling back to their December match when Mio was given a quiz and she got every answer wrong. Gouma complimented his tag partner Ladybeard for being a master of Japanese proverbs which he proved there and then. Gouma challenged Shirai & Aoi Ishibashi to a quiz while they wrestled. He seemed to get more powerful for every question the women got wrong. However he soon resorted to cheating when he grabbed his statute book. Shirai grabbed it off him and Ishibashi took advantage of the distraction to pin the lawyer.

Ibushi Prepares For Yoshihiko & AJ Styles, Mitomi Masayuki Comeback

March 18, 2015

Kota Ibushi’s run in New Japan just keeps getting better. After winning the New Japan Cup last weekend he now has an IWGP Title against AJ Styles match at Sumo Hall on 5th April. If Ibushi beats Yoshihiko this Saturday then the New Japan main event is guaranteed to be IWGP Champion Vs KO-D Champion, a first for New Japan and DDT’s relationship.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Tomoya & Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
3. Teletama Presents Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & MIKAMI Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Do It Or Die! – Special Single Match: Aja Kong (c) Vs Saki Akai
5. Eat Or Be Eaten! – Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Tetsuya Endo
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

So DDT has put up a fact sheet and list of career highlights for Yoshihiko before his KO-D Title match with Ibushi. Apparently Kurt Angle gave plenty of praise when he saw footage of Yoshihiko attacking Ibushi and laying down the challenge. When Ric Flair watched the same clip he just said “This is wrestling!” Also of note is Yoshihiko feels strongly about getting the 5th April IWGP Title shot if he beats Ibushi.

UNION “MARCH OF UNION 2015”, 28/03/2015

6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry Vs Shu Shibutani
7. FUMA, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT (w/ MEN’S Teioh) Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Daichi Kazato

Mitomi Masayuki is back after going through a bad period last December. He was suspended from Union and DDT for bad behaviour on Twitter and then got himself injured while wrestling on a micro indie show a week later. He will be teaming with Daisuke Kanehira from Pro Wrestling HEAT-UP for his comeback.

This will be the first Tokyo Joshi show without any live idol performances inbetween matches. With their roster getting bigger they can now have more matches to fill up the card.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

3. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry Vs Shu Shibutani
4. FUMA, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT (w/ MEN’S Teioh) Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Daichi Kazato

Shuji Ishikawa wants his Union MAX Title bout against FUMA on 29th April to be a No DQ match. FUMA won’t agree to it but Ishikawa hopes to change his mind in Yokohama.

Shu Shibutani is hoping to win the Fly To Everywhere Title just over a month before she retires from pro wrestling. The new champion Cherry wants to protect her belt at any cost and does not want to lose it to somebody who is on the verge of retirement.

Hiroshi Fukuda has bulked up and gained some weight while he was recovering from his injury. He wants to put his body to the test with a match against Madoka but Naomi Susan is convinced Fukuda just wants to get near Harumi Tachibana.

Right To Challenge Returns

March 9, 2015

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

Saki Akai gets one more good shot at regaining the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Aja Kong. That is if Kong is still the champion.

The winning team in the dark match will qualify for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal on 29/3.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2015”, 29/03/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
1. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango Vs MIKAMI & Shunma Katsumata
2. Sanshiro Takagi 20th Anniversary Falls Count Anywhere Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake
3. Next KO-D Tag Team Titles Challenger Final: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi
4. Next KO-D Openweight Title Challenger And Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs X Vs X
5. DDT Extreme Title: X (c) Vs Akito
*X is Shiori Asahi.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine

The time has come for my favourite DDT match to take place again. The Right To Challenge Battle Royal is a combined Royal Rumble and Ladder Match. The winner of the Rumble portion becomes the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. However there are usually extra prizes hanging over the ring which is where the ladder comes in. In recent years the prize has been Money In The Bank style contracts that allow the holder to get a title match at any show they want. However there are also extra stipulations used to keep the contract holder on his toes. For example, last year the contract could change hands like a title if the holder was directly defeated in any match he wrestled in. The rules change or get altered every year so we won’t know for sure what the prizes and conditions are until right after the match.

The Drift Vs Shuten-dōji feud has extended itself into the regular tag team division. The two sides will collide again with a future KO-D Tag Team Title shot on the line.

Sanshiro Takagi will celebrate 20 years in wrestling with a good old fashion Falls Count Anywhere Match.

I think this is the first time anywhere a champion has been labelled as X.

2. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga

Yukio Sakaguchi will also be in action.

UNION “YUMI NIMO MAKEZU 2015” Results

January 24, 2015

teioh-runs-wild

UNION “YUMI NIMO MAKEZU 2015”, 24/01/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall
246 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Goro Jr. & Ryota Nakatsu defeated SAGAT & Tomoya Kawamura when Goro pinned SAGAT with the Goro Suplex (10:51).
2. Ladybeard & Riho defeated Cherry & Emi Sakura when Ladybeard pinned Cherry with a Crosscut Spring Night Love (7:01).
3. Modoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) defeated Daichi Kazato with the Ranhyei (10:53).
4. “Mr. Perfect” Hiroshi Fukuda Comeback & Kazushi‘s GYM Bodybuilding Circle Reunion Memorial Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’S Teioh Vs Kazushi Miyamoto & Seiya Morohashi ended in a No Contest (12:04).
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Mio Shirai (c) defeated Aoi Ishibashi with the Egukeri (10:12).
*V2 for Mio Shirai.
6. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata ended in a No Contest when MEN’S Teioh & Kazushi Miyamoto interfered (18:15).
*V3 for Isami Kodaka & FUMA.
6a. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) when Ishikawa pinned FUMA with the Splash Mountain (5:54).
*Isami Kodaka & FUMA fail in V4. Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata become the 20th UWA World Tag Team Champions!

All the attention in Union is now on MEN’S Teioh and Kazushi Miyamoto. The two men both betrayed their tag team partners and joined forces. Teioh was teaming with Hiroshi Fukuda in what was Fukuda’s return to Union after injury. Miyamoto was teaming with Seiya Morohashi, a partnership formed by their love of gym workouts. However they weren’t on the same page in the match and at one point collided with a double Clothesline that missed its intended target. Fukuda was about to give Morohashi the Perfect Plex when all of a sudden Teioh whacked him with a chair! The rest of the Union roster came to the rescue and chased Teioh away.

But Teioh made his presence felt again in the main event, this time with Miyamoto with him. The UWA World Tag Team Titles were on the line, Isami Kodaka & FUMA versus Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata. In the dying moments of the match Teioh & Miyamoto ran in with steel chairs and attacked everyone. The match was called a No Contest (but is still officially a successful title defence) and Teioh gave some parting words before leaving.

The UWA Tag Title match was restarted and everyone went full throttle. Ishikawa caught FUMA’s kicks and hit him with Headbutt after Headbutt. One Splash Mountain later and we have new champions! Ishikawa said he was going to eat more and wants everybody to become even stronger.

Madoka’s infatuation with AV idol Harumi Tachibana went up to another level today. He proposed to her! Harumi immediately turned him down. Madoka was in denial and said he would give her time to think about it while he wrestled Daichi Kazato. Afterwards Harumi told him he was being unreasonable but Madoka said he will not give up!

Ryu Gouma is suffering from a vomiting bug and was pulled from the show. Emi Sakura took his place in Match #2.

Union will bring back the Get The Glory! tournament next month. The first tournament was held in October 2013 and was won by Shuji Ishikawa. This year the tournament will be take place in two shows on 22nd February. This time twelve wrestlers will enter.

Sasadango Vs Sakuraba: Once In A Lunchtime! King Of Dark Title

January 20, 2015

UNION “YUMI NIMO MAKEZU 2015”, 24/01/2015

1. SAGAT & Tomoya Kawamura Vs Goro Jr. & Ryota Nakatsu
2. Ladybeard & Riho Vs Cherry & Ryu Gouma
3. Modoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) Vs Daichi Kazato

6. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata

Shuji Ishikawa has chosen U-File Camp fighter Masato Shibata as his partner for the UWA World Tag Team Title match. Ishikawa said there are now less big guys in wrestling than there used to be and what’s better in pro wrestling than big guys colliding into each other? So he has picked someone similar in size to himself to be his teammate.

Mio Shirai admitted she doesn’t know a lot about her next challenger Aoi Ishibashi. However, overcoming the odds is what a champion does so Shirai is willing to take the risk of not studying Ishibashi before their match.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS 2015”, 25/01/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Road To Iron Man Battle Royal: Yasu Urano Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Soma Takao Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Saki Akai Vs Bernard Ackah

6. Just Before Saitama Super Arena – Super Special 6 Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi
7. DDT Extreme Title – No Rope Escape Match: Akito (c) Vs Makoto Oishi

Akito’s reign of technical wrestling over the DDT Extreme Title now brings him into a match where rope escapes are not in effect. He and Makoto Oishi will have to rely on other means to avoid submission holds. Or maybe they both have a few moves up their sleeve that would benefit from rope usage.

8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi
9. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kota Ibushi

Super Sasadango Machine’s opponent for Saitama Super Arena (the Community Arena, not the giant stadium) is none other than Kazushi Sakuraba! Sasadango’s only knew beforehand that he was getting a “super-heavyweight” opponent. Both men are said to be enthusiastic about the match.

Details have emerged for DDT’s newest… championship? Accomplishment? Reward? Whatever it is, the King Of Dark Title is only defended in dark matches and the first champion will either be Gota Ihashi or DJ Nira. However, the first champion will be whoever loses the match. For you see, the King of Dark is forced to wrestle only in dark matches until they win. Victories by the champion is what causes title changes so I assume defeats count as title defences. It is the championship nobody wants unless you want to wrestle early!

UNION “UNION 9TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE” Results

November 3, 2014

sato-fuma

UNION “UNION 9TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 03/11/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
217 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Ladybeard defeated Ryu Gouma with the Women’s Liberation (2:34).
2. Seiya Morohashi & Gabaiji-chan defeated Cherry & Meari Naito when Gabaiji-chan pinned Cherry with the Gabai Bomb (10:09).
3. Kazushi Miyamoto defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Lariat (4:08).
4. Goro Jr. defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a British Submission (16:01).
5. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Mio Shirai with the Splash Mountain (6:46).
6. MEN’S Teioh & Madoka (w/ Hiroshi Fukuda) defeated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Madoka pinned SAGAT with the Ranhei (11:57).
7. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) defeated Hikaru Sato & Shibata when FUMA pinned Sato with an Armbar Cutback (18:26).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka & FUMA.

The UWA World Tag Team Champions successfully defended their title with a surprising finish when FUMA pinned the Union MAX Champion, Hikaru Sato. Sato’s partner Shibata fought with his GoPro camera strapped to him as always but this time he used it as a weapon. It eventually backfired when he swung it at FUMA but wound up hitting Sato instead. Sato almost stole the win when he was given a German Suplex by FUMA but recovered quick enough to lock on an Armbar. But FUMA rolled on top of Sato and pinned him while still in the submission hold. Sato attacked FUMA after the bell but he was chased away by Daichi Kazato and SAGAT. FUMA told Sato that he was a champion and his title is not an amateur belt. He then threw out a challenge for the Union MAX Title. Naomi Susan confirmed the match will happen on 17th December. FUMA then said he hopes Union will begin its tenth year with him as the champion.

Hiroshi Fukuda gave a lot of praise to MEN’S Teioh & Madoka for their victory over Daichi Kazato & SAGAT. Fukuda said their combination of technique and speed made them the best tag team around and they should reform the Men’s Club. Madoka rejected the idea and wanted to talk to Naomi Susan. Madoka was upset at Union because they no longer do any Aipoke Presents matches! The only reason he is in Union is so he can wrestle for the Idea Pocket idols that used to appear on the show. According to him, the Aipoke matches were the pinnacle of Union. Susan said it is impossible to bring it back because their relationship with the company ended months ago. Madoka stormed off and said he will bring Idea Pocket back himself if he has to!

Kazushi Miyamoto recently announced he will retire at the end of the year. But he still had time to wrestle in Union before he left. He had plenty of advice to give Tomoya Kawamura after their match. He said Tomoya should eat plenty of rice and gain plenty of protein every day. He then bonded with Seiya Morohashi over their bodies and they decided to team up. They already have a team name. They are called Kazushi’s GYM Bodybuilding Circle.

A minute of silence was given at the beginning of the show for Koichiro Kimura.

Ladybeard’s new finisher called the Women’s Liberation is a Spin Kick.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA FIRST CHARGE!” Results

November 3, 2014

yamashita-kanna

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOKOHAMA FIRST CHARGE!”, 03/11/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
206 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Akane Miura defeated Erin with the Bankyuppan (3:59).
2. Chikage Kiba defeated Yuka Sakazaki with a School Boy (5:58).
3. Nonoko defeated Ai Shimizu with the Oppai Ye (7:14).
4. Saki Akai defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Face Kick (6:30).
5. Miyu Yamashita defeated KANNA with the Crash Rabbit Heat (6:17).

In a rematch from the very first Tokyo Joshi Pro main event, Miyu Yamashita once again defeated KANNA. While Yamashita did her victory dance, KANNA was reduced to tears from losing to her again. Yamashita thanked KANNA and encouraged her to work hard so they can both be loved by the fans and make Tokyo Joshi a bigger place. Nonoko interrupted Yamashita’s promo and took exception to Yamashita calling herself the ace of Tokyo Joshi. Nonoko said she is the ace and she won the Tokyo Princess Cup to prove it. She brought in Akane Miura, said their team has now officially begun and their name is Bust Deluxe. Miura then challenged Yamashita to a match, calling her a stepping stone in the process. Yamashita did not give an immediate answer. Instead Erin came to her aid and said they will fight Bust Deluxe together. The tag match was made for 22nd November.

To say Shoko Nakajima had a size disadvantage against Saki Akai would be an understatement. Akai towered over Nakajima and even played with her by raising her hand to high for Nakajima to reach during the opening lock up. Even though at times Akai acted like the gritty veteren putting a rookie in her place, she hugged Nakajima after the match and praised her for a good performance.

Yuka Sakazaki wrestled in a Halloween costume and had a pumpkin bag filled with candy with her. She threw the candy at Chikage Kiba after she lost to her, then neatly picked up the candy and put it back in her bag.

Akane Miura’s Canadian Backbreaker finisher is now called the Bakyuppan.

5. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Mio Shirai

7. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) Vs Hikaru Sato & Shibata

There was a press conference to promote the UWA Tag Team Titles match with the champions Isami Kodaka & FUMA and one half of the challengers Shibata appearing. Shibata decided to strip off his clothes and spent the rest of the conference only wearing a g-string. He did it because his absent tag partner Hikaru Sato apparently sent him a letter telling him to do so. It’s probably not so weird when you remember Sato used to wrestle in maid’s clothing.

Mio Shirai has challenged Shuji Ishikawa to a singles match! After winning the Union Fly To Everywhere Championship, Shirai wants to step up her game and face a great challenge. There is no greater challenge in Union than Shuji Ishikawa. They were on opposite teams at the last Union show and Shirai has studied that match for preparations. She knows to avoid the Splash Mountain after seeing Cherry take one in the previous match. But she also thinks there is a way to counter it with a pinning cradle. According to her, Ishikawa has a low supply of blood in his brain due to his size so she should focus attacking his head and neck.

The “Japanese Million Dollar Man” comes to Union. Kazushi Miyamoto from Wrestle-1 (at least that is where I last saw him) will be facing rookie Tomoya Kawamura.
