3. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Akito & MIKAMI when Takao pinned Akito with the Gin And Tonic (11:24).
4. Next KO-D Tag Team Title Challengers Match: KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki when KUDO pinned Sasaki with the Diving Double Knee Drop (14:26).
5. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Hirata pinned Katsumata with the Viagra Driver (5:57).
6. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Urano with the Sobat Kick (18:57).

The main event of today’s show was a DDT Vs Union crossover battle. HARASHIMA and Isami Kodaka got to test each other out before the big KO-D Openweight Title match at the end of the month. However it was FUMA and Yasu Urano who were involved with the finish. FUMA pinned Urano while Kodaka wiped out HARASHIMA with a Suicide Dive outside the ring. Kodaka complimented FUMA with a “Well done!” after the match. Kodaka then said he and FUMA are a much better team than Smile Squash because they are the UWA World Tag Team Champions. He thanked the fans for the 689 votes he got in the DDT Dramatic General Election that granted him his title shot.

KUDO & Masa Takanashi earned a KO-D Tag Team Title shot when they beat Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki. The title match will be in Sapporo on 12th October. The champions Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo watched the match from a corner of the venue and approached their next challengers. Takeshita said as the future of DDT he and Endo will not lose to Shuten-dōji. Instead they will use Shuten-dōji as a stepping stone. Endo said he will have raise a toast with protein when they win. Takanashi warned that they were making a big mistake. KUDO said he has won the KO-D Openweight and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as part of Shuten-dōji. He now cherishes the chance to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

Kazuki Hirata failed to appear with his teammates for the semi-main event. It was explained that Hirata is suffering from Magnum Syndrome and one of the side effects is being unable to enter ringside without his theme music. Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata took advantage and overwhelmed the remaining T2Hide wrestlers until “Tokyo GO!” was finally played. Hirata came to the rescue, fueled by his song. That was the deciding factor and T2Hide came out on top.

Soma Takao gained a lot of momentum for his upcoming DDT Extreme Title match against Akito. Takao pinned the champion in a tag team match and afterwards looked like he was going to steal his belt. Instead Takao placed it on Akito’s defeated body.

Shigehiro Irie did quick work to win the 3 Way Match. Very quick work actually. He submitted DJ Nira with a Chinlock before Yukio Sakaguchi could even enter the ring. Amon Tsurumi said felt the result was not a good way to commemorate Sakaguchi becoming fully affiliated with DDT so he ordered the match to restart. Irie then submitted Nira again even faster than the first time. The match restarted again and both Irie and Nira wrestled away from ringside with Sakaguchi chasing after them. They eventually returned on a pallet truck that was wheeled down to the ring. Nira hit Sakaguchi with the Rocket Punch and taunted him until Irie snuck up and submitted Nira one more time.

For their last match as a unit, Pigging promised to wrestle fair and square in the opening match. They then ambushed Happy Motel before the bell rang. The plan didn’t work and Michael Nakazawa was pinned by Konosuke Takeshita. After the match Gota Ihashi told Amon Tsurumi that they lost because the other team had great luck so Pigging will not disband. Tsurumi was against the idea but asked if Nakazawa and Tomomitsu Matsunaga really wanted the unit to continue. Matsunaga laughed and said he it was a good unit apart from everybody in it. They all agreed to disband Pigging.

The Smile Squash produced Korakuen Hall show on 12th November will be called “I WANT TO SEE THE SMILES OF EVERYONE”. One of the matches planned is involves Tomomitsu Matsunaga taking up his DDT Sumo King role again.

Farewell Pigging, we hardly knew you. The unit has been forced to disband after they finished last in the DDT Dramatic General Election. This weekend they have one more match together against Happy Motel. But this is something like the fifth time Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga were forced to split up so they’ll probably be teaming up again in the future.

DDT “SAPPORO WRESTLING FESTA 2014”, 12/10/2014
Sapporo Teisan Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Soma Takao

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN YOKOHAMA” Results

April 27, 2014

worldmensclub-uwatag

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN YOKOHAMA”, 27/04/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
288 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Seiya Morohashi & Ladybeard defeated Mio Shirai & SAGAT when Ladybeard pinned SAGAT with the Nut Cracker (9:41).
2. Idea Pocket Offer Match: Ryu Gouma & Daichi Kazato defeated Madoka & Tomoya Kawamura when Gouma pinned Kawamura after hitting him with a Statute Book (6:06).
3. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari by Referee Stoppage with a Knee Strike (7:50).
4. Ken Ohka defeated Cherry with the Spear Of Flame (6:55).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Mitomi Masayuki with the Zan Isamu Leg (12:27).
6. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh defeated HIROKI & Yasu Urano (c) when Teioh submitted Urano with the Spinning Toe Hold (17:21).
*HIROKI & Yasu Urano fail in V3. World Men’s Club become the 17th UWA World Tag Team Champions!
7. Hikaru Sato defeated FUMA with the V1 Armlock (18:54).

FUMA put up a good fight in the main event but fell to Hikaru Sato’s strong submission game. Sato taunted Union afterwards saying the company really is a resting place for a “premium toy” like himself. Isami Kodaka confronted him but not until after he shook hands with FUMA and gave him some words of encouragement, saying he saw power in FUMA. He then called out both Sato and Ganbare☆Wrestling for their recent treatment of Union. He cannot lose to them and let down the rest of the roster.

The UWA World Tag Team Titles changed hands with Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh winning the belts from HIROKI & Yasu Urano. Teioh took offence from Urano when he questioned his condition and said he was passed his peak. Teioh, who was recently hospitalised proved Urano wrong by submitting him with the Spinning Toe Hold. Both Fukuda and Teioh celebrated by doing the World Men’s Club pose with their new championships while the fans chanted “USA!”

The Union Vs Ganpuro war continued with both sides getting one win each on tonight’s show. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari with little effort, knocking him out with a Knee Strike. Ken Ohka then defeated Cherry in a bout that felt like a grudge match. However Ohka told Cherry after the match that they are alike. Ohka fights hard to make Ganbare☆Wrestling a major company while Cherry fights hard to prove a woman her age can make it as a wrestler. Ohka then challenged Ishikawa to make their final battle on 18th May a death match!


Golden Union Plus Ganbare And Tokyo Joshi Pro Updates

2. KANNA Vs Ririko Kendo
3. Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki Vs Chikage Kiba & Shoko Nakajima

UNION “GOLDEN UNION IN YOKOHAMA”, 27/04/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Idea Pocket Offer Match: Ryu Gouma & Daichi Kazato Vs Madoka & Tomoya Kawamura
2. Mio Shirai & SAGAT Vs Seiya Morohashi & Ladybeard
3. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yumehito Imanari
4. Cherry Vs Ken Ohka
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Mitomi Masayuki
6. FUMA Vs Hikaru Sato
7. UWA World Tag Team Titles: HIROKI & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Hiroki Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh

The Idea Pocket Divas for this month are Yu Namiki & Tsubasa Amami. The winning team in the match get a double date with the Divas. Ryu Gouma is a little uncomfortable with the stipulation, believing it is a human right violation.

FUMA is looking forward to fighting Hikaru Sato. He is annoyed with Sato treating Union as a rest stop and is looking forward to beating him.

The Union Vs Ganpuro war continues with two key matches happening on this show. Cherry destroyed Ganpuro’s Gorikiko in a violent Judo Jacket Match that had to be held away from the public for safety reasons. She is pissed and wants to remind everyone that Union is more than just Shuji Ishikawa and Naomi Susan. So she steps in to challenge Ken Ohka to a match that nobody should miss. Meanwhile Shuji Ishikawa defends Union against Ohka’s second in command, Yumehito Imanari.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 2”, 01/05/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Medical Death Match: Survival Tobita Vs Dr. Kiriko
2. Revenge Of The Tiger!: Fumihito Kihara Vs Kotaro Nasu

There are currently four entries in the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament: Ken Ohka (Wrestling), Glasses (Tae Kwon Do), Shota (American Wrestling) and Aki Shizuku (Amateur Wrestling). I think Glasses is Ladybeard’s friend who accompanied him when he fought as Richard Burn. Aki Shizuku is a joshi wrestler from REINA. She has amateur experience and was a runner up in the All Japan Student Championships.


UWA Tag Titles, KUDO Vs Akito, Golden Union Updates

1. FUMA Vs Hikaru Sato
2. UWA World Tag Team Titles: HIROKI & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Hiroki Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh

HIROKI and Hiroshi Fukuda wound up blaming each other for losing their match at “MARCH OF THE UNION 2014”. To prove he is better, HIROKI puts his and Yasu Urano’s UWA Tag Team Titles on the line against Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2014”, 29/04/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Akito

Akito became the No. 1 Contender when he won the Rumble portion of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2014”, 18/05/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aipoke World Title: Ryu Gouma (c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine
2. Cherry & X Vs Ladybeard & X
3. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

Even though he came to Union for a vacation, Hikaru Sato could wind up with some gold around his waist. Isami Kodaka doesn’t take kindly to the fact that Sato is not taking Union seriously so when Sato requested a title shot Kodaka accepted so he can show him what Union is about.

Ladybeard swears that his mystery tag team partner is definitely a woman.


UNION “DEMON UNION 2014” Results

UNION “DEMON UNION 2014”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
330 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Cherry & Mio Shirai defeated Kaori Yoneyama & Sareee when Shirai pinned Sareee with the Tsuchigumo (6:42).
2. Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki ended in a No Contest (4:28).
2a. Ken Ohka & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki when Ohka pinned Kazato with the Spear (4:14).
3. Aipoke World Title – Best 2 Out Of 3 Quiz: Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi (c) (2-0).
3a. Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi when he answered a quiz question correctly (6:36).
3b. Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi when he answered a quiz question correctly (9:59).
*Seiya Morohashi fails in V1. Ryu Gouma becomes the 4th Aipoke World Champion!
4. Hikaru Sato defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Crab Hold (7:21).
5. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Richard Burn with a Swinging Sleeper (5:29).
6. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & SAGAT defeated Ivan Markov, Freddy Martello & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ MEN’S Teioh) when Kodaka pinned Martello with the Zan Isamu Leg (15:44).

Union won the latest battle against World MEN’s Club, a 6-Man Tag that was fought under Hardcore rules by request of the Club. The Union team were ambushed as they made their entrance and the two sides utilised plenty of chairs to hurt each other. Isami Kodaka withstood Freddy Martello’s attacks and put him away with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto a fold out chair followed by the Zan Isamu Leg. After the match Kodaka told Ivan Markov that the match was hotter than the Winter Olympics going on in Sochi right now and that he wants a Union MAX Title shot next month!

Richard Burn returned to show off his fighting ability yet again, this time against the big man of Union, Shuji Ishikawa. Burn was accompanied by a man wearing glasses who acted as his cornerman, yelling instructions and motivating him with martial art stances. Ishikawa proved too strong to handle and applied a deep Sleeper Hold, going as far as to lift Burn off his feet and swing him in a circle until he submitted. Burn thanked Ishikawa for a good fight and asked for another match sometime. Ishikawa accepted.

That wasn’t the last appearance of Burn and his companion. They both reappeared at the end of the show wearing bikini tops and mini skirts with their hair in pigtails. Burn took the mic and said his real name was Ladybeard and he loves to wear women’s clothing! He appealed to join Union. Ishikawa said he could and everybody welcomed him. They are not creeped out by Burn’s sudden change because according to Kodaka, “Nothing is scary to us anymore.”

Hikaru Sato has jumped ship to Union, at least for the time being. Sato was the mysterious opponent for the rookie Tomoya Kawamura and the result was no surprise. In the post-match interview Sato explained that Union is a nice resting place for him to have a break after a good journey. He denied coming over to Union for the Aipoke World Title.

The Aipoke World Title was on the line in a Best 2 out of 3 Quiz match. Every time a wrestler pinned his opponent for one second or forced him to use a rope break, one of the Idea Pocket Divas would ask him a quiz question. First wrestler to answer two questions correctly wins the match. Seiya Morohashi easily pinned Ryu Gouma several times but was so excited he kept on giving wrong answers immediately instead of taking the time to think. Eventually Gouma was able to pin Morohashi twice and answer both questions correctly to became the new Aipoke Champion! Super Sasadango Machine appeared after the match to challenge Gouma to a title match at Korakuen Hall in May. They shook hands but Sasadango then gave Gouma the Verdict.

Union’s other war right now is with the invading Ganbare☆Wrestling led by Ken Ohka. Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki were ready to fight the Ganpuro team of Ohka & Yumehito Imanari but did not expect former Union wrestler Shinichiro Tominaga to show up with them. The match quickly turned into a brawl and had to be called off as the four wrestlers were fighting all over the arena. When things settled down, Ohka introduced the Union team to Tominaga and asked for the match to restart with Tominaga taking Imanari’s place. Everyone agreed and the bell rang. Tominaga bloodied Kazato’s mouth with punches and wiped out Masayuki with a Moonsault, leaving Ohka to put away Kazato with the Spear. Tominaga screamed out how happy he was quitting Union and how Ganpuro revived him. The trio later picked a fight with Seiya Morohashi until Naomi Susan stepped in and demanded them to leave.

Cherry and Mio Shirai weren’t able to work well as a team for Shirai’s first match as a full time Union wrestler. They were still able to win but Shirai thought she had to do it by herself. She challenged Cherry to a Fly To Everywhere Title match and declared she will change the world of women’s wrestling. Naomi Susan booked the match for Yokohama on 23rd March. Mio told Cherry to protect the belt tightly.

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2014 ~WINTER~”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall
364 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Lucha Libre Rules: Daisuke Sasaki, Guanchulo & Anarko Montaña defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki submitted Hirata with the Campana (9:42).
2. 4 Way Match: Hoshitango defeated MIKAMI, Gota Ihashi and DJ Nira when Hoshitango pinned Ihashi after the Swanton Bomb from MIKAMI (3:55).
3. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi & Akito when Soma pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (9:36).
4. Danshoku Dino defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Danshoku Destroyer (8:19).
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yasu Urano (c) defeated Tetsuya Endo with a Cradle (13:00).
*V1 for Yasu Urano.
6. Kenny Omega defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the One-Winged Angel (18:04).
7. Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & KUDO when Takanashi pinned KUDO after a Knee To The Face from Sakaguchi (13:16).

Call it luck or fortunate circumstances but Masa Takanashi pinned KUDO in the main event to send a message to HARASHIMA. Sure, Yukio Sakaguchi was the one who knocked out KUDO with a knee to the face but Takanashi was the one who pinned him. KUDO got a measure of revenge when he struck Takanashi with a Spin Kick during the post-match promos. KUDO then brawled with Sakaguchi as the show drew to a close.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga tried to summon the powers of Daniel Bryan by getting the fans to chant “Yes! Yes!” during his match with Kenny Omega. Unfortunately the One-Winged Angel put a stop to that harder than Rey Mysterio’s entrance at this year’s Royal Rumble.

Team Dream Futures built some momentum for their upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot when Soma Takao pinned Makoto Oishi. But that momentum was stopped one match later when Danshoku Dino defeated Keisuke Ishii.

Guanchulo’s friend from Chile turned out to be Anarko Montaña from MAX Lucha Libre. Montaña wrestles in a Robin Mask mask and a tartan kilt. Guanchulo & Montaña have sided with the Monster Army for the time being. The opening match was fought under Lucha Libre rules after Sasaki’s team demanded it. Ring announcer Rikiya Shindo was forced to be the second referee with Daisuke Kiso, a decision that angered Yukinori Matsui because he wasn’t picked and he also had to hand over his referee shirt. When the match ended, Matsui got his shirt back by force.

It was announced that Konosuke Takeshita passed his entry exam into the Nippon Sport Science University. To celebrate, he will go through a three match series beginning at the 23/2 Korakuen Hall show. His first match will be himself and Tetsuya Endo against Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga.

Former DDT wrestler Daichi Kakimoto announced he was leaving his job as store manager for the DDT Drop Kick Bar in Shinjuku. Isami Kodaka will become the new store manager next month. Kodaka said he will make Drop Kick become a fun place for people to drink happily.

4. Value Of Man Is Not A Plane! BOYZ Vs YaroZ: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie Vs HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo

As best as I can tell, this is DDT parodying their own BOYZ spin-off brand. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will be the special ring announcer for the show.

The boxing match will be only one round but that round has a 45 minute time limit. Yuzuki Aikawa will be the ring girl.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Do Or Die!? Negligence Match: KUDO Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Aja Kong (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Toma Sakao
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles Match: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
4. KO-D Openweight Title Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

DDT’s eternal underdog has gotten himself a KO-D Openweight Title match. Despite a poor record preventing him from earning a title shot normally, Masa Takanashi got his friend Emi Sakura to trick Amon Tsurumi into signing the contract to make the match official.

Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega are going to face a team unlike any other in wrestling today. The Brahman Brothers have terrified many wrestlers, referees and fans alike with their antics. Expect insects, slime and maybe a decapitated animal head or two.
