2. Antonio Honda defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Cradle (9:52).
3. Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Obihiro Magic Clutch (8:24).

7. Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Hikaru Sato, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Ishii pinned Takanashi with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (16:11).

Daisuke Sasaki was given a request by the rest of the Monster Army to cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contract on 2nd June in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Meanwhile Sayaka Obihiro showed up with the intention of cashing in her contract. However, Emi Sakura advised her not to do it and instead challenge DDT wrestlers to win or buy back the contract at their next Gatoh Move show.

Kenny Omega and DJ Nira worked well together as a team but their moment of inspirational teamwork backfired spectacularly. Omega held up Nira into the Croyt’s Wrath and Nira would then launch a Rocket Punch from that position. However, Makoto Oishi snuck up behind them on his hands and knees. Omega tripped over Oishi and in the process hit Nira with the Croyt’s Wrath. Oishi then pinned Nira to win the match.

Guanchulo and Agressor appeared at ringside during the second match and sang the Chilean national anthem to the audience.

El Samurai, Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata have formed the Samurai Sentai Samurai Rangers. El Samurai is the leader, Takagi is XL Samurai, Owashi is XXL Samurai and Hirata is M Samurai. Hirata wore a plastic bag with Samurai’s mask drawn on it over his head for today’s match.

A joint birthday party was held for Danshoku Dino and Kota Ibushi after the show. Dino turned 36 on 18th May while Ibushi turns 31 on 21st May.

The BOYZ brand will return on 4th July in Shinjuku FACE. Tickets will only be available to women as is tradition for BOYZ shows.

The first round matches for the Top of the Dramatic Cruiser tournament have been announced. The matches are Masa Takanashi Vs Marines Mask, El Samurai Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Katsumi Usuda Vs Kikutaro and MIKAMI Vs Onryo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE FOURTH MEETING”, 06/06/2013
Shibuya Deseo

1. KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

After defeating KANNA at the last event, Chikage Kiba wants to become the ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro by beating Miyu Yamashita. Miyu is currently undefeated with a record of two wins and one draw.

Shoko Nakajima is the newest trainee for Tokyo Joshi Pro. Nakajima is from Niigata and was born on 19th July, 1991. She is 147cm high, has blood type A, likes theatre and comedy and is nicknamed Nakaji. Nakajima only began watching live wrestling a while ago and was inspired to become one because she enjoys to perform in front of an audience. Although she is new to wrestling, her father is a fan so she aims to be like her father’s favourite wrestler Chaparrita ASARI. Her debut match against KANNA will only be a three minute exhibition bout and she may change her name and ring gear when she has her first official match.

Street Fighter 2: TLC Falls Count Anywhere Edition

April 27, 2013

isami-kamehameha

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2013”, 03/05/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gabaiji-chan Vs Saint Seiya Rion Vs El Hijo del Goro
1. Ryu Gouma & SAGAT Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Nazo Fukumen A, Nazo Fukumen M & Nazo Fukumen K (w/ Nazo Fukumen P) Vs Kengo Ohka, Madoka & Menso~re Oyaji
3. Aipoke World Title Decision – Idea Pocket Special 3 Way Match: FUMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Jun Kasai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – Triple Threat Match: Kaori Yoneyama (c) Vs Cherry Vs Nako Fukumen B
5. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Daichi Kazato Vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Great Kojika & Hideyoshi Kamitani
6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match has been decided. Isami Kodaka won the Extreme Title in a Tonkaichi, Ladders & Chairs Match against El Generico over a year ago. He wanted to face Kenny in the same match but with tables instead of the giant hammer. However since Kenny is a Street Fighter, a Falls Count Anywhere rule is now added to the match. Isami revealed he has learned the Kamehameha to counter Kenny’s Hadouken. He thinks the Hadouken has a fatal weakness that the Kamehameha does not possess. The ladder Isami wants to use is claimed to be 1.5 times higher than the type he usually uses in matches. It is a ladder high enough to poke the heavens.

The Nazo Fukumen group believe their token female member will win the Fly To Everywhere Title and they compared it to the Battle of Sekigahara, a decisive battle that was fought in 1600. The Triple Threat match will be first fall to a finish.

Choun-Shiryu demonstrated a weakness of the recently converted Chinese vampire SAGAT. When Shiryu sticks a mystical sealing ward onto SAGAT’s forehead, the vampire freezes on the spot. Now knowing that he can render one of his opponents useless, it will make his mission to transform Ryu Gouma into a vampire easier. China has many problems right now so Shiryu wants to have a lawyer under his control if anything goes wrong. That’s why he wants to turn Gouma into a vampire.

Seiya Morohashi, who was forced to withdraw from Union after losing a Mask Contra Withdraw match at the last show has been begging for his job back. He might be added to the dark match.

Fukuda’s box office success with Ultimate Superstars Action convinced Naomi Susan to give him a second chance and bring him back to Union just for this match.

There is also a deluxe prize for the champion. He will win a date with Idea Pocket idol Aino Kishi.

DDT “PLANT WRESTLING”, 29/05/2013
Miyaji Ironworks

Street Wrestling Match: Kazuyoshi Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi’s Elite Street Troops

DDT returns to the factory in Miyaji for another bout of street wrestling and this time they are bringing Kazuyoshi Sakai with them. Sakai was a part time wrestler for MUSCLE between 2005 and 2010. He mostly wrestled as a Razor Ramon HG parody during his time there. He has since returned for one more match at last year’s “BUDOKAN PETER PAN” show. Sanshiro Takagi is bringing together an elite team of street wrestlers to take on Sakai, Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. I will be shocked if one of those elite wrestlers is not Kota Ibushi.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013” Results

March 10, 2013

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
242 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Mascara Contra Exile Tag Team Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen C ended in a Draw when Fukuda and Fukumen C pinned each other (9:07).
*Hiroshi Fukuda is exiled from Union. Nazo Fukumen C is revealed to be Shota.
2. Kotaro Nasu & Hasuka Makoto defeated Daichi Kazato & Shinya Ishida when Nasu submitted Kazato with a Cross Armbreaker (10:44).
3. Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu) defeated SAGAT with the Hulao (5:05).
4. Gabaiji-chan defeated Seiya Morohashi with the Gabai Bomb (12:12).
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (14:07).
*Kaori Yoneyama is the 1st Union Fly To Everywhere World Champion!
6. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka defeated Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Masato Shibata (21:30).
6a. Isami Kodaka pinned Shuji Ishikawa with a School Boy (6:27).
6b. Shuji Ishikawa pinned Isami Kodaka with the Splash Mountain (14:10).
6c. Isami Kodaka pinned FUMA with the Isamu Leg (21:30).

Among the instruments and equipment involved in the Giant Recital were guitars, trumpets and Yama amplifiers. Shuji Ishikawa was disappointed he didn’t get to sing. He and Naomi Susan invited Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai into the ring to sing a song. Isami Kodaka interrupted to challenge Kasai to a match for Freedoms at Korakuen Hall in May.

A Mascara Contra Exile match kicked off the show. It turns out the Nazo Fukumen has a third member since the female masked wrestler from the last show was replaced with a new masked man instead (Mio… I mean the mystery woman missed the show due to illness). Fukuda guessed Kijimuna was behind the mask. Kasai just casually said Ken Ohka was one of them. A Small Package led to Fukuda and Nazo Fukumen C pinning each other to end the match in a draw. As a result, Fukuda is now exiled from Union while Nazo Fukumen C had to unmask. The masked man was revealed to be Shota, who hadn’t wrestled in DDT or Union since last August and was desperate to return. He apologised for his plan and left the arena crying. Meanwhile Kasai consoled Fukuda and gave him a 5 bell salute.

The creator of the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title is now its first champion. Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry in the decision match to crown the first FTE Champion. Nazo Fukumen A challenged Kaori to a title match but Rumi Kazama refused to sanction the match because she said it is strictly a women’s championship. The masked man told Kazama to never forget those words and left. Yoneyama declared she will defend her new championship many times to any woman who challenges her.

The New Beijing team returned to Union with a fire in their belly. They were very angry over the controversial Japanese toilets versus Chinese toilets argument they had with Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai last month. Shiryu was upset that Cao Zhang was now put into a pointless match with the rookie SAGAT. He decided to make the match meaningful by presenting a mysterious bottle of liquid. Shiryu said it was a forbidden Vampire Elixir that was developed in China over 2,800 years ago. He claims the elixir can turn the dead into vampires. However, it is illegal in Japan to turn the dead into vampires so the bottle will be put up as a prize for the winner of the match. Cao Zhang defeated SAGAT and Shiryu forced SAGAT to drink the liquid. Shiryu promised that SAGAT will return with 4,000 years of Chinese technology powering him.

Kenny Omega will wrestle for Union on 5th April in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2013” Results

March 10, 2013

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
255 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango defeated MIKAMI, Makoto Oishi & Kijimuna when Hoshitango pinned Oishi with the Imachi Drop (12:26).
2. Hikaru Sato & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Akito & Daichi Kazato when Sato submitted Kazato with a Reverse Armbreaker (9:57).
3. Yuji Hino defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Sergeant Firing (9:11).
4. Michael Nakazawa Soaring Stock Market Research: Toru Owashi & DJ Nira defeated Danshoku Dino & Michael Nakazawa when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with the Nodowa Otoshi (10:06).
5. Teach Me What I Am Missing: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (9:31).
6. Masa Takanashi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Doburoku (15:38).
7. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Yasu Urano & KUDO and Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi when Irie pinned Ihashi with the Flying Sausage (14:32).

Despite winning the main event and riding a wave of momentum, Shigehiro Irie admitted he is afraid he might lose his KO-D Openweight Title match against Kenny Omega on 20th March. A reinvigorated Keisuke Ishii (as explained below) slapped Irie and told him he is one step away from being the champion of DDT, he is strong and he will have Ishii & Takao Soma cheering for him at full force. Motivated, Irie vowed to become champion.

Masa Takanashi has a new flash pin to beware of. The Doburoku is a modified Kido Clutch named after an alcoholic beverage that Masa no doubt enjoys.

Kizaemon Saiga attended the show and provided a brief demonstration of his abilities inside the ring to promote his DDT debut on 20th March. Saiga said that when he was fighting in K-1, he thought it was cool to watch Kota Ibushi wrestling and wanted to try it himself.

Keisuke Ishii and Sanshiro Takagi had a brawl that stretched outside to the Yokohama street. Takagi attempted to drag Ishii in a Headlock over to a nearby radio station but the fight returned to the ring instead. Ishii was on the verge of victory when Takagi told him the important piece of advice he so desperately wanted was on the wall behind him. Takagi used the distraction to take control and win the match. Conceding defeat, Ishii begged Takagi to tell him what he was missing to become the perfect wrestler. Takagi told him that no wrestler is perfect. He told Ishii that before he was obsessed with becoming perfect, he was holding the DDT Extreme and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles at the same time. He then lost the titles when he lost faith in himself. His advice to Ishii was to always hang in there ahead of the competition. However, Tsurumi Amon stepped in and told Ishii there actually was something important he and also Takagi should learn. But just when he was about to say it, Takagi was suddenly shot in the neck with a poisoned dart. Then Tsurumi was shot with a dart. Then the referee, then the ring announcer, then the video crew and so on until Keisuke Ishii was the only concious person left inside the ring. Ishii finally gave up and said he will believe in the best of his abilities from now on.

Danshoku Dino warned Toru Owashi & DJ Nira that Michael Nakazawa had become stronger thanks to his Last Man Standing match with Kenny Omega during the week. Dino was so confident in Nakazawa that he made him wrestle most of the match despite the fact that Michael had not fully recovered. Michael was not motivated to wrestle until Okinawa Pro wrestler Kijimuna appeared and said how much he admired him. Nakazawa fired himself up and cleared house but Owashi no sold his Ultimate Venom Arm and wiped him out with a Choke Slam.

Yukio Sakaguchi had to miss the show due to a suspected rubella illness. Daichi Kazato took his place in Match #2

Antonio Honda talked about Michael Jackson’s autobiography before the opening match for some reason. Why not?

Complete “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013” Card

March 7, 2013

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. SAGAT Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu)
2. Seiya Morohashi Vs Gabaiji-chan
3. Daichi Kazato & Shinya Ishida Vs Kotaro Nasu & Hasuka Makoto
4. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry Vs Kaori Yoneyama
6. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Masato Shibata

The aim of the Giant Recital match is to grab a musical instrument at ringside and play it successfully. The first team to do so with two instruments will be declared the winners. Fans have been encouraged to bring their own instruments to be included in the match but Union does not guarantee they will be returned in the same condition they were before the match. Shuji Ishikawa thinks that it is only fitting for his Giant Recital to include another giant. So he has chosen Masato Shibata to be his and FUMA’s partner for the match. Shibata doesn’t wrestle often these days but his most recent appearances have been for Diamond Ring, Apache Pro and IGF.

Some extra micro indy wrestlers have been added to the show. Shinya Ishida is from Sportiva Entertainment and Hasuka Makoto is from Team Dera.
