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.

Union continues their partnership with Idea Pocket by introducing a new championship created by the AV company. The first Aipoke World Champion will be decided in a 4 Way match between FUMA, Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda who returns from exile after his Loser Leaves Town defeat last month. 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?

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.

Fly To Everywhere World Championship, Giant Recital

2. SAGAT Vs Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu)

4. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B
5. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & X

The monthly Union press conference was held today to promote their next event in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 10th March. Kaori Yoneyama introduced the brand new championship she named and designed herself, the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title. Even though the actual title belt itself has not been created yet, Kaori had a drawing of what the belt is supposed to look like. She said she wants the finished belt to be pink and silver. Cherry appeared and said she did not like Kaori’s design. However, she still wanted to be the first champion. Rumi Kazama has been appointed the commissioner of the belt and chose Kaori and Cherry as the two wrestlers who will battle to be crowned the first champion.

The Giant Recital is a Fans Bring The Instruments match. Musical instruments are legal to use as weapons and Union is asking its fans to supply them. Ken Ohka was originally planned to team with Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA but his spot is now vacant after he forced himself out of Union.

Ganbare Goodness, Yokohama Twilight, Meet Ibushi’s Friend

February 28, 2013

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “JUDGEMENT PRE-EVENT”, 06/03/2013
Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic

1. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
2. Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Behold… another Goddamn DDT spin off! Ganbare☆Wrestling is the creation of Ken Ohka, the eternal Union young lion. After forcing himself out of his longtime home for suffering defeat in a Loser Leaves Town match, Ohka eventually found money to start his own wrestling company. He promoted Ganbare’s debut pre-event at the Shin-Kiba 1st RING parking lot today but was interrupted by Brian Cannon, formerly known as Dingo from Osaka Pro. Cannon confronted Ohka and told him he disgraced his hero Jushin Liger at Korakuen Hall years ago (they had a match once, it’s wasn’t great). Cannon took out a mannequin head wearing a Liger mask and attacked a photographer with it before getting into a scuffle with Ohka. Cannon demanded a match for the Ganbare show and told Ohka he wouldn’t get away with disgracing his hero.

Another match signed is part time wrestler and Golden Rendezvouz manager Yumehito Imanari versus Osamu Namiguchi, a failed trainee from Zero1.

Ohka has also gotten Batten Tamagawa involved with Ganpuro. Tamagawa will use the name Ganbare Tamagawa whenever he wrestles for Ohka’s brand.

Will Keisuke Ishii ever find that missing element to improve himself? Sanshiro Takagi is the one who is constantly telling him who to look for. Maybe Ishii can beat the answer out of Takagi himself.

Last Man Standing, Nazo Fukumen, Masayuki Car Accident, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling 2nd Preview

February 25, 2013

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

The friendship between Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa has turned sour over the KO-D Championship. Omega offered Nakazawa the title shot in the hopes to show the world that his buddy can be a serious wrestler. Nakazawa accepted but kept to his sleazy ways, low blowing Kenny and embarrassing him at Korakuen Hall. Then yesterday at Shin-Kiba 1st RING, Nakazawa went through a gauntlet of 7 wrestlers to prepare himself. He lost to every single one of them. Then Kenny low blowed him partly for payback but also to try and convince Nakazawa to take their title match seriously. He’ll have to because this one match show on Thursday will be fought under Last Man Standing rules. DDT will be using the rule where you have to pin your opponent for the three count before the referee can begin counting to ten.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B

Two mysteriously masked people have invaded Union. The anonymous man and woman are both being referred to as Nazo Fukumen. They kidnapped Jun Kasai and held him hostage at the end of “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”. Their demand was to get booked in Union. Naomi Susan apparently recognises who they are and gave in to their demands without any resistance. The Nazo Fukumen are going to face Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda in a tag team match.

Kengo Ohka, Madoka, Kaori Yoneyama & Gabaiji-chan will also appear on the show. Yoneyama is currently busy designing the brand new championship to be introduced into Union soon. Mitomi Masayuki was supposed to make his Union debut but that has been put off after he fractured his left ankle in a car accident. He will be out of action for at least the entire month of March.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2013”, 20/03/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal:
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie won the tournament yesterday to earn this title shot. While a possible rematch with Kenny Omega looks likely, the wrestling world can take a strange twist and have Michael Nakazawa win the KO-D Title and defend it against Irie instead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE SECOND MEETING”, 25/03/2013

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2012” Results

October 13, 2012

DDT “BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA 2012”, 13/10/2012
Yokohama Radiant Hall
203 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango defeated MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi & Tetsuya Endo when Sasaki pinned Endo after an Imachi Drop from Hoshitango (9:43).
2. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Akito by Referee Stoppage with a Rear Naked Choke (5:05).
3. Kenny Omega & DJ Nira defeated Danshoku Dino & Michael Nakazawa when Omega pinned Nakazawa with the Croyt’s Wrath (10:42).
4. Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie defeated Hikaru Sato & Makoto Oishi when Soma pinned Oishi with the Boma Ye (10:20).
5. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title – Yokohama Rules: Hiroshi Fukuda (c) defeated Sanshiro Takagi by DQ after the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (7:12).
*V3 for Hiroshi Fukuda.
6. HARASHIMA & Hiro Tsumaki defeated Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi when Tsumaki pined Ihashi with the Jawbreaker (14:36).
7. Yasu Urano defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:06).

Yasu Urano got the better over Keisuke Ishii again to cap off a good day for Ura-Shima-Kudo. The group also got help in the form of the promising Hiro Tsumaki from Union to side with them during KUDO’s absence. Tsumaki has suggested the stable should rename themselves Ura-Shima-Hiro until KUDO returns. Ishii meanwhile was pissed that he lost to Urano. All of Team Dream Futures swore that next time they will not go easy on Ura-Shima-Hiro and they will drink more milk to get even stronger.

Hiro Tsumaki has named his Savate Kick finisher the Jawbreaker.

Hiroshi Fukuda presented referee Daisuke Kiso with the official rule book used for Yokohama wrestling matches before he squared off with Sanshiro Takagi for the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title. When the match began, Takagi immediately hit the Stunner and pinned Fukuda. However, the match had to restart because Article #28 of the rules said that US Title matches in Yokohama must begin with a lockup. Takagi then quickly submitted Fukuda but Article #165 says that submissions in Yokohama are invalid. Third time around, Fukuda was counted out after Takagi Suplexed him outside the ring but Article #4 says that a 20 count must be used, so the match continued when Fukuda got back into the ring and gave Takagi the Perfect Plex for a nearfall. Article #495 then came into play as a 30 second timeout is used after every Perfect Plex. Takagi had enough and gave Fukuda the Sit Down Himawari Bomb. Unfortunately Article #999 says that moves where the victim is raised above the opponent’s shoulders then suddenly dropped are considered dangerous and result in an automatic disqualification. After the match Fukuda told the fans to spread the news on Twitter and Facebook that he beat Takagi.

6. HARASHIMA & X Vs Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi
7. Yasu Urano Vs Keisuke Ishii

The feud between Ura-Shima-Kudo and Team Dream Futures has leapt to the next level after Keisuke Ishii put KUDO on the shelf with a dislocated elbow. Yasu Urano faces Ishii in what is sure to be a heated main event.

Due to KUDO’s injury, HARASHIMA will need to find another wrestler to team with him to take on Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi.

Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hiroshi Fukuda will now have Fukuda’s Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title on the line. Fukuda chose Takagi to be his opponent and Takagi responded by asking what the hell is this US Heavyweight Title, who certifies the championship and why is it being defended in DDT? Fukuda said it is the most prestigious US Title in Japan, that it is certified by Union and it will cause too much trouble to explain why DDT is hosting the title match. He then got Takagi to sign the certificate to make the title match official, even though Takagi doesn’t want the title.
