New Union Matches, Yago Explains The SS Susan

March 25, 2011

UNION “SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY”, 03/04/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Best Of The Super Junior Celebration: Ken Ohka Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa
2. Top 10 Idol Death Match: Cherry Vs Miyako Matsumoto Vs Tsukasa Fujimoto
3. Seiya Morohashi Vs Yoshiaki Yago
4. Tag Team Gauntlet: Isami Kodaka & Yano K Data Vs Kengo Ohka & Madoka Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang (w/ Princess Makoto)
5. Sanshiro Takagi, Genichiro Tenryu & Shigehiro Irie Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Hiro Tsumaki

Cherry takes on two of the best women to come out of Ice Ribbon. Miyako Matsumoto and Tsukasa Fujimoto have both achieved the Triple Crown of titles to win in Ice Ribbon. Matsumoto just edges ahead for holding all titles simultaneously at one point. But if this does turn out to be some sort of hardcore match, Fujimoto has the advantage. You can thank Jun Kasai for that.

Yoshiaki Yago has posted a message on the DDT website explaining why he formed the SS Susan (or Susan Guard) with Kengo Ohka & Madoka. Yago has not been impressed by Union, finding it a promotion filled with unspectacular wrestlers who have no talent. He would get no benefit signing with the Union Sekigun as the sub-brand would only be “drifting the bottom of the world of professional wrestling” for the rest of time. He also laughs at Sanshiro Takagi’s attempts at running the TKG48 stable.

However, Yago has found a cause worth fighting for in Union. He has found someone who has recently struggled to be heard over the ruckus between Shuji Ishikawa’s side and TKG48. Her name is Naomi Susan, the woman in charge of Union outside of the ring. It seems that Yago has fallen for Naomi. He wants to cheer her up and make running Union easier for the pretty lady. So rounded up Kengo Mashimo Ohka and Madoka to form his own team and purge the “non-atheltes” from Union, punish his arch-rival Sanshiro Takagi and bring the “beautiful smile” back to Naomi’s face. Whether or not Naomi actually approves of this and is on their side is not known at the moment.


Yago, Isami, Dino & HARASHIMA Go Round The Indys

November 24, 2010

There has been some DDT and Union involvement in other promotions this month. Over in SMASH, Yoshiaki Yago was defeated by Akira Shoji while Isami Kodaka fought on the winning team in the semi-main event. A day earlier, Danshoku Dino made an appearance for the NEO Joshi promotion and defeated 5-Time former Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion, Tanny Mouse. Finally HARASHIMA was in Big Japan earlier in the month to take on Shinya Ishikawa in Shinya’s return match from injury. HARASHIMA earned the victory with the always reliable Somato.

Yoshiaki Yago News

November 1, 2010

It’s been a while since we heard from Yoshiaki Yago, wrestler, guitarist, gym owner and frequent locker victim. Ever since his evil plan to destroy Sumo Hall was thwarted by Michael Nakazawa, Yago stepped away from the ring and spent some quality time with his guitar. He came out of the break with renewed energy and a brand new song called “Join.The.Revolution“. Yago then appeared at a SMASH press conference on October 13th to announce the Yoshiaki Yago Cup with the winner being allowed to use “Join.The.Revolution” as his new theme song. Hajime Ohara won what I guess was the only match in the tournament but he had no interest in the prize and rejected it. So instead, “Join.The.Revolution” was chosen to be the official theme song for the SMASH.10 show at JCB Hall. The first performance of Yago’s new song will take place on the 3rd November inbetween the DDT/UNION double header at Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
