KUDO swept aside his first challenger for the KO-D Openweight Championship. Keisuke Ishii put up a brave effort for his first shot at the title, but KUDO stood tall by the end. His next challenger will be the winner of the DDT48 Election 2011, taking place on the 23rd October Korakuen Hall show. If KUDO ends up winning the election, he will be allowed to choose his opponent.
We have brand new KO-D Tag Team Champions in the form of Kota Ibushi & Danshoku Dino! The two most well known names from DDT make quite the successful combination as they put away the big and small team of Daisuke Sekimoto & Masa Takanashi to win the titles. To celebrate their victory, Dino and Ibushi were joined in the ring with Makoto Oishi and together they all sang and danced to a Momoiro Clover Z song. This is enough to signal a new unit, apparently.
Hikaru Sato was defeated by fellow Pancrase MISSION fighter Minoru Suzuki. Minoru added salt to the wounds by saying he was always better than Sato going back to their days in Pancrase.
HERO! and Darkside HERO! turned on HARASHIMA, giving him a Tombstone Piledriver and leaving him for dead in their 6-Man Tag match. In response to this, Tsurumi Amon announced that HARASHIMA will face HERO! one on one at “NON-FIX 9.18” in Chiba Blue Field.
A DDT Vs Union 6-Man Tag match was announced for a special DDT48 Election show taking place in Korakuen Hall on 25th September. KUDO, HARASHIMA & Kota Ibushi will take on Shuji Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Ohka. The Union side has the big disadvantage of being made up of wrestlers from three rival factions. The rest of the DDT48 contestants will appear at the show, which will be the final event where they can campaign for votes before the polls close.
Poison Sawada JULIE’s new name is… Poison JULIE Sawada! The name change he planned was actually just switching parts of his name around, going from ポイズン澤田JULIE to ポイズンJULIE澤田. Sawada arrived at Korakuen Hall with a brand new look, which is being called his “TOKIO” costume. The new costume is a long red Sgt. Pepper style jacket along with a golden helmet that is legal to use during matches. Sawada also used a brand new finishing move called the Pirates A GOGO to defeat Daisuke Sasaki in their tag match and getting revenge for his humiliation during “BEER FIGHT 2011” week.
Several DDT and Union wrestlers spent time with the audience between matches during today’s event, campaigning for votes in the DDT48 Elections. Makoto Oishi went around giving free hugs for example. Although he might have done that anyway regardless of whether or not there was an election going on.
