    [DIAMOND RING/VooDoo MURDERS/NOAH News] Katsuhiko Nakajima announced that he will be bringing in Yutaka Yoshie to team up with him and Kajiwara to take on the VooDoo MURDERS on March 17.Since size and height is a factor in the up coming match, Nakajima has taken it upon himself to find someone who can back up their height with the large size and that man is Yoshie. All 3 members of the VooDoo MURDERS they are facing are all over 180cm (Kento 186cm/97kg, Taishi 190cm/95kg & TARU 185cm/100kg) which completely beats the 175cm/97kg of Nakajima and the 170cm/83kg of Kajiwara. So the 180cm/150kg frame of Yutaka Yoshie is what Katsukaji (Katsuhiko & Kajiwara) are hoping will be bring the extra power that they need.The whole event card for the 3.17 show has been announced which you can see below.DIAMOND RING, 3/17/2013 [Sun] 13:00 @  Tatebayashi City Citizens Gymnasium in Gunma (Gohara Gymnasium)(1) Opening Tag Match: ~Participants~ Namazu Man, Kikutato [Akiba], CHANGO [Free] & KAMIKAZE [ZERO1]~ Teams to be decided the day off event.(2) Mitsuhiro Kitamiya vs. Kengo [VooDoo MURDERS](3) Tatsuhito Takaiwa [Free] & Ryuji Hijikata [Free] vs. Kenichiro Arai [DG] & K-ness.

Both men will make their first appearances as a team in NOAH on 3.10, and it seems they aim to make a statement when they face the Bravado Brothers.With NOAH’s Global Tag League tournament coming up in April one could easily speculate that they will be one of the participating teams.NOAH “GREAT VOYAGE 2013 in YOKOHAMA”, 3/10/2013 [Sun] 16:00 @ Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium(1) NOAH vs DIAMOND RING: Hitoshi Kumano vs. Mitsuhiro Kitamiya(2) VooDoo MURDERS vs. Bravado Bros.: Kento Miyahara & Taishi Takizawa vs. Harlem & Lance Bravado(3) Akitoshi Saito [Free] & Masao Inoue [Free] vs. Kensuke Sasaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima [both DIAMOND RING](4) BRAVE vs TMDK 6 Man Tag Match: Takeshi Morishima, Mohammed Yon & Yoshinari Ogawa vs. Mikey Nicholls, Shane Haste & Jonah Rock(5) GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Championship Match: [16th Champions] “Los Mexitosos” Super Crazy & Ricky Marvin vs. [Challengers] “NO MERCY” Genba Hirayanagi & Maybach Tanguchi Jr.~ 5th Title Defense.(6) GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship Match: [26th Champion] Taiji Ishimori vs. [Challenger] Atsushi Kotoge~ 1st Defense.(7) GHC Tag Championship Match: [27th Champions] Naomichi Marufuji & Takashi Sugiura vs. [Challengers] “CHAOS” Toru Yano & Takashi Iizuka [NJPW]~ 2nd Defense.(8) GHC Heavyweight Championship Match: [19th Champion] KENTA vs. [Challenger] Maybach Taniguchi~ 1st Defense.http://www.puroresuspirit.com/2013/02/25/noah-event-cards-for-march-april-2013/[Pictured: Taishi Takizawa and Kento Miyahara]

    [DIAMOND RING News] YASSHI speaks in regards to the new VooDoo Murders and DR upcoming shows.Following the last show on February 11th, we have come to learn that “brother” YASSHI has come forward as the leader of the VooDoo Murders and has some strong recruiting gifts as former Kensuke Sasaki/Office protege Kento Miyahara and K-DOJO’s Taishi Takizawa.VDM are currently 5 members strong with YASSHI, TARU, Kengo, Kento Miyahara & Taishi Takizawa [pictured], and it seems YASSHI is looking to take charge as one of the leading groups in Japan.The next show for DR will be on February 24th as Kento Miyahra will be teaming with Kengo (formerly Kengo Nishimura [23]) to take on Satoshi Kajiwara & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya. Kajiwara & Kitamiya were the first ones to be a part of Miyahara’s betrayal. You can be sure that both will be looking to take get some revenge and as well shed some answers on why Kento jumped ship.Antonio Honda won the right to challenge Kensuke Sasaki on the 2.11 show and will be getting the match in the main event spot on the next upcoming show.Below is the announced card for the KO Dojo event on February 24th.DIAMOND RING, 2/24/2013 [Sun] 15:00 @ Kensuke Office Dojo(1) Namazu Man & Kikutaro [Akiba] vs. CHANGO [Free] & Menso~re Oyaji [Free](2) Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Masato Shibata [U-FILE CAMP](3) Satoshi Kajiwara & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya vs. “VooDoo Murders” Kento Miyahara & Kengo(4) Kensuke Sasaki vs. Antonio Honda [DDT]DR also announced the early card for the next show which will be held in March.

    [DIAMOND RING News] DR announced the full show card for their 1st year anniversary on Feb. 11th. Kento Miyahara and Akira Hokuto were on hand for the press conference to announce the final two matches for the upcoming show.Among the announcements is DR accepting the challenge from the Voodoo Murders to compete on the show. YASSHI originally announced that he was aiming for his return, but yesterday led to the shocking return of TARU. TARU has thrown his name back out there that he wants to return to the ring, and it is up to him when they might happen. DR announced that Kento Miyahara will be teaming with K-DOJO’s Taishi Takizawa to take on the team of VOODOO MURDERS with their decision on who exactly will compete from their group, as well as the inclusion of Kazunari Murakami. That is to say if he so chooses to associate himself with the group.Sasaki’s return match has been set as it was announced that he would be teaming with NOAH’s Takashi Sugiura to take on the team of his top student, Katsuhiko Nakajima, and ZERO1’s Shinjiro Otani. Interesting development to see Sasaki teaming with Sugiura, but it should be interesting to see how they work together against Nakajima & Otani. Sasaki and Otani have a history against one another, and who knows if this may lead to another singles clash down the road.Below is the updated card in full.DIAMOND RING “Dream Anniversary 2013 ~ 1st Year Anniversary”, 2/11/2013 [Mon] 12:00 @ Korakuen Hall in Tokyo(1) Battle Royal: Namazu Man, Yoshihiro Takayama, Kikutaro, CHANGO, Antonio Honda, Shu & Kei Brahman, Menso~re Oyaji, NOSAWA Rongai, Marines Mask, Masao Inoue, and more to be added later.(2) Akira Hokuto Produced Special Joshi Pro Wrestling Match: Manami Toyota [Free] & Meiko Satomura [SENDAI] vs. Yumiko Hotta [DIANA] & Sonoko Kato [OZ](3) 6 Man Tag Junior Scramble Wars: Satoshi Kajiwara, Ryuji Hijikata [Free] & TAJIRI [WNC] vs. Fujita “Jr” Hayato [Michinoku], Kenichiro Arai [DG] & K-ness.

    Weekend Recap for October 1, 2012 [Vol. 4]

    Sort of a slow weekend with nothing much going on except for a few shows, but I will try to cover some of the moments from this weekend 9/29 and 9/30 as well as any forthcoming news as I write this.
    —————————————————————————————————————-
    [NOAH]
    The biggest news from the weekend came with Shuji Kondo beating Yoshinobu Kanemaru for the GHC Junior Heavweight belt on September 29. This match was kind of a toss up between the two going in, with some people I knew actually suspecting that Kondo could walk out the new champion. Well that indeed happened and that will lead us into a pretty big shift as NOAH aims to bring the belt back home.
    Much like with All Japan Pro-Wrestling this year with having all their belts held by outside promotions, the President of All Japan Masayuki Uchida was very pleased that someone was from his promotion able to claim a belt from another promotion.

    Now we almost have the entire NOAH Jr. roster stepping up to challenge the new champion. I say almost as Shuji Kondo had 2 specific people he wanted to face in Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA, who for the longest were the symbols of the NOAH Jr. division. Both Marufuji and KENTA have recently said they are done with the Jr. division as they aim to become mainstay’s against the heavyweights. Shuji Kondo though has teetered on the line between heavyweight and junior throughout the years and has even stated that he would turn into a “true” heavyweight just to face them, even though Marufuji and KENTA are still classified as Junior weights (under 100kg).
    No challenger has been named for the new champion, but I suspect something to be set up at GREAT VOYAGE 2012 in YOKOHAMA vol.2 on Oct. 8 or during the
    Autumn Navig.2012 tour that starts on Oct. 7 and runs through Oct. 27.

    Takeshi Morishima got his win back over Jun Akiyama following the embarrassing tap out by the hands of Jun Akiyama.

    No one looks to have really came out the winner after the 20+ minute 6 man tag match, but next weekend will bring us the GHC Heavy title match. Both men will have a lot to prove on October 9, but it should be a great, well I should say, “war” between the two.

    More information leading into the NOAH vs. ZERO1 feud.
    Kohei Sato is looking to bring the ZERO1 war with full force with his ultimate goal or going right after Takeshi Morishima and the GHC Heavyweight belt. It was already suspected that Kohei would be aiming for a GHC title match sooner than later, and it seems we could see it soon that is if Kohei beats Maru on 10/8.

    Yusuke Ueda emerged the victor after the final battle royal on Oct. 30th and will be heading to Nepal at the end of the year to take part in a charity show and bring donations that ZERO1 has gathered.
    Speaking of excursions it has also been announced that Daichi Hashimoto and Yoshikazu Yokoyama will be heading to Hong Kong in December to learn and train with Jason New and others in the Honk Kong Wrestling Federation, also known as ZERO1 Hong Kong. This will be the first overseas excursion for them both.
    This will be a significant time for Daichi to learn and grow in strength before his debut with New Japan Pro Wrestling at the Tokyo Dome on January 4.

    [DDT]
    The biggest headline for Dramatic Dream Team this weekend was the crowning of a new KO-D Openweight Champion when El Generico defeated Kota Ibushi after a 23_ minute match to be win the title.
    El Generico has competed in DDT and UNION for over the last year now and has become someone who the fans like to see compete in Japan. Generico, if I am not mistaken, is also the first non-Japanese wrestler to win the belt. What’s next for Generico has yet to be determined.

    [DIAMOND RING]
    DR’s show on Sunday saw Masato Tanaka defeat Katsuhiko Nakajima in a 21+ minute match, in what was said to be very hard hitting and with a lot of great back and forth spots.
    Kento Miyahara was said to have shown a lot of promise with his match against Jun Akiyama, which lasted 17+ minutes. Miyahara has been seen as Sasaki’s top heavyweight prospect for the last couple of years and his match on Sunday was said to have been a strong sign for his future.

    DR’s next show will be on October 7.

    Like I mentioned this was a pretty small weekend for major happenings in Japan, but expect next weeks write up to be very big, given it is a 3 day weekend with the major promotions all hosting big shows.

    [Tenryu Project News/Event Update] The full card for the upcoming show on July 27th has been announced. All the matches were announced the other day, besides the main event, but with the inclusion of the main event this show has appeared to be even more interesting. Sasaki was announced to be the enforcer for the show and a main event match with him involved was surely to be announced. As he teams with his top heavyweight “prospect” student Kento Miyahara to take on the team of Jinsei Shinzaki and Kazushi Miyamoto. The idea of Sasaki and Shinzaki in the same ring sounds great, and it should be a big opportunity for Miyahara and Miyamoto. Miyamoto may not be as well known, but he has been wrestling for over 10 years now and was initially trained by Toshiaki Kawada, Hiroshi Hase, Genichiro Tenryu, and Johnny Ace. “[R-2] “REAL” TENRYU PROJECT 8” 7/27/2012 [Fri] 18:30 @ Korakuen Hall in Tokyo (1) Mitsuo Momota vs. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi (2) MIZUCHI ~Mizuchi Ryu~ 5 Min.
