MIKAMI appeared at the show to announce he was having surgery on his right shoulder next month to repair a torn rotator cuff. He will be gone from the ring for at least 6 months.
DJ Nira won a special prize for winning the New Year Rumble. The prize is a match against Big Japan death match wrestler Jaki Numazawa.
Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA and Yuji Hino Vs Keisuke Ishii are booked for the 29/01 Korakuen Hall show. Also El Generico will return to DDT for the 11th and 19th February shows in Nagoya and Korakuen.
The special rule for the Hoshitango Vs Poison JULIE Sawada match was that whenever a wrestler was knocked out of the ring, a fan from the audience would be allowed to draw graffiti onto the wrestler’s face, arms or body. Whichever wrestler had the least amount of graffiti on him after the 10 minute time limit would become the winner. Hoshitango just about won the match by having one less piece of graffiti written on his body than Sawada. One of the fans drew the Kinnikuman mark on Hoshitango’s forehead.
Sanshiro Takagi noticed there is a lack of anti-establishment in DDT at the moment. “Too many guys are kissing the ass of Tsurumi Amon,” he said. He will be forming a new unit to cause some trouble and is inviting anyone interested in joining him to face him in a tryout match at the 22/01 Chiba show.
