To celebrate the Japanese tradition of White Day, where men give gifts to women one month after St. Valentine’s Day, DDT will be holding a contest for its more handsome members of the roster. At the end of the show, all of the female fans leaving Korakuen Hall will receive candy made by the wrestlers themselves in return for their ticket stubs. A prize will be given to the wrestler who collects the most ticket stubs at the end of the contest.

Gota Ihashi makes his long delayed return to wrestling to face KUDO in the opening match. If the name sounds familiar, it is because Gota Ihashi origianlly began as a low card parody of Kota Ibushi. He is a chubby wrestler with only a couple years of experience but he is able to duplicate Ibushi’s Low Kick, Standing Moonsault combo. Ihashi suffered ligament damage to both of his knees in March 2010 and has been out of action ever since. However, he stayed under contract with DDT and became a chef for one of their restaurants. He is now finally cleared to enter the ring once again.

Before the show began, a contract signing was held for the main event of the 22nd March Hard Hit event to be held in Shinjuku. The main event will be Hikaru Sato versus the president and current middleweight King Of Pancrase, Ryo Kawamura.

Tsurumi Amon announced that the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title will be defended in DDT at their 1st April Korakuen Hall event. But before that happens, current champion Kenny Omega is defending the championship against Shuji Kondo over in All Japan on 20th March. The title match in DDT will still go ahead if Kenny loses the title to Kondo. Amon also announced that Shuji Kondo & Kaz Hayashi will compete in a tag team match on DDT’s 11th March show in Korakuen. Keisuke Ishii nominated himself and Shigehiro Irie to face the visiting team on that date.

The Dissidants attacked Crying Wolf after Match #4. It ended with Takao Soma striking Yasu Urano with the Boma Ye. Before the match began, Hiroshi Fukuda bragged that he could Perfect Plex all three of his opponents together at the same time. That did not happen.

The 11/3 Korakuen Hall show will have a special White Day themed contest featuring the more attractive members of DDT’s roster handing out candy to the women in the audience in exchange for ticket stubs. The contestants are HARASHIMA, KUDO, Kota Ibushi, MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi, Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Keisuke Ishii and Takao Soma. Also, Gota Ihashi will finally return to the ring for the first time since 2010 to take on KUDO in a singles match.

Tsurumi Amon will be absent for DDT’s return to Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 18th March. He is currently looking for a temporary replacement GM to take his spot on that show.
