4. BEST OF THE SUPER Ohka: Kengo Ohka defeated Ken Ohka with the Shinken (17:14).
5. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Ishikawa pinned Sekine with the Splash Mountain onto the roses (19:39).

The 1,000 Roses Death Match contained many weapons that were covered in roses. They included a table, a ladder and two boards that were laid against opposite corners. Despite not sounding as dangerous as your typical death match, blood did flow from the wrestlers as they fought. After the match, Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka shook hands.

Cherry defeated Mio Shirai to prevent one of the greatest secrets in puroresu from being unveiled… her age. Cherry was forced to bring her passport to Shin-Kiba to use as proof of her age if she had to reveal it. The passport was kept in a safe backstage while Cherry fought the 24 year old Mio. When the match was over, the safe was given back to Cherry. But when she opened it, the passport was replaced by a hand written note. The note said “I have your passport. If you want it back, fight me. GAMI.” Cherry was upset that her passport was stolen. Not only is her age at risk from being made public, but Cherry now cannot travel overseas. She accepted GAMI’s challenge and thanked the fans for supporting her.

New Sanshiro Takagi and New Keizo Matsuda will face each other in a singles match at Union’s return to Korakuen Hall on 4th May. El Generico will also return on that show.

Hiroshi Fukuda’s promise to win his match with the Perfect Plex did not happen. He had to take a spray can from ringside and strike Rion Mizuki over the head with it and then roll him over with a School Boy to get his hand raised. Fukuda’s mentor Rumi Kazama was not pleased with his performance and she gave him a Buzzsaw Kick as punishment. Kazama stormed off backstage and left Fukuda crying in the ring.

Union’s relationship with New Beijing Pro Wrestling is coming back to life. Choun-Shiryu, Cao Zhang and Princess Makoto will all return on Union’s 8th April event in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

6. Next KO-D Title Challenger: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Masa Takanashi with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (17:02).

Sanshiro Takagi is now the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. Takagi remembers when Danshoku Dino defeated him to become the champion seven years ago. Now he wants the roles to reverse and go on to Budokan Hall as the KO-D Champion, where Minoru Suzuki will be waiting for him. Meanwhile, Takagi told Takao Soma that he wants them to defend the KO-D Tag Team Title at least 30 times before the 15th Anniversary show takes place, even if it means defending the belts every day. They are also open to a rematch with the former champions Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino.

Shigehiro Irie claimed that he weighed himself before the show and was now 105kg, making him eligable for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title match DDT is scheduled to hold in Korakuen Hall on 1st April. Interim GM Kota Ibushi and current champion Kenny Omega weren’t so sure he was telling the truth, so they brought a weighing scale down to the ring and weighed him. Irie’s weight was actually 105.5kg. Kenny suggested that Irie would reach the target if he took all of his clothes off while Ibushi kept on saying “105.5kg” over and over. Irie shook Kenny’s hand and promised he would reach the weight limit to get his title match.

Crying Wolf scored a major victory over Homoiro Clover Z in an 8-Man Tag Team Elimination match. Yuji Hino proved to be the difference maker despite costing his own team an elimination near the end. Danshoku Dino was left dumbfounded by his team’s defeat. DJ Nira appeared and stirred some trouble by blaming Hiroshi Fukuda for not dancing hard enough to the Momoiro Clover Z music they play during matches for motivation. Fukuda took offence and said he is not the weak link of the group. To prove it, Fukuda will face the debuting Tetsuya Endo on April 1st.

The theme for Match #3 was “Students Pro Wrestling” where HARASHIMA and GENTARO used gimmicks from their college pro wrestling days. HARASHIMA wrestled as Ashura while GENTARO was Hachibe.

DDT announced that Genba Hirayanagi from Pro Wrestling NOAH will compete for them on the 1/4 Korakuen Hall show.
