KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Falls Count Anywhere Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Michael Nakazawa with the One-Winged Angel (35:59).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.
Michael Nakazawa was in serious mode when he took on Kenny Omega for the KO-D Championship at today’s special one match show in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Stakes were raised when Kenny added a Falls Count Anywhere rule to the Last Man Standing stipulation. Kenny wanted to make sure his friend was going to take this match seriously. He asked Michael if he wanted to wear his nurse’s outfit with the leather whip included. Michael refused. Kenny then offered Michael a bottle of lotion but that was also rejected. Kenny then took a swig of the bottle and sprayed Michael in the face with a mist of lotion. Michael attacked Kenny out of anger and the match began.
Throughout the 35 minute war, Kenny pinned Nakazawa with the Reverse Frankensteiner, the Croyt’s Wrath and a Doctor Bomb. Nakazawa was able to pin the champion after a Spear through the ropes, crashing into a table set up at ringside. He also got a pinfall after a few chairshots over the head, which Nakazawa apologised for as he struck Kenny over the head with them. However, the end finally came when Omega pinned Nakazawa with the One-Winged Angel followed by the complete 10 count from the referee. Shigehiro Irie came out to confront the champion he will face at Korakuen Hall on 20th March but the two settled their brief meeting with a handshake.
Kenny told the audience to all stand up and cheer for Michael. He was super happy to defend the title against his friend in an amazing match. Michael thanked Kenny and the fans, said today was painful but he did his best. They both hugged and Kenny left with his final words “This is really Michael Nakazawa. This is real DDT Pro Wrestling.”
