A message exchange on Twitter has led to Jun Akiyama becoming a temporary coach for the DDT roster. Originally Akiyama was supposed to be a guest coach for WWE in at their Performance Center this month but that plan was postponed because of COVID-19. WWE’s loss is DDT’s gain and Sanshiro Takagi invited Akiyama to pass along his King’s Road knowledge to the DDT roster instead.
Akiyama is eager to teach the DDT roster everything that Giant Baba taught him. He is also open to wrestling matches with the DDT wrestlers if the timing works out. After all he learned a lot in his early years by wrestling the likes of Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue and Toshiaki Kawada. One of the young wrestlers he is interested in teaching is Konosuke Takeshita. They wrestled each other in a few tag matches back in 2016 and Akiyama was impressed by Takeshita’s ring sense. Akiyama’s policy as a coach will be acting like a “demon teacher” so don’t expect him to go lightly on anybody. He will appear on tomorrow’s DDT TV SHOW to greet the fans watching at home.
