What are you doing reading this? The show was almost entirely in English, you don’t need to be here!
The show began with “CDK” in the ring welcoming the viewers. “Chris Brookes” & “Masahiro Takanashi” promoted the two matches in flawless English.
Despite this show being produced by Brookes, he was in the opener instead of the main event. He promised months ago to hunt chins in DDT so he was fighting the biggest chin of all, Miyu Yamashita! The match began with Mr. HAKU and Shota on the commentary call. Yamashita got some early kicks in but Brookes took control when he threw her arm into the ring post and then whipped her into the Shin-Kiba 1st RING shutter gate. Brookes also hit a big Double Arm Suplex from the top rope. Yamashita took hard chops from Brookes but kept him at bay with Middle Kicks and a High Kick. She then escaped from the Praying Mantis Bomb and rocked Brookes with the Skull Kick to make it an even playing field. Brookes kicked out of a German Suplex and turned the tables with a Tombstone nearfall. Yamashita avoided the Praying Mantis Bomb again and tried another Skull Kick but Brookes met her with a Jumping Knee Strike. Brookes then hit the Praying Mantis Bomb for the win. The two shook hands after the match. In his post-match interview, Brookes noticed calls on Twitter for Yamashita to challenge for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title. He said in his interview that there is no reason for DDT to refuse it. Brookes is happy to defend the belt against women and he’s sure the fans will support that idea.
What makes the main event a SUPER HARDCORE HARDCORE MATCH? Well Shunma Katsumata showed up in his Super Hardcore form and Drew Parker was also in a violent mood when he assaulted “Takanashi” backstage before the match. Katsumata was quick to attack Parker with the Lego covered baseball bat. He ordered the shutter door to open up while he attacked Parker outside the ring. The two climbed on top of a van parked outside and Parker did a Russian Leg Sweep onto the roof. Parker then followed up by climbing a nearby scaffold and diving onto Parker and Keigo Nakamura. The match then went SUPER HARDCORE back inside when Katsumata stapled Parker’s lip to the ring apron! Parker got a little revenge when he threw Katsumata into a castle of chairs. He continued the chair assault inside the ring until Katsumata Dropkicked the chairs into him. That’s when a buckets of lego and gashapon toys were emptied across the ring. After some painful slams onto the toys, Parker brought in a ladder and climbed it only to get a Sunset Flip Power Bomb to the canvas. Katsumata piled chairs onto Parker and hit the Stuka Splash for a two count. Katsumata climbed the corner again but Parker stopped him by pressing bamboo skewers into his forehead! Parker was left in pain from his own doing when he missed a Swanton Bomb and also the table Katsumata rolled off of. Back in the ring Katsumata was hit with chairs and his only reaction was to give Parker the middle finger. Parker gave him a Piledriver for a close nearfall. He then finished him off with the Swanton Bomb. The two butted their fists together after the match.
The second half of the show was an interview HAKU held with Brookes and Parker. Brookes explained that Sanshiro Takagi wanted him to produce a show for the international DDT fans. Brookes made the matches based on who the fans on social media like as well as providing matches that DDT had never booked before. Also Parker is Brookes’ mate. They talked about how much Katsumata loves wrestling in hardcore matches. Brookes said Yamashita was the first wrestler from Tokyo Joshi Pro he was aware of because she visited England for a match one year ago. He felt she was the best fit out of Tokyo Joshi to be his opponent today. There was a confession that the show was deliberately named “SHINKIBA NO FANS EXTRAVAGANZA #1” because Brookes wants to hold more shows in the future. HAKU asked about potential guests for those shows and Brookes was surprised to see Takagi consider all of his ideas instead of shooting them down for being unrealistic. Finally, Parker impersonated Daisuke Sekimoto during a story about Sekimoto’s taste in women told through broken English.
