DAMNATION’s victory of DISASTER BOX today was followed by a message from Tetsuya Endo to Yuki Ueno. There is still a difference between them and Endo will show Ueno how much at Korakuen Hall. Ueno doesn’t know what the difference is but what he does know is Endo was knocked out on the floor during the finish of today’s match! Ueno gave him the WR which is what took Endo out of the match in the first place. According to Ueno, the strongest wrestler today wasn’t Endo, it was Soma Takao! Ueno respects Endo but today the gap between them has shrunk. This discovery made Endo dizzy and he fell out of the ring in a panic.
The match between Konosuke Takeshita and Yukio Naya had the shadow of Jun Akiyama looming over it. Naya was part of Akiyama-gun’s training session during the week. He got to show a little of what he learned but Takeshita came out on top with the Caballo 2020 submission hold. Both Takeshita and Naya described this match as preparation for the KING OF DDT.
Seigo Tachibana needed to learn a lesson. Yukio Sakaguchi was here to teach it. Sakaguchi purposely entered the ring wearing a suit to remind Tachibana who he is. Danshoku Dieno was in Tachibana’s corner for the match but wanted it to be called off to spare his student from getting a beating. Tachibana bravely opposed Sakaguchi and repeatedly stomped on his hand to get an advantage. Sakaguchi got revenge by stomping on Tachibana’s right little finger. He applied the Sleeper Hold but let go when Tachibana found the strength to stand back up. Sakaguchi quickly put him down again with the God’s Right Knee to win. After the match Sakaguchi said he doesn’t know where Tachibana came from but he likes his guts. Next time they see each other Tachibana should say hello or else Sakaguchi will kill him. When he left, Dieno asked what should Tachibana do next? There is the next Korakuen show coming up and also the Beer Garden series. What does Tachibana want to do? Tachibana said he wants to wrestle for DDT!”
In the 3 Way Match, Akito knocked out Mad Paulie with a Gutwrench Suplex. He then trapped Chris Brookes in a Grapevine Ankle Lock but Brookes crawled on top of Paulie and pinned him while fainting from the pain.
Before the 3 Way Tag match began, Dieno told everyone in the match that he was a demon today. He was so determined to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title it was making him a completely different person. How was he different? He wasn’t wearing underwear beneath his wrestling gear. Everyone understood the risk Dieno was putting them in and did everything they could to prevent him from pulling his tights down during the match. But in a twist, Makoto Oishi showed Dieno that he wasn’t wearing underwear either! This distraction caused Dieno to get pinned by Oishi and the title changed hands.
Looks like the Iron Man Title is heading to America! When Oishi was celebrating with the title when suddenly Yoshihiko appeared for the first time since “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2020”! It beat Oishi with a Sleeper Hold to become the new champion! Yoshihiko brought out a sign for its backstage interview that said “Now I will go to America as DDT Iron Man Champ! Joey Janela: You may be a Bad Boy… But Yoshihiko is a Bad, Bad Man.” Yoshihiko would not answer any questions like how can it travel to America when there is no way to obtain a visa to enter the country right now?
Kazusada Higuchi held Keigo Nakamura in the Oklahoma Stampede mid-move when Antonio Honda paused the match to tell a Gongitsune story. Saki Akai then redirected Honda’s strike into Nakamura’s eyes so Higuchi could finish his move.
Naomi Yoshimura had a brief moment of dread when Hideki Okatani surprised him with a Small Package. It was only a minor setback and Yoshimura went on to win easily.
