DDT “JUDGEMENT 2021 ~DDT 24TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 28/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

So far in his career, Kazusada Higuchi is 0-4 in KO-D Openweight Title matches. His chase for the title is unique compared to others because he had his very first title shot only 6 months after his debut. He understands the weight that comes with holding the title is and he is also one of the few DDT wrestlers speaking up against Jun Akiyama’s growing influence in the promotion. Higuchi decided to go back to his starting point, which is sumo. That is why he wrestled barefoot in his most recent match against Akiyama that ended in a double countout. Akiyama thinks this is the biggest flaw with DDT’s roster. These wrestlers don’t look outside their own company for ideas whereas he has done a lot of things in different promotions. That is how he was able to walk into DDT and become their coach and then their champion. He gave Higuchi an ultimatum over DDT’s training sessions. If Akiyama wins then Higuchi will have to say yes to every order that is given to him. But if Higuchi wins then Akiyama will not say a word to him from now on.

Team Thoroughbred are confident in their chances of winning the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles. According to Sanshiro Takagi, the opposing team captain Shinya Aoki is scared of facing powerful opponents. When Team Thoroughbred become champions, Takagi wants to expand the group to include second generation stars from other sports and forms of entertainment. His ideal amount is to mentor seven 2nd generation celebrities so they can dominate pro wrestling as the Seven Lights Of Parentage!

Chris Brookes is currently in discussions with DDT over his first DDT Extreme Title defence. He wants to remove all restrictions and have title defences outside of the usual Korakuen Hall shows. The perfect choice for his first defence is at his third self-produced DDT show that is scheduled to take place in April. His preferred opponent? Mecha Mummy!
