6. Yamagata Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Hiroshi Yamato when Katsumata pinned Yoshimura with the Firebird Splash (18:37).

The MADMAX followed by the Firebire Splash gave Shunma Katsumata a vital pinfall over Naomi Yoshimura in the build up to the next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Afterwards Katsumata said his bond with Konosuke Takeshita means he is not afraid of HARASHIMA & Yoshimura.

Keigo Nakamura found himself being targeted by Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada. Now Tetsuya Endo was there to preview his D-Ou Grand Prix bout with Akiyama but Akiyama’s focus changed back to Nakamura. When Junretsu won the match, Okada held up Nakamura’s KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Title belt and promised to win it on 12th October.

Gorgeous Matsuno, who is celebrating his 20th anniversary this year, promised to hold a DDT show in Fukushima next year.

It’s a fresh start and a new attitude for Daisuke Sasaki. He is now a babyface! Toru Owashi explained to the fans that Sasaki has done many bad things all across Japan. Starting today he will do what he can to change everybody’s minds about him. Sasaki tried to cut a promo but Owashi slapped him because it sounded too intimidating. Owashi then spent the match watching over Sasaki’s actions to make sure he was acting like the babyface he is now supposed to be. It was clumsy at times but Sasaki won the match clean in the end. After the match Sasaki asked DDT to find him an opponent to defend the DDT Universal Title against.

The Pheromone Clutch Yuki Iino used is similar to the Delfin Clutch, but with a sexy muscle pose. The move is a pin hold and Iino did get a three count but Matsuno may have given up while he was in it. Either way the move turned out to be effective.
