Today’s show was a charity event DDT held along with Yoshiaki Yatsu and the Japan Para-Wrestling Federation. Every match on the card had a local sponsor attached to it. During the show Yatsu announced that the Federation recently became a non-profit organization. He is the only athlete attached to it so far but he thinks there will be more disabled wrestlers and martial artists joining him in the future. He also said DDT was the first place to let him wrestle using his prosthetic leg. When he competes in amateur wrestling bouts he cannot wear the leg and has to start from the mount position. He admits it hurts to put on the leg but once he steps into the ring the pain goes away. Then the leg becomes a useful weapon!

One of the guests on the show was Martin-san from the NTV show ZIP! He was the ring announcer for Match #2 and was also supposed to give a bouquet of flowers to his favorite wrestler Danshoku Dieno before Match #3. However Kazuma Sumi charged Yuki Iino, starting the match before Martin could hand over the gift. Iino instantly pinned Sumi with a Lariat. The whole thing made Hisaya Imabayashi mad because DDT was embarrassing Martin. He ordered an immediate rematch and decided whoever scored the pin would receive the bouquet from Martin as well as a kiss. Needless to say that was all the motivation Dieno needed to pin Sumi with the Danshoku Driver. He got his prizes from Martin afterwards.

Another guest at the show was retired wrestler Naohiro Hoshikawa. He stood out of his wheelchair to greet the fans and received applause in return. Hoshikawa had wrestled for Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro and ZERO1 until a subdural hematoma suffered during a match in 2004 ended his wrestling career.
