The challengers were without Chris Brookes for the main event but made up for it by bringing in the ChocoPro cheering section. They were there to support Masahiro Takanashi & Mei Suruga along with Brooke’s replacement HARASHIMA in the main event. Eruption were not moved by the touching gesture though. The spotlight was going to shine on Saki Akai today because it is her last match in Kyoto. Hideki Okatani took the brunt of the challenger’s teamwork. Yukio Sakaguchi got a direct hit on Takanashi with the God’s Right Knee which led to Akai pinning him with the Quetzalcoatl.

Earlier in the show MAO pinned Kazuki Hirata to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title during a Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match. During the match Hirata found a piano and took the time to play it. Everyone then fought outside the building over to the DDT bus where Yoshihiko was found sitting on the driver’s seat. Anyway at the end of the show everyone got together for a group photo. Hirata tried to roll up MAO to win his title back but failed. Akai then rolled up MAO and succeeded to become a triple crown champion! However the show ended with Hirata rolling up Akai to win the Iron Man Title back. He ran off while everyone booed.

Takeshi Masada’s quest to enter the D-Oh Grand Prix already hit a bump in the road when he lost to KANON. He isn’t letting that hurt his chances. He believes if he can beat Yukio Naya tomorrow then he will definitely be invited to enter the tournament. KANON does not agree with that. He thinks he is more deserving of a spot than Masada. His goal is to win the D-Oh GP while holding the KO-D Tag Team Title.
