Today was supposed to be the first preliminary tag match between Chris Brookes and Yuki Ueno but Ueno had a flu and missed the show. This mean Brookes did not get the full hot sauna experience from The 37KAMIINA but he tried to make up for it by going to a public bath earlier in the day. He said he felt good after having his first match in almost three weeks. In fact he’s more worried about Kazuki Hirata’s chances over defending the DDT Extreme Title against Takeshi Masada soon. MAO appreciated Yukio Naya coming in to take Ueno’s place on short notice. He also admits he is torn over who to support between Brookes and Ueno.
A lot of new people have shown up in DDT since Kouki Iwasaki was last here. But not matter what changes here, as long as Kazusada Higuchi is in DDT Iwasaki will always come back to fight him again. Higuchi was happy to see him too. He was in a match with Kota Umeda not that long ago and will be reunited with Ryota Nakatsu again soon. Higuchi will always appreciate his DNA classmates but wants everyone to remember he was always DNA’s number one. Masada was excited over his team winning because he gets to keep the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. However Higuchi warned him they will be enemies tomorrow.
Sanshiro Takagi got his team to build a “Sapporo Castle” out of chairs at ringside. Kazuma Sumi was tasked with guarding the castle but Eruption threw him into it causing the chairs to collapse. Eruption were able to win the match but Yukio Sakaguchi came out of it favouring his knees because Makoto Oishi targeted them. He tried not to make a big deal out of it, saying he will kill Takagi tomorrow even on just one leg! Takagi said is Sakaguchi does kill him he will report him to the police right away. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match will go ahead tomorrow and Takagi promises his team will win it fair and square.
Danshoku Dieno used different tactics against Akito in their first singles match against each other since the end of Pheromones. Dieno’s entrance music was replaced with “Ride Of The Valkyries” and he entered the ring behind Akito’s back to ambush him Yoshiaki Fujiwara style. Dieno also brought out Yoshihiko to attack Akito with. However when he gave Akito the Lip Lock, Akito overpowered Dieno and pinned him on his back for the victory. Akito explained afterwards that because of all the Pheromones that was spread over DDT, everybody has gradually developed an immunity to Danshoku style! He said even Yuki Iino has a more powerful Danshoku style than Dieno has now. He warned Dieno that his opponent tomorrow Yusuke Okada will show the same immunity against him. Dieno stuck up his middle finger to Akito and walked out the ring.
