6. BURNING Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku when Sasaki submitted Koroku with the Crossface Lock (10:58).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Akito, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata when Brookes pinned Katsumata with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:11).
Backstage after the show, Shunma Katsumata had a request for MAO. He wants their singles match tomorrow to be turned into a Are You Happy Death Match! All they need to do is laugh and whoever cannot laugh anymore will be the loser.
Daisuke Sasaki took a page out of an old flame’s book. He gave Yuya Koroku the Ball Plex that Candice LeRae used to do on the indies. That set up the Crossface Lock for the finish.
There was a rule change in one of today’s matches. Danshoku Dieno told Yoshitatsu that there match was being held under New York Rules. That means you can only win the match by kissing your opponent while pinning or submitting them. Dieno went for the Lip Lock but caught Yukinori Matsui instead of his opponent. Yoshitatsu plucked up the courage to give Dieno his own Lip Lock and keep it applied to pin him for the three count. He thinks he has room to improve but will take on the challenge of another New York Rules match if anyone ever challenges him to one again.
Keigo Nakamura was thrilled with today’s win because it is the first time he’s ever beaten a veteran! He used a Modified Crucifix Pin on Makoto Oishi as a counter for the Fujiyama Knee Lock to score the win for his team. That also means he just beat one of the previous KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Tomorrow he will face Yuki Ueno in a non-title match but he is so amped up that he will fight as if the KO-D Openweight Title was on the line.
