*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.

At last DAMNATION T.A have secured a successful first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence. It took them four title reigns to finally get it done. Maybe it is because they took on a team from The 37KAMIINA that aren’t performing at their absolute best at the moment. To-y went into the title match already hurting because he again tried to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield on Yuki Iino and took a Spear from the DDT Universal Champion. Or perhaps we should just give credit where it’s due and accept DAMNATION T.A succeeded through hard work… and good old fashioned cheating. During the match Daisuke Sasaki knocked Shunma Katsumata off the top rope onto some chairs set up at ringside. Katsumata later tried to attack Sasaki with a chair but the referee grabbed it off him. That allowed Sasaki to get him in the Crossface Lock and win by submission. KANON said they have now escaped the curse of zero defence title reigns. Sasaki wants to go celebrate by drinking around Susukino all night long.

It turns out MAO has high expectations for Keigo Nakamura and wanted to see how he would fare against a team like Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA. They even came close to winning a few times. Nakamura was able to trap Aoki in an Ankle Lock and it was only broken up because HARASHIMA Body Slammed MAO on top of him. Aoki was then able to out-wrestle Nakamura on the canvas and pin his arms to the mat for the three count to win the match. MAO said nobody realizes just how much of an amazing wrestler Nakamura is. He thinks one of these days he might send him off on excursion somewhere.

Chris Brookes pinned Danshoku Dieno in their 6-Man Tag Match to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. He now holds three different championships (Iron Man, KO-D Tag Team Titles and KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles) so he should be recognized as a Triple Crown champ! However he has a singles match with Dieno scheduled for tomorrow and he suggested it should be a Birmingham Style Match. Dieno accepted the challenge because he will do anything to win back the Iron Man Title. Oh, and Brookes is happy that Ilusion was on the winning team today. Ilusion’s reward is he gets to carry the three championship belts for Brookes.

Takeshi Masada said he would never had joined DDT if it wasn’t for Makoto Oishi. Even after Masada made his debut Oishi has been there to give him advice and do other kind things for him. It was even Oishi’s recommendation that Masada changed his gear from long pants to short tights. Masada definitely wants to have another singles match with Oishi in DDT some day so he can win perfectly next time.
