*SCHADENFREUDE International fails in V1. ShunMao becomes the 84th KO-D Tag Team Champions!
ShunMao have won the KO-D Tag Team Titles they had to give up almost a year and a half ago! The match was supposed to be held under regular tag rules but chaos broke out immediately when the two teams tried attacking each other with the title belts. Right after that a brawl broke out with everybody from both SCHADENFREUDE International and The 37KAMIINA. Things calmed down only to get chaotic again after Yukinori Matsui suffered from a ref bump. ShunMao could have gotten the win earlier when they gave Takeshi Masada the Our Mad Max but the replacement ref Daisuke Kiso was then knocked out by Chris Brookes. With no refs around at all, more weapons were brought into the match like staplers and plastic boxes. Matsui got his senses back but the title belts were still kept around to be used as weapons. Masada used one of the belts to shield himself from Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash. He then hit MAO with the belt but MAO countered his finisher into the Michinoku Driver II onto the same belt. MAO then put Masada in the Just Face Lock and morphed it into the Dick Killer variation to make him tap out.
MAO told everyone after the match that he still has a lot of ideas that he’s been saving up for this new title run and he wants to do them all even if it means he’ll get scolded a lot. He gave credit to Masada and admitted he underestimated him. He has become a great SCHADENFREUDE-like wrestler and deserves to be considered one of ShunMao’s rivals along with CDK. He also suggested the next time these four wrestlers face each other it should be a match with all of the ring ropes taken down! Hisaya Imabayashi then informed ShunMao they will have a title defence on 3rd October and asked if they have any suggestions for challengers. They remembered Makoto Oishi’s final day of his DDT contract is on that date so they want to defend the titles against him. Oishi walked out with Danshoku Dieno and said he wants ShunMao to be his final opponents as a DDT wrestler. He also wants to win the tag titles with Dieno because they never held those belts together before. MAO called Oishi his master and said it is an apprentice’s job to make things easier for their master. Without Oishi, ShunMao would have never become champions so they agreed to face Oishi & Dieno on 3rd October. Backstage MAO warned that it is also an apprentice’s job to deliver the final blow on their master.
Oishi’s last DDT singles match with Yuki Ueno took place before the main event. Dieno was in his corner cheering him on particularly when Ueno tried to beat Oishi with ground work. Oishi got a hold of Ueno by the legs and put him in the Fujiyama Knee Lock but Ueno countered it into a Sleeper Hold. Ueno used the hold for another counter and switched it into the WR to get the three count. Oishi praised Ueno backstage and called him the face of DDT. The match reminded Oishi he’s been in an amazing place like DDT for the last 13 years. Dieno then told Oishi there is something they haven’t done together yet, which led to the challenge at the end of the show.
Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami announced the time has come for him to change his focus to a certain company with the letter “G” in its name so FIRE DAMNATION are ceasing activities as of today. But Kawakami promises it will come back whenever he returns to DDT.
At the recent No Spoiler Beer Garden show Kazuki Hirata reverted by to his rookie form. He forgot to revert back because he appeared for his match in his old gear using his old entrance music. Akito was confused but went along with it for five minutes. He then got on the microphone and said it was a nice reminder of their earlier days of wrestling each other but he would like to fight the current day Hirata now. Hirata felt unsure a pair of Hirata GO! glasses were brought into the ring. Hirata and Akito put them on, danced while wrestling and then Hirata shockingly pinned Akito with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win the match and take the Right To Challenge Shield! Hirata wasn’t happy though and he held the Shield with digust. He is still thinking like a rookie and is more concerned about doing his behind the scenes chores rather than worry about winning a championship.
