The first edition of the new “D GENERATIONS” sub-series showed just high a mountain there is for DDT’s young wrestlers to climb. In the six matches pitting the D GENERATION against veterans and outsiders they were only able to win one match. It is a challenge that their predecessors from the Young Communication generation faced back when they ran shows similar to this for little to no money. Keisuke Ishii made it clear after the main event that his generation have the pride needed to win their matches today. The D GENERATIONS though are too dependant on DDT and the softer modern day wrestling environment. If any of the D GENERATION wrestlers were to step outside of DDT, would they be able to survive in this industry for five or ten years? The veterans here don’t think so. The complaints from Ishii, Soma Takao, Shota and Shigehiro Irie at the end of the show caused a standoff to happen between the two generations in the ring. The likes of To-y and Keigo Nakamura said they don’t care about the past or about money. This series is for the young wrestlers to show their dreams to everyone. They also would like to make a little profit and fill out the seats at the same time.
There was a press conference put together on short notice for Keigo Nakamura to make an announcement. He is going on an indefinite overseas excursion! Over the last few months Nakamura has lost important matches in places like the DDT Vs NOAH rivalry, the D GENERATIONS CUP and most recently the KO-D Tag Team Titles challenge with Shinya Aoki. By the way he hasn’t told Aoki about this plan yet. Nakamura feels like he has reached a turning point and needs to make a change which is why he will travel abroad for training. He will be doing it independantly so he can grow by himself. His final match in Japan before going on excursion will be at the 23rd April DDT show.
