6. Special Single Match: KANON defeated To-y with the GURU-GURU Driver (15:49).
There were Chops and Slaps a-flying between KANON and To-y in the main event. To-y went high risk too with a dive over the corner of the ring onto KANON outside. KANON used Lariats to turn the tables on his opponent and soon won the match using the GURU-GURU Driver. With To-y now beaten, KANON then called out Yuki Ueno to get into the ring. Ueno told him he’s strong but the KO-D Openweight Title needs to be carried by someone who can lead DDT towards everyone’s dreams. KANON admitted he isn’t strong mentally but he will win the KO-D Title and prove his worth as a wrestler. He then told the Osaka fans he is about to take on the biggest challenge of his life and when he returns here he will be standing on top of the DDT mountain!
The Toyonaka Tag of Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya were victorious in their match today. Rukiya is so proud of where he comes from that he declared he will become the next tourism ambassador of Toyonaka City! Takagi wants to be part of it too and share the roll with him because there has never been a tag team that became tourism ambassadors before. Takagi later claimed that he has already contacted city officials to put the plan into motion.
When the Handicap Match ended too quickly, everyone agreed to restart it. This time the match used elimination rules that included knocking your opponents out of the ring to eliminate them.
