Taking a page from Michinoku Pro’s annual Great Space War, DDT tried doing a Ring Removal Death Match for the first time today. From the moment the bell rang, a cleanup crew of wrestlers all began to deconstruct the ring while the actual match participants tried to fight each other without getting in the way. The environment became more dangerous as the match progressed because the ring got more bare. Danshoku Dieno tried to put the ring back together then started arguing with the cleanup crew, causing Akito to add a new rule. The crew would be paid double for the day and be treated to an all you can eat meal if they could complete the deconstruction before the match ends! Also the match was now Falls Count Anywhere because the fighting was breaking out into the audience anyway. The ring was taken down to just one last corner post but when Yuya Koroku directed everyone to carry it out, a mystery figure appeared and knocked him out with a hammer. It was Kazuki Hirata and he pinned Koroku to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! With no ring left, Dieno had to resort to giving Yuni the Danshoku Driver onto a pile of beer cans nearby to win the match. His team was rewarded with a year long exemption from being in the cleanup crew for DDT events held inside Ueno Park.

News came on short notice that Daisuke Sasaki would not be at the show today. Overnight he remembered a news story from 1993 about a crocodile being sighted at Shakujii Park in Nerima Ward. He thought about it all night and didn’t get enough sleep to be able to wrestle today. His replacement was Crocodile D Sasa but the costume was eventually ripped off to reveal it was Sasaki all along. The match itself had Strange Love Connection and DAMNATION T.A all fighting each other around rubber pools filled with inflatable crocodiles. Hideki Okatani briefly disappeared only to return with somebody dressed in a horse costume. That was somehow the difference maker.

There were other Iron Man Title changes that happened earlier on the show. Daichi Sato rolled up his partner Koroku and got a three count but because he was also holding Bunbun at the time, Yukinori Matsui declared it was Bunbun who pinned Koroku and was now the champion! Antonio Honda later fought Bunbun during the actual match and pinned the puppet with the Tenzan Tombstone Driver. Koroku then submitted Honda to win back the belt and held onto it until Hammer Hirata’s attack during the main event.

Rukiya was in the corner coaching and cheering on Hinata Kasai for Kasai’s match with Yuki Ueno. Sadly it did not result in Kasai getting his first victory. At the end of the show Kasai and Rukiya looked like they were going to fight each other but instead they embraced and bowed to the fans.
