The King Of DDT semi-finals set for Kyoto KBS Hall on 29/5 are Kenny Omega Vs KUDO and HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie. The big upset in the tournament is Irie defeating Kota Ibushi in the main event, knocking him senseless with Elbow Smash after Elbow Smash.

King Of DDT shows are different from the usual DDT events as the card is filled with tournament matches that are mostly played straight with little comedy involved.

Kenny Omega brought along the JAPW Light Heavyweight Title belt and carried it to the ring for his matches. Makoto Oishi tried to counter the Croyt’s Wrath into a Rolling Cradle but Kenny overpowered him and was able to lift him back up and use his finisher to win.

Antonio Honda wore a Rocky style robe to the ring for his match with Seiya Morohashi.

KUDO and Yasu Urano shook hands before their match. The two were on and off tag team partners for years, culminating with a KO-D Tag Team Title run in 2009. The two went their seperate ways when Urano joined the GRANMA unit while KUDO kept to himself. They had the longest match in the First Round with KUDO getting the well earned win.

Hikaru Sato defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga, getting a little measure of revenge on the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. Sato and Matsunaga shook hands afterwards but Matsunaga then gave Sato a Back Drop. Takao Soma ran in and the two SHF members attacked Sato with a pair of scissors.

Takao Soma interfered in the next match, helping Super Shit Machine defeat Daisuke Sasaki after a ref bump. The plan almost backfired when Sasaki ducked Soma’s Super Kick, leaving Machine to take the blow. Sasaki rolled over Machine with a La Magistral but the ref was still out cold. Machine avoided the NOW OR NEVER and pushed Sasaki into the ropes. Soma leapt up and smashed a steel can over Sasaki’s head. Machine then hit the Lariat and the ref recovered in time to count the pin.

MIKAMI Vs HARASHIMA almost ended in an instant when MIKAMI countered a Big Boot into a School Boy. MIKAMI also survived the High Kick, Reverse Huracanrana and Somato combo to use another School Boy for a nearfall. MIKAMI even busted out the Suicide Bomb but it wasn’t enough. HARASHIMA got the best of his opponent by sliding out of one last School Boy, drilling MIKAMI with a Buzzsaw Kick and rolling over him with a Jackknife Hold for the pin.

Shigehiro Irie defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Locomotion Back Flip, which is two consecutive Vertical Drop Back Flips done without Irie letting go of Ishii.

Kota Ibushi used the Orange Crush to defeat Michael Nakazawa. Only this version was a direct vertical drop, spiking Nakazawa right on his head for a nasty finish to the match.

When the first round was over, DJ Nira entered the ring and sat down in the centre, telling everyone that he had nothing to do tonight. He was eventually joined by Danshoku Dino, Rion Mizuki and Kazuki Hirata. Since all four had nothing to do they decided to hold their own tournament which Nira named the Queen Of DDT. Takao Soma entered the ring to make it a 5-Way to decide who would win the C Block in the tournament. The A Block and B Block are presumably the two finalists in the King Of DDT. Kazuki Hirata was seconds away from submitting DJ Nira when Soma landed the Diving Guillotine Drop to break the hold. Soma then applied a Cross Armbreaker on Nira and immediatly submitted him.

In the Quarter Finals Kenny Omega defeated Seiya Morohashi, KUDO obliterated Hikaru Sato with his High Kicks, HARASHIMA survived SHF interference to eliminate Super Shit Machine and in the biggest shock of the night, Irie knocked out Ibushi with Elbow Smashes and pinned him for the three count.
