6. Only Because It Is! Hakata Specialty Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Takeshita pinned Honda with the German Suplex (22:53).

The Gongitsune set up was well scouted by Yuki Ueno. When Antonio Honda stumbled and hurt his knee after a leapfrog, Ueno Dropkicked him in the knees and told everyone they really are sore from sleeping in the tour bus all night long. Danshoku Dieno kept his team in the match when he stopped the WR by grabbing Ueno’s crotch. Honda misdirected Konosuke Takeshita into hitting Ueno with a Lariat and Dieno then gave Ueno a long Lip Lock. He only broke it up to stop Takeshita’s Figure 4 Leg Lock on Honda. Honda hit the Diving Fist Drop but hurt his knee, delaying the pin and only getting him a two count. Honda successfully lured in his opponents with a retirement speech to ambush them with the Hell Gate charged Gongitsune. Ueno recovered to Dropkick Dieno out of the ring and then hit a Plancha on him. Takeshita traded knuckle punches with Honda that ended with a Super Kick and a Lariat double down. Takeshita recovered first and pinned Honda with the German Suplex.

After the match Takeshita told Ueno about the time Dieno gave him his first kiss when he was just a fan in the audience at a DDT show. A few years later, Ueno went to a DDT show and decided to become a wrestler when he saw Takeshita and Honda wrestle as Happy Motel. They are classmates from the same high school fighting against a team of former roommates. How does that make Ueno feel? He said it was rather creepy. Honda took back his retirement speech and said he will wrestle for another 50 years. Dieno said it’s been a long time since he was in a main event and he secretly wanted to change the atmosphere in DDT with Honda by winning. Instead they lost but he is still very proud to see fans come out to watch them today.

Again Tetsuya Endo is calling out Jun Akiyama and asking where he is. He doesn’t have time to waste fighting the rest of Junretsu while Akiyama is on vacation. Daisuke Sasaki corrected him and said he is recovering inside a hospital in Osaka. Endo wants a message send to Akiyama saying Endo will beat him on 14th February. Endo also thinks Yusuke Okada should stop fighting for Akiyama and start fighting for himself. He will still lose to Endo but Endo thinks they can have a slightly better match that way. The four of them all agreed they want to share pro wrestling with everyone.

Yuto Aijima did a lot to throw Kazuki Hirata off his game. He politely shook hands when Hirata expected aggression and he seemed to be weak against Toru Owashi only to regain his strength when Hirata tagged in. The big trick he had was using Keigo Nakamura and Tessho as his doppelgangers to guard him from Hirata’s Tegatana strikes. Even HARASHIMA was confused but he reckons he was only seeing things because the match left him tired.

Akito teased Sanshiro Takagi by using the Stunner on Nakamura before submitting him. When Akito applied the Sharpshooter he did Takagi’s “Fire” pose to wind him up even more.
