After dispatching Hikaru Sato in the main event, Danshoku Dino nominated Sanshiro Takagi & Masa Takanashi as the top two challengers for his KO-D Openweight Title. Takanashi and Takagi will face each other in a No. 1 Contender’s match on 18th March. The winner will face Dino for the title when DDT returns to Korakuen Hall for their double header with Union on 1st April.
The Anti-Establishment Unit are now the KO-D Tag Team Champions! In his third shot at the belts, Takao Soma finally made it all the way and won his first championship in his career. He and Sanshiro Takagi are now planning to defend the title as many different promotions as possible. Tsurumi Amon is not happy at the recent turn of events and refuses to allow Takagi & Soma to defend the KO-D Tag Team Title outside of DDT. Takagi ignored him and listed a number of different promotions to defend the belt in. Places like New Japan, Dragon Gate, Big Japan, Diamond Ring and Okinawa Pro Wrestling were all suggested only for Tsurumi to shoot down each idea. Tsurumi then accidentaly mentioned that a GUTS World show was going to take place in Kitasenju later. That gave Takagi and Soma the idea to crash that show and lay out a challenge to the GUTS roster.
After match #5, Shigehiro Irie predicted that Kenny Omega would defeat Shuji Kondo in All Japan on 20th March. Then on 1st April, Irie will have dropped enough weight to challenge and defeat Kenny Omega to win the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Irie then said he will nominate Shuji Kondo as his first challenger. Shuji Kondo praised Irie in a backstage interview after the match, calling his performance “tremendous”. Meanwhile Keisuke Ishii was upset with losing the match to Kondo and Kaz Hayashi. He felt he was not ready to have fought Hayashi so soon. However, he does want to face Kaz Hayashi again, this time in a singles match.
Kana got a nice little White Day gift in the form of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The belt began changing hands before the Battle Royal even took place. The champion at the beginning of the show was Antonio Honda. While he was explaining the rules of the match to the competitors, Poison JULIE Sawada ambushed him and won the title. When the match finally took place, Sawada was pinned by Michael Nakazawa. Nakazawa then made the mistake of provoking Kana by asking if she wanted the silver belt or his “golden axe”. Kana knocked him out and became champion. Honda was next to win the belt with under a minute remaining but Kana immediately trapped him in a Cross Armbreaker to win back the belt and complete the Battle Royal as champion. She later became one of the few champions to successfully defend the belt when an ambush by Nakazawa backstage failed and left him choked out by the champion.
Two brand new DDT wrestlers will both be making their debut in the next couple of weeks. The first to debut is Takashi Dai. He will have his first match in Hakata Star Lanes on 20th March. The second is Tetsuya Endo, who will debut in Korakuen Hall on 1st April.
DDT announced that El Generico will compete at the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall!
Kota Ibushi will be the stand-in General Manager for the “NON-FIX 3.18 SPECIAL” at Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week.
Two prizes were announced for the Battle Royal that will take place on 1st April. The Anytime & Anywhere Contract will be hung above the ring and will go to whoever can take it down. The winner of the Battle Royal itself will get the KO-D Title shot on the 4th May Korakuen show.
A one minute’s silence dedicated to the victims of last year’s earthquake and tsunami took place at the end of the show.
