A packed Korakuen Hall crowd came to see the final DDT event for 2010 where Antonio Honda became the man to lead DDT into the new year. With Dick Togo out of action the original “Mentor Vs Student” main event of Togo Vs Honda was called off and the KO-D Openweight Title was declared inactive until Togo’s return. The replacement main event became Honda Vs GENTARO for an Interim KO-D Championship. A full house watched for 25 minutes as the two men gave their all but in the end it was Honda who clasped GENTARO in the Octopus Hold, forcing the veteran freelancer to submit. Afterwards Honda admitted to having mixed feelings towards winning the match, most likely because he couldn’t face Togo, but he got grand ovation from the packed Hall as he was presented the Interim Title.

The Golden Lovers had a slight disadvantage going into their IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles defence against Jado & Gedo. A few days ago in New Japan, Kota Ibushi was in a main event that stood as a preview to the upcoming Tokyo Dome spectacle. Despite coming out on the winning team, Ibushi was left with a minor injury to his left knee. Jado & Gedo targeted Ibushi’s left knee and used dirty tactics such as removing turnbuckle pads to take advantage of the match. However, Kenny Omega was there for his BFF and turned the tables in their favour, focusing their attacks on Gedo and finally pinning him with the Croyt’s Wrath.

The Danshoku Dino Vs Makoto Oishi match was, well…weird. Backstage, KUDO approached Tsurumi Amon asking to replace Yukinori Matsui as the referee for the match. Oishi stepped in and said he had no problem with KUDO’s offer. While the match went on, Matsui was seen backstage making his way to ringside, unaware that the match was taking place without him. Amon tried to stop Matsui from walking out by putting him in a Headlock. When that failed, he took out a bottle of laxatives and physically forced Matsui to drink it. Back in the ring Dino and Oishi were having their back and forth battle, leading to both men knoced out on the canvas. Backstage Matsui recovered from his sudden dose and got revenge on the DDT General Manager, forcing him to drink the laxative. With Amon out of the way, Matsui made his way to ringside. On the way he bumped into (and knocked out) Michael Nakazawa. He then walked past a dressing room with a sign saying it was being used by bikini idol and part-time wrestler Aika Ando. Tempted to sneak a peak, Matsui opened the door only to see Emi Sakura from Ice Ribbon getting changed. Feeling nauseous at the sight of Sakura half naked, Matsui walked away and then found two chihuahuas at the end of the hallway. Back in the ring, Dino had Oishi right where he wanted him and began dry humping the poor guy. KUDO’s reaction to this? He brought out a blanket and placed it over Dino and Oishi. Matsui finally came to ringside, carrying one of the chihuahuas he found. When he saw what was going on in the ring he called for the match to end. KUDO tried to stop him with a Buzzsaw Kick but Matsui dodged it and struck KUDO with a Rocket Punch. He finally ended the match in a No Contest. Oishi wasn’t happy with the result, mainly because he wasn’t sure if it meant he had to join Dino’s version of MEN’s Club. Tsurumi Amon came out to try and solve the problem when KUDO bravely stepped forward and offered himself to take Oishi’s spot in Dino’s group. Then Matsui offered to take the spot. Then the chihuahua Matsui was holding lifted its paw, asking for the spot. Then the room darkened and a spotlight shone on Masa Takanashi in the audience, and he dramatically offered to take Oishi’s place. Then Ken Ohka showed up to take the spot. Soon the entire audience had their hands raised. Makoto Oishi was so touched at what he just seen that he too raised his hand and asked to take the spot. Everyone in the ring looked at Oiishi and they all said in unison, “By all means!” Oishi wasn’t very happy at being duped afterwards.

Takao Soma has really taken to being the new leader of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation and it showed in his match with Daisuke Sasaki. Due to recent tensions between the two, the loser of the match would be forced to eat dog food. Soma attacked Sasaki from behind while he was making his entrance and proceeded to fight dirty to get the advantage. The rest of the SHF were at ringside and Hikaru Sato was visibly angry at Soma’s actions. Sasaki fought back and even had to fight off Michael Nakazawa and Tomimitsu Matsunaga, but in the end Soma broke a plastic box over Sasaki’s head and then knocked out the referee with a chair shot. Soma dropped Sasaki with a Schwein and then hit the Diving Guillotine Drop for the pin. Nakazawa grabbed the unconcious ref’s hand and made him count to three to end the match. After the match Sasaki followed the stipulation and ate the dog food. Hikaru Sato had enough and said things had gone too far. After some trash talk with his stablemates, Sato said he would eat the dog food himself. However, he instead threw the dog food at Nakazawa’s face and ditched the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation.

Disaster-BOX made their farewell by winning the UWA World Trios Championship from the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. Toru Owashi is taking a leave of absence from DDT but at least he has a title under his belt when he comes back. HARASHIMA thanked Owashi for the time they spent together as a team. Yukihiro Abe promised Owashi that he will become the KO-D Openweight Champion by the time Owashi returns. Owashi told Abe that if it does happens, he should get a title shot. He finished by saying DDT will always be his home and he will come back some day.
