1. No Mystery Brother Was Better Than His Brother!! The Time Has Come For The Oath! Now I More Than You!! ~ Grudge Liquidation Single Match: Tigger Bedscene defeated Dai Suzuki with an Elbow Butt (7:20).
2. Yuko Miyamoto defeated Mizuki Watase with a WAR Special (11:51).
3. Daichi Kazato defeated Suguru Miyatake with the Sister Abigail (12:47).
4. Ryota Nakatsu & Mao Inoue defeated Shunma Katsumata & Kouki Iwasaki when Inoue pinned Iwasaki with the 450 Splash (16:37).
5. Kazusada Higuchi & Katsuhiko Nakajima defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when Higuchi pinned Umeda with the Goten (21:30).

The KO-D Openweight Champion paid a visit to DNA but his team with Kota Umeda was defeated by the impressive pairing of Kazusada Higuchi & Katsuhiko Nakajima. Higuchi was so pleased with his new team that he suggested to Nakajima they should go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles. After a positive reaction from the crowd Nakajima said he couldn’t turn down the offer.

After winning the semi-main event, Ryota Nakatsu challenged Mao Inoue to a singles match on 11th November. Inoue has been motivated to beat the senior DNA wrestlers. Nakatsu may bring him back down to reality.

Daichi Kazato wrestled his first match since the formation of Pro Wrestling BASARA with a victory over Suguru Miyatake.

Mizuki Watase said he learned the severity of different pro wrestling styles when he fought Shinjiro Otani and Keisuke Ishii. With Yuko Miyamoto he learned to show more of his feelings to the audience to gain their support.

3. Mao Inoue defeated Shunma Katsumata with the 450 Splash (9:48).

Katsuhiko Nakajima offered to team up with Kazusada Higuchi for a match sometime in the future. Higuchi was flattered by the offer and said it’s an interesting idea. The team up might happen on the 12th October DNA show in Kitazawa. Yukio Sakaguchi is also scheduled to compete.

There was mixed fortunes for the two new rookies. Mao Inoue got an upset victory over Shunma Katsumata. Despite being smaller, Katsumata should have had the benefit of experience on his side. Instead Inoue had the Swan Dive X Factor scouted and blocked the move with a Dropkick. He then hit the 450 Splash to end it.

Mizuki Watase on the other hand was taken to school by the visiting Shinjiro Otani. Almost literally in fact. Otani submitted Watase with a Half Crab and told him to look up the move on page 279 in his wrestling textbook.

Another new rookie was introduced on the show. Daiki Shimomura is a high school student who wrestles for the nkw micro indie. His debut is set for 12th October.

Kazusada Higuchi was given a special match against an unknown opponent as the prize for winning the Wrestling Koshien 2015 tournament earlier today. The opponent turned out to be Danshoku Dino! Higuchi overpowered Dino from the start but Dino focused on pulling down Higuchi’s shorts. Dino avoided the Goten and used the rare Gay-do Clutch for a two count. Dino went for the Lip Lock but Higuchi ducked. Yukinori Matsui took the Lip Lock and was knocked out. Makoto Oishi ran in to help out Dino but it backfired and Oishi was thrown into Dino’s ass. Higuchi then hit Dino’s ass with Sumo Slaps. Dino escaped the Canadian Backbreaker by applying the Lip Lock. Higuchi tried to stop it by grabbing Dino’s tights like a sumo wrestler but Dino negated it by doing the same to Higuchi’s tights. Higuchi lost conciousness and the DNA wrestlers had to forcefully break up the kiss.

It was a battle between dancing and singing when Kazuki Hirata and Hiroshi Fukuda went face to face. Both wrestlers had to alternate between the two everytime the bell rung. Fukuda got Hirata to sing along with him for the song portion but used the distraction to roll him over for the win.

Dai Suzuki wanted no part of Yukio Sakaguchi and tried to stop the match when he was feeling overwhelmed. He offered Sakaguchi a beer and started to tell his life story. He talked about how he spent his time in Okinawa training to wrestle, replacing palm trees and building a haunted house. When Suzuki finished his story he suddenly rolled over Sakaguchi with a School Boy but only got a nearfall. Suzuki tried to back off but he was put in a Cross Armbreaker and tapped out.

The 5 Way Match begun with a toast. It had to because the stipulation was every wrestler had to be drunk. They also had to take a drink whenever there was a kickout. At one point Antonio Honda went into the crowd looking for a woman. Konosuke Takeshita had to block Honda from the female fans and drag him back to the ring. Takeshita later gave Yasu Urano an Airplane Spin which went about as well as you’d expect from two drunks. Daisuke Sasaki gave everyone a School Boy even the referee. Honda hit Urano over and over until he wound up for the Bionic Elbow. Urano fell down, Honda tripped over him and fell on top of an unconscious Shigehiro Irie for the unintentional victory.

Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata have formed a new tag team for the DDT Dramatic General Election. Their team name is KAT-TOO and their theme is a two man idol group.

There was an argument about Dai Suzuki before the opening match. Suzuki goes back to his home in Okinawa inbetween DNA shows but this means he also misses a lot of ring time when compared to the rest of the DNA students. Sanshiro Takagi was dissatisfied with Suzuki’s lack of dedication. Suzuki said nobody ever complained to him about his schedule. The other DNA wrestlers backed him up and said his situation never bothered them. Takagi gave Suzuki a Stunner and an impromptu 2 Vs 5 Handicap match begun. Takagi tried to give Suzuki the Sit Down Himawari Bomb but Tomomitsu Matsunaga and the DNA wrestlers all blinded him with Beer Mist. Suzuki then rolled over Takagi for the pin. After the match Takagi granted Suzuki another leave of absence to train in Okinawa and Osaka. The goal now is for Suzuki to be ready for “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” on 28th November. Everyone in the ring raised Suzuki over their shoulders to celebrate but they then purposefully let him drop to the mat.

New DNA rookies Mizuki Watase and Mao Inoue were introduced to the crowd again. Gota Ihashi confronted them wanting to test out their abilities. Watase and Inoue sent him fleeing the ring with their Dropkicks.

A Tag Team Battle Royal will take place at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” and will be the debut match for LiLiCo.

Today’s show was built around a one night tournament for the DNA wrestlers. Kazusada Higuchi had a bump in the road in the form of Shunma Katsumata when they fought to a time limit draw in Round 1. The match restarted and Higuchi overpowered Katsumata’s Cradle attempt to pin him. In the semi final Higuchi fought off a spirited attack from Kota Umeda. Meanwhile Ryota Nakatsu made quick work of Suguru Miyatake, beating him in 20 seconds. Despite the disadvantage of wrestling longer matches on the way to the final, Higuchi was able to beat Nakatsu and win the tournament. His prize is 100,000 yen and and a match against Katsuhiko Nakajima in the main event of “DNA 9” on 22nd September.

Two new students were introduced to the crowd. Mizuki Watase is the comedian who signed with DDT earlier this year. Mao Inoue was a high school backyard wrestler.

Watase said he has dreamt of being a wrestler since elementary school. Inoue apologised to his parents but said he was grateful for them and his teachers for letting him take the path of a pro wrestler.

6. 3 Way Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano and KUDO & Masa Takanashi when Higuchi submitted Takanashi with the Canadian Backbreaker (14:30).

The DNA team surpassed expectations and were victorious in the main event 3 Way Match. Kazusada Higuchi stopped HARASHIMA from hitting the Somato and laid him out with the Goten. Masa Takanashi tried to sneak a pin but Higuchi caught him and applied his Modified Canadian Backbreaker to make him submit. KUDO looked on in interest knowing that when he cashes in he will be fighting either HARASHIMA or Higuchi for the KO-D Openweight Title.

Daisuke Sasaki has made it his goal to collect all of the Right To Challenge Contracts. However this means he is also willing to get cheap wins to avoid losing any of them. Sasaki lured Konosuke Takeshita outside the ring and was chased over to the entrance stage. They both climbed up the entrance gate but Sasaki quickly jumped off and tried to run back to the ring. Takeshita caught up and they brawled until Sasaki found an open closet and trapped his opponent inside. Sasaki made it back to the ring in time while Takeshita got counted out. Sasaki later demanded a 3 Way match between himself, KUDO and Kazusada Higuchi for 17th May.

Sanshiro Takagi predicted X was going to be Shiori Asahi. He was correct. He got to dance with Saki Akai when the HIRATA GO glasses came into play. He also pinned Akai with a Backslide Pin that involved shoving both his and Akai’s heads into the bare asses of Makoto Oishi and Danshoku Dino respectively before doing the move properly.

One of the contracts is now in Union hands. Mitomi Masayuki pinned DJ Nira in the dark match to win his contract. Masayuki said he doesn’t know when he will cash in but he wants to do it on a Union show.

It was revealed the Right To Challenge Contract holders will not be allowed compete in this year’s King Of DDT tournament.
