*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,407th champion.

Daisuke Sasaki kept distracting Kazusada Higuchi by telling him he was his daddy. It got to the point where Higuchi lowered his guard when his “daddy” asked for a hug only for Soma Takao to attack him from behind. Tetsuya Endo made Kazuki Hirata submit to the Modified Yurikamome Hold while Sasaki held HARASHIMA in place with the Crossface Lock. After the match Endo gave HARASHIMA a Dropkick and insulted him for failing to protect his friends. Sasaki joked about Higuchi acting rebellious today but is slowly coming around to accepting who is daddy is. The DAMNATION members then congratulated Endo for finishing in 3rd place at a Best Body Japan contest in Yamagata yesterday.

All four wrestlers in the semi-main event ended up getting stripped down to their underwear as the match went on. What a way for Konosuke Takeshita to celebrate the 7th anniversary of his debut wrestling match! He offered to have a singles match with Intelligence Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 some day.

Shunma Katsumata brought along buckets of toy blocks and MAO brought his concrete blocks for their death match. The ring filled with the toy blocks when the wrestlers spilled the buckets over each other. The concrete blocks came into play when MAO placed them on top of Katsumata’s chest then hit a Hollywood Star Press onto them. Katsumata got his own back by giving MAO a Facecrusher onto the bricks. The ending had MAO filled a plastic case with toy blocks, place it on top of Katsumata and then crash through them onto Katsumata with the Cannonball 450°. MAO said he will never lose to Katsumata but he enjoys wrestling him in fun matches like these so they should do more.

Here’s the latest shenanigans over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The first change happened when Masahiro Takanashi won the 4 Way Match. Makoto Oishi pinned him after the match to win the belt only for Yuki Ueno to hit a Diving Body Press out of nowhere to be the champion again. Oishi attacked Ueno during intermission and won the title with an Octopus Hold. Then at the end of the show Ueno knocked out Oishi with one of the concrete bricks to take back the title. Keigo Nakamura tried to attack Ueno for the belt but couldn’t get the job done.

The second half of today’s Shinjuku FACE double header was DDT hosting the final show of this year’s Beer Garden series. The main event was the annual Beer Garden finale, a 6-Man Tag Match with the teams organised by fans picking balls out of a box. The match everyone got was Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Soma Takao, Mike Bailey & Naomi Yoshimura. Bailey hit the Green Tea Plunge on Takeshita and HARASHIMA jumped on top of them with a Springboard Body Press. Takao broke the pin with a chair and the four of them fought their way out of the ring. That left Higuchi to thump Yoshimura with a Lariat and pin him with the Doctor Bomb.

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a Watermelon Split Match. A watermelon was placed in the ring. If a wrestler damaged the watermelon they would be disqualified. However if a wrestler got a one count pin, they would be given a chance to split the watermelon with a shovel after spinning around in circles ten times while wearing a blindfold. If they damaged the watermelon that way then they would be the winner. Akito and Jiro Kuroshio both had their chances to win but smashing a watermelon while dizzy and blindfolded is a difficult task. Kuroshio only won by accident when he swung the shovel at the ropes, the shovel bounced back, hit Kuroshio in the face and he fell on top of the watermelon to split it into pieces.

Daisuke Sasaki entered the ring after the match but it was just to compliment Kuroshio’s hair and also eat some watermelon. Hisaya Imabayashi didn’t believe him and said he really wanted to be the next Extreme Title challenger. He booked a title match between Kuroshio and Sasaki for 25th August. Kuroshio then asked for a KO-D Tag Team Titles match on the 1st September Osaka show. He wanted either Takeshita or Sanshiro Takagi to be his partner but they both have title defences on that show. Kuroshio then said his partner will be… his older brother Kazutoshi? Imabayashi didn’t know who he was talking about until Kuroshio said he meant Kazusada Higuchi. He got his “brother’s” name wrong. Higuchi accepted the offer and promised to win the tag titles with his “true brother”. A drunk Sasaki fell asleep in the corner while this was going on.

Catastrophe struck at the start of the show when Danshoku Dieno, Yuki Ueno, MAO and Mizuki Watase all collided head first into each other during a respectful handshake. When it was time for their tag match nobody knew what condition the four of them would be in. Dieno came out thinking he was Watase and Ueno thought he was MAO. Then MAO & Watase both came out thinking they were Dieno! They wrestled the match using each other’s moves until Dieno and Ueno had their tights pulled down revealing Danshoku tights underneath. Everybody was now Danshoku Dieno! They all chased after Keigo Nakamura, causing the match to be stopped.

The tag match before that also ended without a winner. Here the two teams agreed to take a drink after every kickout and rope break. Obviously it was another excuse for Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi to get drunk again. Tetsuya Endo and Asuka got to join in. Even Daisuke Kiso was convinced to take some shots. Yukinori Matsui argued with Kiso for drinking at work but Kiso gave him a Lariat. Everyone laughed but the bell rang and the match was ruled a No Contest. No one cared because they still got to drink.

There was a whole lot of dancing in the Rock & Roll 5 Way Death Match. A. YAZAWA did his thing until he was choked out by his own suspenders. Yuni gave Kazuki Hirata an Old School rope walk then danced with Toru Owashi. It wasn’t just rock music, Yukio Sakaguchi wound up dancing to “Swan Lake”! Kazuki Hirata joined in when the music turned to something more danceable for him but Sakaguchi Penalty Kicked him for the win.

Since this was the last day of Beer Garden you can’t be mad that most of the wrestlers were more interested in eating and drinking instead of wrestling. That is what Yukio Naya and Mad Paulie got up to in the opening match. When it was time for them to get involved in the ring they were able to clear house handily. Nobuhiro Shimatani got himself tagged in assuring his partners to leave the match to him. Shunma Katsumata and Hiroshi Yamato took each other out which left no one around to stop Makoto Oishi’s European Clutch on Shimatani.

The show ended with each of the wrestlers raising a toast and shouting “Kanpai” at the fans. Hirata then got a party going by starting the Hirata GO! dance and getting others to join in. Sakaguchi was ready to take part when Saki Akai suddenly knocked him out with a can of beer! Akai pinned him to become the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Hirata then pinned Akai with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win the belt. Sakaguchi got back up and choked out Hirata with the Sleeper Hold to get the title back.

Ueno then offered Sakaguchi a beer but he drank it back so deep that he fell to the mat with the can still on top of his face. Matsui counted to three and declared the Can Of Beer as the new champion! Ueno drank what was left in the can and Matsui then declared him the champion! Sakaguchi chased Ueno out of the ring while HARASHIMA and Takagi said their final words. Takagi said Beer Garden will live forever even though he missed it due to injury.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2019 ~MOONLIGHT EXPRESS DAY~” Results

August 1, 2019

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2019 ~MOONLIGHT EXPRESS DAY~”, 01/08/2019
Shinjuku FACE
504 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. 4 Rounds Of Mizuki Watase Trials: Naomi Yoshimura (Joy), Mike Bailey (Anger), Kazusada Higuchi (Sorrow) & Yoshihiko (Sloth) defeated Mizuki Watase when Yoshihiko pinned Watase with the Reincarnation (12:44).

*Gabai Ji-chan becomes the 1,381st champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Gabai Ji-chan (c) with the Sleeper Hold (8:24 pm).
*Yukio Sakaguchi becomes the 1,382nd champion.
4. Fear! Big Ikemen Brahman Attack! ~Cold Iron Pillar~: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Jiro Kuroshio defeated MAO, Mike Bailey & Asuka when Kei pinned MAO after the Five Body Dissatisfaction (15:04).

The Moonlight Express were joined by Asuka for their turn in charge of Beer Garden week. Facing them was the alliance of good and evil that is Jiro Kuroshio and The Brahman Brothers. Kuroshio was convinced to go along with the Brahmans’ antics including throwing the bowling ball into the suitcase that was pinning Asuka and the Express in the corner. There was brawling all over the venue but Mike Bailey was brought into the ring to get a stake hammered up his backside with a traffic sign. Asuka turned the tables and landed a Moonsault onto Brahman Shu. But Kuroshio blinded MAO with powder and the Brahmans used their double team moves on him. MAO did his best to stay in the match but he was blinded again this time when Kuroshio spat ink in his eyes. This time Kuroshio and the Brahmans all cradled MAO together in a triple pin to get the three count.

The Brahmans celebrated their victory. Brahman Kei told the Express that their loss means they shouldn’t book a Beer Garden show again next year. Instead Gorgeous Matsuno should get the gig and sing for three hours! Bailey consoled MAO who was scared at the thought of hearing Matsuno sing for three hours straight. Makoto Oishi and Shunma Katsumata then came out. They told MAO there was one thing they could do to end the show on a happy note. The NωA can reunite and sing for everyone one more time! MAO learned that his friends old and new will always be there for him. NωA sang “Going my ωay!!!!!～You Are Not Alone” to close out the show.

The elderly Gabai Ji-chan needed assistance from Yukio Sakaguchi to enter the ring for their tag match. Despite his limited movements, Ji-chan was able to do the Old School rope walk with his cane. Also whenever Yuki Ueno & Hiroshi Yamato did something to harm him, an angry Sakaguchi stepped in to dish out some punishment. Sakaguchi got rid of Ueno with a Penalty Kick then choked out Yamato with the Sleeper Hold. Ji-chan then won the match with the Gabaiton Bomb.

After the match Sakaguchi gave Ji-chan a can of beer. He told him to take care of his body to live longer. One way to do that is drink more alcohol. They had a toast until Ji-chan hit Sakaguchi from behind with his cane! Ji-chan rolled up Sakaguchi for the pin and became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! Sakaguchi got back up and put Ji-chan in the Sleeper Hold to win back the title. Ji-chan had to be resuscitated by Yukinori Matsui afterwards.

Mizuki Watase was put through a Rumble style Handicap match with each opponent representing different behaviors. Naomi Yoshimura was “Joy” and he shared beers with Watase before running him over with a Shoulder Block. Mike Bailey was “Anger” and didn’t hold back on attacking Watase. Kazusada Higuchi was “Sorrow” and grieved over Watase’s beating. Last was Yoshihiko as “Comfort”. It just thrown into the ring and did nothing. The numbers game overwhelmed Watase but he was able to fight back. His comeback ended when he tried to give Yoshihiko the Tiger Suplex but it was countered into the Reincarnation. After the match Watase told everyone he wants to stay here and do more pro wrestling. The others congratulated him while “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” played over the speakers.

The NωA reunion actually happened in the first match as all three members got together for a 6-Man Tag Match. They sang “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU” for their entrance. What they did not expect was Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda making their own idol group called HωA. They also sang “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU”. There was also Queen music used during the match. Dieno shenanigans took place, Daisuke Kiso took a ref bump into his rear end and Matsui called off the match while “We Are the Champions” played. NωA then sang “ωe are the HERO!!”.

In the opening announcements Bailey tried to use Google Translate to tell everyone that today is the 3rd anniversary of his first wrestling match in Japan.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2019 ~JULY~” Results

July 27, 2019

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2019 ~JULY~”, 27/07/2019
Yokohama Radiant Hall
246 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Akito & Yukio Naya defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Mizuki Watase when Akito submitted Watase with the Scorpion Lock (9:36).
2. Saki Akai & Makoto Oishi defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Oishi pinned Shimatani with a European Clutch (8:38).
3. Soma Takao defeated Shunsuke Sayama with the Reverse Gory Special Bomb (10:02).
4. Asuka & Shunma Katsumata defeated MAO & Mike Bailey by Disqualification when MAO used a box of toy blocks (9:26).
5. Akito Marunage Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ueno by Countout (19:58).
6. DAMNATION Vs DISASTER BOX: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki pinned Hirata with a Diving Elbow Drop (14:36).
7. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) defeated Antonio Honda with the Modified Cobra Clutch (13:50).
*V? for Yukio Sakaguchi.

Yukio Sakaguchi used Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune against him, forcing his hand into his eye while the Cobra Clutch was applied for the submission victory. During the match Miyako Matsumoto and Saki Akai both tried to pin Sakaguchi to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but he kicked out of their School Boys. When the match was over Yukio Naya and Keigo Nakamura also tried pinning Sakaguchi with School Boys but failed to win the title. Naya demanded to be put into the Battle Royal at the Tokyo Idol Festival next week.

There was a lot of focus on HARASHIMA and Tetsuya Endo in the 6-Man Tag Match. When the match ended HARASHIMA checked on his partners but suddenly got kicked in the head by Endo. The two got into a fight and had to be pulled away from each other. When the ring was cleared Mad Paulie was left on his own. He found a pair of Hirata GO! glasses, put them on and danced.

Yuki Ueno worked double duty in the same match by being on both tag teams. He made his entrance with Naomi Yoshimura then left the ring to re-enter with Konosuke Takeshita. He performed double team moves with both of his partners/opponents until they both decided to tag him in. When Ueno was the legal man on both teams he wound up wrestling himself. An outside brawl resulted in Yoshimura injuring his leg. Takeshita made it back to the ring but Ueno didn’t know which wrestler to be with. Akito got on the microphone and told Ueno he would win if he abandoned Yoshimura and got in the ring. Ueno instead chose to help his DISASTER BOX partner and got counted out.

Akito applauded Ueno for sticking with Yoshimura and said they could win the KO-D Tag Team Titles in the near future. Ueno said that Takeshita was still his best friend. That comment made Shunma Katsumata upset because he thought he was Ueno’s best friend. He got so angry he took out a chopstick and stabbed Ueno in the stomach! The lights briefly went out and the room went dark. When the lights came back on the ring was empty so everyone decided it was time to call intermission.

Katsumata won his tag match by DQ with some trickery. When the referee was knocked down, Katsumata brought in a box of toy blocks and emptied it over the ring canvas. He then passed the empty box over to MAO and played dead. The ref saw MAO with the box but he tried to give it to Asuka. When that failed he hit himself over the head with the box in anger until he was disqualified.

Soma Takao and Shunsuke Sayama are drinking buddies so they were happy to have a match together today. Takao wouldn’t mind teaming with him for a match in the future.

She will be replaced by her sister Francoise☆Ihashi but will still be in attendance to support her team.

It is literally a chair fighting another chair. If that’s not enough to get you excited, Pokotan also came up with a backstory. In the year 199X the world has been destroyed by nuclear flames! The sea is dead, the earth has been ripped open and all forms of life have become extinct. But the chairs still live! The two chairs fighting each other come from the same family and have two other brothers. One of them was excommunicated. The eldest chair Zao is the strongest but the third son Zagi will fight it for a final decisive battle! It’s Fist Of The North Star as seen through the eyes of a pro wrestling mascot!

1. Shunma Katsumata Marunage Match – Toy Block Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO

No need to tell the Lego people, it’s already been sorted. This was supposed to be a Lego Block Death Match but was quickly corrected to a Toy Block Death Match. Unfortunately for Shunma Katsumata the exact wording of the match has backfired on him. MAO used to play with concrete blocks from an early age. It was his favorite educational toy and made him the intelligent man he is today. That means concrete blocks are allowed to be used in the match! Katsumata is trying to protest the rules because he only wanted Lego involved. If he can’t change it then he’ll try to get MAO banned from Twitter like Chris Brookes. Either way, MAO’s going to smash him with a brick.

2. Special Single Match: Maki Itoh Vs Mizuki
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe
4. International Princess Title – 1st Champion Decision Battle: Natsumi Maki Vs International Representative

Miyu Yamashita has come to Miu Watanabe’s aid, reigniting her feud with Sakisama in the process.

Before Mizuki fights for the Princess Title, she has to battle Maki Itoh first. She’s beaten her before but always stayed supportive of her and the Itoh Respect Army. But now the unit is done and Itoh wants to advance even if it means trampling over her former partner!

The match order is not official yet. Three or four more matches will be added.

*V5 for DAMNATION.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Chris Brookes with the Cross-Arm German Suplex (29:30).
*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita.

The main event was a battle for the spirit of DDT. On the one side there was Konosuke Takeshita, the defending KO-D Openweight Champion and current generation ace of the company. Facing him was Chris Brookes, a British wrestler who in short time embraced the company and was given the same affection in return. Brookes implemented some out of the ring tactics to break down the champion. They fought up towards one of the Korakuen Hall entry ways and it ended with Brookes giving Takeshita a flying RKO onto a table below them. When they returned to the ring Takeshita missed a Big Boot and struck Yukinori Matsui by accident. Brookes used this as an opportunity to take out a ladder and crush Takeshita through some plastic cases with a Diving Senton. Another ref bumped saved Brookes because he tapped out to the Walls Of Takeshita but no one was there to end the match. When Takeshita revived Matsui, Brookes hit the Praying Mantis Bomb but a slow count from a struggling ref allowed Takeshita to kick out. Takeshita hit a Lariat and a German Suplex for a nearfall. He then hit the Fable but Brookes had enough energy left to give him the middle finger. Takeshita finished him off with the Cross-Arm German Suplex for a successful first defence.

Takeshita sent Brookes off and was told by Hisaya Imabayashi that his next title defence will be in Osaka on 1st September. Takeshita called out to the locker room asking if there was anyone who wanted to fight him. Takeshita said it would be “first come, first served” and Shinya Aoki came out! He wanted to accept a serious challenge. Takeshita told him they would have a match worthy of the KO-D Title’s history.

The dangerous combination of seaweed and lollipops were not enough for Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Yamato to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Ryan brought out a supersized plastic lolly with seaweed on it and shoved it into Soma Takao’s mouth to take him out. He and Yamato then gave Daisuke Sasaki a Spider German Superplex combo for a nearfall. When Ryan and Takao were wiped out after a Suicide Dive, Sasaki caught Yamato in the Crossover Facelock and got a quick tap out from it. Takao doesn’t want a rematch because he is currently haunted by the image of seaweed and he might not survive it.

A PowerPoint presentation titled “The Power Harassment Problem in Wrestling Groups And Purpose Of Today’s Six-Man Tag Match” explained the situation surrounding Sanshiro Takagi’s part of the show. Takagi was going to reveal Super Sasadango Machine’s phone number during their Weapon Rumble at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019” last week. However Yumehito Imanari decided to expose Takagi’s number instead because he felt Takagi’s plan was employee harassment. Sasadango explained that there are three ways to make an apology: retire, cancel your contract or wrestle a 6-Man Tag Match. Clearly everyone went with Option C. Imanari couldn’t wrestle because of a concussion so Ken Ohka took his place. As serious as the situation is, folks like Shinya Aoki and Hideki Suzuki couldn’t help but get silly. Aoki grappled with Sasadango’s belt and Suzuki broke up a pin by pulling down the back of Aoki’s tights. It seems like the only time Suzuki took the match seriously was when he fought HARASHIMA. Ohka got the pin on Takagi with the Fire Spear, sparing Sasadango & Imanari from further work harassment.

After the match Ohka told Takagi what happened in the past doesn’t matter because we’re all living in the now! Ohka is ambitious and also 42 years old which means he qualifies for a shot at the O-40 Title. Takagi accepted the challenge and said a match between himself and Ohka needs to be at a big show. Imabayashi decided to book the match for “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2019” on 1st September.

That Jiro Kuroshio fella looks like he doesn’t have a nasty bone in his body. But when he was put into a No DQ match with MAO he had to come up with some weapons. What did he make and bring to the match? A giant duck thing. MAO chased Kuroshio out of the ring, the two then climbed some pipes up to the balcony and then tried to throw each other out to the audience below! Kuroshio later lost the audience support when he made a kid cry and found out it was KUDO’s daughter. Back at ringside MAO dropped Kuroshio onto the apron with a Michinoku Driver. He then placed Kuroshio on a castle of chairs and hit a 450 Splash onto them. Kuroshio fought back in the ring by giving MAO the Hybrid Blaster onto the duck. He missed a Moonsault with a trash can which gave MAO an opening. But Kuroshio rolled him into a Cradle and used a chair to tangle up his legs for the three count.

After the match Kuroshio invited Akito into the ring and they talked about some things that happened between them in the past. Like the time Akito first met Kuroshio he was drunk and completely naked. It’s a long story, you should have been there. Then there was that other time when Akito got into a fight with NOSAWA Rongai. Anyway, Akito told Kuroshio they will have a match for the DDT Extreme Title at the 3rd August Beer Garden show. Akito promised the rules he will use is the one that Kuroshio likes the best.

Yukio Sakaguchi was targeted for having the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title during the 3 Way Tag. Makoto Oishi in particular wanted the belt and convinced Tetsuya Endo to help him a little. Yukio Naya helped too which he was supposed to because he was his tag partner. Kazusada Higuchi kept Mad Paulie at bay and Sakaguchi was able to catch Oishi in the Cobra Clutch for the victory.

A sponsorship deal with Calbee & Frito Lay brought along the debuts of King Potato Chips and Dragon Potato Mask. Sadly Toru Owashi and Antonio Honda couldn’t be here to take part in the match. They ate snacks to power up themselves and their partners. Dragon Potato Mask told a story about “Dragon, The Little Fox” and summoned everyone to join together for a super attack. It misfired and hit Kazuki Hirata. King Potato Chip pinned Dragon with La Magistral Cradle to get the win. Hirata attacked Dragon out of frustration after the mask but King came to the rescue. He booted Hirata out of the ring then promoted the snacks with Dragon.

Kota Umeda took part in and won his final DDT match. His last time in the ring was spent with other wrestlers from DNA, the brand he helped start. He pinned Mizuki Watase with the Umeda Driver and then got everyone together for a group photo.

The show ended with Umeda being invited into the ring one last time. Takeshita told him he wanted to defend the KO-D Title against him one day. He knows this isn’t the end of Umeda’s wrestling career so he will look forward to the day they have their title match. Umeda thanked everyone for his five years in DDT. He asked for everyone to support him again if he ever does come back. Another group photo took place in the ring and everyone threw Umeda in the air to celebrate him.

“ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” in Sumo Hall on 3rd November will feature a KO-D Openweight Title match, a Union MAX Title match, a Princess Of Princess Title match and a Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title match. So each DDT brand has their main championships being defended on the show.

DDT will be having matches at the Animate Girls Festival in Ikebukuro on 9th and 10th November.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2019” Results

July 20, 2019

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2019”, 20/07/2019
Tokyo Big Sight West 1.2 Hall
??? Fans

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Kota Umeda defeated HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata and Kazusada Higuchi & MAO when Umeda pinned Hirata with the PK (27:12).

The stage was set for DDT to cause more mayhem at the HandMade In Japan Festival. Kazusada Higuchi & MAO brought out chairs and fighting already broke out while Kazuki Hirata danced his way over to the stage.

The match quickly moved to the Music & Play area of the festival. HARASHIMA dropped a kid on Kota Umeda. Elsewhere Sanshiro Takagi and MAO swung chairs at each other, some of them hitting pillars when they missed their target.

The six wrestlers got back together to trade submission holds. There was a point where Umeda, Higuchi and MAO all put HARASHIMA, Takagi and Hirata in Octopus Holds all at the same time. Higuchi and Takagi later lifted Hirata and MAO into Argentine Backbreakers and carried them over to the live event area in the central lobby.

It was here where HARASHIMA did his usual trick of attacking his opponents with traffic cones over his arms. MAO did a Moonsault off of a vending machine and then everyone went back to the Music & Play area. Higuchi found a table to throw at the others but HARASHIMA squashed him and MAO beneath it with a Somato.

Takagi entered the scene on the Dramatic Dream Cycle with Keigo Nakamura positioned behind him acting like a yankee. He hit everyone with a baseball bat when Takagi cycled past them until Hirata made the bike crash.

MAO stole the Dramatic Dream and crashed it with Higuchi into a castle of chairs by the stage. Hirata picked up one of the chairs but Umeda came along and kicked it into his face. Umeda then hit the Penalty Kick and pinned Hirata for the three count.

Takagi asked the event organiser when next year’s festival will take place. He was told that the date is currently under consideration because of the 2020 Olympics. Takagi said DDT is going through the same problem but what they do have planned is the Saitama Super Arena show on 7th June!
