KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa is a match so important it has to get it’s own show! Even though Omega nominated Nakazawa to be his next challenger out of friendship, Michael wants to prove he is good enough to be champion. With the KO-D Title on stake, this match won’t be fun and games for either man.

What a busy day for Kota Ibushi. First off he wins the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in New Japan, then he teams with future opponent Kenny Omega in DDT. Then he suddenly gets challenged by DJ Nira. That’s right, DJ Nira finally cashed in his “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere” contract to get his KO-D Openweight Title match right there in Shin-Kiba 1st Ring.

But we’ll get to that in a moment. Before that happened, Michael Nakazawa had some words to say to the Golden Lovers. He was in the corner for both Ibushi & Omega when they won their titles in New Japan and All Japan. Now the loyal dog was going to bite back. Him and Gota Ihashi tried to jump the Golden Lovers but they were easily brushed aside. Nakazawa then said the match was now a 3-On-2 Handicap match. Unfortunately for him, the third man never came out and the match continued as scheduled. Kenny ducked the Ultlimate Venom Arm of Nakazawa and pinned him with the Croyt’s Wrath. That was when DJ Nira appeared.

Nira low blowed Ibushi to start the match. He tried to do a Body Slam but the champion was too heavy and fell on top of him. Nira tried a distraction tactic and asked Ibushi to say his 7 times tables and his 2 time tables. The distraction gave Nira enough time to recover and hit Ibushi with the dreaded Rocket Punch. Too bad Ibushi noticed one of his boot laces was untied and he bent over to fix it. Nira flew over Ibushi and the Rocket Punch missed its target. Ibushi then hit Nira with a Lariat and finished him off with multiple Power Bombs to end one of the more bizarre title defences in Ibushi’s career.

DJ Nira was beaten so badly he had to be placed on a table and stretchered out to the back. However, Gorgeous Matsuno kept him in the ring since they had a tag team match against KUDO & Makoto Oishi beginning next. Nira was a non-factor for most of the match even with his opponents trying to keep him standing. After that match, Nira said he decided to cash in tonight because he heard Tsurumi Amon say the Budokan Hall show was cancelled. Amon had no idea where he got that idea from. Nira blamed Amon for his defeat, saying that this show was supposed to be his Budokan moment. He then crawled back onto the stretcher table and asked to be carried away (I managed to get four paragraphs out of a DJ Nira match. I think that’s some sort of achievement.)

Seiya Morohashi continued to wrestle as Shuji Ishikawa’s replacement, taking the big man’s place in the main event. HARASHIMA regained momentum heading towards Budokan Hall after he pinned Shigehiro Irie with the Somato. Afterwards, he brought out Togi Makabe to talk about their upcoming match against Ishikawa & Ryuji Ito. They confirmed it will be a Hardcore match. When Makabe noticed that Ishikawa wasn’t here, he asked where that “muppet” was. When told that Shuji has rubella, Makabe said that was a fine excuse. HARASHIMA vowed that he and Makabe will win.

The friendly competition within Monster Army continued when the Crying Wolf side faced the Familia side in a 6-Man Tag. The Familia brought in an unexpected cornergirl, Yoshiko from Stardom. However, Yoshiko cost her team the match and Antonio Honda revealed her as a spy for Crying Wolf! Honda said that she and Tanomusaku Toba are the final members of their football team for Budokan Hall.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is back from Bolivia and just as active as ever. Nine title changes occured at the show. Choun-Shiryu got revenge on Yuki Sato for ambushing him a few weeks ago by doing the same to win the title. Then during the scheduled title match, Hiroshi Fukuda wound up as the winner. Gorgeous Matsuno then won the belt. Then Matsuno lost it to Makoto Oishi during their tag team match which also included KUDO and a disappointed DJ Nira. Fukuda ran down to the ring to win the belt again before fleeing. Matsuno caught up with Fukuda at the end of the show and left Shin-Kiba as the latest champion.

New World Japan attacked Rion Mizuki as he made his entrance for the opener. After the defeat, Sanshiro Takagi offered to buy Mizuki’s robe for 500,000 yen. Mizuki refused and after a lot of arguing, Takagi said he was going to spend 10 million yen to make the greatest robe ever in time for Budokan Hall.

Tsurumi Amon today held a press conference to explain the rules for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal. There is also some new information on what prizes are on offer. The rules are as follows:

– It is a Royal Rumble match with the bonus of having five seperate envelopes hanging above the ring. Inside each envelope is a contract. The first competitor to grab hold of an envelope will win the prized contract kept inside. Nobody knows which envelope contains which contract.

– The winner of the Battle Royal itself will earn a KO-D Openweight Title shot to be held on May 4th in Korakuen Hall. When a competitor wins a contract he takes no further part in the match.

– Elimination occurs by pinfall, submission, disqualification and being thrown over the top rope and having both feet the floor outside.

– A competitor only gains possession of the contract when the taking of the envelope is approved and confirmed by Tsurumi Amon. The General Manager’s decision is final.

– There are four different prizes on offer with a total of five contracts on the line.

1. “Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder gets to challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title at any DDT event at any time until the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall on 18th August. Two of these contracts will be on the line.

2. “Right To Challenge Tag Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder and a partner of his choice gets to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Title at any DDT show, at any time until the 15th Anniversary show in Budokan Hall on 18th August.

3. “Performance Rights Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder gets to set up his own DDT show at anytime in any location. Of course, the holder is obligated to pay a fee to DDT based on box office earnings. There is no deadline in place for when the contract expires.

4. “Ken Ohka Anytime, Anywhere”: The contract holder can choose to become the next Ken Ohka at anytime. Being Ken Ohka will involve the person becoming a shop manager for DDT and hanging out with female wrestlers while having ulterior motives.

As you can see, there are many prizes on offer. Tsurumi Amon explained that he wants to give the DDT roster as many chances as possible to get involved in the Budokan Hall show.
