Now that the American shows are nothing more than a distant memory it’s back to having matches in Japan for everybody.

A special points system will be put in place for the two Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata matches happening this weekend. There is a ten minute time limit for each match. You gets 2 Points for every 3 count pin or submission victory. You also get 1 Point if the opponent gets counted out of the ring for 20 seconds. Wrestlers are deducted 2 points if they are caught cheating or committing a foul. Akito thinks he has too much of an advantage with these rules so he allows Hirata to score 1 Point every time he puts on Hirata GO! Glasses and 5 Points if he can complete his dance during the match. The scores from both matches will be combined and whoever has the higher score is the winner.

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – Hardcore Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Uh oh. DDT let Takeshi Masada put together a match and the idea he came up with is a Hardcore Tag bout with Brookes, Katsumata & To-y? That’s just asking for trouble.

DDT “DDT HARU NO KEN FESTIVAL ~STILL GOING ON IN UENO~” Results

April 23, 2025

DDT “DDT HARU NO KEN FESTIVAL ~STILL GOING ON IN UENO~”, 23/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) defeated Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuya Koroku when Sasaki submitted Matsunaga with the Crossface Lock (9:36).
2. O-40 Title: Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi (c) with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (10:55).
*Toru Owashi fails in V1. Antonio Honda becomes the 7th O-40 Champion!
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when Masada pinned Sato with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (9:48).
4. Staggered Entry Tag Rumble: MAO & KANON defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuni when MAO pinned Katsumata after the Lariat + McEnroe (22:22).
Order Of Elimination: HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi, Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida, Danshoku Dieno & To-y, Akito & Kazuki Hirata, Shunma Katsumata & Yuni.
5. Keigo Nakamura Send Off Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Jul.2 (17:32).
6. Emergency Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Keigo Nakamura by Referee Stoppage with a Shoulder Lock (1:11).

Today was Keigo Nakamura’s farewell match before he starts his indefinite excursion overseas. His send off match was against Yuki Ueno and he had most of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers all around ringside watching him on. Ueno won the match as expected but Nakamura’s day was not over yet. Ueno had a special present to give Nakamura and it was one more match, this time against his mentor Shinya Aoki! The bonus match didn’t last long because Aoki quickly put Nakamura in a Shoulder Lock and the ref stopped the match to stop Nakamura from fainting. After that match Nakamura told everyone he will do his best and come back stronger. He does not know how many years he will be gone for but he wants everyone to please keep supporting him.

The new tag team Strange Love Connection has already gotten themselves a new member. A Tag Rumble took place where the winners would get a wish granted for them. MAO & KANON won the match then were greeted by a voice from heaven asking for their wish. MAO asked to be paid five times more than he’s getting now but the voice told him that would be impossible. He then asked for 80% of the money made from their portrait sales but that’s impossible too. MAO then thought about it and asked if his rapper friend MC KIMIHIRO can join Strange Love Connection? KIMIHIRO is better on the microphone than MAO or KANON. That way whenever the team gets to close out the show, KIMIHIRO can do it for them. The voice granted the wish but not until the start of May because DDT is going to Sapporo before then and the airfare to there is expensive. MAO already has a plan in mind. Strange Love Connection want to steal NωA Jr.’s opening act performance from them!

The O-40 Title had not been defended since Toru Owashi won it last October and he really wanted to get rid of it. He claimed that nobody has stepped up to challenge him and all of his acrylic stand merch has sold out so there was no point in him being champion anymore. However Daisuke Kiso told everyone Owashi’s merch hadn’t sold out so he still has a reason to be a fighting champion. Owashi went out and tried to directly sell his stands to the crowd until Honda followed him and fought him back to the ring. Back in the ring the Gongitsune spot led to Kiso and Yukinori Matsui accidentally embracing each other to romantic music. Honda rolled up Owashi for a nearfall. Owashi then went for La Magistral Cradle but Honda blocked it and pinned him down for the three count to win the O-40 Title! Honda put the message out that he wants everyone over 40 years old to challenge him, including Stone Cold Steve Austin. He promised to defend the belt until it becomes the O-80 Championship!


DDT “U1 CLIMAX EEL LOVING WRESTLERS BOX OFFICE” Results

April 13, 2025

DDT “U1 CLIMAX EEL LOVING WRESTLERS BOX OFFICE”, 13/04/2025
“Unagi no Eki” Special Venue, Shibushi City, Kagoshima
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. KANON defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Modified Facebuster (8:33).
2. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated To-y with a Strong Haragatame (7:56).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (14:54).
4. Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Ishida with The World’s Best Back Drop (11:21).
5. Special Tag Match: Naomichi Marufuji & Yuki Ueno defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with a Frog Splash (12:46).
6. Yamada Suisan Fish Army Vs Meat Alliance Army, The Final Showdown! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask defeated Aja Kong, Shunma “EL TURKEY” Katsumata & Yuya “GIBIE” Koroku when Power pinned Katsumata with the Shishamo Driver 2025 (15:11).

It’s been four years now of Shishamo Power wrestling annual matches in DDT on behalf of the Yamada Suisan seafood company. And in that time he has introduced DDT to a seemingly never ending rivalry between seafood themed wrestlers and meat eating fighters. In this latest battle the meat eaters Shunma Katsumata & Yuya Koroku summoned Aja Kong to join their side but the alliance collapsed when Katsumata hit Kong over the head with a steel can by accident. The seafood team then all hit their signature moves on Katsumata. Unagi Mask did a Sling Blade, Super Unagi Mask did a Swan Dive Body Press and Shishamo finished him off with the Shishamo Driver 2025. After the match Kong admitted sea food is great but you can never beat chicken, beef and pork! The Yamada Suisan promised to give Kong some unagi to change her mind.

Naomichi Marufuji made a rare visit to DDT for a match pitting him and Yuki Ueno against Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada. He gets along with Ueno but admitted after the match that he doesn’t actually like saunas. But before anything could come from that, Brookes told Marufuji he would be interested in facing him one on one next time he comes over.

Continuing on from yesterday, Danshoku Dieno wrestled his match without using his usual moveset.

KANON used a Modified Facebuster where he lifted up his opponent into a Canadian Backbreaker and then flipped him sideways into a Sitout Facebuster.


DDT “MENTAI WARS” Results

April 12, 2025

DDT “MENTAI WARS”, 12/04/2025
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi with with the Swanton Bomb (8:59).
2. Toru Owashi, Akito & Yuki Ishida defeated HARASHIMA, Azul Dragon & Kazuki Hirata when Akito submitted Hirata with an Overturned Figure 4 Leg Lock (0:11).

3. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (9:16).
4. Jun Akiyama, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya when Akiyama pinned Takao with an Inside Cradle (11:35).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when MAO pinned Paul with the Iai Kick (13:27).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Dieno submitted To-y with a Strong Arm Bar (18:46).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with a Hammer Attack (6:50 pm).
*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,742nd champion.

Danshoku Dieno was having a bad day. First he missed his flight to Fukuoka and had to pay 53,000 yen to change his travel plans and get to the show on time. Then when he arrived at the venue he overheard Shunma Katsumata, To-y and Kazuma Sumi all making fun of him in the hallway. Dieno got so mad that he ran in during the show opening NωA Jr. performance to attack Katsumata and Sumi. Yuki Ueno & To-y ran out to save Katsumata and attack Dieno. That then caused Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada to come out and chase away The 37KAMIINA. In the main event Dieno told everyone he would not use his Danshoku style during the match in order to prepare for Minoru Suzuki. Instead he fought more seriously and even made To-y submit to a strong style Arm Bar. He had finally calmed down once the match was over and told the fans that from here on out he will be gathering information to use in his upcoming match with Suzuki next month. Dieno then named his team today as Analfreude International.

It is now confirmed that the tag team of MAO & KANON is called STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION (I’m going to write it with regular caps from this point forward). They entered to the song “You Know How It Is” by Kero Kero Benito and successfully delivered their first blow on DAMNATION T.A by beating Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul cleanly. They already have a tag move too where MAO does the Whirlwind Kick to the opponent while KANON sweeps their leg with a low Lariat. MAO is so confident this team is going to work out he is already making shirts that he will give out to fans without KANON’s knowledge.

Last night in America, Konosuke Takeshita defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi on a New Japan USA show and used the Somato en route to winning the match. HARASHIMA found out about it and returned the favour back in Japan today. After he hit the Somato on Yuki Ishida he used the Raging Fire to get the win.

Ilusion has his sights on bringing the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles back to DAMNATION T.A. He said they only gave them up in the first place because of an “unwanted child”. Ilusion wants to challenge NωA Jr. for the titles with Sasaki & Hideki Okatani as his partners.

In the aftermath of the main event Kazuki Hirata snuck up behind Katsumata, knocked him out with a hammer and pinned him to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.

Ken Ohka has always looked up to Yuji Nagata for being “Mr. IWGP”. He can never make his dream come true of becoming a great wrestler like Nagata is but he wants to test his unorthodox wrestling abilities against his wrestling hero.

What kind of wheeling and dealing might Sanshiro Takagi get out of booking Suwama for his next MatchMake & Agent show? Maybe Muscle Sakai can give Suwama some savvy business tips for managing Pro Wrestling Evolution.

*V1 for Astronauts.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) defeated Yuya Koroku with the Praying Mantis Bomb (23:38).
*V4 for Chris Brookes.

Today was Yuya Koroku’s big chance to step up and prove to Chris Brookes that he is not a generic Tetsuya Endo but the man who will lead DDT’s new generation. He didn’t have Brookes’s respect at the start though. Brookes threw a chair at him to stop a dive and targeted the leg to keep him grounded. When Koroku found an opening to go on the attack he went after Brookes’s arm. However the damage done to his leg came back to haunt him when he did the Sky Twister Press and was slow enough to go for the cover that Brookes could kick out of it. The frustration got to Koroku and he shouted “I am not Endo”, leaving his guard down for Brookes to slap him senseless. From there Brookes did the Somato but Koroku kicked out at one. Brookes then stunned Koroku with a Buzzsaw Kick and pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb to retain the KO-D Openweight Title.

After the match Brookes finally paid Koroku some respect. He spent all this time badmouthing him but admitted today was fun. Now Brookes is looking forward to winning this year’s King Of DDT so he can choose his next challenger for the KO-D Title. He celebrated the win by sharing drinks with Antonio Honda & Takeshi Honda. They brought a spare can into the ring for the injured Masahiro Takanashi. Backstage the three of them wondered what could happen if the King Of DDT final is between two wrestlers from SCHADENFREUDE International? Meanwhile Koroku said he has learned something from this period of his career. Between this title match and getting to wrestle in New Japan a few days ago, he realized he can’t think of himself as a junior wrestler forever. Today he fought to the end believing in the wrestling he loves. He promises he will come back to this stage and win the KO-D Title.

A tough challenge was given to Astronauts for their first KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura has been working well together as a teacher and student pairing. They also matched the champions strike for strike, hold for hold. There was a moment where Fuminori Abe put Nakamura in the Manjigatame so Aoki did the same to Takuya Nomura. The two then had a strike exchange while still applying the submission holds on the others. Aoki & Nakamura got the upper hand by giving Astronauts stereo Piledrivers. But when Nakamura went to finish Abe off with the Full Nelson Hold, Abe countered it into the O-Manjigatame and modified the submission into a cradle to pin Nakamura for the three count. Astronauts now want to break the record for most KO-D Tag Title defences but found out the current record is held by Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa at 12 wins. Astronauts just so happen to have a tag match against Sawa & Hikaru Sato (together known as SEX-MEN) coming up at Takagi’s MatchMake & Agent show on Wednesday so they now want to make it a title match!

It’s not often when Minoru Suzuki meets his match in the wrestling ring. It’s even more weird when the person he’s in a stalemate with is Danshoku Dieno! Suzuki did not want to deal with Dieno’s usual shenanigans during their tag match. He asked Dieno if he wants to do the same stuff he’s been doing for 20 years or if he wants to fight? Dieno took Suzuki’s comments to heart and decided to pull his tights back up in order to give Suzuki the serious fight he’s been asking for. The two of them tangled themselves into dueling Leg Locks that rolled them out of the ring. They brawled up among the fans while HARASHIMA and Yuki Ueno fought each other by the stage. As the referee was reaching the 20 count, HARASHIMA & Ueno rushed back into the ring. However neither of them were the legal man meaning Dieno and Suzuki got each other counted out for a draw!

Both were still hurting from the fight when they got back into the ring. Dieno straight up told Suzuki he wants to keep fighting so he challenged him to a singles match. Suzuki wanted to know what is with this company when they’re first putting him in a match against a doll and now in a match with Dieno? At least he enjoys teaming with Ueno and would be happy to keep doing that. He can’t tell if Dieno is serious because fighting Suzuki one on one means it is a fight to the death! Dieno understands that and is willing to throw away the Danshoku moveset so he can have a match with Suzuki. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed to book it for 25th May. Dieno then had a close staredown with Suzuki and resisted the temptation to give him the Lip Lock. Then when Suzuki left the ring Yoshihiko appeared from the balcony and lowered itself down to the entrance aisle. Suzuki no sold it and pushed Yoshihiko aside as he walked back to the locker room.

KANON showed up for his Handicap Match against DAMNATION T.A in new ring gear to show he is now fully separated from the unit. Hideki Okatani also had new gear for his comeback match but that was to show he has fully embraced becoming DAMNATION T.A’s newest member. The match was supposed to be just KANON fighting both Okatani & Daisuke Sasaki but the other DAMNATION T.A members unsurprisingly got involved. MJ Paul and Ilusion did what they could to interfere while Sasaki distracted the referee. KANON put up a valiant fight until Sasaki hit him with a chair and Okatani pinned him with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster.

After the match Sasaki said KANON is no longer of any interest to them but Okatani wanted to give him one last finishing blow. KANON blocked Okatani’s chair attack but couldn’t fight back against the numbers. Suddenly a mystery person looking like Kyonin Shihan from IWA Japan ran into the ring and cleared DAMNATION T.A out of it. The person then turned to KANON and offered to help him stand back up. He then removed his disguise to reveal he is MAO! KANON accepted his help and the two left ringside together. Backstage MAO explained that KANON is not an unwanted child because MAO needs him. He always wanted them to team up because KANON is the only one he feels can help him turn DDT upside down in one go. KANON noted that MAO has a busy schedule coming up so while MAO is away, KANON promises he will become somebody worthy enough to be by his side. MAO said they can spread a Strange Love Connection across wrestling. KANON misunderstood and said he only knows “Bad Communication”…

Young Daichi Sato is now DDT’s latest signing so leave it up to Jun Akiyama to try and kill him on his first day. Akiyama gave him a Piledriver, threw him into the corner post, hit him with Knee Strikes including one with the kneepad pulled down and also made contact with a Headbutt. Sato got to show how tough he is to kick out of pins and fight back with Middle Kicks but Akiyama eventually put him down with the Exploder Suplex. He encouraged Sato to get back up under his own power after the match. Sato did so and hit Akiyama with an Elbow Strike. Akiyama ignored it and walked off. He told reporters backstage that Sato needs to build up more stamina because if he can throw a Forearm Strike after the match then he should have done it during the match. Sato admits he was no match against Akiyama but he wants to grow in DDT and become a wrestler who will surpass Akiyama.

The masked dancer Kumadori returned to DDT for his second ever wrestling match. He had to deal with NωA Jr. who felt his abilities were overshadowing their own musical talent. Kazuki Hirata was on Kumadori’s team but put forth such a weak performance he came close to costing his team the win on several occasions. But when Shunma Katsumata declared that the era of TOKYO GO! is over, Hirata found it in himself to fight back with the power of dance. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi joined Katsumata for a singalong but that was countered by MAO & Kumadori joining in with Hirata’s dancing. A dance battle broke out between the two teams and Katsumata succeeded in pinning Hirata with an Inside Cradle for the victory.

After the match Katsumata signaled to Kumadori that he wants to wrestle him again. He then announced that NωA Jr.’s second single called “Oshi Towel de Blow Off Lucha♪” will be released on 6th May. Suddenly Sanshiro Takagi came out and told NωA Jr. the harsh reality. They made 10,000 copies of their first single and only sold 800 of them. The reason for that is because the unit does not have a clear goal. Takagi came up with a solution because he wants to see NωA Jr. win the New Artist Award at the next Japan Record Awards. So Takagi booked an NωA Jr. at Shinjuku Loft on 23rd December and their goal is to sell it out!

All of Harimao were reunited for Naomi Yoshimura’s long awaited return from injury. Yukio Naya wasted no time in calling Yoshimura to start the match against him. To-y was eager to get “T! O! Y!” chants going but Ryota Nakatsu wanted to replace it with “N! K! T!” chants. Takeshi Masada Power Bombed Yuki Ishida into the turnbuckles but was thrown aside by Yoshimura with the Harai Goshi. JJ Furno came close to winning when he hit the Firebird Splash on Kazusada Higuchi but the count was broken up by the rest of Harimao. Higuchi then caught Furno on a dive and gave him the Claw Slam for the finish. It was as good a result that Harimao could ask for because Yoshimura is back and Higuchi got his first direct win since returning too. Yoshimura said his goal is to help Harimao in both DDT and BASARA. This match was Furno’s last appearance in DDT for this tour. He is sure this isn’t the end of him coming here. He says next time he comes to DDT he won’t be coming alone.

In the dark match Toru Owashi wanted to show off his lucha skills against DAMNATION T.A. Honda tried to use the power of love by forming a heart with Owashi using their hands. Paul & Ilusion attacked them only to almost embrace with each other. Honda’s plan didn’t work in the end. Instead Paul & Ilusion squashed him with a Double Body Press and Ilusion went on to pin him with the Swanton Bomb.

The show ended with the King Of DDT 1st Round matches begin announced. The matches taking place on 6th May are Antonio Honda Vs Yuki Ueno, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Akito, KANON Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yukio Naya Vs Daichi Sato, Hideki Okatani Vs To-y, Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA, Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku and Shinya Aoki Vs Kazusada Higuchi.

Nakamura told the fans that the roll up technique he’s been using to win matches will be used to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Astronauts and bring the belts back to DDT. He and Koroku also promoted the first “D GENERATIONS” show happening on 8th April.

A few days ago To-y was abducted by a mysterious person backstage after a DDT show. The person was Dr. Ueno and he transformed To-y into Mecha To-y! Together they fought Kazuki Hirata but just like Mecha Mummy, water was its fatal weakness. Hirata spat water into Mecha To-y making it malfunction. Chris Brookes had to place the faulty robot onto a trolley and wheel it back into the locker room.

NωA Jr. continue to use their song performances at the start of the show as an excuse to roll up each other for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The belt changed hands from Yuni to Kazuma Sumi back to Yuni and then to Shunma Katsumata all within one song.

5. Partner Match ~ BOYZ Vs YaroZ All-Out Battle: The result is withheld.

Oh God this show is a complete nightmare to figure out. The third edition of DDT’s No Spoilers show had a main event pitting wrestlers from BOYZ taking on wrestlers from YaroZ. However DDT will not reveal what happened in the match and they made every attendee promise not to post anything about it, even though everything else was cleared once the clock reached midnight. Some of the wrestlers did pose group photos backstage and put them on social media though. The BOYZ side seems to consist of Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno, Takeshi Masada, Akito & Soma Takao all dressed as cops. The members of the YaroZ team I could find were Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Gota Ihashi. In the middle of it all was bikini model Tena Aoyama. Apparently the two sides were fighting over her.

The World Wide Entertainment match was a Rumble featuring familiar looking wrestlers from around the world. In order of entry we got Hanorek Hogaso (Antonio Honda as Hulk Hogan), “Mr. Perfect” Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi (Hiroshi in his USA gimmick), Nerima Sting (Daisuke Sasaki as Sting), Jibunmadashitakoto Nines (Keigo Nakamura as Seth Rollins), Manmankikind (??? as Mankind), Pakurimusou (Fuminori Abe as Hakushi), Hara Cena (HARASHIMA as John Cena), The Rockza (Keigo Nakamura as The Rock), Fukuda Hiroshides (Hiroshi as Cody Rhodes), Manman Kikeigns (??? as Roman Reigns), Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin (Honda as Stone Cold Steve Austin) and Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin Jr. (Nakamura also as Stone Cold).

To-y requested that his match against Danshoku Dieno would be a Baseball Knuckle Match. The rule is every time they played Rock Paper Scissors during the match the loser would have to remove one piece of clothing. The match would continue until one wrestler lost all of his clothes. To-y entered the match wearing several layers of clothes but Dieno was happy to strip down to his underwear right way. Dieno then went on a winning streak, forcing To-y to eventually strip down to just his own underwear. When Dieno won the final game, the referee ended the match and declared Dieno the winner to save To-y from stripping completely naked in front of everyone.

During the opening of the show Yuya Koroku and Kazuki Hirata got into a fight that made its way into the ring. HARASHIMA was in the middle of the opening speech so he stepped in and told both wrestlers to stop. They agreed and shook each other’s hands but also accidentally headbutted each other in the process. When it was time for the match to happen everyone found out the headbutt caused Koroku and Hirata to swap bodies and costumes! Koroku was now Hirata and Hirata was now Koroku. After doing each other’s spots for the entire match, Hirata (Koroku) pinned Koroku (Hirata) with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win. They stayed in this state during intermission and it was only when the show restarted when they bumped heads again and swapped back to normal.

NωA was reunited to face the new generation that’s replacing them, NωA Jr. There was a problem because Shunma Katsumata is in both groups so had to wrestle on both teams. The other four eventually got sick of him jumping back and forth so they all fought him together and left him in a defeated mess. Both teams won but since Yuni was directly on top of Katsumata for the pin, he was declared the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Katsumata wanted to end the segment on a happy note so he convinced both idol groups to perform together. However it was suddenly interrupted when To-y approached them armed with a knife acting like a crazed stalker. Katsumata calmed the situation by talking To-y out of it and they hugged. But as they were about to leave ringside, Yuki Ueno suddenly stabbed Katsumata through his body with an umbrella and left him for dead!

At the end of the show a mystery man snuck behind To-y backstage and injected something into his neck. To-y was left in an unconscious state and hasn’t been seen since. DDT eventually had an update announcing that somebody named Dr. Ueno will be bringing Mecha To-y to DDT on 3rd April!

4a. Rematch – Falls Count Anywhere: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Honda with the Sentir la Saison Gifu-Style Diving Body Press Through The Table (17:08).

Sunny weather welcomed DDT for their long delayed visit to Sentir la Saison. They were originally meant to hold an outdoor wrestling show at this wedding venue’s car park last August but it was called off due to a typhoon at the time. The enviornment inspired everyone in the main event to take the match away from the ring and all over the parking lot. That caused both teams to get counted out. Antonio Honda briefly disappeared during this and returned wearing a chef outfit. He told everyone today is a happy day where they should forget about the rules so everyone agreed to an immediate rematch where falls counted anywhere!

Things got crazier after the restart. Chris Brookes gave Shunma Katsumata a Piledriver on top of a parked van, To-y cycled around on a bike hitting opponents with a plate and Yuki Ueno drove the ring truck into everybody. SCHADENFREUDE International tried to do the rubber band spot but it backfired when The 37KAMIINA all dodged it and Takeshi Masada took the hit instead, sending his crashing back into a fortress of chairs. Ueno won the match when he climbed on top of a shed and did a Diving Body Press on Honda through a table. The 37KAMIINA all climbed back up to the top of the shed to celebrate and tell everyone how beautiful the view looks. Ueno then declared that all three of them will soon win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!
