After their scheduled events in Gifu were cancelled due to concerns about an impending hurricane making landfall in Japan (they call them typhoons), DDT went ahead with a Beer Garden Pro Wrestling event today in Tokyo.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 419, a super full house/very near sellout.
Before the matches began, Yuki Ishida appeared and announced he would be participating full-time in DDT going forward.
Match 1: Toru Owashi & beat Yuni & Keigo Nakamura. Owashi pinned Nakamura with La Magistral. As a result, Owashi wins the “Money In The Bank” title shot opportunity held by Nakamura.
Match 2: In a Rock & Roll Death Match, A.YAZAWA beat Kazuma Sumi, AKito & To-y in a 4-way by pinning Sumi.
Match 3: In a Handicap Match, Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Motaro Suzuki beat Masa Takanashi, Takao Soma & Yuya Koroku. KANON beat Kotoku with a ground cobra twist.
Match 4: In a GM Imabayashi New Series Kaidan Shin Numabukuro Death Match, Shunma Katsumata & Jun Akiyama vs. Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi went to a no contest. Apparently Imabayashi got laid out.
Match 5: Chris Brookes beat Illusion. Afterwards, Illusion joined Schadenfreude International.
Main Event: In a match with teams determined by random customer lottery, Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Takeshi Masada beat MAO, HARASHIMA, Kazuki Hirata & Yukio Naya. Endo pinned Hirata after Burning Star Press.
The next event is Wednesday. There will be no live broadcast.
