DDT held a Gorgeous Matsuno 60th Birthday & 20th Anniversary event today, the first time the wrestler has held one of his “Gorgeous Night” events since before the pandemic began.
Today’s event was held at Fukushima Toyota Crown Arena aka Fukushima National Sports Memorial Gym Sub Arena in Fukushima and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 830, a legit sellout.
Match 1: Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani beat Kazuki Hirata & Yuni. Okatani pinned Yuni with a Northern Lights suplex hold.
Match 2: Yuki Iino beat Kazuma Sumi, Akito & Yuki Ueno in a 4-way by pinning Sumi.
Match 3: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON beat Yusuke Okada, Toi Kojima & Yuya Koroku. Sasaki beat Koroku with a Mystica crossface.
Match 4: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama beat Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida. Endo pinned Ishida after a rotating torture rack bomb.
Match 5: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi beat Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada. Hino pinned Brookes after Fuckin’ BOMB.
Main Event: Gorgeous Matsuno, HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi beat Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda. Matsuno pinned Honda after Gorgeous Superstar Elbow. Afterwards, Matsuno addressed the crowd and talked about how he considered retiring around now but apparently will keep going even though he is only a part-timer. The event also featured two performances by singer Junko Tashiro.
The next event is a mini-event tomorrow at Sumida Park Breeze Hall in Tokyo. This will be weather permitting as it is an outside event and will be cancelled if it rains. There will be no live broadcast.
