DDT ran one of their occasional wacky “beer garden pro wrestling” events today, although due to the coronavirus pandemic this was a “non-alcoholic” version.
Today’s event was held at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage in Tokyo and should be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 427, a full house/near sellout.
Match 1: Pre-show dark match: MJ Pawl & KANON beat Hideki Okatani & Takeshi Masada. KANON pinned Masada after Sleepy Hollow.
Match 2: In a Bunkhouse Scramble Weapons Falls Count Anywhere match, Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Illusion beat Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Takao Soma. Naya pinned Ishida after a chokeslam onto a pool.
Match 3: In a “Crocodile Panda Drunk” (or something like that) match with unlimited 1-minute rounds, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi beat HARASHIMA in a 3-way after 6 rounds.
Match 4: Daisuke Sasaki beat El Unicorn.
Match 5: In a 3-way deathmatch, Akito & Makoto Oishi vs. Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno and Saki Akai & Antonio Honda went to an unclear ending.
Match 6: MAO, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima beat Yusuke Okada, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku. Katsumata pinned Koroku after Our MADMAX.
Main Event: In a match where the teams were determined by a special customer lottery (participants were announced in advance), Konosuke Takeshita, Naomi Yoshimura & Chris Brookes beat Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes. Takeshita pinned Brookes after a jumping knee.
The next event is “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2022” on 9/4 at Nagoya Congress Center in Nagoya headlined by 2 title matches including a KO-D Tag Team Championship match and an Atsushi Onita death match. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE including English commentary will begin on 9/4 at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.
