DDT ran their annual free Omori Festival-themed outdoor event today outside a train station in Tokyo. It was weather permitting, but the weather was fine so it went on as planned.
Today’s event was held at JR Omori Station East Exit Plaza in Tokyo and may be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
Admission was free but they announced a total attendance of 1029, a super full house.
Match 1: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON beat Yusuke Okada, Yuya Koroku & Yuni. Sasaki pinned Yuni after a spear.
Match 2: Danshoku Dieno beat Rukiya.
Match 3: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Chikara beat Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata. Endo pinned Akito after Burning Star Press.
Match 4: World Omori Champion Takao Soma beat Antonio Honda to retain the title. V1 for Omori.
Match 5: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani beat Aja Kong, Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi. Akai pinned Sumi after Quetzalcoatl. Afterwards, Aja cut a promo and paid respect to Akai, who is retiring in just 2 weeks (Aja is still going strong after an insane 38 years).
Main Event: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toi Kojima beat HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya. Ueno pinned Oishi after BME.
The next event is Friday at Shinjuku Face with an All-Asia Tag Team Championship match (to be held under PWF/All-Japan Pro Wrestling rules as technically it’s their title) and Saki Akai’s final 10th Anniversary match, which also will be the last single match of her career. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Thursday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. Live results are scheduled.
