DDT kicked off their October tour today with the final event for Makoto Oishi before he retires from full-time wrestling to relocate and spend more time with his family (he may still compete part-time including when DDT is in his area) and also the third match for Kaisei Takechi, just days after “The Rampage” had his second career match.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 500, a legit advance sellout. 100% legit full capacity sellout. (500 is the venue’s max capacity for wrestling)
Match 1: Yukio Naya beat Yuki Ishida.
Match 2: Jun Akiyama, Takao Soma & Kazumi Suni beat Toru Owashi, Masa Takanashi & Illusion. Soma pinned Takanashi after Authorized Endless Waltz. As a result, Soma wins Takanashi’s “Money In The Bank” title shot.
Match 3: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino beat Keigo Nakamura & To-y. Endo pinned Nakamura after a rotating torture rack bomb.
Match 4: Makoto Oishi & Kaisei Takechi beat Akito & Kazuki Hirata. Oishi pinned Hirata with a tornado clutch. No word on if all the female fans left after this because it wasn’t the main event.
Match 5: KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON beat Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada to retain the titles. Sasaki pinned Masada after Freedom Call. V2 for the champs.
Main Event: Makoto Oishi Final DDT Match: KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & Shunma Katsumata beat Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno to retain the titles. MAO pinned Oishi after Iai Kick. V1 for the champs.
